Under Akxi's warm hospitality, everyone quickly became acquainted.
When Zhou Chao mentioned wanting to ride a horse around, Akxi's expression turned troubled. Just as the tour guide had mentioned earlier, Akxi politely declined Zhou Chao's proposal.
"Mr. Zhou, it's not that I don't want you to ride your own horses, but things have changed," Akxi explained before Zhou Chao could respond.
Originally, Akxi owned a ranch near the tourist area, which collaborated with local herders to provide horses for visitors. It was a win-win situation: the tourist area provided the space, while the herders supplied the horses.
At first, visitors were allowed to ride the horses. However, a minor incident occurred not long after. One tourist, confident in their riding skills, decided to show off to their friends. Unfortunately, their actions spooked the horse, leading to a reckless gallop across the prairie. It took Akxi's intervention to calm the horse down.
