10 Wilderness Survival
◎How can a leak be more important than your life?◎
When the silver wolf returned to the vicinity of the territory, it heard the call of the remaining wolves and was the first to leave the hunting team and return to the lair. Its figure was as fast as lightning and it appeared in front of Ye Zhizhi in an instant. Sensing the cub's anxious howling, it immediately lay down beside the cub.
Ye Zhizhi found the grain bag incredibly quickly and devoured it like a wolf.
Gurgle, gurgle gurgle.
The wolf cub and the two old wolves gathered in a circle and watched the cubs drinking milk. They made expressions similar to those of satisfaction and wagged their tails happily.
They were worried about the fragile cub, thinking that another one was almost going to die, but luckily it survived.
The shriveled belly slowly expanded. Now that Ye Zhizhi had food in her stomach, her brain, which had been occupied by hunger, regained some rationality. She only ate half of her usual amount of milk and stopped eating. On the one hand, her appetite had decreased after not eating for a few days, and on the other hand, sudden overeating seemed to be worse for her stomach. So after recovering from the pain, Ye Zhizhi tried hard to control her food intake.
She finally came back to life!
Ye Zhizhi clung to the wolf mother, howling weakly and aggrieved.
She was hungry for three days and two nights and almost died.
The mother wolf licked her cub with an apologetic look in her eyes, as if she had not expected the cub to be so hungry.
It was also the first time that the wolf mother had been separated from her cubs for such a long time. She treated the cubs as wolf cubs, and wolf cubs were only completely dependent on their mother for the first one or two months after they were born. Unexpectedly, this cub was even more fragile than a newborn cub.
Fortunately, this time the wolves encountered their prey group after running away from their den for a day and a night, otherwise they would have gone further and would not have been able to return.
If it had been a day or two later, Ye Zhizhi might have starved to death.
This means that the mother wolf can no longer leave the den to hunt for a long time.
Silver Wolf realized this and made a choice immediately.
This is not good news for the wolves.
The wolf pack consists of half strong adult wolves who participate in hunting and half old and young wolves who need to be taken care of.
Therefore, the wolf pack is under great pressure to support its family. The silver wolf is tied down by its cubs and will play a smaller role in subsequent hunting activities, which will increase the pressure of hunting.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know this. She talked to the wolf mother for a while, emphasizing that the wolf mother should try not to go hunting for so long next time, and should remember to come back to feed the cubs after being out for a day or two.
Three days and two nights was her limit.
Ye Zhizhi whimpered a few times, his eyelids felt heavy, his brain felt sleepy, and he fell asleep all of a sudden.
The silver wolf circled the emaciated cub, felt her steady breathing, and licked her head again.
The old wolf drove the other cubs away without disturbing them to rest. Yin Yi was originally clinging to the silver wolf and staring at his sister, but when he heard the noise outside, he couldn't help but run down to meet the wolf pack with the other cubs.
The wolf hunting team returned, bringing back a lot of prey, enough for the old and young wolves to have a full meal and store some food, so they were busy.
The old and young wolves were busy eating the prey dragged back by the pack, while the adult wolves hid the remaining prey.
The Wolf King walked towards the boulder nest, but before he reached the boulder, the silver wolf noticed it and gave him a sharp look. The Wolf King's body stiffened and he turned and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Scar grinned when he noticed this scene and was about to laugh, but suddenly he remembered the beating he had received and stopped instantly, making his expression look weird.
The wolf king narrowed his eyes and gave Scar a claw as he passed by him.
Scar, who was inexplicably clawed, grimaced. He didn't laugh out loud this time. Why did he hit him again?
The wolf king returned to his temporary den, his huge body emitting an unexpected aura.
Originally, the huge rock nest was the nest of him and his wife. Since his wife became pregnant and gave birth to cubs, he was separated from his nest and temporarily lived on another mud and rock slope. Now the cubs have grown up, but he still can't go back. It's all the fault of that little cub.
Ye Zhizhi was unaware of the wolf king's depression. She hugged the wolf mother and fell asleep peacefully. Before she even opened her eyes, she groped for food to eat, and fell asleep again while eating.
Sleep is the best way to restore the body's functions. Ye Zhizhi was starving, and her organs were damaged, so her instinct urged her to sleep more to recover. Therefore, Ye Zhizhi was basically asleep all the time. When she woke up briefly and found Wolf Mother still there, she didn't think much about it and just ate a big meal, then went back to sleep. Sometimes she subconsciously looked for food before she was even awake, as if she had just woken up more than two months ago.
After three days, Ye Zhizhi finally woke up completely, and the strength in his hands and feet returned a little. He felt that he was alive again.
Ye Zhizhi only then realized that the wolf mother was still in the den. When she woke up, it was already late. She thought to herself that the wolf pack usually went out hunting before dawn, so why hadn't they set out so late this time?
Is it true that winter is not as long as the rainy season, so there is no need to store more food?
At this time, Ye Zhizhi had not yet realized that the main group of wolves had already left.
When Yin saw that the wolf girl had recovered her spirits, he nudged her with his head, then lay in front of her, turned his head to look at her, and wagged his tail.
It was obvious that he was still thinking about the baby-carrying activity a few days ago and was still not satisfied with it.
Ye Zhizhi also liked it very much. She was tired of staying in the nest all day long, so she excitedly climbed onto Wolf Brother's back and lay down steadily.
Brother Wolf stood up easily. I wonder if it was because Ye Zhizhi was no longer as strong as she used to be. She had lost all the fat she had gained during the rainy season. Of course, it was also possible that Brother Wolf had become stronger.
"Aoaowu——" Ye Zhizhi did not forget to say hello to the wolf mother, "I'm going to play with wolf brother!"
The silver wolf lay in the den and swung its tail in response. It liked to see the cubs being lively, which meant that the cubs were healthier and less likely to die.
Yin Yi carried his sister on his back and walked down again. The three cubs that were struggling on the flat ground ran over, rubbing against each other, howling and circling around Ye Zhizhi.
Yin Yi responded with a humming voice, his tone high and his head held high, carrying Ye Zhizhi on his back as he walked with great pride.
Erzhong chased after him with his tail wagging. Sanbai glanced at his younger brother Xiaobai, looked away as if in disgust, and quickly followed Yinyi.
Ye Zhizhi understood the meaning from their calls, which was probably -
Sanzai: I want to carry my sister on my back too. I want to carry my sister on my back too.
Yin Yi: This is my sister. You can carry your own brothers and sisters.
Erzong: I don’t have any! Let me play too!
Sanbai: I dislike it. This unique little sister is more interesting.
Xiaobai: Awooo?
Ye Zhizhi rode on Wolf Brother and was surrounded by the cubs as they walked around in the cave. She looked around and found that the cave was quiet and the wolves were not there!
They went hunting?! The mother wolf didn't go! Did the mother wolf realize that her cub couldn't leave her?
Ye Zhizhi was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. "Wolf Mom is so kind!" Wait! If Wolf Mom doesn't go hunting, will there be enough food in the winter? Ye Zhizhi didn't want Wolf Mom to go hungry because of her. She understood the feeling of hunger best and didn't want Wolf Mom to suffer like that.
Ye Zhizhi signaled Brother Wolf to go into the small cave where food was stored. She saw two large prey and many small prey. She didn't know the specific food intake of the wolf pack, but based on the calculation that a wolf ate 20 kilograms of meat, it could eat six or seven meals.
Ye Zhizhi felt relieved now, as long as he had food, he wouldn't have to worry.
Ye Zhizhi spent the day on the cubs' backs, and she explored every corner of the cave.
After hearing the old wolf's warning, the cubs probably realized that going out would be bad for their weak sister, so they didn't insist on carrying her out of the nest to learn and play.
Ye Zhizhi was not really ignorant. She knew that the weather outside was not good for her, but she did not insist on going out.
How could a breath of fresh air be more important than your life? Not to mention the temperature is even lower today than before.
The next day, the silver wolf disappeared early in the morning. Apparently, after seeing that its cub had fully recovered, it ran out to hunt.
Ye Zhizhi was no longer worried that the wolf mother would forget her cubs. She knew that the wolf mother would be back soon.
Ye Zhizhi still spent the day on the backs of the cubs. A group of wolf cubs took turns carrying her to continue exploring the cave.
Yin Yi and the others are obviously still enjoying this game.
They played until noon, and Yin Yi carried Ye Zhizhi back to the nest. She held Yin Yi in her arms and had a good sleep. Not long after waking up, she saw the silver wolf appear in the cave. It actually came back early!
Ye Zhizhi called out excitedly.
The silver wolf went out today and hunted a silly roe deer. This roe deer became a snack for the cubs. The four cubs surrounded the silver wolf and howled. It put the roe deer in a concave channel on the side of the cave entrance. This channel is far away from their den and close to the cave entrance. The air circulates and the smell will be dispersed quickly. The wolves always eat here when they are in the cave.
The silver wolf tore off a piece of leg meat, retreated, and the cubs rushed forward to bite the prey.
At this time, Ye Zhizhi had not yet realized what she was going to face. After knowing that Silver Wolf had returned, she kept calling for her grandma, and when she saw Silver Wolf coming towards her, she gave a soft, toothless smile.
Even when he saw the silver wolf holding a piece of raw meat in its mouth, he was only puzzled for a moment, and then he howled and called out.
The silver wolf did not leave and immediately return to its den to herd its cubs. Instead, it lay on the edge of the dry grass den and used its claws and fangs to tear a piece of raw meat weighing one or two pounds into thin strips.
Ye Zhizhi was thinking about feeding, but she was more curious about what the silver wolf was doing. She slid over and lay on the silver wolf's forelimbs to watch.
Ye Zhizhi had never seen the wolves eat. They did not eat near their den, but in a place in the cave far away from the den. When Ye Zhizhi entered one of the several-meter-long recesses and smelled the strong smell of blood and rotten meat, he knew that was where the wolves ate.
So what is Wolf Mom doing? Is she making some jerky for Wolf Brother? But it's almost winter now, can she still dry it in the sun? Or is she making some air-dried meat?
The silver wolf tore the meat into pieces, leaving a small bloody pile, and then pulled the cub next to it over.
Ye Zhizhi only felt a drifting sensation, and her whole body was lying between the two claws of the silver wolf, with a pile of red raw meat strips right in front of her.
“??!!!”
Ye Zhizhi realized something and her eyes suddenly widened.
Is this for her to eat?!
So this is because they know she has no teeth, so they tear it into small pieces for her to eat!
Ye Zhizhi was very moved, and then he crawled away like a cricket pupa.
She doesn't want to eat raw meat!
