What is a sheepfold in the wilderness and a shepherd on the edge of the city?

There are many sheep and mutton in Xinjiang, and there are many pastures and shepherds all over Xinjiang. I have read Altay series books written by Li Juan, a female writer in Xinjiang, which are about sheep and pasture life. At that time, I was still thinking that the life described in the book was far from me. The last time I saw sheep was on a pasture in a scenic spot. The life of herdsmen has been linked with tourism, and their living conditions have improved a lot. ? Two days ago, I went to Shirengou in the eastern suburb of Urumqi and wandered around casually. On the way, I suddenly met a flock of sheep crossing the road. I haven't seen such a scene for a long time. I didn't expect there are shepherds on the edge of the city. I quickly took this group of photos and recorded the picture of sheep crossing the road. Some people may say that there is nothing to see when sheep cross the road. In fact, it is very common in rural farms and mountain pastures in Xinjiang, but in the suburbs of Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, it is not in Nanshan or pastures. I still feel quite surprised.

Although this road is not a bustling city street, there are many cars passing by. When the sheep came slowly and crossed the road leisurely, all the cars on the road stopped and the cars made way for the sheep. It is a harmonious picture, and the sheep are not afraid to cross the road in line.

I stood by and didn't worry that the sheep would hit me, because I knew that sheep were very important to herders. They are docile animals. As long as we pedestrians and vehicles don't frighten them, they won't be frightened.

The sheep came from the east path, just at the T-junction, and the shepherd followed. At first, the sheep wanted to go to the Woods, where there was grass to eat. The shepherd shouted several times and drove the leader back to the road, and the sheep behind him followed in turn, which was quite interesting. ? When sheep cross the road, they are animals after all. They don't know how to cross the road in a straight line. Recently, they took a circuitous route. The passing cars didn't know how the sheep would go, so they began to slow down and give way far away, waiting patiently for all the sheep to cross the road.

I observed it for a while. It seems that the herdsmen's home is just across the street. The sheep are familiar with it and leisurely walk along the road to eat grass. This is the most beautiful scenery I saw on an ordinary morning. Maybe it's nothing in the eyes of others. Life is like this. As long as you are good at discovering, there are beautiful scenery around you. ?
