12 Wilderness Survival
◎ "Awoo—" The silver wolf howled mournfully.◎
In one morning, Ye Zhizhi had knitted the width of a finger joint. She was not discouraged at all. Now that she had experience, she could knit even faster in the afternoon!
Ye Zhizhi was tired of sitting, so he leaned over and lay down.
Wait for her to sleep for a while, and then fight again when she wakes up!
Yin Yi was concerned about Wolf Sister and would run up to see her from time to time.
Seeing the wolf sister playing with dry grass, she didn't stop her. After all, the wolf mother would just slap her when she saw it, so she would definitely protect the wolf sister.
When it came up again, it found that the wolf girl was asleep. It climbed up to the nest, and thinking that the wolf girl liked to hug it when she slept, it rushed over and lay down close to the wolf girl.
When Ye Zhizhi fell asleep, she felt the warmth and subconsciously hugged Yin Yi. Her little hand loosened, and the thing she was holding tightly fell in front of Yin Yi.
Yin Yi looked at the piece of dry grass and recognized that it was something that the wolf sister had worked so hard to make. He stretched out his claws and hooked it out of curiosity.
It's so weird, what is this? Let me take a look.
So when Ye Zhizhi woke up, she saw that all her hard work of the morning had been torn into pieces, becoming a pile of broken grass under Yin Yi's claws, unable to close his eyes.
Ye Zhizhi: “…”
She met Yin Yi's innocent eyes. The cub's pupils were round and watery, innocent and pure. They looked harmless, making it easy to forget that they were actually terrible predators.
What else could Ye Zhizhi do? Of course, he would forgive it.
Ye Zhizhi started weaving again, and her speed was indeed much faster than in the morning.
Yin Yi lay on the side and watched, as if he knew he had done something wrong, and his ears folded from time to time.
Ye Zhizhi had no time to pay attention to it and focused on weaving. When it was evening, when she felt that the wolf mother was about to come back, she hurriedly stuffed the palm-sized thing she had woven into the dry grass, and then smoothed out the mess.
Seeing Yin Yi still there, staring at the place where she hid her things, Ye Zhizhi howled a few times and taught her seriously -
I can’t ruin my achievements again!
Yin Yi responded with a howl, as if he understood.
Ye Zhizhi looked at it a few more times with concern, and was relieved when he saw that Brother Wolf showed no signs of searching for it.
Even if Ye Zhizhi tried hard to recover, the silver wolf could see that the den was in a mess when it came back. However, seeing the innocent expressions of the two cubs, it pretended not to know. Anyway, this degree of mess would not affect its rest.
After two days of hard work, Ye Zhizhi finally weaved a straw quilt that could cover her.
Although it is very thin, looks crooked, and does not seem to keep you warm, it is better than nothing.
Equipment has added another √
Ye Zhizhi was so happy that she rolled over with joy. This was something she had worked so hard to weave. Her two little hands had suffered for it. They were overused and were red, tired and painful, but it was all worth it!
Although Yin Yi didn't know why the wolf girl was suddenly so excited, it didn't stop him from following her. He fell into the nest and rolled around with her, howling with joy.
Ye Zhizhi's happiness didn't last long before he turned to sorrow.
The temperature will no longer drop little by little, but will drop in seconds.
Just one day later, the temperature in the cave became freezing cold.
Ye Zhizhi was shivering with cold.
The straw quilt she had woven with so much effort was of no use.
It can be said that the operation was as fierce as a tiger, but the record was 0.005.
Yin Yi, who could originally go out to play, can now only stay with Ye Zhizhi for a moment. He can feel her cold body temperature through the contact of her fur.
Yin Yi then remembered that the wolf girl had become bald. Her hair had not grown for such a long time. The little hair on her head could not keep her warm at all. If she could not keep warm, it meant that the wolf girl might not be able to survive the increasingly cold climate.
Yin Yi couldn't help but worry.
“Ouch—”
At this time, Silver Wolf was not there, and only Silver One was keeping Ye Zhizhi warm. Ye Zhizhi could only feel a little warmth by leaning against Silver One's chest. Her limbs and head were cold. She was so cold that her lips changed color and her head was throbbing with pain.
Ye Zhizhi knew that this was a sign of illness.
Despite her best efforts, she still caught a cold.
Fortunately, the silver wolf came back early that day. After shaking off the coldness on its body and returning to its den, it noticed that something was wrong with its cubs.
The silver wolf seemed in disbelief. How could the cub it had raised with so much difficulty suddenly become so weak again?
Ye Zhizhi was trembling under Yin Yi's body. When he saw the silver wolf coming back with his eyes wide open, he could only call out weakly with a trembling voice.
The silver wolf held the cub in its arms and kept licking Ye Zhizhi's cold face.
Only then did it realize that its cubs were not cold-tolerant.
Silver Wolf had been going out early and coming back late these days and had not noticed this. Instead, it was Yin Yi, who had been accompanying her all the time, who first noticed that she was afraid of the cold.
This means that its cubs, which have finally survived, are about to face a new survival dilemma.
Ye Zhizhi buried himself in the silver wolf's forelimbs, with his little head squeezed between the two claws. His entire body was pressed under the wolf, and only then did he barely feel cold.
The silver wolf kept its front legs bent, creating a small space for the cub so that it would not be squeezed flat by it.
She was wearing a small blanket hood on her head, which barely blocked the cold air that was everywhere.
Fortunately, Wolf Mom came back early today. After her body gradually warmed up, the symptoms of her illness were much alleviated.
She shouldn't catch a cold again, right? Ye Zhizhi, feeling much more energetic after a good sleep, curled herself up even deeper. If she didn't need to breathe, she would have wanted to bury herself completely inside.
As expected, the constant temperature blanket still depends on the wolf mother. The wolf brother's body is still too small. Although the wolf cub's body temperature is higher, it is still not as warm as a big thick blanket.
If the temperature remained like this throughout the winter, she would still be able to get through it safely.
Ye Zhizhi thought so, but reality hit her hard.
The temperature dropped even lower that afternoon.
Even the Silver Wolf could not give her complete warmth all the time.
Ye Zhizhi realized very clearly that winter had come.
Outside the cave, which she couldn't see, the sky was covered in white snowflakes. The branches and leaves of the mountain forest, most of which were still green, were slowly being stained with pure white.
The wind is cold and the snow is falling heavily.
The boundless forest was completely silent. All the animals were either wintering in caves or tree holes, or on their way back to their dens in silence.
The white snow fell on everything in the world, and soon everything was white. On the ground, several animals were covered in wind and snow, moving quickly, leaving claw marks under their feet on the shallow layer of snow. After a while, they were covered by the white snow again, leaving no trace.
A pack of wolves out hunting were wrapped in the wind and snow and were running towards their den, biting their prey.
They returned to their nests as the snow fell harder.
The wolves shook off the snow and water on their bodies and walked into the cave dragging their prey.
The cold wind was howling.
Even inside the cave, you can hear the strange howling sound of the wind outside.
This is the wolves' last hunt before winter comes. After that, they can only stay in the cave for the winter, waiting for the ice and snow to melt and spring to bloom.
Ye Zhizhi had no time to pay attention to the situation of the wolf pack at this time.
She was so cold, so cold.
At this time, the temperature outside the cave was below zero degrees, and the temperature inside the cave felt no higher than ten degrees, and the temperature continued to drop.
She heard that the temperature is lowest when the snow melts, and now the temperature is unbearable when it is snowing. She can't imagine how she can survive it, and she may not be able to make it until then.
Whether human or wolf, they all needed to eat grains and meet physiological needs. This period was the most difficult for Ye Zhizhi. Every time felt like a tribulation, but Ye Zhizhi couldn't not drink milk. It was better to endure the cold with a full stomach than to be cold and hungry.
Ye Zhizhi's head hurt even more. Her whole body was cold, so cold that it felt like freezing to the bone. She had started to have a stuffy nose and cough.
The sound is so thin and weak that it is almost inaudible.
She fell into a deep sleep, whimpering uncomfortably from time to time.
The wolf king was finally allowed to return to the den because he was needed to keep the cubs warm.
The silver wolf and a little wolf cub could no longer keep Ye Zhizi warm at all times.
But Ye Zhizhi didn't know that the wolf king was lying beside her to keep her warm, otherwise she would definitely be scared.
Ye Zhizhi was very cold. Even when she was lying on the warm and furry wolf mother, hugging her equally warm wolf brothers, and sticking close to the wolf king's body which was as huge as a hill, she was still very cold.
This coldness is everywhere, coming from all directions and penetrating deep into the bone marrow.
There was also a strange smell and a strange body temperature... Ye Zhizhi felt uneasy instinctively.
But the body temperature and scent of Wolf Mom and Yin Yi were always by her side, comforting her.
When Ye Zhizhi drowsily opened her eyes, she vaguely saw the Wolf King lying beside her. But she thought it was an illusion caused by illness, and quickly closed her eyes and groaned. Her head ached, and her whole body felt like it was soaked in steam, and she was sweating profusely from the heat.
Soon she was shivering with cold again.
Ye Zhizhi finally caught a cold and was now running a high fever.
Her face was red and she was covered in sweat, as if she had just emerged from the water.
The silver wolf used its tongue to lick her head and face, licking away the sweat she produced.
The tender and smooth face was licked again and again, and the stinging sensation became more and more obvious, which made Ye Zhizhi sober for a moment.
She turned her head and struggled slightly. Her lifeless eyes focused, and she slightly widened her eyes and saw the wolf king close to her.
"..." It turned out that it wasn't an illusion! Ye Zhizhi was so shocked that he had no strength left, and even the fear disappeared.
In such a harsh environment, even a minor illness can be a fatal blow to a cub without any treatment.
She was able to survive the previous illness, but she didn't know if she could survive this severe cold and illness.
She thought at this moment, being eaten by the wolf king was no big deal, since she was going to die anyway, so she could just consider it as repaying the wolf mother for saving her life... But could he wait until she was dead before eating her? She was quite afraid of pain...
Ye Zhizhi was only conscious for a short while before he soon lost consciousness. His whole body felt even more uncomfortable, cold and hot, and even his bones began to ache.
She is dying.
Ye Zhizhi felt that he would soon freeze to death.
She tried to stay awake and not fall asleep so quickly.
I don’t know if there will be another chance to be reborn.
But, I'm so unwilling...
She doesn't want to die...
She wanted to... live...
Ye Zhizhi couldn't forget them. She hadn't seen the family who loved her all her life. In less than three months at home, her eyes were still blurry. She hadn't seen what they really looked like yet...
Her clumsy father, her sweet and soft mother, and her little brother who would sneak into her room late at night to hug her... I wonder if she cried secretly after she was gone.
The wolf mother was also very good to her. To her, the wolf mother who had saved her many times and raised her was already her adoptive mother.
She hasn't yet repaid Wolf Mom's kindness... and Wolf Brother...
"Awoo--" The silver wolf let out a mournful howl, like a mother who is about to lose her child, her voice was mournful and heartbreaking.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes were so heavy she couldn't open them. She stretched out her little fingers, trying to grab the silver wolf's fur. She wanted to tell the wolf mother not to be sad. She had been very happy these past few months, and she was very happy to be its cub... Even after she was gone, she would... also...
