130 Wilderness Survival
◎It was a mistake. She couldn't win.◎
Ye Zhizhi lay on Yin Yi, rising and falling with his breathing, his chubby little face pressed against the fur, rubbing against the not-so-soft fur from time to time.
As she rubbed, she wondered how the wolf mother and the others were doing now. With the farm there, they shouldn't starve. There were no animals that threatened them in that area, so as long as no one from other areas came over, they would be safe.
But since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ye Zhizhi missed them and couldn't help but care about their current situation. He wished that the wolves could migrate here in the spring of next year.
Ye Zhizhi knew that this was not enough. She had to eliminate all conceivable potential dangers and turn this place into the most perfect habitat.
She quickly cheered herself up, got up and found something to do. It was easy to overthink when she was idle, but not when she was busy.
Ye Zhizhi strolled in the cave again. She had walked in this cave no less than ten times, and every corner was clearly remembered.
The exposed parts of the entire cave are basically solid rocks, and many of the half-buried and half-exposed rocks are many times larger than the wolf's body, making the cave not convenient for digging.
Ye Zhizhi finally turned his gaze to the cave where the spring was flowing.
A ray of light can be seen from this side of the cave, proving that it is at the outermost part of the cave.
Ye Zhizhi wanted to create another exit in the cave, so that there would be another way to survive.
The presence of a spring proved that there was underground water in this area. Furthermore, the water didn't flow into the canyon, but instead sank directly into the ground. She had no idea what was going on underground. If it was the same underground waterway that Da Mo had taken her and Xiao Hua through, then even if she dug a hole down to connect to the underground river, the wolf wouldn't be able to swim out.
It was already a rare talent for Yin Yi to be able to swim upstream in such a turbulent flood, but even he could not survive in such an underwater world, let alone other wolves whose swimming skills were not so good.
Ye Zhizhi raised his head and looked at the crack.
Now that crack has been covered by ice spikes, but from the light reflecting through the ice layer, it can be seen that it is not very thick.
She could turn around and see what was outside the gap.
Ye Zhizhi glanced around, then pushed the largest boulder that was casually piled in the corner under the ice crack.
This was before Xiaohua and the others moved in. They were very active. Ye Zhizhi wanted to pave the bottom of the water with stones, so he rolled in a lot of stones. But after the entire small waterway pool was paved, there were still several large stones left.
Ye Zhizhi just piled it up casually in the corner.
At that time, she didn't think of crawling out of the gap to take a look, but now it comes in handy.
Xiaohua and Daxiong, who could help move the stones, were hibernating, so Ye Zhizhi naturally would not disturb them, so he moved them himself. Fortunately, the stones only weighed two or three hundred kilograms.
Ye Zhizhi can handle it easily.
When exercising in the cave, she would not wear thick clothes, but only put on a fur vest, and then tie furs on her calves, thighs, arms and other parts of her body. This would keep her warm without affecting joint movement.
When it's really cold, just put on a fur cloak and that's enough.
People will adapt to the environment. Although the temperature outside is lower than that in the cave, the constant temperature in the cave is generally higher. She is becoming less and less afraid of the cold. The temperature that once froze her into an ice stick no longer affects her.
When Ye Zhizhi pushed the stones, her limbs were not restrained by her clothes, so she moved very quickly. She moved the largest stone to the bottom, then lifted up the smaller one and stacked it on top.
When Ye Zhizhi was moving a stone that was several times bigger than her, Yin thought that she had not come back for a long time, so he jumped off the stone and walked out. Soon he caught sight of the noise made by Ye Zhizhi.
When Yin Yi walked over, he saw Ye Zhizhi trying to stack the third stone on top, but she was not as tall as the second stone. She tried to support it by standing on tiptoe, but failed to put it on.
Yin Yisan took two or three steps and leaped over, with his hind legs stepping on the edge of the first stone and his front legs resting on Ye Zhizhi's little hand.
Ye Zhizhi's hands felt lighter, and when she raised her head, she saw only Yin Yi's furry belly. Then the third stone that she had not been able to stack for a long time was pushed up by Yin Yi.
"Oh~" Ye Zhizhi expressed his gratitude.
Yin Yi helped to stabilize the stone, stepped back and stood on the ground, tilted his head to look at her, his animal eyes expressing doubts, what is she doing?
Ye Zhizhi pointed at the gap and cried out twice, trying to see if he could get out from here!
She moved another relatively small stone, carried it on her shoulder with one hand, and asked Yin Yi to come and help her up.
Yin Yi came over, Ye Zhizhi stepped on Yin Yi's head, and with its help, put the fourth stone on it.
Four stones were stacked up, almost at the same distance from the gap. After Ye Zhizhi climbed up nimbly, he stepped on the top stone, which was still a short distance away from the gap.
Ye Zhizhi was not in a hurry. He stepped directly on the uneven rock wall and climbed up.
After reaching the crack in the ice, she took out her dagger and knocked on it. The ice, which had not yet become solid, was easily knocked open by her, and the sound of howling wind and snow came in instantly.
The temperature in the cave dropped instantly, but it was within Ye Zhizhi's tolerance range, so she ignored it and continued to knock the crack wider, then peeked out. She only took a few quick glances and quickly retracted.
It was quite cold, and my head almost froze.
Ye Zhizhi quickly jumped down, climbed onto Yin Yi's back, and buried his head in the warm fur.
Yin Yi carried her into the cave passage.
Ye Zhizhi's cold head slowly warmed up. Although it was just a few glances, she also saw the vast sky and the sloping rock wall in the wind and snow.
When looking up from the cave, it seemed that the crack was not big, but it was actually just a visual error. After Ye Zhizhi climbed up, he found that the width of the crack was actually enough for the wolves to get out.
This saved her a step.
The rocks and foliage along the rock face were already covered in snow. Ye Zhizhi had never been on this side before, so she had no idea what was happening outside. Cautiously, she decided not to climb out. She simply planned to wait until the ice and snow melted next year, then go out and familiarize herself with the terrain. Once she was sure she could walk and get out, she would lead the wolves on this trail a few more times to remind them that there was such a path.
Yin Yi carried Ye Zhizhi back to the cave, back to the grass nest on the boulder, then coiled up and held Ye Zhizhi against his belly, lowering his head to lick Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi nestled in Yin Yi's arms, pulled the animal skin blanket over himself, closed his eyes, and thought about what he was going to do before falling asleep.
Otherwise, how can we say that influence is mutual? Under Ye Zhizhi's influence, the wolves became much more lively. During the winter, they would come out from time to time to walk around and stretch their muscles.
Ye Zhizhi was also affected to the point that he could lie down and sleep at any time. It could be said that Ye Zhizhi spent half of the day sleeping. In such a comfortable environment, who wouldn't want to lie in a warm nest forever?
Heavy snow fell for more than a month, and Ye Zhizhi went to the cave entrance to look at the snow outside.
Because the entrance to the cave was surrounded by two ancient trees with intertwined branches and leaves, most of the snowflakes were blocked. The snow on the large area in front of the door was not thick. Ye Zhizhi walked out wearing a fur cloak and a fur hat, and the snow only reached her thighs.
Beyond the ancient trees, the snow was very deep. The narrow passage at the exit of the canyon was covered with snow, which was taller than her.
Ye Zhizhi stood at the door, looking at the pure white snow, and couldn't help feeling playful. She squatted down and started fiddling with it with her tightly wrapped hands.
She suddenly thought of making a snowman and became excited.
Ye Zhizhi has experienced so many winters, and the severe cold has always been a severe test that she must overcome. She has always taken it seriously, and her mind is only full of how to get through the winter safely, so she has never thought about playing in the snow.
Even if we were able to get out later, the snow was too thick and we would be buried if we were not careful.
The snow in front of the door is just right.
She excitedly pushed up the snow and then patted it.
The first thing Ye Zhizhi did was to make a snowman of Wolf Mother. She tried her best to make the image of Wolf Mother look majestic, majestic and beautiful.
Soon, the image of a snow wolf lying in the snow appeared.
Ye Zhizhi also specially found a stone with a similar eye color to the silver wolf and embedded it in the wolf's head. Then he looked at the newly-baked "wolf mother" with his eyes shining brightly.
Although it was different from the majestic and powerful wolf mother in her mind, and its body was chubby and a little childish, she had always thought that it was made by the wolf mother, and she felt some empathy towards this wolf made of snow, so she happily pounced on it and hugged it carefully.
“Ouch!”
Yin Yi walked out, looked around, then lowered his head and gently nudged Ye Zhizhi, his eyes revealing curiosity and desire.
Ye Zhizhi nodded immediately, but he still made a wolf king father next to him first, and then made Yin Yi's snow wolf.
She thought about it, and made a small snowman to represent herself. She placed it in front of the wolf mother and the wolf king father, leaning against the wolf mother as if she was hugging her.
While Ye Zhizhi was enthusiastically making a snowman, other wolves came out one after another. It was the first time for them to see something that could be played with snow, and they were very curious.
The shape of the snow pile looked like an animal, but no matter how smart they were, they could not imagine that Ye Zhizhi had piled it in the image of a wolf. It was not until Ye Zhizhi pointed to one of them and told Yin Yi that this was it that the other wolves' eyes lit up instantly.
Silver Gray immediately rubbed in front of Ye Zhizhi, whimpering coquettishly as he rubbed against her. He wanted this too!
Erzong and the others surrounded him. Although they didn't say anything, their bright vertical pupils showed that they wanted it too.
Ye Zhizhi waved her hand and said it was okay.
So when Ye Zhizhi was piling up snow on the side, the other wolves watched from the side. After watching, they took the initiative to help by pushing the snow from other places. When Ye Zhizhi was patting the snow pile, they also lay on the ground, stretched out their paw pads and patted along.
The wolves' active help allowed Ye Zhizhi to speed up, and even as he gained more experience, his speed became even faster.
Not only did she make a snow wolf to represent each of Silver and Little Gray, she also made one for Little Flower and Big Bear, and the other members of the wolf pack. Later, she made quite a few small snow wolves.
Within three days, the door was filled with more than 30 animals of all sizes, and it looked very lively.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the animals in the snow and raised her head proudly. Her hands turned red even through the animal skins, but so many animals were piled up by them, and she was the biggest contributor!
The wolves walked among the scattered snow wolves, as if admiring the results.
Ye Zhizhi watched the snowflakes walking in the snow. She rolled her eyes, scooped up a pile of snow and rolled them into balls. Then she threw them at Yin Yi, hitting his hindquarters accurately.
Yin turned around and looked at her in confusion.
Ye Zhizhi showed an innocent expression, and after Yin Yi turned his head, he grinned secretly.
The wolf didn't know that he could play snowball fights.
She squatted down, rolled up another snowball, and threw it at Xiaobai, who was closest to her and had his back to her, hitting him accurately on his hind legs.
Xiaobai turned around and tilted his head in confusion.
Ye Zhizhi continued to chuckle.
She rolled up another snowball and just raised her head to attack the next wolf, but Yin Yi, who had walked to her side at some point, waved his front paws calmly, and a pile of snow flew in her face, instantly burying Ye Zhizhi, who was squatting on the ground, into a little snowman.
Ye Zhizhi: "..." She wiped the snow off her face and eyes, and turned to look at Yin Yi.
Yin Yi looked down at her, slowly grinned, and his animal eyes were filled with smiles.
Ye Zhizhi immediately plunged his hands into the snow and waved at Yin Yi, causing the heavy snow to fly towards Yin Yi.
Yin Yi also continued to swing his front paws.
Suddenly, heavy snow fell.
Seeing this, the other wolves quickly ran over, their bodies filled with eagerness to try.
This is fun!
Then the flying snow became heavier and covered the sky and the ground.
Ye Zhizhi, who was buried instantly: "..."
It was a bad idea.
She couldn't beat him.
