    Author: Shi Yuchun

    In the endless desert, the shepherds are distributed in different areas.  Often, besides family members, walking on the edge of this desolate desert, it is very difficult to meet people again.  Migrating and drifting on the outskirts of the desert, the animals that follow the herdsmen most are the herds of livestock.  In fact, in the life of nomads, livestock are not only capital and property for making a living, but most of the time, they are inseparable relatives.

    Thinking of the camel that was getting old and now gone, the shepherd was full of gratitude.  The heavy care and worry, many times, make the shepherd can't help but shed tears of longing.

    That camel has nurtured two generations of the shepherd's family.  She used to be the "nanny" of the shepherd's brothers and sisters; she was also the "nanny" of the shepherd's children.  The two generations of the family grew up happily and healthily in this desert under the nourishment of the "nanny" milk.

    I heard from my father that the brothers and sisters of the shepherds all grew up drinking camel milk after weaning at the age of three to five.  At that time, there were more than 20 camels in the family.  Grandpa decided to use "nanny" as the source of milk for the shepherd brothers and sisters after several selections.  At that time, the family was not rich, but the brothers and sisters of the shepherds did not suffer from malnutrition due to lack of supplies when they were young. Because of the sweet milk of the "nanny", everyone was in good health.

    After the shepherd's children were born, the father benefited from the experience of the healthy growth of the shepherd brothers and sisters, and insisted on letting the shepherd feed the children with the milk of the "nanny".  Therefore, the "nanny" is not only the nurse of the shepherd brothers and sisters, but also the nurse of the shepherd's children.

    The shepherd grows up day by day, and the herd of camels at home is also growing.

    When there were more than 20 camels in the family, "nanny" was the star of the camel herd.

    When there were forty or fifty camels in the family, the "Nurse" was still shining among the camels.

    The reason why "Nurse" is eye-catching is not only her contribution to the shepherd family, but also because of her strong body, her high head, her benevolent eyes, her bright appearance, and her softness.  Personality

    Year after year, the desert continues its desolation.  Grandpa has passed away, and Dad is approaching the age of Grandpa, and the shepherd has become the pillar of the family.  Although birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, every time I recall everything about my grandfather; every time I see the old man's curving figure and old back behind my father the shepherd always feels heavy sadness in his heart.

    The number of camels in the family is gradually increasing, old camels die and new camels are born.  These, in the eyes of the shepherd, are commonplace scenes.  However, whenever the "Nurse" needs to be searched hard among the camels, the shepherd knows that she is also getting old slowly.

    Growing up with domesticated animals, the shepherd is familiar with the habits of these animals.

    In the past, I heard from my grandfather that among the population of wild camels, the gradually aging camels would keep a certain distance from the large group of camels, and they would eat grass, drink water, and rest alone

    At that time, the shepherd asked grandpa: Did the old camel not like her family anymore?

    Grandpa said that the old camel was afraid of causing trouble to her herd, and the care of other camels in her herd would make her feel deeply depressed.

    Over the years, the figure of "Nurse" has gradually become thinner, her coat color has gradually lost its luster, and her plump hump has turned into a deflated leather bag on her back.

    Once, when feeding, the shepherd intentionally favored and wanted to take care of the "nanny" and give her more fodder.  The "Nurse" didn't seem to appreciate it. This time, the shepherd read a touch of melancholy from the eyes of the "Nurse".

    The shepherd told Dad about it. Dad sighed and said: It's time to let "Nurse" return to nature. She is old, and our care will only deepen her depression.

    That day, the herdsman drove the camels to graze. The "nanny" was the same as this time. She walked alone, keeping a certain distance from the big team.  This time, the shepherd did not drive the "Nurse" to walk with the camels like many times before.  When the camels moved forward and the shepherd probably couldn't see the figure of "Nurse", he stopped and turned his head, still hoping that "Nurse" could still walk slowly in his vision.  However, when looking back, apart from the desolation, there is no trace of the "Nurse".  The shepherd couldn't help it, and tears welled up in his heart.

    The shepherd asked Dad, why did this happen?

    Dad said: This is respect for the spirit!  We can't give her too much melancholy and make her sentimental at the end of her life.

    Perhaps, Dad is right. Although the camel has been domesticated for hundreds of thousands of years, the essence of camel life still belongs to nature and the vast desert.

    Whenever the sunset is approaching, the shepherd drives the camels home, he always has to do it again and again.?Look back.

    In the shadow of the desolate desert sunset, the herdsman often sees a strong camel with lustrous fur, plump humps, bright eyes, and a high head (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
