46 Wilderness Survival

◎Ye Zhizhi instantly stood up, she was fine again! ◎

Silver Little Gray, who had been playing by himself nearby, ran over and saw Sister Wolf get down to the ground from a distance. He rushed over and saw Sister Wolf lying on the ground, then sliding down quickly and howling with excitement.

Silver Little Gray looked at the wolf sister at the bottom of the mountain, and his pair of childish animal eyes lit up instantly, looking very amused!

It immediately lay down on the ice, imitating the movements of the wolf sister, pushing off with all its strength, and sliding down the high hillside. The increasingly faster speed made Silver Little Gray howl loudly. As it slid down, it hit the wolf sister below very accurately, and they rolled together and continued to slide.

Ye Zhizhi: "..." The happiness suddenly disappeared, and I even felt a little tired.

Silver Gray had no idea that he had gotten into trouble. He thought this was really funny and quickly lowered his head to nudge Ye Zhizhi, swinging his wet and sticky wolf tail back and forth. His sparkling eyes looked over and met Ye Zhizhi's gaze, clearly reading, "Keep going, do it a billion times!"

Ye Zhizhi, who inexplicably understood what was going on: "..." Ye Zhizhi lay on her back on the ice, with a look of despair written on her face. But don't, her small body can't withstand another collision.

She was lucky enough to be alright this time, thanks to her warm clothes, but that doesn't mean she will be so lucky next time.

Ye Zhizhi struggled for a while before finally turning over and sitting up. Then she saw Yin Xiaohui, who was dirty and wet all over.

She looked down at herself and saw that there was something dirty and wet on the musk ox's fur. Behind Silver Little Gray, it slid all the way from the top to the feet of Silver Little Gray, leaving a long gray trail.

Ahhh, where did Silver Little Gray get this dirty? It's even dirtier than anything she's seen before!

This pair of wolf brothers were born to control her, right?

Ye Zhizhi was so angry at Yin Xiaohui that her hands and feet became more nimble. She got up, grabbed Yin Xiaohui's fur, and pulled it up to find a place where she could wash Yin Xiaohui's fur.

Silver Gray thought that Sister Wolf was going to continue sliding with him, so he cooperated by wagging his tail and following her upwards.

As a result, after coming up, Sister Wolf continued to pull it away.

"Ah, ah, woo?" Silver Gray was puzzled. He didn't want to leave and wanted to continue playing, but when Wolf Sister glared at him, he folded his ears and followed her, whimpering in grievance.

The wolf king and the silver wolf, who were standing not far away, saw the pair of cubs that had become dirty and silently looked away.

It was the time when the ice and snow were melting, so it was still easy to find water. Ye Zhizhi quickly found a low-lying area with a pool of water on it. It was a small puddle that looked quite clear.

Ye Zhizhi asked Yin Xiaohui to go down and wash, and he also splashed water on it with his little hands and rubbed it for a while.

The water was very cold, and soon her two little hands were frozen red. Ye Zhizhi was worried that Yin Xiaohui would not be able to adapt to the cold, but since it didn't look like it was cold and was still howling, he was heartless and let it wash clean.

Seeing that he couldn't play the same game as before for a while, Silver Gray had no choice but to wash his fur in the puddle. When it was finally clean and got approval to come out, he shook his fur aside.

The fur of Ye Zhizhi's fur cloak was also wet. Both of her hands were tied with fur, making it difficult to fold the joints back to wash the fur with her hands. Fortunately, only the outer layer was wet, and it also washed away the dirty water on Yin Xiaohui's body. The fur suit inside her was still intact, so she just ignored it.

Ye Zhizhi quickly rushed to the valley. She hadn’t even started skating yet!

Silver Gray also ran excitedly.

This time Ye Zhizhi learned her lesson. She let Yin Xiaohui slide first and she followed behind so that she would not be bumped again.

Suddenly, the loud cries of the cubs could be heard again in the valley.

Their voices traveled far and attracted the mother wolf and three cubs who were wandering around elsewhere.

When the three wolf cubs saw their older brothers and sisters in the pack having so much fun, they excitedly rushed over to join them.

This is even more lively.

They played for a long time, even until the wolves that ran out of their territory came back, still having fun in the valley.

The wolves were attracted here and saw that all the wolves in the tribe who had not left their territory were here.

Yin Yi and the others saw a group of wolf cubs sliding down the valley diagonally opposite, and their eyes lit up.

It looks like fun!

Yin Yi reacted the fastest, imitating Ye Zhizhi's current posture, with his hind legs in front and his head behind, and the whole wolf slid down.

Boom!

Click, click!

It crashed straight into the protruding ice pile at the foot of the col, causing the ice to shatter with a sound.

“Ouch!!!”

Ye Zhizhi, who was having fun, heard the sound, turned his head and looked over, then saw Erzong, Sanbai and Xiaobai sliding down one after another and hitting the ice pile one after another.

The nearly two-meter-high ice pile could not withstand the repeated impact of the young wolf, and broke into pieces that fell down, hitting the wolf who was already dizzy and even more dizzy.

Ye Zhizhi immediately rushed over with concern. She rushed too fast and couldn't brake in time. She fell directly onto Yin Yi who had just crawled out of the ice pile and sank into the fur.

Yin Yi, who was almost injured, said: "..."

Ye Zhizhi raised his head, let out a concerned cry, and touched Wolf Brother's fur. Is he okay?

Yin Yi stood up, shook his fur, and shook off the broken ice on his body.

The other wolves also stood up one after another, shaking off the broken ice on their bodies.

Ye Zhizhi looked at them one by one and was relieved when he saw that they were not hurt.

She howled twice and said, "Brother Wolf, you guys really don't pay attention to the situation. Her side is the suitable place for sliding. The slope is long and there is no ice pile blocking the way below."

The slope where Brother Wolf was sliding was steep and short, and there were several piles of ice below. If not them, who would they crash into?

Ye Zhizhi called them to her side. Seeing how smart Uncle Scar and the others were, even if they wanted to play, they would first run to their side before starting to play.

Seeing that even the calm Uncle Duanwei was gliding along, Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but look at the wolf king and wolf mother who had been watching for a long time not far away.

She didn't think about whether the wolf king and the wolf mother would want to play. Ye Zhizhi saw that other adult wolves were having more fun than the cubs, so why didn't she think of it?

The wolves must have never played like this before. They are animals that like to play and have fun. In the past, they only played by chasing and fighting with other members of the tribe.

Ye Zhizhi's leadership is equivalent to opening up a new world for them.

Ye Zhizhi went over to talk to the wolf king father and wolf mother.

Come over and play together!

The wolf king and the wolf mother both understood what Ye Zhizhi meant, but they remained motionless, showing no intention of playing together. The wolf mother even lowered her head and nudged Ye Zhizhi, asking her to go over and continue playing.

Ye Zhizhi called out to them as he walked, and seeing that they hadn't changed their minds, he knew they really didn't want to play. Ye Zhizhi didn't force them anymore and followed the group to continue playing.

Of course, she didn't know that after Ye Zhizhi fell asleep that night, the Wolf King and the Silver Wolf quietly went out and did not return until dawn.

The wolves found new fun and stopped rushing out of their territory.

This valley became the wolves' new playground. When they got too excited, some wolves would bump into the raised ice piles in the valley from time to time, breaking a bunch of them. Fortunately, their heads were relatively hard and they didn't get hurt.

However, they didn't play for long. As the temperature gradually rose and the glacier melted faster, the large ice blocks soon began to melt.

This period of time was when the ice melted rapidly, and the valley where they played was no longer suitable for playing.

The wolves can only rest in their dens regretfully. When the ice and snow melt rapidly, it is also a very dangerous thing for the wolves.

Ye Zhizhi started to make his own fire in the cave.

Since she couldn't do anything else for the time being, she tried to experiment and figure out how to preserve the fire and take it out.

Ye Zhizhi thought for a long time and finally remembered a clip from a TV drama she had watched. The heroine was holding a tube-like object and blew on it to make fire.

When Ye Zhizhi saw that tube-like thing, the first thing that came to his mind was bamboo.

If she had bamboo, it would be much more convenient. She could even bring boiled water with her when she went out, use it to store many things, and make bowls. However, she had never seen a bamboo forest outside. Instead, she saw more strange and towering ancient trees.

If she can find a bamboo forest, she can also unlock new food, such as bamboo shoots...

Ye Zhizhi swallowed his saliva and felt greedy at the thought of anything to eat.

Since she couldn't find any bamboo at the moment, she looked in the firewood she brought back to see if there were any hollow branches, or she could hollow out the middle and make one herself, and then study what kind of fire could last longer.

While Ye Zhizhi was busy with his research, the world outside the cave had changed drastically.

Melting snow and ice washed over the mountains and forests, sprouting new buds from the branches of dead trees, making the lush forests even greener. Vast swathes of green were lush, with only a few mountaintops still covered in snow, though this was slowly melting as the temperature changed.

The wolves that had been hiding in the cave for a while ran out again and were almost never in their den.

Ye Zhizhi had taken off her heavy musk ox leather suit, but pieces of rabbit fur were still tied around her hands and feet, avoiding the joints to avoid affecting the movement of her hands and feet. She also had a small suspender-style fur vest tied around her body, and then she put on her only hooded dress.

The temperature outside was already very suitable for the wolves, but for Ye Zhizhi, the late spring cold snap had not yet ended and he needed to keep warm.

After she put on a few small furs, it was just right.

Ye Zhizhi thought of this method to arm herself because she also wanted to go out, and she wanted to go outside the territory with the wolf pack.

But before that, she needs to get her farm and planting business going first.

The medicinal plants have started to sprout and grow leaves again, so there is no need to worry about them anymore.

After the ice and snow in the valley melted, green plants began to grow wildly, and the rabbits that had luckily escaped the wolves and the harsh winter ran out.

Ye Zhizhi saw the familiar gray rabbit. Although it was much thinner than before, it still looked energetic and was now jumping out to look for food.

Ye Zhizhi was surprised. In winter, the entire valley was blocked by glaciers. She didn't expect that rabbits could survive under such circumstances.

It can be seen that animals have their own way of survival.

What a lucky guy! Ye Zhizhi stared at the rabbit and thought, if that's the case, I won't eat it and just keep it as a pet.

Ye Zhizhi stopped Yin Xiaohui from wanting to run down and catch rabbits to eat. He repaired the fence in the valley, waited for the wolves to bring back live prey to continue breeding, and then returned to the cave with the old wolf and Yin Xiaohui.

The wolves brought back a lot of prey the next day, several of which were thrown into the valley alive, and the dead prey became food for the wolves left in the cave.

Whenever Yin Yi and the others wanted to go out to play again, Ye Zhizhi would grab the silver wolf in the den and not let go.

She also wants to go outside the territory!

In the end, Silver Wolf was so harassed that he had no choice but to take Ye Zhizhi and the wolf pack out. Of course, Silver Little Gray wanted to follow but was rejected, so the old wolf stayed behind to watch over him.

Silver Gray: "Awooo..."

Ye Zhizhi expressed some sympathy in his heart. If there were any more, there would be none left. There was nothing he could do because the cubs did not have the right to freedom as wolves.

Ye Zhizhi sat on the back of the silver wolf and ran all the way to the outside of the territory. She felt the cool breeze blowing across her face and howled with joy. Several young silver wolves responded loudly from time to time.

After leaving the territory, the wolves slowed down and Ye Zhizhi was about to land.

She still has a strong sense of crisis. Now that she can run and jump, she can no longer rely on wolves to carry her when she goes out like before. She needs to practice her leg strength so that if she encounters danger in the future, she can run away in time.

Ye Zhizhi's feet were wrapped with rabbit skin, and only the front of her toes were slightly cracked. She tried running and jumping for a while, and it didn't hurt her feet and didn't affect her speed, so she ran in the mountains and forests.

There was no real road in the mountains. Ye Zhizhi didn't run very fast at the beginning. There were too many obstacles ahead, and she had to climb on all fours from time to time. However, after running for a while, she found that her feet didn't feel tired at all, and she even jumped suddenly when a small obstacle appeared in front of her.

Hey, easy to cross.

Ye Zhizhi was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and even jumped over a small pit that was a little distance away.

She became more and more excited, turning her run into a cool run.

Yin Yi and the others circled around Ye Zhizhi, originally walking and jumping beside her to match her speed, but seeing Ye Zhizhi running faster and faster, the cheerful little figure jumping around also infected them.

Wolf Yin Yi also started to run slowly, and soon ran ahead of Ye Zhizhi.

At the beginning, Yin Yi would look back from time to time to see if the wolf girl was catching up. When he saw that the wolf girl could catch up, they ran ahead and ran faster and faster.

Ye Zhizhi looked at the backs of the wolves in front of him, his little face full of excitement. He kicked his short legs faster and ran with his eyes fixed on the backs of the wolves.

She found that if she focused her attention on the wolves, she could run faster without realizing it and didn't have to worry about falling.

The wolves in front suddenly jumped into the air, jumped to the other side and landed steadily, and Ye Zhizhi behind also jumped.

Then, out of sheer joy, she paused in mid-air for a moment before falling.

Ye Zhizhi was dazed when she fell. She lay in a low pit between two high grounds, raised her head and looked around, as if she didn't understand how she crashed.

The wolves in front ran for a while, then realized something was wrong and looked back -

Where's my wolf sister?

They smelled the blood of the wolf girl and ran back quickly.

At this time, the Wolf King and Silver Wolf nearby ran over quickly, and the silver figures jumped into the pit with a whoosh.

When it jumped up again, there was a cub in the silver wolf's mouth.

The silver wolf put the cub down and looked at the cub, who had not yet come to his senses, with obvious concern in his eyes.

The wolf king walked closer and sniffed, wanting to see where she was injured.

Yin Yi and the others all gathered around, howling with concern.

They all smelled the blood on the cub.

The wolves could easily jump from the hill on this side to the high ground nearly two meters away on the opposite side, but Ye Zhizhi couldn't do it, so she fell down with a thud.

Ye Zhizhi looked at his hands and feet, and then he felt a burning pain.

Even wrapped in rabbit skin, it couldn't protect her from the damage. Her palms to her elbows were bruised and bleeding redly. Her knees were also scraped and had a faint bruise, with bright red blood flowing out.

“Ouch!”

Ye Zhizhi couldn't control himself and burst into tears under the concerned gazes of the wolves.

It hurts so much!

Finally, the silver wolf carried the crying injured cub back to its den.

Ye Zhizhi went out happily and came back crying.

She cried very sadly, not only because of the pain, but she was also afraid that she had broken a bone. There was no one in this place to help her treat it. What if the bone was dislocated and didn't heal well, wouldn't she be lame in the future?

Survival is already difficult, and if you become lame, you will be truly disabled.

Especially her right knee, which was the point of impact when she fell. It still hurts a lot now, and it hurts every time she moves.

Silver Little Gray, who was lying in the corner of the nest, heard the noise and rushed over without caring about waiting for Sister Wolf to come back and give her a hug and comfort.

Why is Sister Wolf injured? !

Silver Gray raised his head and cried anxiously.

Ye Zhizhi was very sad and didn't bother to respond to Yin Xiaohui. She was immersed in the terrible idea that she might become lame, and tears flowed down her face.

The silver wolf put the crying cub into its den and licked her wounds, with helplessness flashing in its eyes.

This cub will get hurt if it is not watched carefully. How can the company let the cub be independent?

Ye Zhizhi was in even greater pain. She cried with tears in her eyes, but she endured the pain to untie the fur on her hands and feet, otherwise she was afraid that the wolf mother would bite off the vines she had strung with so much difficulty.

Her wounds were completely exposed, her hands and knees were bloody, swollen, black and blue, and bleeding, looking very scary.

Ye Zhizhi saw that her knees were swollen and she cried even more sadly. Was she really going to become lame?

The whole cave was filled with the cub's sad howling, and the wolf king walked in with herbs in his mouth.

Ye Zhizhi saw the herbs in the wolf king's mouth with tears in her eyes. Thinking that it was so fast, it must have bitten the only blood-clotting grass that she had grown with great difficulty. She was also thinking about starting to research and make medicinal powder with good efficacy!

She became even sadder.

Ye Zhizhi lay in the nest with herbs covering his limbs. The bleeding stopped quickly and the burning pain began to ease.

Silver Gray lay beside him, whimpering and soothing softly.

Yin Yizhe was like a child who had done something wrong. He sat with his head hung down and looked at Ye Zhizhi apologetically from time to time.

It was wrong. It was too excited for a moment and forgot that the wolf sister was a cub that only had two legs to use. It failed to take care of the wolf sister's condition and let the wolf sister get injured.

Ye Zhizhi was still sobbing, and noticing the emotions of Brother Wolf, he choked up and made soothing sounds.

Yin Yi and Yin Xiaohui didn't know whether they were comforted or not. From time to time, they would stick out their tongues to lick Ye Zhizhi's tears.

That night, Ye Zhizhi fell asleep feeling uneasy, with tears hanging from the corners of her red and swollen eyes.

The next day, Ye Zhizhi had obvious bruises from the palms to the elbows and both knees. He originally thought that his left knee was just bumped and the skin was not even broken, but the bruise was more serious than that on the right knee.

A circle of bruises formed around the wound on my right knee. The broken skin had stopped bleeding, but it hadn't scabbed over yet, and it hurt even more than it had yesterday. These bruises, spread across the delicate skin, looked even more horrific.

The herb was obviously not suitable for her condition. It was very effective for cuts and scratches, and could stop bleeding and promote muscle growth. But she had fallen and was probably suffering from internal injuries, so it only stopped the bleeding, and the pain was still there.

As soon as Ye Zhizhi moved, she felt a sharp pain in her hands and feet...especially her right knee. It took a long time for the pain to go away.

Is she really going to become lame?

Ye Zhizhi was extremely panicked.

She couldn't help but howl again and fell on the wolf mother's belly. She didn't want to be a cripple!

It was already difficult to survive, and she finally stopped being a drag on the wolf pack. If she really became disabled, what would she do in the future?

The wolf mother didn't know why the cub was sad. She just thought that the cub was too fragile. It howled and acted like a spoiled child just because it was injured so little. If Yin Yi did this, she would have impatiently pawed him, but this was the cub who came back to her after she lost her own cub.

Yes, the wolf mother knew that she was not her original cub, but in the wolf's cognition, this was her cub who returned to her in a different appearance.

Because of this, the mother wolf was even more loving and patient with the cub.

The wolf mother sighed inwardly, unable to free herself from the delicate cub.

But this cannot go on. The day will come when they will leave the cubs, and the cubs still have to grow up. It seems that they have to start training her, but the cubs are too fragile, and Silver Wolf can't think of any solution for the time being.

The mother wolf lowered her head to lick her wounds, and occasionally licked her cub's head to comfort it.

Ye Zhizhi has been sad for several days. He has been thinking about how he will continue to live after becoming lame, and he doesn't know how serious his lameness will be.

Maybe it was just that the bones were dislocated and grew crooked, so she could only limp when walking. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to feel her bones, and she didn't know if she was broken. She didn't know how to treat it if she wanted to.

If it really grows crooked... she can just break the leg and grow it back.

It doesn’t matter, at most I just won’t be able to run fast.

Ye Zhizhi comforted herself that what makes humans different from other animals is that they have many advantages. Unlike other wild animals, she is not like other wild animals who cannot catch prey after having a lame leg and will soon starve to death or be targeted by other predators. She can still make traps to catch prey and raise and plant crops, which does not affect her ability to support herself.

She's just lame. She still has her hands and can still walk. It's better than having her hands and feet disabled, right?

Compared to this, being lame is acceptable.

Maybe she would be a drag on the wolf pack when she was hunted, but she could practice hard and she would try her best not to be a drag. At worst, it would be her life!

Ye Zhizhi had already prepared herself for limping, but slowly, the pain from her most serious knee injury eased. She tried to stand up and was actually able to limp a few steps!

Ye Zhizhi pressed the edge of the wound. The pain was only caused by the injury to the flesh. Now it didn't hurt much inside, so her bones should be fine.

She won't be lame!

Realizing this, Ye Zhizhi instantly stood up. She could do it again!

The True Young Master Passed the Civil Service Exam in the Underworld by Chen Za

One sentence introduction: Workers just want to reincarnate

Copywriter:

Fang Qi had no desires or requests in his life. His biggest dream was to die early and be reborn soon. When he was 20 years old, a car accident helped him realize half of his dream - to die early.

After his death, Fang Qi went to the reincarnation office in the underworld and waited in line to be reincarnated. However, the staff told him, "You are not allowed to reincarnate until your earthly ties are over. You can wait at the Naihe Bridge or work to earn your chance to be reincarnated."

Fang Qi, who has been single for twenty years: ...?

Not knowing what earthly fate was, he had no choice but to apply for a civil servant position in the underworld.

Later, while on a field trip, he met his soulmate—a sickly man with a pale face who looked like he would die at any moment.

When they met for the first time, the sickly girl fell on him without saying a word.

Fang Qi: ...

Later on, Bingyangzi always followed him when he went out on work.

One time, an evil ghost attacked him by surprise. The sickly boy cut off its head with a single blow. Then he suddenly closed his eyes and covered his eyes, saying, "Oh, how scary! I faint at the sight of blood."

Fang Qi:?

A death row ghost escaped, and the sickly man followed him and jumped from an eighteen-story building. Suddenly, he caught himself in the waist in mid-air and said, "Oh, I'm afraid of heights."

Fang Qi: ? ?

In the midst of a ghost chase, the sickly girl was savagely killing evil spirits one second, and then she put her arm around his shoulder like a boneless person the next second. "My legs are weak, I pledge my love to you. Will you take me home?"

Fang Qi looked at the man in front of him who was ten centimeters taller than him, and he could no longer bear it. He silently took out the soul-binding lock from his waist and said, "Will sending Chen Yuan to reincarnate in advance help him get rid of Chen Yuan?"
