147 Wilderness Survival
◎Where did Yinyi steal the wolf cub from? ! ! ◎
Although there was a minor incident in the middle, Ye Zhizhi also realized a serious problem.
Dangers are everywhere in the mountains. If she is suddenly attacked while walking with the package, she may not be able to react quickly.
It was not possible to carry the package like this outside, so Ye Zhizhi thought of a new way. He made a raft, fixed the package firmly on the raft, tied a few vines to it, and hung it directly on his shoulders to pull it along.
The obvious drawback to this method is that if the ground is uneven, the package will bounce around as it's dragged. However, if it's tied securely and doesn't jump out, then it shouldn't be a big problem.
Ye Zhizhi set out again. This time, no accidents happened. She dragged the raft forward, and after it was smooth, she tried to run, and the package behind her was also bouncing.
She has chosen a new direction. She will take the same road she took last year and then branch off in another direction. She has not yet fully explored that area.
Ye Zhizhi was still thinking about the magical fruit tree, so she decided to see if it would grow again this year. She also wanted to get back the package she left there.
Ye Zhizhi came out of the wolf pack's territory along the same route she had taken last year. The road was quite smooth, but later on she felt that the package was really hindering her speed, so she simply picked it up, put the raft on her head, and ran quickly.
She rested for another night in the place where she had spent the night before, and set off again early the next morning. Halfway through the journey, she smelled a very familiar scent.
At first, Ye Zhizhi thought it was an illusion caused by the dream she had last night about Brother Wolf and other wolves. She raised her head and sniffed, and the scent that Yin Yi did not deliberately hide was getting closer and closer, and she was sure that she was not mistaken.
She thought that Brother Wolf had a conscience and came to say goodbye to her because he knew she was leaving. She forgave Brother Wolf for his elusiveness during this period.
Ye Zhizhi stood there waiting for Yin Yi's arrival.
However, as Yin Yi got closer, Ye Zhizhi also smelled a strange, young breath approaching. Before she could remember what it was, she saw a giant silver wolf suddenly leap out from the high roots of a tree not far away.
The silver wolf's silver fur flashed brilliantly as it passed through the light beam in the jungle.
“Ouch—Ouch? Ouch!!!”
Ye Zhizhi's mood was full of twists and turns.
At that time, she stood on the rock, looking at the oncoming silver wolf. She put her hands on her hips, ready to call out the culprit, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw that Yin Yi had something small in his mouth. She subconsciously asked.
The tiny animal's soft fur was the same color as silver, and if she didn't have good eyesight, she wouldn't have been able to tell it was there.
When she saw clearly what was in Yin Yi's mouth, she screamed in surprise.
Yin Yi held a little wolf cub in its mouth, howling!
Ye Zhizhi's pupils trembled. Where did Yin Yi steal the wolf cub from? ! !
Ye Zhizhi was so shocked that his brain stopped working and he stared at Yin Yi, unable to react in any other way.
Yin Yi had already walked in front of Ye Zhizhi. He opened his mouth and the little wolf cub fell down in front of Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi caught it subconsciously, then held the small and soft wolf cub tightly in his arms.
Ye Zhizhi glared at Yin Yi warily. This wolf cub thief, Yin Yi, actually wanted her to be in cahoots with him! How old was this wolf cub? Was it only a month old? He was stealing it away from its mother? She was determined not to—
“Ouch~”
A grandmother's tender, baby-like voice rang out, as if a small feather gently tickled her heart. Ye Zhizhi lowered her head, and the round little head of the wolf cub in her arms poked its head out, then slowly opened its eyes.
The animal's eyes were like rubies, clear and innocent, yet a little curious.
Two pairs of childish eyes looked at each other.
The little wolf cub moved closer to Ye Zhizhi. Its round head and pink nose sniffed around without a trace of fear. Perhaps because it smelled the familiar and friendly scent of Ye Zhizhi, it lay in Ye Zhizhi's arms with great peace of mind.
Ye Zhizhi was stunned for a moment. She immediately thought of the wolf king with beautiful red eyes whom she had never had the chance to see again.
She reacted immediately, her heart pounding. What Yin Yi stole was actually the cub of the wolf king next door!!!
"Woo--" The little wolf cub called for his grandma, and his two fat, short little paws moved and pressed against Ye Zhizhi's heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ye Zhizhi only felt that the two soft little pads were stepping directly on her heart, and her heartbeat accelerated instantly.
The little wolf cub seemed curious about what was jumping violently under its claws. It stepped on it with its fleshy little paws, and the short round wolf tail emerged from between Ye Zhizhi's fingers, swinging back and forth.
I’m so cute!
How can there be a cub so cute!
Ye Zhizhi was dizzy, she was intoxicated by the milk and thought in a very unprincipled way, this thing is so cute, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand why it was stolen.
Yin Yi looked down at the two cubs who were getting along harmoniously, and swung his wolf tail.
Wait! Ye Zhizhi finally woke up. She took a closer look and saw that the wolf cub's soft fur was silver! Exactly the same as Yin Yiyi's!
Ye Zhizhi still remembers what Yin Yi looked like when he was a child. When the little wolf cub grows up a little, he will be a replica of Yin Yi.
Similarly, the wolf cub also looks like its mother...
Ye Zhizhi raised his head stiffly and looked at Yin Yi with a frown.
This is... Yinyi's cub? ?!
Ye Zhizhi was shocked again.
She couldn't believe it.
Although he knew rationally that Yin Yi had already grown up, because they grew up together, Ye Zhizhi always treated them as the same age, and psychologically still felt that they were as young as himself.
Ye Zhizhi counted on her fingers and realized that Yin Yi had already become a father when she was still an elementary school student! She felt even more dizzy and stared at Yin Yi with wide eyes, trying to find out what was different about him.
Yin Yi held his head high and chest out, looking very proud, and swung his thick and long wolf tail leisurely.
Ye Zhizhi felt it was unbelievable and didn't feel real at all.
The following formula kept flashing in her mind.
Yinyi = Wolf Dad
Yinyi has a cub!
This is her first nephew!
Ye Zhizhi's face, which still had baby fat, was full of kindness. She picked him up and looked at him again and again.
Woo woo woo, this is the wolf girl she has always dreamed of.
Although she is not a wolf sister, but a wolf niece.
She had said it many times, waiting for the Wolf Mother and the Wolf King Father to give birth to a wolf cub. However, she had been waiting for many years, but in the end, the Wolf King Father and the Wolf Mother never had any wolf cubs. Over the years, they only had her and Yin Yi.
Unexpectedly, Yin Yi brought back a little female wolf cub that she had been longing for.
The little wolf cub seemed to have had enough fun, then curled up, closed his eyes and continued to sleep soundly, his round and chubby little body bulging up and down.
Ye Zhizhi's heart melted when she saw this.
Wait—she reacted again.
She had always regretted not being able to make friends with the Wolf King she had been missing for so long, but she didn't know when she was hooked up with Yin Yi...
In other words, that was her wolf sister-in-law!
Ye Zhizhi simply wanted to beat Yin Yi to pieces.
He was so tight-lipped that he didn't reveal any information and didn't even think about taking her to see Wolf Sister.
If Yin Yi knew the resentment in Ye Zhizhi's heart, he would definitely reply with confidence. Hadn't he seen it before?
In Yin Yi's mind, the previous time Ye Zhizhi and his partner met was considered a meeting.
What's more, from an animal's perspective, there is no such thing as meeting the parents.
Animals may form pairs or partnerships with their own kind, but this is based on their instinctive need for survival and reproduction. Of course, that doesn't mean animals lack affection. From Ye Zhizhi's observations, while animals may not understand what love is, many are loyal to their chosen partners. At least in her opinion, wolf packs with partners are very loyal and protective of each other.
The so-called "meeting the parents" is a cultural phenomenon unique to human society. Animals do not have this habit and do not have this awareness.
Ye Zhizhi thought about it and felt that he could not ask Yin Yi from a human perspective.
She suddenly felt calmer. Now that she thought about it, she realized there were still many clues. Yin Yi had been missing all day from last year to this year, but she had thought that Yin Yi was always busy. It turned out that he was just dating.
Ye Zhizhi had seen Yin Yi twice before near Wolf Sister's territory. It was because she did not think deeply about it, otherwise she would have noticed Yin Yi's abnormality earlier and would not have realized it so late.
She never expected that Yin Yi would give her such a big scare.
But after the shock, there was a surprise.
Ye Zhizhi was holding the bubbling little wolf cub in her arms, feeling very touched that Yin Yi had specially brought the little wolf cub to see her.
However, thinking about how Yinyi had been carrying the wolf cub so simply and roughly all the way here, she felt that Yinyi was not reliable.
Ye Zhizhi was worried about letting them go back like this, and after just a short while, she couldn't bear to let the little wolf go. So Ye Zhizhi, who had just left the den for less than two days, had no choice but to go back with them.
Ye Zhizhi asked Yin Yi to carry the package while she carried the wolf cub back.
Ye Zhizhi looked down at the wolf cub, curled up in a ball and sound asleep, its soft fur swaying slightly in the wind. She was worried the cub would catch a cold; it was so small, having barely left its den, that she could hold it in her arms.
Ye Zhizhi took out a piece of snake skin from the snake skin bag and wrapped the wolf cub to block the mountain wind blowing in his face.
The silver wolf bit the vine in its mouth and trotted after it, dragging the package with it. Seeing the wolf sister holding the little wolf cub, reluctant to let go, it shook its furry tail with great pride.
It knew that the wolf girl loved the cubs very much.
After taking a closer look, Ye Zhizhi discovered some scratches under Yin Yi's fur, which seemed to be made by the claws of other wolves. Ye Zhizhi thought that Yin Yi was now a wolf with a partner, so she pretended not to see the interest between partners.
However, Ye Zhizhi thought of a serious problem.
If Yin Yi is with another wolf king, doesn't that mean he's going to come to my house?!
The wolf king's sister-in-law was so powerful that she would definitely not leave her pack for Yin Yi. Yin Yi was the most powerful of the younger generation of their pack, and in the eyes of all the wolves, Yin Yi would be the next wolf king.
Everyone has high hopes for it, so you can see that when the wolf pack is raising the next generation, they all focus on Yinyi.
Of course, based on her understanding of the Wolf King, she would focus on training the strongest young wolf, and it was not just because Yin Yi was his bloodline.
In this case, once Yin arrives, won’t their tribe have to train the next wolf king from scratch?
Ye Zhizhi thought that the tribe was usually led by the wolf king and his mate. Her wolf sister-in-law was also the wolf king, and her wolf brother was the next wolf king. It seemed like her wolf brother would come to the door.
Ye Zhizhi shook his head and said, "No, Brother Wolf will not abandon the tribe easily."
Will the two groups merge?
Ye Zhizhi thought about it and realized that the number of people in their tribe was already medium, and the number of Sister Wolf's tribe was no less than this. After this merger, it would become a super large tribe.
Based on her understanding of this forest, she knew that it was simply not capable of supporting such a large group of people.
Unless they migrate to the canyon caves to survive.
This is the ideal state.
But for some reason, Ye Zhizhi always felt that things would not go according to her ideal plan.
Perhaps, neither Sister Wolf nor Yin Yi had any idea of merging.
If the tribe stayed here, it wouldn't be a big deal for Yinyi and his partner to lead the tribe separately. After all, the two territories were technically neighbors, and they could help each other.
Not all animal partners stay together, like Uncle Scar and Aunt Wolf.
Aunt Wolf might not come back for two or three years, but Scar never complained.
But in this case, the ethnic group may not be able to migrate.
Ye Zhizhi was very conflicted.
According to her cognitive analysis, even if the tribe does not move away for the time being, they will move away in the future.
This territory is becoming less and less suitable for survival. Over time, even prey will become increasingly scarce. The scarcity of plants will also make it increasingly difficult to raise prey.
Ye Zhizhi kept thinking, trying to find the best solution. At the same time, she ran towards the territory of Sister Wolf, holding the little wolf cub.
Ye Zhizhi almost felt like her thoughts were in a tangle. She didn't know much about the situation, so she simply stopped thinking about it and focused on getting on with her journey.
Fortunately, Ye Zhizhi didn't walk very far. She walked faster and didn't rest along the way. By the evening, she saw Sister Wolf's territory.
Ye Zhizhi seemed tireless and quickened his pace.
When Yin Yi saw Ye Zhizhi running straight towards that familiar direction, he hurried to stop him.
"Awooo——" Wolf sister, wrong way, wrong way. Should be back to your own territory.
When Ye Zhizhi understood Yin Yi's meaning, he tilted his head in confusion.
The little wolf cub is still so young and depends on its mother. She has already seen it, so naturally she has to send it back quickly.
Although Ye Zhizhi was very reluctant to leave, and was even wondering whether Sister Wolf would welcome her as a guest, she didn't mind being a guest for a year or two. By then, the wolf cubs would have grown up, and she could bring them out to experience and play together.
However, Yin Yi said that this was their baby and there was no need to send it back.
Yin Yi pushed Ye Zhizhi, then simply bent down, motioned Ye Zhizhi to get on his back, and then he carried them back to the den together.
Ye Zhizhi didn't move, but glared at Yin Yi.
This wolf father is so ignorant. The little wolf cubs who have not left the den can't live without their wolf mother.
The little wolf cub slept almost the entire day, and now he woke up whimpering, and was already looking for milk to drink.
There is no female wolf giving birth to cubs in their tribe, so where does the milk come from for the cubs to drink?
Ye Zhizhi howled fiercely at this unreliable wolf father.
Yin folded his ears, turned his head to look at Ye Zhizhi, then looked at the little wolf cub. Perhaps it was because his belated fatherly love was awakened, but he finally changed direction.
Yin Yi knew the direction better than Ye Zhizhi and also knew the tribe’s territory, so he led the way.
Not long after, Ye Zhizhi felt the unfamiliar scent of wolves. It was obvious that they had entered the wolf pack's warning range.
However, no wolves came out to stop them from going deeper. Instead, they felt that some wolves were hiding in the dark and following them around, while some wolves ran away quickly, probably going back to report the news.
The silver wolf looked leisurely and was not worried at all about being attacked by a group of people.
Ye Zhizhi relaxed a little. It seemed that Yin Yi had a lot of reputation among his partner's clan.
As a result, not long after, as the smell of unfamiliar wolves around him increased, Ye Zhizhi soon saw a giant wolf suddenly appear in front of him. It stood high on the rock, and its pair of scarlet eyes looked at him coldly.
After the Red Wolf King appeared, the surrounding wolves also revealed their tracks and surrounded Ye Zhizhi and Yin.
Before Ye Zhizhi had the chance to greet Sister Wolf, he saw the ill intentions of the newcomer and silently approached Yin Yi.
The Red Wolf King stared at Yin Yi with his beastly eyes and let out a low growl from his throat. Yin Yi flicked his tail and walked forward.
The next moment, the Red Wolf King jumped up and pounced directly at Yin Yi, attacking it with its fangs and sharp claws.
Yin Yi whimpered and dodged without daring to fight back.
Seeing this, Ye Zhizhi, who had been subconsciously following Yin Yi, quickly moved away.
She took back what she had said before, and Yin Yi didn't look very proud.
The little wolf cub in her arms smelled the familiar scent of its wolf mother and cried out like a baby.
When the Red Wolf King heard the cub's call, it seemed to awaken its maternal love, so it stopped attacking and then walked towards Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi stared at the Red Wolf King without blinking, grinning ingratiatingly.
Hello, Sister Wolf~
The Red Wolf King sniffed Ye Zhizhi's scent, then lowered his body slightly.
Ye Zhizhi understood instantly and quickly climbed up holding the little wolf cub.
After Ye Zhizhi sat firmly, the Red Wolf King carried her back to the nest.
Yin Yi wanted to follow, but was surrounded by other wolves.
They received the king's order not to let Yin Yi in.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head to look at Yin Yi who was driven out of the territory by the wolf pack. He felt sympathy for a second, and then happily observed the surrounding environment.
This was her first time visiting another wolf pack's territory! Ye Zhizhi observed carefully and found that the wolf pack's territory had much better green plants and small animals than theirs. At least there were small animals living in their territory, and they were not deliberately kept in captivity like theirs.
Ye Zhizhi secretly made a comparison in her mind. This comparison made their tribe's territory seem even more barren. Fortunately, they still had a canyon territory that was better than here as a fallback.
The Red Wolf King directly carried Ye Zhizhi and the little wolf cub back to the cave. Ye Zhizhi noticed that the cave was also very spacious, and there was groundwater flowing out of the ground near the cave, forming a stream.
Ye Zhizhi looked around curiously.
The scent of strange wolves was very strong in the cave. There were not only caves within caves, but also several forks in the road and a large flat area. The lighting was also very good. Even though it was not completely dark outside, there was still some light in the cave.
After the Red Wolf King returned to his den, he crouched down and lay on his side in the den.
Ye Zhizhi landed quickly.
The red wolf king's den was in a spacious and dry highland in the cave. She also saw a small wolf cub in the soft grass den.
It had the same dark brown fur as the Red Wolf King, but its pupils were the same golden color as Yin Yi's. Because it was still small, its eyes were round and big. It was also not afraid of strangers and ran to Ye Zhizhi's feet with its round little body, sniffing the air and making a baby whimpering sound, as if asking who she was.
Ye Zhizhi squatted down, put the little wolf cub down from his arms, and then reached out to touch it tentatively.
Seeing that the little wolf cub didn't reject her, she quickly held it in her arms and rubbed her little face against the soft, fleshy little chin.
They are actually two wolf cubs. How amazing are they? Their fur is the same as Yin Yi Lang Sao's, and their pupil colors are directly swapped. They are both equally beautiful!
This one is the wolf nephew.
I just don't know who is older and who is younger.
Ye Zhizhi looked up at the little wolf cub who had twisted his round little butt and ran to the red wolf king's belly as soon as he landed, burying his head in drinking milk.
The two wolf cubs are exactly the same size, except for their fur and eye color. Ye Zhizhi simply distinguished them as wolf sister and wolf brother based on the order in which he saw them.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the Red Wolf King. She could feel that Sister Wolf had no ill will towards her, otherwise she would not have brought her in.
The wolf cub's belly was bulging, clearly having just finished feeding. However, noticing his sister drinking milk, he also rushed over anxiously. As soon as Ye Zhizhi put her down, the wolf cub rushed over and huddled close to the silver wolf cub, even when not drinking milk, holding the food bag in his mouth.
Ye Zhizhi stared at it intently. The Red Wolf King beside her noticed her gaze and made a low sound in his throat: Want to drink something?
When Ye Zhizhi heard the call of the Red Wolf King, her face immediately turned red and she quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying no.
In the eyes of the Red Wolf King, this wolf, who had a powerful aura but was still childish and small in size, was very contradictory. However, the Red Wolf King still treated her as a cub and was very friendly to her.
Wolves also communicate with each other. The Red Wolf King had known about this miraculous wolf cub for a long time, but they had never met. He had heard a lot about the little wolf cub's deeds.
The Red Wolf King expressed his hope that the cubs he would give birth to would be as smart as this little wolf cub.
Ye Zhizhi didn't stay in the den for long. After the little silver wolf cub had drunk its fill of milk, the red wolf king pushed it and the little silver wolf cub out.
Ye Zhizhi carried the little silver wolf cub out of the cave, still looking confused, not understanding why he and the cub were driven out together.
This is the Red Wolf King’s cub, right?
It would have been bad enough if she was kicked out, but why was such a small wolf cub also brought out?
Ye Zhizhi was puzzled.
But the Red Wolf King looked impatient and told her to take the cub away quickly. However, Ye Zhizhi still left with the little wolf cub, who started to feel sleepy again after drinking his fill.
At this time, the moon was at its zenith, and the mountains and forests were pitch black. Only the ground illuminated by the moonlight was bright and clear.
There was a strange smell of wolves all around, and Ye Zhizhi could hear wolves howling not far away. They ignored him as he walked around in his territory.
Not long after Ye Zhizhi left, Yin Yi, who had been driven out of the territory, sneaked in again at some point and quietly approached Ye Zhizhi.
When he smelled Ye Zhizhi's scent close to him, he jumped out from behind the bushes and lay in front of Ye Zhizhi. When Ye Zhizhi subconsciously got on his back, he instantly spread his limbs and ran out.
Yin Yi ran to the outskirts of the territory, picked up the vine, and dragged Ye Zhizhi's huge package along.
Ye Zhizhi wrapped the wolf cub with snake skin and lay on Yin Yi's back.
The wind at night was much colder than during the day, but she had no time to pay attention.
She couldn't help but wonder what was going on between Yin Yi and the Red Wolf King. They didn't seem like a loving couple, but rather like they were attracted to each other's strength. After having cubs together, they each took a cub?
Ye Zhizhi felt that he was overthinking it, but also felt that their behavior was very similar!
So, what's going on?
