To the Wonder Episode 5 Recap

In the traditions of the Kazakh people, the cattle, sheep, horses, and camels they raise themselves are considered food exclusively for family, friends, and guests, and are strictly forbidden to be sold as commodities. This means that if strangers visit, the host will generously slaughter cattle or sheep to entertain them, but if the other party proposes to buy, the purity of this friendship is lost.
However, with the changing times, this ancient tradition has gradually faded, but the spirit of curbing desire remains deeply rooted in the hearts of this ethnic group. The grandmother, grandchild, and mother successfully arrived at the summer pasture. To drink fresh sheep milk every day, Zhang Fengxia decided to go out herself to buy sheep. During the bargaining process, the two sides argued fiercely over the price.
As darkness approached, the shepherd suggested Zhang Fengxia stay the night and offered to personally slaughter the sheep Zhang Fengxia had chosen to treat her for dinner. A warm Kazakh shepherd specifically came to the small shop to inform Li Wenxiu that Zhang Fengxia would be exploring the surrounding areas and might return a few days later. Upon hearing that people moving pastures were passing by nearby, Li Wenxiu rushed over in a hurry and indeed saw Ayibek's family.
She arranged to visit Kulan, Ayibek's daughter, when they had time. On her way home, Li Wenxiu encountered Ba Tai herding horses on the grassland. He looked full of charm under the sunlight. According to the Kazakh culture Li Wenxiu knew, friendship or love between people originates from being seen. Therefore, in the Kazakh language, "I like you" translates to "I clearly see you.
" Just as at this moment, Li Wenxiu watched Ba Tai ride towards her, her heart racing, but Ba Tai suddenly turned his gaze towards the herd of horses, seemingly not noticing her presence, which made Li Wenxiu feel deeply disappointed. Despite the picturesque scenery of the summer pasture, opening a tent shop was full of challenges. The tent leaked, and Li Wenxiu had to make makeshift drainage devices with plastic bags overnight.
When her grandmother asked if Li Wenxiu found life in this land boring, Li Wenxiu said she had two worlds: besides life, there was writing, and in that world, she could find many interesting things. Regarding Tuo Ken and Chao Ge's marriage, Ayibek came to speak with Sultan as a mediator, suggesting that the two children would eventually need to return to school, and he feared it would be difficult to care for them thoroughly. But Sultan would not listen.
Ayibek had no choice but to turn to ask him about killing wolves with a hunting rifle. Sultan adamantly denied still having a hunting rifle. Ayibek came to the tent shop to buy things and happened to meet Ba Tai who was visiting Li Wenxiu. He sensed the feelings between the two young people.
After Ba Tai left, Ayibek teased Li Wenxiu about being more open about dating, but seeing Li Wenxiu stubbornly refuse to admit it, he said lying would bring retribution. The next second, the bag filled with rainwater poured onto Li Wenxiu's head, and retribution fell from the sky. Zhang Fengxia came to Fairy Bay alone, triggering emotions and missing her deceased husband, and used a dagger to dig a bullet out of the tree.
At the same time, Gao Xiaoliang got lost in the vast Gobi Desert. Without water and gasoline, he finally collapsed in the desert. As his consciousness blurred, a dusty woman's face appeared before his eyes. When Gao Xiaoliang woke up, he found himself in a tent with Zhang Fengxia sitting beside him. She cut him some mutton to fill his hunger. Zhang Fengxia and Gao Xiaoliang had a simple conversation.
She warned him not to go out at night and not to leave the fire. After speaking, she wrapped herself in her coat and lay down. Gao Xiaoliang was grateful for her rescue and wanted to repay her but was refused. The next morning, Zhang Fengxia helped Gao Xiaoliang flag a car and filled his motorcycle with gas, stating they would part ways once they left the Gobi.
Gao Xiaoliang lied that his friends had cheated him out of money and hoped to follow Zhang Fengxia, even if it was just to work for her, but was refused again. Li Wenxiu and Kulan went to the river to wash clothes and happened to meet Tuo Ken, so they lent her a washboard to use. Tuo Ken revealed that Kulan's cousin was about to get married, Ba Tai would also attend, and invited Li Wenxiu to the wedding.
Meanwhile, Zhang Fengxia left Gao Xiaoliang and returned home. Gao Xiaoliang's motorcycle had problems, and she left him by the woods. Fortunately, a fellow villager helped repair his bike and informed him of Zhang Fengxia's whereabouts. During their chat, Li Wenxiu learned that Kulan already had someone she liked and became curious, but Kulan did not reveal the person's identity. Tuo Ken wanted to attend the wedding and asked Sultan to help look after her children. Unexpectedly, Sultan readily agreed.
Afterward, Li Wenxiu, Kulan, and Tuo Ken happily headed to the wedding. On the way, they picked many wild edible plants and saw a group of boys riding horses at full gallop on a hill, with Ba Tai being particularly prominent and handsome at the front. Meanwhile, guided by a local shepherd, Gao Xiaoliang finally found the small shop run by Zhang Fengxia.
