109 Wilderness Survival
◎Yinyi glanced at Big Bear.◎
Ye Zhizhi stood up and pushed the ground with her short legs. The route she drew was directly covered by the soft soil.
She lay on Yinyi and let out a muffled cry. Her teeth hurt so much that she didn't want to open her mouth.
Yin turned his head and licked the wolf girl who was acting coquettishly towards him, carefully avoiding her red and swollen cheeks. He still remembered that when he licked her red and swollen face, the wolf girl howled in pain.
Not long after that, Ye Zhizhi heard the big bear's roar again.
The big bear came to see her again. Ye Zhizhi thought of the last time it left without any reason and didn't even want the honey. Then she moved her small body and lay directly on its back, howling at Yin Yi.
What else could Yin Yi do? He could only stand up and carry Ye Zhizhi out again.
The big bear that came to see her this time was different from before. There was a cluster of plants in its claws.
When the big bear saw Ye Zhizhi, he roared even louder and called Ye Zhizhi to come over.
Ye Zhizhi slid off Yin Yi's back and ran quickly towards the big bear.
Yinyi and Daxiong are both adult predators. They are powerful, but they have not established a foundation of trust. They cannot get too close to each other, otherwise it will easily trigger their attack instincts.
Ye Zhizhi stood in front of the big bear and looked up at it with a questioning look.
The big bear squatted down, bent his body low, pushed his bear paws, and handed the plant in his hand to Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi took it confused.
The small cluster of plants in Big Bear's hand, placed before Ye Zhizhi, almost drowned her. Ye Zhizhi held it tightly in her arms. She sniffed the plants and found them to be medicinal herbs.
The big bear danced around in front of Ye Zhizhi, pointed at Ye Zhizhi's still red and swollen cheeks, and opened its mouth to reveal a row of strong and sharp teeth.
“Ahhh!”
Big Bear is a crazy lover of sweets, and he even likes sweets more than any other bear.
And don't be fooled by the big bear's silly appearance. It is quite strong. Its persistence in sweets makes it easier for it to find the beehive. Even if it can't succeed every time it tries to steal the beehive, the big bear relies on its thick skin and can still successfully grab the beehive after several attempts.
Therefore, Big Bear is one of the few bears that will get a toothache after eating honey.
But it doesn’t matter, bears have instincts to treat toothaches.
When it has a toothache, it chews this plant and the pain is quickly relieved, and it can resume eating sweets after a few days.
Ye Zhizhi understood what Daxiong meant.
She was very touched. She didn't expect that Daxiong would go out of his way to find herbs to treat her toothache. Regardless of whether it would be effective or not, Ye Zhizhi was very happy that Daxiong had such a thought.
Ye Zhizhi immediately plucked a few leaves and put them in his mouth to chew.
The cool feeling spread throughout his mouth and went straight to the top of his head, and Ye Zhizhi shuddered.
So cool!
But it was very effective in relieving toothaches. Before long, she felt the dull pain subside, and her mind also became clearer.
Ye Zhizhi jumped for joy.
The herbs that Big Bear found were very effective. Ye Zhizhi thanked him loudly, then asked Big Bear to wait for a moment, climbed onto Yin Yi's back, and asked Yin Yi to take him back to the cave.
When she came out again, Ye Zhizhi was holding the largest fruit shell, with several wooden barrels full of honey hanging around her waist. Big Bear was still squatting there waiting for her.
Ye Zhizhi stuffed all the honey she brought out into the bear's paws, saying that this was a reward, thanking the bear for finding herbs to treat her, which was simply saving her life.
The big bear did not refuse this time. It took the honey in its hands, roared happily at Ye Zhizhi, then stood up and walked with bear steps, happily disappearing into the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi chewed the leaves, trying hard to remember the shape and smell of the plant. It should have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. She kept chewing, and her mouth felt less uncomfortable, and her swollen cheeks were no longer so red and hot.
When Yin saw that the wolf girl had recovered her spirit, he knew that this herb was better than the one he had found before. He lowered his head and sniffed it, and remembered the smell of this plant.
Next time the wolf girl’s teeth hurt, she will know to look for this plant.
Within two days, Ye Zhizhi's red and swollen cheeks had visibly subsided, her gums were no longer as swollen and painful, and she had an appetite for the broth.
Of course, I didn’t touch barbecue, which is easy to cause inflammation, or honey, and my main diet was light.
This toothache left a deep impression on Ye Zhizhi, and she didn't dare to act pretentiously for a while.
Three more days passed.
Ye Zhizhi's face was no longer swollen, and she no longer felt any pain. She felt fine again.
“Ahhh!”
Ye Zhizhi ran in the mountains and forests, and the whole area was echoing with her childish and high-pitched cries.
This caused the bee colony on the next hill to hide its nest even more secretly.
This little troublemaker is out again.
Yin Yi followed behind Ye Zhizhi, looking at her lively little figure. Wherever she went, animals quietly moved away, and even the insects in the crevices and cracks burrowed deeper.
Yin Yi thought proudly that his wolf sister was becoming more and more powerful, and other predators didn't even dare to get close to her. Letting her grow freely was very effective.
Yin Yi was about to leave.
Ye Zhizhi ran up to Yin Yi, pointed in a direction and announced loudly that she was going there.
Yin Yi looked up in the direction Ye Zhizhi pointed, which was the more dangerous central area.
Ye Zhizhi had already made the decision, so naturally she had to tell the wolves. After all, if she ran away from this area, the wolves would definitely notice her and chase after her. Instead of doing that, it would be better to inform them first.
If the wolves were worried about her going there alone, then they could just go together so they could look after each other. If they were worried about her exploring alone, then she could tell them where she was going, and the wolves wouldn't chase after her for no apparent reason.
Yin Yi: “…”
The wolf girl is small in stature and has never grown up, but she is as brave as it. Maybe she has already seen that after leaving this time, it is going to go there alone to explore, so she said that she wants to go there too.
Yin Yi lowered his head and looked carefully at the wolf girl who held her little face high, trying to see what she was thinking.
Ye Zhizhi blinked and looked back, she tilted her head. Why did Brother Wolf react like this when he heard her say to go over there?
Yin couldn't understand anything and could only say that the brother and sister were in sync with each other.
But in this case, Yinyi couldn't rest assured that Wolf Sister would go to such a dangerous place alone. He had originally thought that if Wolf Sister stayed in this area, he could go further away without any worries.
Yin Yi explored back and forth and found that there was no existence in this area that could threaten the wolf girl, especially since she had also made friends with a powerful bear. Yin Yi saw that the bear was very friendly to the wolf girl, so if they moved together in this jungle, it would have nothing to worry about.
Unfortunately, its plan was disrupted by the wolf girl's pointing.
Yin Yi looked at Ye Zhizhi, standing silently beside her, motionless.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know that Yin Yi's idea coincided with hers. She knew from Yin Yi's attitude that he was going there with her, so she didn't say anything more.
When the big bear came to see her again, Ye Zhizhi first showed it that her swollen and painful gums had completely healed, and then told it that she could no longer look for honey with it and she had to leave the area.
When Big Bear understood what she meant, his fur suddenly dimmed. Why was she leaving?
It is reluctant to leave its honey-stealing partner.
Since having her, it can basically steal successfully the first time, or the second time, and it gets stung much less often.
Ye Zhizhi stood on tiptoe and patted Daxiong's legs, his eyes revealing reluctance.
She also couldn't bear to leave Big Bear. Although she had only spent a short time with Big Bear, they had already formed a deep friendship.
It doesn’t matter, she will come to play with it when she has the chance in the future.
For the sake of this friendship, Ye Zhizhi prepared to give the honey in his cave to Big Bear.
She sorted it out and found that although she ate frequently, because she and Big Bear found so much honey, they still split it in half each time, and unknowingly accumulated more and more.
Ye Zhizhi asked Daxiong to move almost everything away, and in the end he only left a wooden barrel.
When she had a toothache, she swore never to eat sweets again. Now that the pain is gone, she is repeating the same vow again.
But I learned my lesson and dared not to be unrestrained anymore. I only planned to eat a little to satisfy my cravings.
When the big bear saw so much honey, he couldn't hide his greedy eyes, especially when he realized that the little wolf cub was going to give all the honey to him. He widened his eyes in disbelief. After confirming that it was really going to give it all, he happily moved it back to his den quickly.
The huge bear's body was flexible and light. Vines were tied to its arms, and wooden tubes were hung on the vines. The bear held them in its hands and tucked them under its armpits, moving quickly through the mountains and forests. The big bear moved all the honey away in one trip.
Ye Zhizhi made preparations for three days. He roasted some dried meat and fruits, packed up the package, put it on Yinyi's back, and then sat on its back. The wolf and the cub set off.
This time she walked in this direction, not only to check on Xiaohua's situation, but also to do another thing.
Ye Zhizhi was so overwhelmed by the sugar-coated bullets during this period that he almost forgot that he had to look for new territory.
She felt that as their tribe grew stronger and stronger, they had the ability to move to a better place. And based on her experiences traveling outside over the past two or three years, she knew they had to move towards the central area, where the various survival resources were more abundant.
Of course, they cannot go to places where there are big monsters, nor can they go to the areas within the hunting range of big monsters. They have to find a territory that is not so dangerous and can be protected by wolves.
Ye Zhizhi thought that he still had no clue of a way out, so he might as well find a new territory first.
She will only feel at ease when she sees with her own eyes that the wolves are living better and better.
I should be able to find it in three or four months, right?
Yin Yi walked briskly and soon walked out of this safe temporary area.
The expressions of the man and the wolf became serious, their senses were mobilized in all directions, and they were always alert to their surroundings.
Ye Zhizhi only gave Yin Yi a rough direction according to the route he remembered, and the specific route was still decided by Yin Yi.
Even though Ye Zhizhi's hearing, sense of smell, and intuition for sensing danger have been improving, they are still a long way behind Yin Yi.
However, Ye Zhizhi was not discouraged. She kept trying to sense. Whenever Yin Yi changed his route, she would carefully identify what was happening near the original route and how Yin Yi discovered it.
As they left the safe zone and before officially entering the central area, Ye Zhizhi and Yin Yi both sensed something chasing them. Initially, they tried to avoid it, but Ye Zhizhi felt a familiar noise, like a large bear, so she instructed Yin Yi to slow down and hide. Yin Yi: "..." He wanted to run with the wolf girl, but she had already jumped down and climbed a tree to hide. He had no choice but to hide behind a giant tree, concealing his presence.
Not long after, the thing chasing behind revealed its shape. It was indeed a huge brown bear. It raised its head and sniffed. The scent of the wolf cub was clearly nearby, but it seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
When Ye Zhizhi saw that it was indeed a big bear, he stuck his head out from the tree trunk and roared at it.
She jumped down from the tree in a few steps, stood on the raised roots, and looked at the big bear.
It had only been a few days since we last saw each other, and Big Bear's fur was messy, as if it had never been taken care of... Ye Zhizhi sniffed, and she seemed to smell a faint smell of blood.
The big bear was very happy to see the little wolf cub appear. It roared and then approached her.
Yin Yi walked out from behind the tree, jumped onto the rock, and lay down not far away.
Ye Zhizhi opened his eyes slightly wide. Big Bear was injured? !
She looked around, sniffed hard, and saw the big bear spread out its paw in front of her, and the smell of blood was even stronger.
In its open paw, there lay quietly a plant covered with black fruits. The fruits were very small, only as big as peanuts, and the plant was covered with sharp thorns that penetrated deeply into the bear's paw.
The big bear roared again and moved his paw towards the stunned wolf cub, indicating that it was specially for her.
Yin Yi smelled the scent of blood and the scent of plants mixed in it. Its claws subconsciously stretched out from its pads, but it quickly suppressed its instinct to grab and retracted them.
The big bear was keenly aware of it. It turned its head and looked over vigilantly, urging the little wolf cub to accept its return gift quickly.
Yes, return the gift.
After the little wolf cub generously gave it a lot of honey, the big bear wanted to give the little wolf cub something too.
The little wolf cub no longer wants its favorite honey, so it ponders for a long time before it remembers that there is such a plant growing in its next-door neighbor's territory, and the fruits it grows are loved by animals.
The bear sneaked in and picked a plant for this purpose. Of course, he was discovered in the end. The bear ran faster than before and ran for two days before he got rid of the angry pursuit of the neighbor. Then he found that the wolf cub had left and chased him all the way.
Ye Zhizhi had no idea about the twists and turns behind this. She only knew that she simply didn't dare to eat so much honey, so she generously gave all the honey to Daxiong. However, she didn't expect to receive such pure kindness, which made her feel ashamed.
She sniffed, "Ah~~" Ye Zhizhi wanted the big bear to eat it himself. She appreciated its kindness, but she felt unworthy of it.
The big bear tilted its head, and its paw pushed Ye Zhizhi, making her stagger. Ye Zhizhi struggled to keep her balance.
"roar!"
There was confusion in the big bear's eyes. How could this little wolf cub be so stupid as to refuse such a good thing? How could such a fool survive in the jungle?
Ye Zhizhi didn't know that she was labeled as stupid by the big bear, whom she thought was very silly. Animals are sometimes stubborn. She really couldn't refuse, so she had to rinse the fruit with boiling water and then divide the fruit on the spot.
Ye Zhizhi and Daxiong divided the fruit in half.
The big bear was already used to splitting the loot in half with the wolf cub. Although he had originally wanted to give it all to the wolf cub, he could accept this way of dividing it.
So the big bear opened his mouth wide, tilted his head back and ate all the small fruits in his palm.
As soon as it lowered its head, the little wolf cub in front of it had jumped onto the rock and stood in front of the silver wolf. It ate a few fruits itself and put a handful into the silver wolf's mouth. The two wolves, one big and one small, shared the fruits in great harmony.
Yin glanced at Big Bear.
Big Bear: "..." He looked down at his empty paws and suddenly felt that the fruit was no longer fragrant.
