119 Wilderness Survival
◎Although it has a terrifying aura, it is a vegetarian animal.◎
If she leaves the jungle one day in the future, will the wolf pack be able to do well without her first completing the preliminary work on the breeding farm?
Ye Zhizhi didn't want the wolves to start starving again after she was gone, especially now that their number was increasing. She had to settle the wolves before she could leave with peace of mind.
Thinking about leaving, Ye Zhizhi felt her heart hurt more than her head. She deliberately ignored the reluctance and then walked out of the cave.
Her day had been thrilling. She had climbed a cliff in the middle of the night, "ridden" the Giant Eagle flying car at daybreak, and then floated in the water for most of the day. It was already afternoon when she climbed ashore.
Ye Zhizhi entered the cave and took a walk around. Before he knew it, it was already evening.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was painted with an orange-red afterglow, shrouding the entire canyon in a warm atmosphere. Every leaf was dyed with a layer of warm color. When the evening breeze blew gently, it also brought the noise of small animals returning to their nests.
The squirrels that had not come out for a long time since Ye Zhizhi went in secretly popped their heads out of the tree holes, and then stood on the branches again, jumping, chasing and playing. As a result, before it got dark, they saw the little predator with a scary breath again.
Squirrels: "..." Oh my god! This little predator appears again!
The squirrels crawled into the nearby tree hole. The little squirrel was stupid and hadn't reacted yet. It was a little late to lift its foot and was bumped by a squirrel running by. Its claws flew and it fell to the side.
The fat squirrel missed a step and was so frightened that its tail stood up straight. It pedaled its feet desperately like a wheel, but still fell straight down and landed accurately in the arms of the little cub under the tree, hugging it tightly.
The little squirrel's plump flesh trembled a few times. The frightened squirrel widened its eyes, raised its head and looked into another pair of big round eyes, with its two little paws tucked into its chest.
Ye Zhizhi saw a squirrel fall down, so he ran over and caught it.
It feels furry and soft, and quite comfortable.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but rub it. The furry touch was different from that of a wolf. She once wanted to make friends with harmless animals like rabbits.
But when the animals smelled her scent, they trembled with fear, and some would faint immediately. Ye Zhizhi could only give up the idea with regret and treat them as a dish in a pure recipe.
The cub in Ye Zhizhi's hands is obviously still a cub, but it is raised to be shiny, smooth and round, and looks very cute.
The squirrels found that one of their friends had fallen into the hands of a small predator. They chirped and poked their heads out, wanting to snatch the friend back, but they were afraid of Ye Zhizhi's breath and dared not act.
Especially the little squirrel in her hand was so scared that it dared not move.
Ye Zhizhi announced that the little squirrel was being held hostage by her.
So she held the little squirrel tightly and didn't let go.
She looked around again, walked out of the narrow plant passage, and into the canyon.
Since this place can support so many vegetarian animals, there must be a lot of wild fruits.
Ye Zhizhi walked faster, and soon he was bathed in the sunset. The setting sun was setting from the other side of the cave, that is, on the east side of the canyon, the sun rose from this side and could directly shine towards the cave entrance. The sunset could be seen until it set, and this steep cliff was on the north side.
This location is excellent, and Ye Zhizhi is satisfied with one more thing.
No wonder this green plant grows so well.
Ye Zhizhi didn't walk very far. He found a fruit tree near the canyon and picked some wild fruits.
When she was picking fruits, one hand was not enough, so she put the little squirrel aside. Unexpectedly, the little squirrel stood on the ground stupidly and didn't know how to escape at all. After Ye Zhizhi picked enough fruits, she picked it up and went back together, returning to the entrance of the cave before it was completely dark.
The cave seemed dark at this time. Ye Zhizhi did not go too deep, but sat down near the entrance. A family of squirrels could be seen outside.
Although it has been confirmed that there is no danger in the cave, it is too empty. Even if she is brave, it is better to stay here and listen to the noise of the small animals.
The squirrels were already mourning their dead companion, but unexpectedly, the predator came back with his little companion, still alive.
They were stunned. They thought the predator had taken their little friend out and eaten him, but it turned out to be the one who brought him back alive and well. It was a bit strange, so they observed him.
Ye Zhizhi nibbled on the fruit, stroking the furry creature that was curled up in her arms from time to time with one hand.
Because the little squirrel was so well-behaved, Ye Zhizhi gave it two fruits. You know, no animal can snatch food from her unless she is willing.
At first the little squirrel could only tremble and couldn't even make a sound, but perhaps because it was too young, ignorant, fearless and slow, it was instinctively afraid of Ye Zhizhi's breath. However, when it found that the predator had no intention of swallowing it, it gradually became bolder and quietly observed her from time to time.
When the little squirrel discovered that this scary predator actually ate fruits and shared the food with it, he immediately felt friendly.
Even its own kind rarely share food with it!
The little squirrel's eyes suddenly lit up. Although this little predator had a terrifying aura, it didn't hurt the little squirrel. Most importantly, it was a vegetarian! Most importantly, it shared its food with it!
The little squirrel suddenly didn't find her scary anymore. She was a vegetarian animal and would not eat it, so it was not afraid of her anymore!
The little squirrel cooperated very well and snuggled closer to her arms, chewing the fruit happily.
It felt very comfortable being held, and the paws that were kneading and massaging it felt particularly comfortable. The little squirrel softened into a ball and didn't resist at all.
Ye Zhizhi didn't pay much attention to the little squirrel's mood changes, he just felt that it was smoother to stroke.
After all, she had consumed a lot of energy today, and her head was still a little dizzy, so she held the little squirrel and sat on the opening of the snakeskin bag with her buttocks, pressing it down, being careful not to crush the flowers inside so that other animals would not sneak away without being discovered.
The little squirrel nestled obediently in Ye Zhizhi's arms and fell asleep carefreely.
The other squirrels were observing furtively, trying to see if they could steal the baby squirrel back: "?"
The squirrels rustled and rustled, not daring to make loud noises for fear of waking the little predator.
In the eyes of the squirrels, this little predator was a cub that had lost contact with the herd. It did not seem so ferocious and did not show any hostility towards them, as if it was just staying here temporarily.
And they smelled a faint smell of blood, the cub was injured.
It doesn't seem that scary.
The squirrels were whispering to each other. At first, the squirrel that wanted to take her things thought that she followed them to seek revenge. It didn't expect her to come back and forth so many times, nor did it want to catch them.
The squirrels thought she wouldn't climb trees, but she had already caught one of her own species that had fallen from a tree, but she didn't eat it.
They naturally saw her chewing the fruit and also thought that this little cub was a herbivore.
The aura of some vegetarian animals is indeed very strong, but they will not harm other animals. They can even climb on each other to play, and they still have a calm aura and will not get angry.
The squirrels looked from afar at their little fellow who was being held in their hands, sleeping carefree with his belly bulging.
They understood.
Although its breath is terrifying, it is a vegetarian animal.
The squirrels overcame their fear a little bit and began to discuss how to exchange their little one back. It was not a good idea to keep the little one held hostage like this.
The big squirrel thought this was revenge for the fact that it tried to steal her things. Her chubby little face showed that she was ready to die. If all else failed, she would exchange her little fellow for her.
A group of squirrels discussed the matter until dawn. After not getting any rest all night, they finally reached a decision. They took out their own food reserves from their nests, observed carefully, and approached quietly.
Ye Zhizhi opened her eyes slightly and saw the squirrels acting suspiciously in the moonlight, but they turned around and ran away quickly before they came close to her. She ignored them and continued to rest with her eyes closed.
A big squirrel slowly approached, ears perked up, paying close attention to her movements.
Ye Zhizhi smelled the scent of this big squirrel. It was the same one that tried to steal her flowers before. Was it trying to steal again?
She remained calm and decided to catch the squirrel red-handed.
However, after the big squirrel approached her, it did not go around her side to steal the snakeskin bag. Instead, it stood on tiptoe and stretched out its claws to grab the feet of the little squirrel in her arms and tried to pull it out.
Stealing squirrels?
Ye Zhizhi thought that this was a fellow squirrel and had been with her for so long, so it would be okay for it to go back, so she let go of her hand.
The little squirrel in her arms was pulled a little. Instead of noticing the good intentions of its fellow species to rescue it, it felt unhappy about being disturbed in its sleep. It kicked its feet and kicked the big squirrel away.
Big Squirrel: “…”
Ye Zhizhi: “…” She felt like laughing for some reason.
Since the little squirrel didn't want to leave, she couldn't force it, so she gathered the little squirrel and lifted it up. The little squirrel rubbed its face against hers and fell asleep with its legs spread out.
After this little episode, Ye Zhizhi felt much more relaxed and fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day, Ye Zhizhi woke up to the noise of animals. When she opened her eyes, she saw the rising sun, which dispelled the coldness at the entrance of the cave and cast a layer of golden light.
She put the furry creature in her arms aside, stood up and moved her joints that had been stiff all night, making cracking sounds from time to time.
Ye Zhizhi faced the sun and took a deep breath. After a night, the wound on her forehead looked even more horrible. It was a large patch of bruises and purples, and was obviously higher and swollen than the other side. Moreover, she had bumped into many things in the water, and her body had also been bruised and purple.
You don't have to think about it to know that you look terrible.
Ye Zhizhi lowered her head and saw a pile of nuts on the rocky ground not far from her feet. The big squirrel from last night did not leave, but was squatting in front of the nuts, looking at her with its furry head tilted up.
Noticing her gaze, the big squirrel barked for a while and then pushed the nut forward.
"Oh?" For her?
The big squirrel pushed harder, then looked at the little squirrel who had just woken up with sleepy eyes at her feet.
Ye Zhizhi understood instantly that he wanted to use these nuts to exchange for the little squirrel.
So this is what caused the commotion last night.
Ye Zhizhi agreed. She just wanted to hug the little squirrel to warm herself up so that she wouldn't be so cold at night. If she gave up the little squirrel, she could hug the big squirrel tonight.
Ye Zhizhi glanced at the big squirrel with shiny fur. The sunlight shone on it, and the light layer of fur looked puffy and soft against the light, and it looked very good to stroke.
So she decided to follow her heart, bent down and grabbed the big squirrel in her arms, then turned and went into the cave.
Big Squirrel: "Guh?"
The little squirrel, having regained consciousness, stared blankly at their departing figures. After a while—
"squeak!"
Ye Zhizhi entered the cave just to wash up, so she went directly to the cave where the spring was.
When the cool spring water splashed on the wound, Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but hiss, but it seemed to relieve the swelling and discomfort, which was equivalent to an ice compress. She patted it a few more times, and her mind became much clearer.
Ye Zhizhi turned her head and saw the big squirrel standing next to her, but she didn't run away.
Why are all these squirrels so stupid? They're the kind that count the money after being sold.
After washing up, Ye Zhizhi picked up the big squirrel and turned to walk out.
The little squirrel was still standing at the entrance of the cave, calling out from time to time. When it noticed her coming out, it called out even louder. Its big, bright eyes were watery, full of grievance and expectation.
Ye Zhizhi was puzzled. Hadn't these squirrels always been afraid of her? How come after just one night, not only were they no longer afraid, they were actually vying for her favor?
She put the big squirrel down, casually crossed her legs, and then ate the fruit.
She still had a lot of fruits she picked last night. When Ye Zhizhi saw many different varieties of nuts, she pushed the fruits to the squirrel as an exchange.
Ye Zhizhi's front teeth had not yet grown in, so she simply pinched open the surface shell with her bare hands, then broke the nut in half and threw it into her mouth.
She still found it more convenient to eat wild fruits because they were not as hard, but nuts were more filling than fruits.
After eating, Ye Zhizhi prepared to go out.
She thought back to her journey yesterday, which involved climbing cliffs, flying, and drifting. She felt that Yin Yi would not be able to find her for a while, and this time could not be wasted. She might as well explore the area and see what prey resources were available.
When Ye Zhizhi walked out of the green passage, two squirrels were still following her, and the other squirrels continued to observe her in the trees. Compared to the fear they showed yesterday, their eyes today were more full of curiosity.
Ye Zhizhi knew that if the wolf pack wanted to settle here, they would have to get along well with these indigenous animals. Although they were all vegetarians, it was precisely because of this that it was easier for them to coexist.
So try to send friendly signals.
