They eat all the grass.

Out here, the grass is life.

The Big Life.

All else is Little Life...

...that depends on the Big Life

for survival.

If gazelles are so horrible...

...why do you rescue and free them?

This time, the wolves killed too many.

We have to keep enough gazelles

for them to eat next year.

If not,

they will attack our sheep.

To the Venerable Tribal Leader!

When will you marry a Mongol girl...

...and father a Mongol brat?

Then you'll be one of us!

Especially our beauty, Gasma!

She howls at night!

What are you talking about?

Bullshit!

We can't sleep well!

Be quiet, be quiet!

She is...

...the wolf...

...and you are, baa...

...the sheep.

She sticks her teeth in your neck!

Shut up! You will pay for that!

You're always talking bullshit!

- I dare you, say that again!

I'll teach you a lesson.

Batu, did I say anything wrong?

Lamjav said the same thing, too.

You have to blame yourself.

You deserve it!

You're such a bad guy!

I dare you, say that again!

You deserve that!

Help!

A present for you.

Here you are.

This is Yill. It is my dog.

Yill, you stole my meat.

What's up?

Shartseren!

Let's go!

Let's stay.

We can take more gazelles tomorrow.

We have enough.

What's left is the wolves' share.

Tengger is telling us to leave.

Okay.

We have more than enough

for ourselves.

You'd never see

this much meat in the east.

Have you heard

of the famine there?

So where's this big snow lake of yours?

There's no such place.

120 yuan.

Yes.

- Let's go.

- Bye.

I don't have enough money.

How much have you got?

Oh.

Bring us more gazelles then...

...and you'll be able to pay for it.

Cheers.

To the grassland.

It is forbidden to say.

Hurry. Dad is waiting for dinner.

Thank you.

Hurry!

Load them all!

Pack them fast.

Let's get out of here.

Hurry up.

One, two, three.

Looks like...

...you've settled in right here.

We like it here.

Don't get too comfortable.

You're here

to pass on your knowledge...

...and change these primitives.

Your brigade has been chosen...

...to look after those horses.

It's an immense honor.

It shows how much the Superior Level

puts its trust in you.

These horses...

...are the cream

of the People's Liberation Army's stables.

They are a national treasure.

Brigade leader...

...who do you think

could look after these horses?

Batu, my son, will be in charge.

He is our best herder.

Shartseren will assist him.

Thank you.

Great.

I received this directive...

...to rid the wolves' lairs of their cubs.

I know...

...it is your custom.

You do it every spring, don't you?

The wolves' meat storage

has been looted.

They're already hungry.

That's not my problem.
