Chapter 22: Brother Li, the Enthusiastic Racecourse

The next morning, Chen An opened his eyes from a deep sleep and habitually grabbed the hot pack he had been holding all night.

"If you move, I'll chop off your claws." Chen Nanxing rolled his eyes at the little bastard. He called him an honest and reliable young man. I think he's almost as good as a little wolf.

Chen An withdrew his hand awkwardly and said with a smile: "I am afraid that you haven't woken up yet, so I am helping you to circulate blood."

"You still say?"

Chen An quickly surrendered. He couldn't play nice anymore after taking advantage of the situation. He kissed Chen Nanxing on the face and said, "You take a nap. I'll make breakfast. What do you want to eat, honey?"

"Well, I want to drink egg soup, eat potato cakes, and eat chili pickles. That's all..."

"Okay, no problem. It'll be done in half an hour. I'll call you later."

At 8:30 in the morning, the two took a taxi to a car rental company in the city. They were wearing black and white couple sportswear and sunglasses, which attracted everyone's attention.

Soon the two chose a domestic off-road vehicle. Their destination today was Dalai Lake, one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China.

Driving on the road from downtown Manzhouli to Dalai Lake, the stereo was playing a song characteristic of the grassland... "The man with the lasso... is like an eagle..."

"Xiao An, do you think we came too early? This is not like what is described in the poem."

"The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and the cattle and sheep are revealed. You are not talking about this song, are you?"

"Yes, isn't this a description of the prairie?"

"That one describes the scenery in Baotou and has nothing to do with Hulunbuir. Besides, the grass here on the roadside must be shorter. It would be much better if it were in the grassland." Chen An explained.

"Xiao An, how do you know so much?"

"The book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own golden house."

"cut...."

It is only about 20 kilometers from the city to Lake Dalai, and since it is not the peak tourist season yet, the traffic on this road section is very light.

"Xiao An, look there's a yurt over there, shall we stop and take a look?"

Chen An took a closer look and could see the name on the sign: Black Stallion Riding Ranch.

"It's a horse farm. Haven't you always wanted to ride a horse? I'll teach you..." Chen An's previous incarnation knew how to ride a horse, not to mention the original owner of this body. He could ride dogs and pigs, and those who were a little older could ride donkeys and cows. Horses were also a common occurrence for him.

When they reached the intersection, Chen An quickly reminded that he had suffered such a loss in his previous life. If you go to travel on the grassland, the herdsmen will ask you for money when you run into the grassland. They are very enthusiastic and you will easily get beaten if you don’t give them money.

"Nannan, go slower when going downhill ahead, and be careful not to run over the grass, or it will be troublesome."

He parked the car in the open space and took a rough look. The horse farm was not very big. There were only about thirty horses on the hitching posts. There were only seven yurts, a large shed and an RV in the entire farm. Chen An looked at the horse farm in front of him and couldn't help but have more thoughts.

As soon as the two got out of the car, a thin, dark-faced man came over and asked, "Are you two going on a self-driving tour?"

Chen An smiled and took out a cigarette, handed it over and asked, "I guess so. How much do you charge for riding a horse here?"

The boss lit a cigarette and made a judgment about the two people. The license plate was local, but the accent was not. They were probably renting a car for fun.

"That depends on how long you plan to play. If it's a small circle, it's 600 yuan per person, and yuan for a large circle. If you cross the grassland from here to the lake, then it's yuan per person. But you have to be experienced and know how to ride a horse, otherwise you won't be able to handle it."

"How are the big circles and small circles divided?" Chen An asked curiously.

The boss gestured roughly and Chen An roughly understood it. The small circle was a straight road, about one kilometer round trip. As for the big circle, it went around the surrounding grassland, about two or three kilometers away.

Chen An started bargaining again. "Dude, I've been able to ride a horse since I was a kid, so my skills are no problem. My girlfriend in Beijing has never ridden a horse before, so I can take her with me. I won't bother your horse trainer. And you know, the first time you ride a horse, you can't ride it for too long, otherwise you'll feel uncomfortable the next day."

The boss reminded him, "Are you sure your technique is fine? I am reminding you that although there is not much traffic here now, it will still cause problems if the horse runs around. You should think about it carefully."

"Don't worry buddy, I haven't married such a beautiful wife yet, I won't joke about this matter."

"Haha, man, you're quite interesting."

Chen An smiled and said, "I understand what's going on here. It's not easy for you to make money. Usually, no matter if it's a travel agency or a taxi, you have to give them at least half of the commission. How about this, we pay 200 yuan and play around here for a while. Besides, we plan to stay here for a few months. My girlfriend likes horseback riding very much, so she will definitely bother her. Let's make friends."

"Brother, since you said so, I have nothing else to say. Anyway, there are basically few tourists a day now, so you can just have fun. My name is Li Quan, what should I call you brother?"

"Brother Li, my name is Chen An, you can just call me Xiao Chen, this is my girlfriend, Chen Nanxing."

Chen Nanxing extended his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Brother Li, just call me Nanxing, that's what my friends call me."

Brother Li wiped his hands, shook hands gently with Chen Nanxing and said with a smile: "It's really fate. My wife and I both have the last name Li, and the child generously took her last name, so we didn't even have to pay for the betrothal gift."

"Brother Li, let's go with the same idea."

Chen Nanxing rolled his eyes at the two men.

Li Quan smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, you two wait for me to pick two docile horses, and you two can get familiar with the environment first..."

Watching Li Quan walk away, Chen Nanxing asked in a low voice: "Xiao An, how do you know everything?"

"I am so good in so many other ways. You will know them all in the future..."

"Stinky..."

Soon Brother Li came over leading two horses. Chen Nanxing looked at the two horses in front of him with a very strange expression... Mainly because the two yellow and white horses were very different in size. One looked stronger than a cow, while the other looked handsome with delicate features, a well-proportioned body, and a wisp of mane on its head, which made it look particularly handsome.

"Brother, this thinner one is called Xiaohua. You can ride it. I've put a Mongolian saddle on it. This guy is a walking horse. His legs are fast, just like a human race walker. His speed is not slower than that of an average horse trotting."

"This horse Dahua is definitely the mainstay of my place. He weighs more than a thousand pounds, and his only advantage is that he is honest." As he said this, he patted Dahua on the butt, but the guy didn't even raise his head.

"See? Not to mention riding on it, it won't even move you even if you jump around on it. Most of the tourists who come here lean on it to take pictures while standing on the horse's back."

"I'll put a military saddle on it later. It's perfect for my sister-in-law to ride. It's more stable. And it's meaty, so it won't be tiring to sit on it."

Chen An was very satisfied. He took out the wedding cigarettes and stuffed them directly into Brother Li's hand, saying with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Li."

"You're welcome..."

"Keep it, Brother Li. How can I smoke here? I didn't bring any gifts this time. I'll bring you some fruits or something next time..."

Brother Li looked at Chen An and said with a smile: "Brother, you are a good person. Eat here at noon. Your sister-in-law went out to buy food. There will be delicious food at noon."

"Okay, thanks, Brother Li, I won't be polite with you..." Chen An thought this guy was nice, it would be nice to make friends with him...
