127 Wilderness Survival
◎She figured out a solution!◎
The steep cliffs were wet, the rocks were slippery, and the rain was still dripping.
Ye Zhizhi grabbed the hanging vines with both hands, stepped on the slippery stones, and climbed up steadily.
Rainy days increase the difficulty of climbing, but it doesn’t affect Ye Zhizhi much. Her friends are all below. If she accidentally falls, Ye Zhizhi believes that they will catch her.
When Ye Zhizhi was climbing the cliff, the wolves, bears and snakes below looked up at her.
Xiaohua tried three times to follow Ye Zhizhi and climb up, but the cliff was too steep and the rocks were slippery. Xiaohua would fall down just after climbing up a certain distance, and finally had to curl up on the ground in frustration.
Ye Zhizhi climbed all the way up. This arched forest in the air seemed not high, but it was actually quite a distance from the ground.
After a long effort, she successfully climbed up in one go. Ye Zhizhi first carefully observed the terrain above the forest, and after sensing that there was nothing dangerous, she climbed over and landed safely.
Ye Zhizhi looked down, waved his little hand to greet his friends below, and confirmed that he was fine. Then he walked slowly above, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
She supported herself on the ground with a long wooden stick she had picked up in one hand, and held a dagger in the other, pushing aside the branches and vines that blocked her view. Raindrops fell heavily, and Ye Zhizhi carefully avoided them to avoid getting drenched.
At this time, the sky was slightly white and the light was dim. Ye Zhizhi groped forward, his eyes turning left and right from time to time to observe.
There was nothing special about this small ridge, just ordinary rocks and branches. With no giant old trees, the ground was covered in a vast expanse of bushes and creepers. The arched terrain of the valley didn't hold any water, but instead flowed down the sides, forming a massive curtain of rain.
She shuttled through the wet bushes and walked around in all directions. One side of the mountain was still a cliff, and the connected place extended outward for a short gentle slope, but it did not connect to the ground. The other side was also a steep slope. At this moment, she could overlook the deep valley stream below the steep slope, and the waves were surging.
This is like a buffer zone, dividing the two steep cliffs.
At both ends of the mountain range is a canyon on one side and a turbulent river on the other. This river is connected to an underground river and should also be connected to that river.
You can't go down here either.
Ye Zhizhi wandered around for most of the day and finally came up with only two solutions: dig a road on the inner cliff and walk through the small hill above. He only needed to dig the front and back sections to avoid the river.
One is to estimate the waterline and build a stone path on the edge of the river bank near the edge of the cliff.
Both are very engineering-intensive methods.
She was at a loss for words.
After hearing the calls of his friends below, Ye Zhizhi began to climb down while thinking about which method would be safer.
Aside from the disadvantage of the river blocking the entrance and exit during the rainy season, this cave has no other disadvantages, but it has a ton of advantages. Ye Zhizhi was reluctant to give up this place.
It will definitely be solved.
Ye Zhizhi comforted himself in this way.
She landed safely, and Yin Yi stood above Ye Zhizhi's head to help her block some of the rain.
"Hiss?" Xiaohua leaned over the snake's head and saw the snake's tongue moving in and out.
Ye Zhizhi touched Xiaohua's cold snake head and looked up to discuss with Yinyi. Should she and Xiaohua go out to take a look? Should Brother Lang go back and wait?
Yin Yi vaguely sensed Ye Zhizhi's thoughts. She had never concealed her thoughts. Until now, Ye Zhizhi was trying to find a way out.
It also thought that if the river remained so turbulent after the rainy season, they would not be able to go out and catch prey.
Yin Yi lowered his head and licked Ye Zhizhi's cold, wet face and forehead, sweeping away the raindrops, as if trying to lick away the two eyebrows that she had unconsciously pulled up. A low cry emanated from his throat.
Ye Zhizhi understood Yin Yi's meaning as soon as she heard it. It told her to do whatever she wanted.
She hugged her forelimbs, which were covered with wisps of silver hair, and roared firmly, she would definitely find a solution.
Ye Zhizhi hissed at Xiaohua a few times, and Xiaohua happily lowered her snake head and slithered over.
"Hiss!" Xiaohua wants to go out with the cubs!
Ye Zhizhi touched Xiaohua's snake head, then climbed up and steady himself with his limbs.
Xiaohua immediately dived into the water. The surging water hit her, as if pushing her forward, making her feel the terrible power of the water. However, Xiaohua swam very steadily. She went with the flow, swimming on the water surface, and took advantage of the water's momentum to swim out in an instant.
Da Mo also swam out and followed quietly behind.
Ye Zhizhi asked Xiaohua to swim ashore as soon as she could. She sat on Xiaohua, squinted her eyes slightly, looked around, and estimated the distance from entering the water to getting ashore.
After getting ashore, Ye Zhizhi looked back at the entrance to the canyon.
She felt that both methods would take about the same amount of time, whether digging a tunnel or paving a stone road in the water.
Ye Zhizhi suddenly thought of something unsettling. If he dug such an obvious passage, wouldn't it attract other predators? Wouldn't that easily lead other animals to the canyon?
Xiaohua quickly climbed ashore by snaking her body. Ye Zhizhi did not get off the ground, but let Xiaohua carry her to wander around the nearby mountains and forests.
The river flooded and the flat areas on both sides of the river bank were covered by water, making the river appear very wide.
If the water level does not drop, they will not be able to cross the river to hunt on the other side and can only hunt prey in the same direction. There are many mountains, forests and wastelands in this area. As long as they can get out, they don’t have to worry about not finding prey.
As Ye Zhizhi and the two snakes were passing through the forest, they saw many predators coming out to hunt.
But this time, they only came out to explore the nearby terrain, avoiding predators and not fighting.
It was not until it got dark that Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua Damu swam back upstream.
Ye Zhizhi didn't expect that Yinyi and the others were still guarding the entrance of the canyon. She thought Yinyi would listen to her and go back to the canyon with Daxiong, but looking at their wet and sticky fur and cold skin, she knew that they had not left.
"Ahhh!" Ye Zhizhi was both furious and distressed. Why didn't Yin Yi listen to his advice? Even with thick fur, it must be very uncomfortable to be exposed to the rain all the time.
The same goes for the big bear. If Yin Yi doesn't leave, it won't leave either, and it ends up becoming a drowned wolf and a drowned bear.
Yin Yi looked down at Ye Zhizhi and licked her cold face.
"Oh!" Ye Zhizhi urged, go back quickly!
Ye Zhizhi and his companions quickly rushed back to the cave.
The wolf left behind in the cave had been waiting anxiously for a long time. He hadn't seen his companions come back, so he waited at the entrance of the cave, pacing back and forth anxiously.
If it weren't for Yin Yi's order, they would have rushed out long ago.
After finally seeing his companions coming back, he immediately let out a loud roar.
Silver Little Gray couldn't wait, and as soon as Ye Zhizhi stood on the ground, he squeezed forward, whimpering softly, rubbing against Ye Zhizhi, and licking her from time to time. He felt very sorry for Sister Wolf's miserable appearance.
Even though Ye Zhizhi had made all the necessary preparations, she was still soaked after being outside in the rain for a whole day.
Ye Zhizhi threw the leaf hat on her head outside. It was no longer usable. When she was walking through the forest, the leaf hat was scratched and torn by branches.
She took off her snakeskin raincoat, and the clothes underneath were also soaked.
Ye Zhizhi could feel that her whole body was as cold as a popsicle. She went back to the cave, changed into dry clothes, and then, for the first time, lit a fire in a corner of the cave.
Ye Zhizhi had no idea what the winter would be like here, but she had the foresight to choose a cave as her living area, where she stored her daily necessities and food reserves.
Firewood was piled up half the wall.
This cave is very spacious and does not seem cramped even when filled with miscellaneous items.
After being rained on for a whole day in such a cold and wet rainy day, both Ye Zhizhi and the animals needed to warm up.
After Ye Zhizhi started a fire, they squeezed in and squatted where the fire could reach.
Ye Zhizhi cooked a big pot of broth, lit a fire to dry clothes, and then made some barbecue.
Animals instinctively dislike fire. Even if they are crowded in a cave, they don't get too close to the fire. This will not affect Ye Zhizhi's movements. Moreover, the cave has good air circulation, so there is no need to worry about the smoke and fire not being able to dissipate.
Ye Zhizhi felt warm all over, and her cold body finally warmed up. After drinking a few sips of boiling hot soup, she really felt warm from the inside out, and hot sweat soon appeared on her forehead.
Comfortable!
Big Bear and Little Flower moved closer. Big Bear was holding a honey shell in his hand and eating it with a wooden spoon.
This wooden spoon was made by Ye Zhizhi specially for Daxiong. When they first met, Daxiong was very rough in eating honey, either by scooping it out with his hands or pouring it all directly into his mouth.
Ye Zhizhi felt that the former was not clean, and the latter was consumed too quickly.
If Big Bear swallowed the honey whole, no amount of honey would be enough, so she made a wooden spoon for Big Bear to dig and eat. It was clean and could last longer.
Big Bear also liked this kind of steady flow, so he changed his habit of eating honey.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Daxiong would occasionally scoop out a spoonful for Ye Zhizhi to share. However, Ye Zhizhi was still frightened by the toothache she had last time, and she didn't dare to eat honey in such big mouthfuls again, not to mention that she was in the teething period now.
But it is still okay to drink honey water and eat some honey barbecue.
Ye Zhizhi dug out a little and spread it on the meat before roasting it. When it was three to five minutes cooked, he gave it to his companions. The more cooked the meat was, the less the animals liked to eat it. They preferred to eat meat with a bloody taste, but they accepted half-cooked meat well.
Ye Zhizhi hoped that his companions who had been caught in the rain all day could eat some hot food so that they could warm up quickly.
When she handed the piece of meat to Yinyi, she touched its hair and found that only the roots were slightly wet.
After everyone had filled their stomachs and digested the food, they went back to their nests and lay down.
Ye Zhizhi nestled in Yin Yi's arms, keeping each other warm.
After being out for a day, even though he didn't do anything, Ye Zhizhi felt very tired, and fell asleep in a short while.
Yin Yi pulled Ye Zhizhi closer to him and lowered his head to lick her head.
Early the next morning, Ye Zhizhi woke up in high spirits and urged Yin Yi to go out with them.
She thought of a compromise!
