Chapter 43 Ye Yunian's heartbeat accelerated
The night was as dark as ink, but the blizzard showed no sign of stopping.
In the second half of the night, the wind and snow became even stronger. The forest outside the tree cave was full of the howling sound of the wind, which made the branches rustle.
Even the temperature in the tree cave dropped a lot.
Sang Ren and Ju Zi slept all day today, but in the second half of the night, the two little ones could no longer sleep.
Ye Yunian was also not sleepy.
The blizzard was getting heavier and heavier, and most of the smell in the forest was covered.
So as early as the first half of the night, Ye Yunian no longer smelled the smell of the black wolf.
Did the black wolf leave, or was it because the snow all over the sky completely covered his smell?
Ye Yunian still had some concerns in his heart, so he was not sleepy.
Juzi slept very comfortably today. He finally did not rush all the time. In addition, he had eaten during the day, so he did not feel hungry.
Now that he had finally slept enough, he felt a little energetic. He simply played with the branches in this big tree hole.
For the young wolf cub, many things are new.
It's just that there have been too many changes during this period of time. Most of the time, Juzi followed Ye Yunian and his sister to rush seriously, so he has been suppressing his nature along the way.
But nature is not something that can be suppressed by repression.
Just like at this moment, Orange was unaware of the danger around him. Seeing that Ye Yunian and his sister were awake, he stood up happily, first holding a dead branch and chewing it, and then suddenly flew to the branch next to him.
He was too lively.
Mulberry looked at the branch that Orange was playing with, and was also a little curious.
She hesitated for a while, but still stood up, walked to Orange, squatted beside him, and pulled the not-so-long branch with her claws together.
Ye Yunian watched their every move and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Sure enough, they are still cubs.
When Ye Yunian thought so, he obviously forgot that he was only four months old at that time.
When a ray of light rose in the sky, the snowstorm that had been going on all night finally subsided.
Ye Yunian was the first to stick his head out and look outside.
He found that the snow on the ground was piled up to his stomach.
It was not suitable to hurry at this time.
Not to mention hurrying, even getting out of the tree hole to find prey was a difficult task.
Ye Yunian looked up at the sky.
Although the sky had brightened, the sun still showed no sign of showing up.
As long as the sun didn't come out, it meant that the snowstorm would continue.
It could be one or two days, or it could be several days.
The best time for Ye Yunian to forage for food was the period after the snow stopped.
And he also wanted to take this time to confirm whether the black wolf really left or continued to hide nearby.
Ye Yunian no longer hesitated, and was the first to stand up and jump out of the tree hole.
Seeing this, Sang Ren and Ju Zi also jumped out one after another.
The snow on the snow was really too thick.
As soon as Ye Yunian jumped down,
he smashed a hole in the fluffy snow. His fur was almost completely white, and it was a bit difficult to find him buried in the snow.
Sang Ren and Ju Zi jumped down and fell into the snow as well.
Ju Zi found it very novel and couldn't help but fumbling in the snow twice.
Ye Yunian was the first to come out of the snow pile, then shook his ears and shook off the snow residue on his body.
Ju Zi wanted to play more, but Sang Ren had already stood up and stopped him.
Juzi was afraid of completely angering her sister, so she could only stand up from the snow with a little regret, covered in snowflakes.
She followed the actions of Sang Ren and Ye Yunian and shook off the broken snow on her body.
Ye Yunian remembered the direction from which the black wolf's breath came yesterday, so he took Sang Ren and Juzi in the opposite direction without hesitation.
But they had only walked less than half a kilometer when Ye Yunian paused.
He smelled blood.
A very fresh smell that you could tell was delicious.
Ye Yunian remembered this smell.
At that time, he had just arrived in the wild not long ago. Because he was picky about food and did not eat bamboo rats, Song Yi took him to intercept a prey of the jackal pack that night, which was a deer.
There was no mistake.
The smell of blood was the smell of a deer.
Ye Yunian looked up and quickly confirmed the direction of the smell - it was the direction from which the black wolf came.
He was indeed a very good wolf. In such bad weather, he could hunt a deer by himself as a lone wolf.
But because of this, Ye Yunian did not dare to approach with Sang Ren and Ju Zi easily.
After all, no predator is willing to share food with strangers.
Ye Yunian retracted his gaze, snorted twice, and signaled Sang Ren and Ju Zi to walk faster.
The two little ones naturally smelled the bloody smell.
Ju Zi was even almost drooling, but he also knew that the more food there was, the more powerful predators there would be.
If Ye Yunian and the other three were already adult wolves, they could indeed go over and try to snatch food from the wolf's mouth, but now they are still too weak.
The three little ones walked faster and faster, and their breath naturally drifted away.
The black wolf raised his head, sniffing the air, with a confused look in his eyes.
Are they coming over?
The little white wolf looked skinny and small, and there were two little followers beside him, neither of them were very fat cubs.
This showed that they had a hard time on the way, and even had few meals.
Then they should be eager for food.
Why didn't they come over even though he had dragged the venison out of the snow and even tore a big hole in it to let the smell of blood escape?
Could it be that they sensed that he was nearby, so they didn't dare to get close?
Black Wolf couldn't figure it out, and retracted his gaze to the half-eaten venison not far away.
The meat of this sika deer was very plump. After the successful hunt last night, Black Wolf couldn't wait to eat more than ten pounds of it.
But a wolf's stomach is limited.
Even if Black Wolf wanted to eat all the venison, he couldn't do it.
In order not to attract other predators, Black Wolf dragged the sika deer meat to a dry snowfield, dug a big hole and buried the venison.
In fact, Black Wolf wanted to drag most of the meat to find Little White Wolf last night.
Unfortunately, the snowstorm last night was too strong. Even the black wolf could not withstand the snowstorm by himself, so he could only find a cave to avoid the cold.
When the sky gradually brightened, the black wolf opened his eyes after smelling the little white wolf again.
Without hesitation, he came to the place where he buried the venison and dug out all the venison.
After a night, the remaining meat had been frozen into ice chips.
But as long as this piece of meat was torn open, the bloody smell would be carried far away by the cold wind. Although
the little white wolf looked weak, he was a very smart wolf.
The black wolf was sure that he could detect the source of the food smell.
Perhaps it was because of this intelligence that he did not dare to approach casually.
So what should we do now?
After finally finding the little white wolf, the black wolf did not intend to return empty-handed.
But now the little white wolf obviously doesn't trust him, and the black wolf can't get close to it casually. He is worried that he will scare the little white wolf.
Although the black wolf doesn't know why he has this idea, he always feels that a similar situation seems to have happened before.
It's just that he shouldn't know this little white wolf before, right?
The black wolf thought about it for a while, but didn't quite understand the problem, so he simply stopped worrying about it.
The most important thing now is to find a way to feed the little white wolf.
He looks very hungry.
Just as the black wolf thought, Ye Yunian was really hungry at this moment.
Since the incident with his wolf pack, Ye Yunian has hardly had a full meal.
If it weren't for such bad weather, Ye Yunian would have been able to hunt some food.
Unfortunately, the weather has become increasingly bad during this period, and the human settlement that Ye Yunian wants to find is still far away from here.
Ye Yunian's current situation is indeed full of difficulties, but it is rare that Ye Yunian does not find it difficult.
After all, as long as he survives, Ye Yunian may meet Song Yi one day in the future.
When he thought of this, Ye Yunian felt full of energy.
"Gululu——"
Unfortunately, there is only spiritual energy for the time being.
Feeling a little tired from walking, Ye Yunian lowered his head and licked two mouthfuls of snow.
The snowflakes quickly melted in his mouth, giving him a chill.
Well, now I have to cheer up and continue looking for food... Hmm?
Ye Yunian suddenly looked forward vigilantly.
Seeing this, although Sang Ren and Ju Zi did not notice anything unusual, they still stopped and looked around vigilantly.
Ye Yunian stared at the woods more than fifty meters away, and sniffed the smell in the air.
The smell was very faint, probably because the other party deliberately concealed the breath, and because of the heavy snow, the breath was even more difficult to detect.
But Ye Yunian is not an inexperienced cub. He has more than ten years of experience in surviving in the wild and has long learned to distinguish all smells in the air.
This time is no exception.
After a moment, Ye Yunian confirmed the identity of the other party.
It was a lynx, and it should have been an adult.
Ye Yunian stared carefully at the woods in front of him, and after a moment, he finally found its figure on a branch.
The lynx's fur is dark brown, with black stripes distributed regularly on its limbs.
Because of their fur color, they can hide well in the trees.
If you don't look carefully, you can't detect its existence at all.
At this time, the adult lynx was lying motionless on the branch, staring at Ye Yunian and the others with its vertical pupils.
No predator will stay still and wait in one place.
So it is not here to prey on Ye Yunian and the others, but to kill them.
Lynx is not a match for wolf packs, and they will not choose to attack wolf packs rashly if they live alone.
But lone wolves and cubs have always been the targets of lynxes.
After all, they are both predators, and some of the food in the wolf pack's food chain coincides with that of the lynx, and lynx cubs often die because of the wolf pack.
No lynx will miss the opportunity to kill the wolf pack's cubs.
Moreover, the lynx did not detect the presence of other adult wolves, which means that the three cubs are isolated and helpless.
As long as they get close enough, the lynx can kill them with one blow.
Noticing that Ye Yunian and the others stopped moving, the lynx did not move. It lay patiently on the branch, quietly waiting for them to approach.
You're kidding.
They've already discovered you, and you're still approaching at this time. Isn't that looking for death?
But they are a little too close now.
Lynx is small and has great explosive power.
So Ye Yunian can't be too anxious.
He first retracted his gaze and called softly to Sang Ren and Ju Zi.
The two cubs obviously also realized what happened, so they listened to the command at this time.
Ye Yunian did not turn around and run with them, but took Sang Ren and Ju Zi to move slowly diagonally forward.
At the same time, Ye Yunian was also keeping a close eye on the lynx's movements.
Once it was ready to attack, Ye Yunian would speed up with Sang Ren and Tangerine.
Although it was said to be diagonally forward, in fact, Ye Yunian basically just turned a corner with Sang Ren and Tangerine.
As they walked farther and farther, the lynx finally realized that something was wrong.
It didn't know when Ye Yunian and the others had discovered it, but it was obviously not going to let them go.
In a flash, Ye Yunian was the first to issue a warning, and the three wolf cubs ran at the same time, quickly running towards the woods ahead.
The lynx quickly came down from the tree and chased after them directly.
In fact, sometimes Ye Yunian really missed the time when he was a human being.
After all, when a person is being chased on the street, he can still call the police and shout for help.
But as a wild animal, he can't!
Not only can he not, why is there a wolf blocking the way every time he is in trouble!
Looking at the black wolf that jumped out from nowhere, Ye Yunian's hair was about to stand up.
Why are you here too!
Haven't they walked so far? !
Sang Ren and Ju Zi were even more scared.
For a moment, they didn't even know whether they should continue running.
It was only when Ye Yunian howled and took them around another corner that they stumbled and ran.
A cold wind blew in the forest again, wrapped in cold snowflakes, blowing Ye Yunian's eyes so hard that he could hardly open them.
At this moment, Ye Yunian suddenly heard the roar of fighting coming from behind.
Ye Yunian sniffed the air and found that the black wolf did not chase him, and neither did the lynx.
Then this fighting sound -
Ye Yunian stopped first.
Sang Ren and Ju Zi followed the brakes.
Ju Zi was not very skilled in braking, and he buried his face in the snow, commonly known as face braking.
Ye Yunian did not have time to see what happened to Ju Zi at this time, he looked back with some confusion.
Through the gaps between the branches of different heights, Ye Yunian saw the fighting posture of the black wolf and the lynx.
The black wolf was very strong, and he pressed the lynx under him with a flying leap.
The lynx felt the pain and quickly stood up to fight back, but the black wolf had already lowered its head and bit its throat hard.
The lynx was startled and jumped violently, but even so, the black wolf's sharp teeth still scratched its skin.
The blood fell on the white snow, which was very conspicuous.
The lynx did not dare to fight anymore, it turned around and ran towards the distant woods.
It was not until its figure completely disappeared that the black wolf turned back, panting.
Although they were clearly nearly a hundred meters apart, Ye Yunian could still see his eyes clearly at this time.
Those were a pair of very beautiful golden eyes, embedded in his pure black hair, which looked very beautiful.
The only thing that was a bit abrupt was probably the small tuft of white hair under his right eye.
Without this tuft of white hair, he would look better.
The black wolf was the first to retract his gaze.
He turned around and walked towards the nearby forest.
Soon, his back disappeared.
Only then did Ye Yunian realize that he seemed to have been staring at the black wolf for a long time.
It was also at this time that Ye Yunian began to think about why the black wolf appeared here?
Could it be that he discovered from afar that there were lynxes in his new territory, so he rushed over thousands of miles to drive the lynx away?
But if this was the new territory recognized by the black wolf, why didn't he drive himself and Sang Ren Juzi away?
Could it be that like last time, he felt that the three of them were not a threat?
This might be a plausible reason.
But because of this, Ye Yunian was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the black wolf has no intention of killing them all, do they not need to leave this territory in a hurry?
Since they are not in a hurry to leave, they should find a way to fill their stomachs as soon as possible.
A fight just happened nearby, and the lynx left a strong smell of blood.
The creatures around have all run away, and they will not come back for a while.
Ye Yunian can only continue to move forward with mulberries and oranges.
But finding food is not that easy. The wind and snow that just stopped not long ago are falling again.
Today's foraging journey is full of twists and turns!
Just when Ye Yunian was thinking about whether to take Sangren and Juzi to continue looking for food or find a tree hole to avoid the wind and snow, he heard a rustling sound in the forest.
The attention of the three little ones was attracted.
A familiar black figure appeared and ran towards them quickly.
Sangren and Juzi were startled and crawled on the ground. Their hair stood up and they let out a threatening roar.
Ye Yunian was also startled, but his observation ability was better than Sangren and Juzi. He soon found that the black wolf had no intention of attacking them because it was tracking a snow rabbit.
The snow rabbit fled in the woods in a panic, and the next second, the black wolf had already bitten its throat.
The snow rabbit, which weighed only a few pounds, was killed by the black wolf's light bite.
Ye Yunian was stunned.
Is it so easy?
It was solved in one bite?
Then what about his last hunting of snow rabbits?
Does he know how to endure hardships?
Ye Yunian looked at the tall and sturdy body of the black wolf with envy.
When will I grow up!
Woo woo woo.
Ye Yunian hummed twice.
A little dissatisfied.
Ever since Ina disappeared, Ye Yunian has put away his coquettish and complaining temper.
In the past few days, he has never shown any weakness in front of Sang Ren and Ju Zi.
Because Ye Yunian knows that he is the only one who can live with Sang Ren and Ju Zi.
If he can't be strong, they will all have a hard time.
But today Ye Yunian is really a little bit broken.
Why is the gap between wolves so big!
Why can't he grow up in a second?
If he is already an adult wolf now, would he be afraid of the lynx just now?
Song Yi taught Ye Yunian so many hunting skills in his previous life, and Ye Yunian must have taken care of all of them on the lynx, beating it up and making it howl.
It still wants to kill me, what right does it have!
And there is this stinky black wolf.
Isn't it just catching a snow rabbit? Do you
think he can't catch it?
Can't you hunt in other places?
He has to make trouble in front of other wolves to eat!
Too much!
So why can't God open his eyes and give him a piece of meat from the sky...
Hey?
Ye Yunian raised his head and looked at the back of the black wolf in a daze.
Then he quickly lowered his head to meet Sang Ren's eyes.
Did the black wolf just throw something at them suddenly?
Sang Ren was also a little confused at this time.
The black eyes were full of doubts and confusion.
Only Ju Zi couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a small "wow".
Ye Yunian and Sang Ren understood what he said.
Meat.
Just now, Black Wolf peeled the skin of the snow rabbit he hunted, and then he seemed to lower his head and took a bite. Suddenly, he swung the meat in his mouth, and saw the meat flying in their direction.
Black Wolf swung it a little hard, so the big piece of meat flew a little far.
At this time, it was only a dozen meters away from Ye Yunian and the others.
Ye Yunian swallowed his saliva.
Sang Ren swallowed his saliva.
Ju Zi's saliva had been flowing wildly.
He excitedly swung his big tail, and he kept humming in his mouth.
Reminding Ye Yunian and his sister that there was meat there, very fresh and delicious snow rabbit meat!
Are they really not going to eat it?
Ye Yunian's mouth opened slightly in surprise.
This... what's going on?
Why did the black wolf suddenly throw away the meat in his mouth?
Was he full?
No, he just took a bite.
Then...
could it be that he thought the snow rabbit meat was not delicious?
If it was not delicious, why did you catch the snow rabbit?
And why did he throw it at them?
Well, now God really opened his eyes and meat fell from the sky.
Then the question came.
Eat it?
Wolves are suspicious by nature, and wolves have super intelligence.
What if this black wolf is a black-hearted person, and he deliberately used this snow rabbit meat to fish and enforce the law...
But Ye Yunian thought about it, but he still couldn't figure out what was worth the black wolf's attention in him, Sang Ren and Ju Zi.
Do they have the strength?
Three cubs, the oldest is four months old, and the youngest is almost three months old.
Even Ju Zi can't hunt yet!
Is he looking for a wife?
Ye Yunian set his eyes on Sang Ren, the only female wolf among them.
Crazy, right?
Is child bride popular among wolves? !
How is it possible?
After excluding all possibilities, the only one left is the correct answer -
Black Wolf doesn't like to eat snow rabbit meat.
This answer simply made Ye Yunian's heart beat faster.
Just say you don't like it!
Sang Ren and Ju Zi next to them couldn't wait.
At Ye Yunian's command, the three cubs ran towards the snow rabbit meat with a cheerful pace.
The snow rabbit hunted by Black Wolf was very fat, almost five pounds, and there were still three pounds of meat left after removing the skin.
I don't know where he found such a fat snow rabbit.
The temperature in the forest was low, and while the meat was not completely frozen, Ye Yunian skillfully divided the meat into three parts.
The three wolf cubs huddled together and finally had a bite of hot and fresh meat.
The black wolf did not completely leave the forest. He stood about a hundred meters away and carefully observed the situation of the little white wolf.
The little white wolf must be really hungry. He just groaned in grievance.
The black wolf found that he could not bear to hear him cry so aggrievedly. Originally, after he peeled the snow rabbit meat, he was ready to cut it into small pieces for the little white wolf.
But after hearing the little white wolf's aggrieved cry, he threw the whole piece of meat out without thinking and quickly left the place.
The black wolf remembered that the little white wolf was afraid of him, so he did not dare to stay there.
Hunger will make wolves lower their vigilance. The little white wolf must be very hungry, so he did not realize that the black wolf did not go far away.
From a distance, watching the little white wolf tear open the prey skillfully and eat it with relish, the black wolf, who had been worried for a day, finally put his mind at ease.
Sure enough, it was right not to bring the frozen venison.
His teeth now can't tear open the frozen meat at all.
What should I feed the little white wolf next time?
Although snow rabbit meat is okay, its nutrition is far inferior to venison.
Then let's catch sika deer.
Black Wolf made a happy decision.
