Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland
Chapter 172 - 170: Journey into the Heart of the Grassland to Witness Stunning Scenery!
After Jiang Feng finished the city’s horse racing and archery qualifiers.
Without a doubt, he successfully qualified to represent Xilinhot City in the competition.
Although Xilinhot City is the administrative center of Xilingol League and the most economically developed, the skills in these traditional triathlon events are relatively lacking here.
On the contrary, the Mongolian men from the banners are highly skilled in horse riding, archery, wrestling, and bull bone throwing, all are very proficient.
Therefore, Jiang Feng is considered the city’s seed player, carrying the city’s hopes.
It’s almost July, and the Nadamu Festival in Ximeng League is getting closer.
This is the most lively time on the grassland.
Flowers are in full bloom, tourists are visiting, cattle and sheep are well-fed, and the herdsmen are filled with joy all day long.
Summer farm work is relatively less demanding, yields are good, and cattle and sheep visibly fatten. Each robust sheep can fetch a good price.
Jiang Feng practices horseback riding and archery techniques daily.
His coordination with Red Hare is getting better and better.
In order to showcase his skills at the festival, Jiang Feng is making constant efforts.
At the same time, contestants from various places on the grassland are preparing for the Nadamu Festival.
This is a grand event on the grassland.
By then, many herdsmen, tourists, and media workers will come, and a good performance can make one an overnight sensation on the internet.
Jiang Feng rides Red Hare galloping across the grassland.
[Host, go for it, aim for the championship!]
[Although I occasionally mock you, at crucial moments you have to perform well!]
[Is the Nadamu Festival in Ximeng League? I’ve already bought tickets to go!]
[Going to the site to support!]
The atmosphere in the live room is heated.
Currently, Jiang Feng’s popularity is very stable, and many people come to the live room every day.
His kind of high-quality live broadcast, purely focusing on live streaming, is rare on short video platforms.
Therefore, Jiang Feng’s popularity is increasingly booming.
Jiang Feng returns after a lap.
"Now it’s confirmed that I’ll represent Xilinhot in the Ximeng League competition."
"You can simply understand the Nadamu Festival as a kind of grassland sports event."
"However, such a sports event covers multiple cultures; besides traditional items, there are motorbike Nadamu events where many motorbike enthusiasts come for off-road riding."
"There will be motorbike music festivals at night and the like."
"In a few days, the festival will open, lasting for a month, with many tourist projects."
"Everyone can come here to have fun."
Jiang Feng said to everyone.
As a grasslander, Jiang Feng hopes the grassland will be liked by more people.
After he said this, netizens responded one after another:
[Happening to want to travel but not sure where to go, let’s go check out the grassland!]
[Host, you must wait for me!]
Everybody is very enthusiastic.
During this period, Jiang Feng has been on the ranch, feeling slightly bored.
He thought about it and decided to take advantage of this rare time to go deep into the grassland and take a look.
If he doesn’t take the opportunity to go out and explore, it would be a real shame.
It would be a shame to miss the blue skies and white clouds, a shame to miss the blooming dandelions on the Xilingol Grassland.
The ranch is in orderly operation, and there’s no need for him to worry about anything during this period.
"It feels a bit exhausting at the ranch every day; even though Nadamu has opened, there are still half a month before the horse racing and archery contests. Taking advantage of this time while the scenery is still there, I’ll give myself a break tomorrow and take some little guys on a trip."
"I’ll take everyone to see the real Ximeng Grassland."
"Walking along the Ximeng Thousand Mile Grassland Avenue."
"The sky here is very blue, the clouds are very soft, there are countless blooming wildflowers, and the roadside grassland is filled with dandelions."
"It’s summer, and I also want to take a vacation, and go for a trip."
Feeling a stir in his heart, Jiang Feng said with a smile.
His expression is relaxed.
Netizens, however, are increasingly unsettled.
[What? You still want to take a vacation?]
[Playing every day and still taking a vacation? How do you think we 996 worker bees feel?]
[Hey, isn’t this suggesting us to travel? Why is he traveling himself now!]
[Host, don’t be too smug!]
The atmosphere in the live room is very cheerful.
There are many tourist places here, but Jiang Feng doesn’t visit many.
It seems many people don’t like to travel in their own city, always thinking there’s nothing worth seeing, not as interesting as outside.
The unattainable is always in turmoil.
However, it is now the travel season; it’s good to go out and have fun.
Thus, Jiang Feng called Yang Maolin and a few others, saying he plans to go out for about four or five days and arranged the work for them.
Of course, Yang Maolin and the others had no objections.
Jiang Feng set up the live streaming plan for the next few days:
Going deep into the Ximeng Grassland to let people see the real scenery!
The next morning.
Jiang Feng packed his bags and drove the Tank 300.
As for why not driving the Vision, it’s because the Vision is a hybrid, mainly relying on electricity. For such a long-distance road trip, it’s actually less convenient than this off-road fuel car that costs over two hundred thousand.
His off-road vehicle is orange, highlighting the word "flashy."
On this trip, he brought along the Little Border Collie, the Little White Wolf, and the Little Mongolian Mastiff.
Bringing the Little White Wolf is actually not very suitable. He called the forestry bureau for advice, and they said as long as he doesn’t leave the Ximeng Grassland and doesn’t harm the wolves, it’s fine.
Of course, if you’re bringing a wolf out, you must leash it and keep it away from tourists.
Jiang Feng gladly agreed.
The drone was mounted on the car roof by a rod, shooting the scenery ahead at a high angle.
Jiang Feng drove onto the Xilingol Thousand Mile Grassland Avenue.
This is a sightseeing route for road trips.
A highway paved with concrete slabs, surrounded by lush green grasslands on both sides.
Along the way, there were almost no vehicles except for occasional oncoming ones.
In the live stream footage, an orange off-road vehicle travels on an endless road with lush grasslands on both sides.
The sky was a clean blue, a kind of clear light blue.
The white clouds were big and soft, visibly drifting slowly.
Many viewers were captivated by the scenes.
[It’s so beautiful!]
[Oh my god, I really want to go and take photos there!]
[Squatting in the grass to take pictures, no matter how you shoot, it’ll be stunning!]
[The scenery here is truly exceptional!]
People exclaimed repeatedly.
"The place I’m passing now is called Lupine Grassland because it has a peculiar herbaceous plant, the lupine."
"This grassland is more lush than others."
"It’s also the most comfortable segment of the scenic avenue."
Jiang Feng didn’t forget to explain to the viewers from inside the car.
Driving on the scenic avenue is truly relaxing.
The road is smooth and beautifully maintained, with new white and yellow lines.
Jiang Feng didn’t turn on the air conditioner but opened the window slightly.
Xiaojin Hua stuck her head out of the passenger seat, enjoying the grassland breeze blowing towards her.
Border Collies love grasslands; they prefer the vastness of it and the smell of the grass.
Jiang Feng played songs from the grasslands in the live stream.
Mostly songs by Tengger, along with some Mongolian folk tunes, perfectly matching the surrounding scenery.
More and more people clicked in to watch.
Although there are many travel streamers, only top-tier ones attract fans.
Top-tier streamers capture the vast majority of traffic, so Jiang Feng’s live room had a huge audience.
Jiang Feng continued driving forward.
The blue sky and white clouds seemed to be frozen in time; occasionally, there were a few straight small trees swiftly retreating in the camera’s view.
The road extended, but everyone was unaware of the destination.
It’s just a comfortable view.
The most beautiful scenery of a journey lies on the road.
"Today, I’ll first go to Ulgai Bulin Spring to check out the grassland spring."
"Then I’ll visit the Wolf Totem filming location to experience the cultural legacy of the educated youth sent to rural areas back in the day."
"Afterwards, I’ll head to the Ulgai Wild Wolf Valley Scenic Area to see the lone wolves freely running in the grassland."
"The wolves there are gentle and live comfortably without forming packs."
"There’s a bonfire and fireworks at night, so I should just catch it."
Jiang Feng discussed today’s itinerary with everyone.
The grasslands aren’t just covered with grass; there are also mountains, forests, and springs.
The terrain here is quite peculiar.
Accompanied by breathtaking scenery, Jiang Feng reached the Bulin Spring Scenic Area by afternoon.
The scenic area is situated amidst a sea of purple flowers, with a group of buildings.
Including the Bulin Temple, the Octagonal Pavilion, the Genghis Khan Statue, and the Mongolian Tent Group.
Jiang Feng used the drone to introduce the local Mongolian religious culture to everyone.
Explaining the stories of Genghis Khan that took place on this grassland.
At that time, Genghis Khan ventured from the Xilingol Grassland to unify Central Plains and even reached Europe.
Jiang Feng stood beneath the Genghis Khan sculpture, gazed up at the majestic statue, and softly said:
"Genghis Khan holds an irreplaceable position in Mongolia, or rather, he’s the god in Mongolians’ hearts."
"Here, you can see Genghis Khan’s portrait on buildings, goods, even tourist souvenirs, trophies, and medals."
"Although he wasn’t the founder of Mongolia, he was the pioneer who introduced Mongolia to the world."
"Such a person is worthy of remembrance by the grassland."
Jiang Feng’s voice came through the live stream room.
Seeing the towering Genghis Khan Statue.
Listening to Jiang Feng recount the stories of the Mongolian army’s southern expedition in the past.
The sense of history was palpable.
Live stream viewers seemed to hear the clanging hooves on the grassland.
This feeling was very pleasant, leaving people reluctant to leave.
