145 Wilderness Survival
◎Could it be her sister's eyes?◎
Ye Zhizhi didn't know where Yin Yi had gone. She only saw Yin Yi appear in the evening of the next day.
For many days afterwards, Silver would disappear every now and then.
Two brown and three white are also elusive.
Ye Zhizhi knew they were all busy. She followed the wolf pack around for ten days and also "visited" the surrounding neighbors. Only then did she realize how bustling the area around them was.
Although they also wandered outside the territory when they were young, that area was generally considered the wolf pack's backyard. Although there were also predators hunting, in this area, the wolf pack was the absolute king.
It can be said that the hunting ranges of wolves and those powerful "neighbors" do not overlap, so they basically will not encounter each other.
When they went out to gain experience, they would run as fast as they could to faraway places as soon as they left the house, without paying any attention to the neighbors around them. Even if Ye Zhizhi looked for a way out in all directions, they would avoid places with strong auras.
However, not all of these neighbors are good-tempered and easy to get along with. If they accidentally cross the line, a warning is the least of their worries. In most cases, a fight may break out.
At least she had seen several times that wolves fought with these "neighbors".
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy. Ye Zhizhi felt that these fights were more like a test, to measure and assess the strength of each side. This way, both sides would have a basic understanding and know how to respond in the future.
Although they were called neighbors, their nests were actually quite far apart, at least three or four hills away. Even the wolf pack that Ye Zhizhi still had a deep impression of, the wolf king with red eyes, was considered their neighbor.
Ye Zhizhi really wanted to see them again, and it would be even better if they could make friends, but the wolves didn't run over there again, so they probably had been there.
She specially took Xiaohua to the hill over there for a walk, and even brought a deer she had hunted herself as a gift in return.
After doing this a few times, won’t you become familiar with each other?
But before she found the wolf king, she saw Yin Yi emerging from the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi was naturally very happy to see Yin Yi, whom he hadn't seen for several days, and instantly forgot the idea of making friends with the Wolf King.
I miss Yin Yi a lot. After Ye Zhizhi hugged him, he suddenly tilted his head, a little confused. Why did Yin Yi come here?
Yin Yi lowered his head and licked Ye Zhizhi, then lowered his body and let Ye Zhizhi sit on him. He then walked away slowly and soon ran quickly into the territory.
Hiss?
Xiaohua tilted her head, forgetting the prey she had left aside, and instantly chased after it, quickly disappearing into the jungle.
A recently dead deer lay forgotten beside a rock.
The leaves on the thin branches swayed slightly in the wind. In the silent jungle, a giant wolf appeared silently on the rock.
Ye Zhizhi sat on Yin Yi and suddenly looked back. She seemed to smell a strange smell, but also a faint familiar smell, but it quickly disappeared. Before she could think about it, she saw Xiaohua catching up.
Xiaohua's snake head hissed and stretched out its head. Ye Zhizhi reached out and touched it, and Xiaohua happily retracted its head.
Yin Yi did not take Ye Zhizhi back to the territory, but took her to the top of a nearby mountain.
It always remembered that the wolf girl liked to stand on a high place and look out.
There are no tall trees around the top of the mountain to block the view, and the wind is quite strong, making a rustling sound.
Ye Zhizhi's unruly hair was blown up. She took out a piece of snakeskin from the snakeskin bag, folded it in half, covered her head with it and tied a knot under her chin, making her face look smaller.
Ye Zhizhi slid down skillfully and stood on the ground, then looked up at Yin Yi beside her. It was rare that Yin Yi would take the initiative to take her to see the scenery. In the past, she had to call him.
"Awooo—" Ye Zhizhi looked up at Yin Yi. It had only been two days since they last met, but for some reason, he felt that Yin Yi's overall appearance had improved, and he looked even more majestic, as if he had truly grown into a steady and reliable brother.
Could it be her sister's eyes?
Ye Zhizhi always felt that something was wrong. She walked around Yin Yi twice, looking at him with a scrutinizing look.
Yin Yi stood on all fours, with his wolf head slightly raised and his wolf tail slightly swung, looking contented.
Ye Zhizhi tilted her head. Brother Wolf was indeed a little different. She felt strange, but couldn't find the clue.
Could it be because Brother Wolf hadn't stayed with her every moment since she came back? But that was normal. Brother Wolf had his own things to do. Even when they were little, he would often leave her and Erzong and the others to run out and play, never wanting to return.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and looked at the scenery around him.
She had been in the jungle for a long time, but occasionally when she went to a place with a wide view to see the scenery, her heart would be broadened a lot.
Yin Yi looked down at the quiet wolf girl and saw that even though she had covered her head, there was still long hair sticking out from inside, fluttering mischievously in the wind.
It raised its paw high and pressed it down, pressing the tuft of hair onto the little shoulder, causing the unsuspecting Ye Zhizhi to tilt his body and almost fall to the side.
Ye Zhizhi finally stood firm and looked up at it quietly.
Yin Yi's claws were still raised, but when he saw the wolf girl's reaction, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he silently put down his claws and looked away as if nothing had happened.
Ye Zhizhi: “…” I just praised it for being mature and stable, can’t it last a little longer?
***
Ye Zhizhi was still thinking about finding Big Bear. She remembered the way to Big Bear's territory, and if she hurried, she could stay there for a few days, which was more than enough time. But she was reluctant to part with Wolf Mom, so she simply encouraged Wolf Mom to come out with her.
Silver Wolf could never resist her request, and finally agreed to go out for a walk with Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi's face flushed with excitement. This was her first time going on a "trip" with Wolf Mom! She was even more excited than going on an adventure with Yin Yi!
Ye Zhizhi kidnapped the wolf mother, so the wolf king father would naturally follow her. The other wolves saw this and followed silently. In the end, Ye Zhizhi took a large group of wolf elders to "travel", and the younger ones were all left in the territory by Yin Yi.
Ye Zhizhi avoided the aggrieved and resentful looks of Xiao Hui and the others, and looked up at the sky silently. She didn't know that it would turn out like this in the end.
No one could disobey the Wolf King's orders, and in the end, a group of young wolves could only watch these wolf elders take Ye Zhizhi away.
Ye Zhizhi sat on the wolf mother's back, her spirits were always high. If she had known that this would bring out the Wolf King, she would have taken them to the canyon territory a long time ago. Now there was not enough time, so she could only postpone it.
Ye Zhizhi had no regrets at all. Although she hadn't shown Wolf King Dad and the others this year, she had found something good! Next year, next year, she would definitely bring Wolf Mom and the others out.
After this time, will the second time be far behind?
Ye Zhizhi had a clear purpose for this trip, so he didn't waste any time on the way and ran towards the big bear's territory almost day and night.
The big bear is not particularly far from the wolf pack's territory, and can be said to be a neighbor three neighbors away.
The wolf ran very fast, and it took only ten days or so to reach the cave where they had temporarily settled.
There were two more predators in the cave. When they met, they started fighting. In the end, the two predators became food for the wolves.
Ye Zhizhi also brought a full jar of honey, which she had specially reserved.
Wolves don't like food that is too sweet. Ye Zhizhi thought of the unforgettable toothache. Moreover, she is still in the teething period. If she eats too much, she will get toothache and cavities, which will not be worth it.
Although Big Bear had seen wolves before and remembered their scent, he still felt it was unpleasant to have such a large group of wolves rushing to his house. Ye Zhizhi asked Wolf Mother and the others to walk around the area while she and Xiaohua went over.
Ye Zhizhi was familiar with the place. She had been to the big bear's lair, so she led the way for Xiaohua, who had never been there.
The golden sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the dense forest, forming clusters of mottled light, which refracted into tiny rays of light among the leaves.
The forest's outlines softened by the light, its gently swaying green leaves interweaving in the light and shadow. The small animals in the forest bustled about, and the forest seemed to have become more vibrant.
Ye Zhizhi's mood became even more joyful when she saw this warm jungle picture. However, she had not walked for long, and before she officially stepped into the big bear's territory, her footsteps suddenly stopped.
wrong--
Hiss? Xiaohua also noticed something unusual, but didn't react for a moment.
There was a strange smell near the big bear's territory, and it smelled very strong.
Ye Zhizhi raised his head slightly and sniffed around. From the information brought by the air, he could distinguish a strong and unfamiliar fishy smell. It was an unfamiliar male bear.
If it was the scent of a female bear, Ye Zhizhi would have thought that the big bear was making friends and looking for a mate, but this was the scent of a very aggressive male bear.
In the jungle, the competition among animals is very fierce.
Prey, water, territory... In order to compete for various resources, the fighting is usually very fierce.
Ye Zhizhi's heart suddenly felt heavy.
Is there a male bear eyeing the giant bear's territory? Have they already confronted each other? Has there been a fight? Who won? Who lost?
If there wasn't the scent of the big bear near the territory, Ye Zhizhi would probably have thought that the big bear had met with an accident.
Ye Zhizhi could feel that the scent of the strange male bear had just faded, and it was obvious that he had left not long ago.
But she was still very cautious and entered the big bear's territory carefully.
The closer they got to the territory, the stronger the smell of the male bear became. Unexpectedly, the male bear entered the big bear's territory!
Ye Zhizhi only smelled the scent of a strange bear, and thought that in a one-on-one fight, the big bear should not be defeated.
Ye Zhizhi kept analyzing the situation and ran quickly towards the big bear's cave.
"roar--"
Before they saw any trace of the big bear, they heard its angry roar, which shook the mountains and forests.
Ye Zhizhi could hear the bear's weakness from its roar.
Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua both quickened their pace and ran towards the source of the sound.
At the edge of the jungle, two majestic male bears with thick hair stood face to face. They were so huge that the ground shook with every step they took.
With low and powerful roars, the big bear and the male bear ran towards each other quickly. The big bear suddenly jumped up, opened its huge paws, and pounced on the male bear.
The male bear was not willing to be outdone, and also waved his sharp claws to fight back.
The collision between the two giant beasts made a loud noise, and the surrounding trees were shaking.
Their claws and teeth tore at each other, their dark fur becoming matted and tangled in the struggle. The deep scratches and bloody holes on their bodies became more and more numerous, and soon the ground was stained with bloodstains. They did not retreat at all, their eyes still fierce, attacking each other with all their might.
When Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua arrived, the big bear was already at a disadvantage. Seeing that the male bear had found a flaw, it suddenly kicked the ground, leaped high into the air, and landed heavily on the big bear's back, opening its mouth wide to reveal its sharp teeth, ready to bite the big bear's neck.
"roar--"
Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua moved at the same time.
Xiaohua swung her thick and long tail, and Ye Zhizhi jumped suddenly, leaping onto the male bear's back and shoulder in a few seconds, then stabbed the dagger in her hand into one of the male bear's eyes.
"roar!!!"
The big bear also found an opportunity to fight back. It pounced on the beast with a roar, bared its huge fangs, and bit it.
Ye Zhizhi also seized the opportunity, avoided the huge force of the bear's paw, jumped onto the big bear's shoulder in a few steps, then ran away quickly, looking for another opportunity to continue to kill.
Xiaohua's tail hit the male bear's back hard.
With the addition of Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua, the battle situation was reversed instantly. The male bear was immediately surrounded and beaten by them. Finally, the big bear found an opportunity and bit off his throat.
As the howls continued, the male bear could not withstand the fatal blow. It roared and rolled over, but still could not break free. Its dying howls gradually weakened, and finally it fell to the ground powerlessly.
The huge male bear fell to the ground motionless, with blood flowing out of its throat. Ye Zhizhi was afraid that it was not dead yet, so he quickly stabbed it in the throat again. After making sure that it was really dead, he looked at the big bear.
The big bear's whole body was bleeding. It gasped, then stood up tall, beat its chest and roared, its deep and loud voice echoing throughout the entire forest.
After declaring victory, Big Bear suddenly fell down as if he had lost all his strength.
“Ahhh!”
Ye Zhizhi thought that the big bear was at the end of his strength, so he rushed forward with a roar.
Then he saw the big bear lying on the ground, trying to turn his head to look at Ye Zhizhi.
The ferocity in Daxiong's eyes had not yet faded, and he smiled at Ye Zhizhi foolishly.
Ye Zhizhi saw that although the big bear was bleeding profusely, his condition was not fatal and his breathing was still strong, so he finally let go of his worries.
If Ye Zhizhi hadn't seen the wounds all over its body, he would have hit it with a palm to stop it from scaring him.
She quickly checked the wounds and found that the big bear had many wounds, both new and old. She saw a torn wound that was slightly festering. It was obvious that the wound had been there for a long time but had not healed well.
Ye Zhizhi immediately took out the medicine powder from the snakeskin bag and quickly sprinkled it on the serious wound. As for the festering wound, the pus had to be cleaned up first before applying the medicine.
Ye Zhizhi asked Xiaohua to roll the big bear back to the cave, and he went back to the edge of the jungle, retrieved the honey, picked it up, and then went into the cave behind it.
In her haste to fight, she casually dropped the fruit shell containing honey on the ground. Fortunately, she was smart enough to wrap it with snake skin so that it did not spill out.
Big Bear's cave still smells strong and looks messy.
After Xiaohua dragged the big bear into the cave, she quickly crawled out.
When the big bear smelled the honey on Ye Zhizhi's hand, his eyes lit up immediately, and even though he was still weak, he roared eagerly.
It hasn't eaten honey for a long time.
I haven't had time to look for honey lately because I've been trying to protect my territory! I also wanted to do the wolf cub a favor, so I brought it so much honey.
Seeing the greedy look on Big Bear's face, Ye Zhizhi knew that it had suffered a lot recently, so she handed the honey to Big Bear.
After the big bear took it, he immediately peeled off the snake skin that sealed the opening and couldn't wait to lick it.
Ye Zhizhi checked the bear's wound and found it had a strange smell. If an animal's wound became infected, it would be difficult to cure. The only option was to let the wound rot and eventually die of the infection.
Ye Zhizhi brought some hay from the cave and some dry branches and leaves from outside. She built a fire at the entrance and roasted the dagger over it.
“Ahhh——”
Ye Zhizhi patted the big bear, motioned it to move out, and told it that he wanted to treat its injuries.
There was still sweet honey in Big Bear's mouth, and he looked at Ye Zhizhi with eyes full of trust.
But Ye Zhizhi knew that scraping the rotten flesh would be very painful, so she asked Xiaohua to come over and wrap up the big bear's body. She was worried that the big bear would lose control of its instinctive attack in the severe pain.
Ye Zhizhi had never studied medicine and didn't know how to treat wounds specifically. He just relied on his half-baked knowledge to deal with them.
After burning the dagger to disinfect it, she walked around to the back of the bear and quickly scraped the wound on its waist.
“Ouch!!!”
The intense pain made the big bear roar instinctively. It was in so much pain that it didn't even bother to eat the honey in its hand, and its expression was ferocious.
But the big bear knew that the wolf cub was treating its wound for its own good, and no matter how painful it was, it was mindful not to attack the wolf cub.
The big bear hugged the nut shell tightly and kept roaring. His body was shaking violently in pain, but he still forced himself not to move.
Ye Zhizhi thought that a short pain is worse than a long one, so he handled the situation quickly. Even though the big bear kept roaring, he did not show any mercy.
After all the festering, rotten and rotten flesh in the wound was scraped clean and bright red blood was flowing out, Ye Zhizhi quickly sprinkled several thick layers of medicine powder on it.
The big bear lay on its side, still roaring loudly.
After noticing that Ye Zhizhi had fixed it, it turned its head to look at its palm-sized wound. The bleeding had slowly stopped and the unpleasant odor had disappeared, so it continued to lick the honey.
It hurts so much, it needs to eat something sweet to calm down.
When Ye Zhizhi saw Daxiong's reaction, she was both angry and amused.
Forget it, I'm glad everything's okay.
She raised her hands to wipe the sweat from her forehead, but saw that her hands were covered in blood, sticky and smelled rotten, so she quickly ran to the stream in the big bear's territory to wash herself.
When the big bear saw Ye Zhizhi running out, it subconsciously wanted to follow him out. Ye Zhizhi noticed it and immediately roared back, preventing it from moving.
The big bear lay down instantly and didn't move, continuing to eat honey in his mouth.
Ye Zhizhi treated the wounds, making himself look very embarrassed. Xiaohua also came out and climbed into the water.
Xiaohua is also a delicate snake. Since she started hanging out with Ye Zhizhi, she often takes a bath in the water to clean her body, and she is always clean every day.
Ye Zhizhi was still worried about the big bear, so he quickly cleaned himself up and returned to the cave.
It was obvious that Daxiong still listened to Ye Zhizhi's words. When she told him not to move, he did not move. After Ye Zhizhi came back, Daxiong still maintained the same action.
After Ye Zhizhi saw that its wound had stopped bleeding, he let it move and lie down inside.
Daxiong didn't know whether it was because his most serious injury had been treated or because he had eaten the honey, but his condition was much better than before. Although he was still lying down, he still had the energy to interact with Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua.
The big bear was very excited when he saw the wolf cub and Xiaohua coming to find him.
It had originally wanted to continue looking for the wolf cubs to play after the winter. After all, after getting along with the wolf cubs, the days of being alone as a bear became very boring. Big Bear, like Little Flower, liked to stay with the wolf cubs very much and do some strange things every day. Although it was sometimes confused and didn't understand, it was still much more interesting than when it was alone.
However, before the big bear went to find Ye Zhizhi, he noticed that a strange male bear appeared near his territory.
The bear's sense of territory is as strong as that of the wolf. When it realized that the other party was not friendly, many conflicts arose and it no longer cared to come out to look for the wolf cubs.
This stray male bear is no weaker than Nobita. Originally, the two bears were equally strong, but after both were injured, the male bear's wound did not worsen, while the big bear's wound did not improve for a long time, and the gap in strength between them gradually widened.
Wounds that don't heal for a long time will become more and more serious, causing the big bear to become weaker and weaker day by day.
If it weren't for this, Big Bear wouldn't have been defeated so easily.
Now seeing the wolf cub coming to find it, the big bear howled energetically for a while, then lay down and fell asleep.
Even though there was a wolf cub and a snake in its territory, the big bear still slept peacefully, which showed its trust in them.
Ye Zhizhi paid attention to Daxiong's wound from time to time. She was still worried. She didn't know whether the wound would continue to fester. After all, she knew that her treatment was not professional at all.
Ye Zhizhi simply went to get some fresh herbs, crushed them and applied them directly.
She looked at the big bear who had been sleeping soundly without waking up, and thought to herself, it was a good thing that she came this time, otherwise the big bear would have left the world quietly without her knowing.
Ye Zhizhi thought, maybe this was an intuition.
She always missed Daxiong inexplicably, thinking that she hadn't seen him for a long time, and now that she had time, she came to see him.
Unexpectedly, he saved the big bear's life.
Fortunately they came.
Ye Zhizhi went to inform the wolves and told them that he would be staying in the big bear's cave for the time being.
Ye Zhizhi was worried.
This kind of struggle for territory is not unique and will happen again and again. This time they arrived in time to help defeat the invaders, but what about next time?
Ye Zhizhi thought of the time a few years ago when the wolf pack was suddenly attacked.
Living in the jungle, such things are inevitable. Wolves have tribes and can help each other. Xiaohua and Daxiong are alone, one snake and one bear. Once they are attacked, they can only rely on themselves to win. If they lose, at best they will lose their territory, and at worst they will even lose their lives.
Ye Zhizhi suddenly had an idea: if Xiaohua and Daxiong were neighbors of the wolf pack, wouldn’t they be able to help each other?
Ye Zhizhi believed that the interspecies friendship she had fostered would not fade with her departure. She thought of the bad-tempered neighbors in her pack's territory, and that the wolves would probably be more willing to get along with them in a friendly manner.
But such an operation is neither difficult nor easy.
Ye Zhizhi still remembered that there were many treasures in Xiaohua's nest, and even Daxiong should have some good things.
Ye Zhizhi thought of the fruit that Daxiong had given her to eat and nodded affirmatively.
The only thing missing is the wolf's territory.
If they were to be neighbors, it would be impossible for Xiaohua and Daxiong to give up such a good territory, and the new territory that Ye Zhizhi found for the wolves was a million miles away from here.
No... Ye Zhizhi remembered that the canyon territory was not far from Xiaohua's territory. If they hurried, it would only take less than ten days to get there. If Xiaohua took the underground river and followed the water system, the time would be even shorter.
If Big Bear finds a new territory between the canyon territory and Little Flower's territory... then it will only take a few days for the wolf pack to reach Big Bear's territory, and it will only take a few days to travel between Big Bear and Little Flower. If they run day and night, the time will be even shorter.
This is not a long distance for animals.
If there is any unexpected situation, it is easy to warn each other.
Ye Zhizhi’s idea was perfect, but he was not sure if it would work.
She sighed silently.
I was born to worry. I just worried about the wolf pack and now I have to worry about my friends.
Fortunately, she didn't know many animals after going back and forth.
Ye Zhizhi had these thoughts in her mind, but she didn't express them immediately. While she was paying attention to the bear's injuries, she also helped clean up its cave.
It still needs to be clean, it looks comfortable and is better for healing.
Fortunately, the big bear had good physical resistance and recovery ability. The most serious wound did not fester again, and the other wounds also recovered well. Ye Zhizhi forced him to rest in the cave for a few days, and he soon became full of energy.
Seeing Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua going out for a walk, he wanted to follow them even though his injuries had not yet fully healed.
Seeing the big bear's excited look, which seemed unaffected by the wound, Ye Zhizhi softened her heart and let it follow.
