108 Wilderness Survival
◎I always feel like something is about to come out.◎
“Ahhhhh!!!”
In the early morning forest, fog rolled in, cold dew fell heavily, and it was quiet and dark, but suddenly a childish and earth-shaking cry was heard, startling the early birds in the forest and sending them flying far away.
Ye Zhizhi slept soundly in Yin Yi's arms, but she was no longer beautiful when she woke up.
She was awakened by severe pain.
At this time, her right cheek was swollen, the skin was tight and red, like a blown-up balloon, forming a sharp contrast with her left cheek.
Especially the red and swollen area, which was not only incredibly hot, but also accompanied by waves of burning pain, which made her nerves twitch with pain.
Ye Zhizhi had a toothache, and it was not just a mild pain. The pain was fierce, each time more intense than the last, as if hundreds of tiny bugs were drilling deep into her gums, making her unable to help but roll around on Yin Yi, crying loudly.
Yin Yi's eyes were filled with anxious concern. He didn't know what had happened to the wolf girl. After all, wolves have strong, sharp teeth, and since they don't like sweets, they rarely complain of toothaches. Seeing the wolf girl's cheeks swollen and red, he lowered his head and licked them.
Ye Zhizhi howled even louder.
It hurts so much!
She never thought that one day she would have a toothache.
Ye Zhizhi has lived through six winters and only recently started eating sugar, and honey at that.
Although she eats it quite frequently, three times a day, and even soaks it in honey water to drink when she is thirsty, she hasn't eaten sugar for so many years. Can't she make up for it?
As it turns out, it just doesn't work.
Ye Zhizhi's unrestrained consumption of sweets over the past few days finally paid off.
She howled until she had no strength left and lay listlessly on the ground, motionless.
Yin Yi licked Ye Zhizhi's other cheek and the corner of her forehead, licking away her sweat and tears. Seeing her like this, he let out a low, comforting hum from his throat, and then left the cave.
Ye Zhizhi collapsed on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.
This is retribution for causing trouble to so many beehives, woo woo...
Ye Zhizhi felt that her right face was stiff with pain. Was she going to have facial paralysis?
Fortunately, Yin Yi arrived very quickly, holding a cluster of dark green plants with slender leaves in its mouth.
Ye Zhizhi had never seen it before, but she thought it was also a medicinal herb. Yin Yi would never bring back useless things.
The silver wolf was placed directly on her mouth. Ye Zhizhi immediately knew that it was edible. She tore off a few leaves and put them in her mouth, chewing them despite the severe pain. An indescribable taste spread directly from the taste buds on the tip of her tongue, and her whole face wrinkled.
But not long after, the pain that even caused her head to ache seemed to ease a little.
Yin Yi gently pushed the back of her head, and Ye Zhizhi knew that she couldn't swallow it, so she got up, spit it out in the corner, and covered it with mud.
The taste in his mouth dissipated a little, and pain came over him. Ye Zhizhi continued to pull the leaves and chew them.
Yin Yi seemed to have no idea how to cure tooth decay, and the herbs he found could only slightly relieve the pain but didn't make her feel any better.
Ye Zhizhi herself didn't know. She remembered that salt water also had anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, so she boiled some water with fruit shell salt, let it cool, and held it in her mouth.
She had been holding salt water in her mouth, which made her already swollen cheeks even more swollen. When she saw the full mouth of honey, she felt that the smell was not sweet at all.
Ye Zhizhi swore in her heart that she would never eat honey again!
Because of this incident, Yin did not leave the cave for two days and stayed with Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi no longer went out to play, mainly because she couldn't do it. Although it didn't hurt as much as at the beginning, it was still very serious. Her right cheek, which was swollen like a bun, had not gone down yet, and her teeth hurt so much that she had no appetite to eat.
The big bear outside waited for a long time for its best friend, the little wolf cub, to come and join it, so it ran to wander outside the wolf's temporary territory.
The big bear really wanted to go to the cave to find the little wolf cub, but there was a very strong aura nearby, which came from the wolf cub's same species.
The big bear was very afraid of the silver wolf. Predators also seek benefits and avoid harm. Generally speaking, they will not easily provoke predators of the same level with similar strength.
It enters the wolf's territory without permission, which can easily be seen as a provocation, leading to a fight.
The big bear didn't want to fight, he just wanted to find his honey friends to go find honey together.
Then the big bear roared softly outside—
Little wolf cub, little wolf cub, come out!
After a long time without receiving a response, the big bear's howling became louder and louder.
Yin Yi and Ye Zhizhi in the cave: "..."
Ye Zhizhi met Yin Yi's gaze with her big watery eyes and an innocent look on her face.
“Ahhh~”
Ye Zhizhi naturally recognized the voice of the big bear calling her. She even learned the language of snakes, and she quickly understood the roar that was slightly similar to the howl of a wolf. At least she could communicate smoothly with the big bear.
But her toothache hadn't healed yet, and she didn't want to deal with that damn wasp's nest.
And she didn't want to walk...
Why hadn't Xiaohua come to see her this year? Could something have happened? Given Xiaohua's attitude when they parted last year, she'd definitely come to see her when the weather warmed up.
But she and the wolf pack had been out for so long, and spring was about to pass, but Xiaohua was still nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that it took longer because she left the wolf's territory early and went in another direction?
Ye Zhizhi thought for a moment, and thought that if Xiaohua didn't come to see her in a few days, she would go to Xiaohua's nest to look for the snake.
Then she focused her attention on what was in front of her. Ye Zhizhi looked at the cave full of honey. These were all her harvest.
Ye Zhizhi, who had decided not to eat honey anymore, picked up the largest fruit shell filled with honey, climbed onto Yin Yi's back, and let it take him out.
Yin flicked his tail, then walked out of the cave, following the increasingly loud roar, and appeared in front of the big bear.
The big bear was very happy to see the little wolf cub, and then he saw the powerful silver wolf. The happy roar he just made was stuck in his throat and his face fell.
It only wants to summon the little wolf cubs and doesn't want to see the big wolf.
When Yin saw the changes in the brown bear, he turned his eyes away with disdain, as if it was willing to see the bear.
Ye Zhizhi didn't notice the quarrel between Yin Yi and Da Xiong. She slid off Yin Yi's back, jumped steadily to the ground, then approached Da Xiong with the fruit shell in her hand, "Ah~" This is for you.
Ye Zhizhi asked the big bear to squat down, and stood on tiptoe to stuff the fruit shell into its drooping paws.
Then she pointed at her mouth and face to the big bear. She had a toothache and could no longer eat honey. She also couldn't go looking for honey with it for a while. Whenever she felt craving honey, she could come to her. She had plenty of honey.
The big bear held the small fruit shell in his paw, looked at the sweet-smelling honey, and then looked at the little wolf cub.
It understood the wolf cub's actions and saw her swollen cheeks.
The big bear stuffed the fruit shell back to Ye Zhizhi, then stood up, and quickly walked into the jungle with his huge body, and soon disappeared in front of Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi: “?”
How could the bear actually resist the temptation of honey? Why did it suddenly leave? Ye Zhizhi was puzzled, but the throbbing pain in her gums made it impossible for her to think further.
Ye Zhizhi carried the fruit shell back to Yin Yi and climbed up again.
Yin Yi carried her back to the cave.
For the next two days, Daxiong did not show up. Ye Zhizhi's pain eased a lot, and the swelling on her right cheek also subsided a little. She was already thinking about which direction to go next.
She and the wolf pack had been running in this direction for more than half a month. They had temporarily settled here, but they didn't just stay here and do nothing. Even when they were chased by a swarm of bees all day long, they weren't just running.
At least she has a thorough understanding of the mountains and forests within a radius of a hundred miles.
She would also run to the highest point in all directions to observe the terrain movements in all directions.
This forest was not home to many dangerous predators or plant killers, and was a rare peaceful place. Of course, this meant that the predators and plant killers in this forest were no match for the wolves and posed no threat to them.
The only threat is Big Bear's brown bear.
But she went to the big bear's territory and saw that it was a solitary bear with a sweet tooth. It was so fond of sweets that it could lower itself to cooperate with her, the little wolf cub, for food.
In terms of individual combat power, if a real fight breaks out, Big Bear is no worse than Yin Yi, but wolves usually move in groups, and Big Bear smelled the scent of more than one wolf in this area.
Therefore, he who knows the times is a hero. The big bear happened to be on good terms with the little wolf cub and successfully avoided conflict with the wolf pack.
Of course, in Ye Zhizhi's eyes, this bear is stupid and silly, and can be said to be very naive. He is a little brother who needs to be protected.
The topic had gone off track, and Ye Zhizhi returned to the present. She memorized the terrain and could estimate where she would reach in different directions.
With the cave as the center, this direction was the direction of the wolf pack's territory. This was Big Bear's territory, and beyond the bear's territory was still a mountain forest. Big Bear had taken her to many beehives, but he would also deliberately avoid some places, indicating that there were creatures in those directions that Big Bear was very afraid of.
And this is the Gobi Desert...
Ye Zhizhi squatted on the ground and used a branch to draw a winding route on the ground. She drew all the places she had been to before stopping.
The tip of her tree branch stopped in the direction of the flower's nest, her eyes fixed on the crooked lines on the ground, as if something was about to come out.
But she couldn't think of it for a moment. Over the years, she had actually been to many places, but compared to this jungle, it was still just a corner. What she saw was like a frog in a well.
Yin Yi lay on the ground, looking at Ye Zhizhi quietly.
