148 Wilderness Survival
◎ Daily life of raising cubs. ◎
Yin Yi carried Ye Zhizhi and the little wolf cub and dragged the package, traveling under the stars and the moon. When they returned to the territory, it was already midnight.
As early as when they were near the territory, they were discovered by the wolves on patrol outside the tribe, and the information was conveyed to the wolves in the cave.
The wolves lying in the cave heard the howling of the patrolling wolves and came out to watch.
They were extremely curious. The cub's attitude of "Goodbye, I'm going on a long voyage" two days ago showed that the cub would be away for a long time before coming back. It might take several winters before they see her again.
As a result, such a short time had passed and they hadn't even realized that the cubs had left, yet they came back so soon?
Last time, she was out for only a hundred days and nights before returning. This time, it was less than two days and nights. Each time she returns, she's coming back earlier and earlier. Next time, will she be back and forth the same day?
Can this cub who always wants to leave the nest and venture out into the world really realize his lofty ambitions?
The wolf pack was very curious about why the cubs came back so soon this time.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know what the wolves were complaining about. As soon as she returned to the territory, she saw dozens of pairs of green wolf eyes appearing in every corner of the jungle, and she felt quite moved.
When the wolves heard them coming back, they came out to greet them. What a nice wolves!
Ye Zhizhi immediately jumped off the wolf's back, carrying the cub in her arms. She rushed to the wolf mother and lifted up the tightly wrapped cub in her arms, howling excitedly, "This is Yinyi's cub! They have a wolf grandson! She has a niece! Oh, and a nephew too, but he's with the wolf sister!"
The little wolf cub has woken up now. It smells so many strange smells and keeps whimpering uneasily. It tries to bury its round little head in the snake skin that wraps it.
Ye Zhizhi quickly held her in his arms and stroked her soothingly.
The little wolf cub was enveloped by Ye Zhizhi's breath and finally calmed down, but he still continued to bury himself in Ye Zhizhi's arms.
The silver wolf lowered its head and sniffed Ye Zhizhi first. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her scent, it turned to sniff the scent of the little wolf cub.
The wolf king also walked forward and looked down at the wolf cub that was born not long ago.
The other wolves also moved a little closer and looked around curiously.
The little wolf cub began to whimper again, and its tender little voice was very clear in the quiet forest. It had just come into contact with these strange wolves, and when they surrounded it, it instinctively began to feel uneasy.
Ye Zhizhi stroked the little wolf cub and made soothing sounds, then looked at the wolf pack. She found that the wolves were not surprised. It seemed that they had known that Yin Yi had a cub, but they had not seen it yet. They were watching curiously from a distance.
Yin Yi had a cub with the wolf king's consent, and the fact that Yin Yi had found a mate was no secret in the tribe. They had known it all for a long time, but Ye Zhizhi seemed to have lost touch and didn't notice anything.
However, this was the first time they saw the wolf cub. On the way to bring the cub back, Yin Yi smelled the faint scent of Ye Zhizhi leaving, so he chased after him directly. Ye Zhizhi was the first cub seen in the tribe, so he won a game.
After hearing the cries of the little wolf cubs, the wolves stopped moving forward and retreated silently.
The wind was very strong at night, rustling the leaves and vines in the forest. Ye Zhizhi quickly climbed onto the wolf mother's back, howling and urging her to return to the den quickly.
The wolf cub is still so young. It would be bad if he got sick from the wind.
Back in the cave, Ye Zhizhi untied the snake skin that wrapped the wolf cub. Thinking that the wolf cub looked quite uneasy, why not put it in Yin Yi's den and let the wolf father take care of it?
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to put it next to Yin Yi behind her, the little wolf cub raised its chubby limbs and hugged her hand tightly, howling loudly, as if she was going to abandon it.
Seeing this, Ye Zhizhi simply carried it directly to the giant rock den. She looked into the silver wolf's shining green eyes in the dark, whimpered softly, and then put the little wolf cub into the den.
As soon as the little wolf cub landed on the ground, it subconsciously buried its entire body between Ye Zhizhi's legs. Its soft and warm little body rested on the back of her feet. Its round little head squeezed between her legs, and it subconsciously called out "Grandma".
For some unknown reason, the little wolf cub seemed to have identified her and would look for her whenever he felt uneasy, which made Ye Zhizhi's heart soften into a puddle of water.
She squatted down, pulled out the little wolf cub that was trying to bury itself, held it in her arms, and then lay down beside the wolf mother who was already lying down, letting the little wolf cub also stay close to the wolf mother, stroking it with her little hands.
It’s too late now. Ye Zhizhi feels a little sleepy. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.
The little wolf cub was surrounded by two strong auras and soon he was no longer uneasy. Instead, he lay in Ye Zhizhi's arms and fell asleep.
The silver wolf turned its head to look at the two cubs. Of course, most of its attention was on Ye Zhizhi. It lowered its head and licked her carefully. After it did not smell any sign of injury on her, it licked the little wolf cub who was also asleep.
The next day, Ye Zhizhi was awakened by the noise around her. When she opened her eyes, she saw a short furry tail swaying across her cheek.
Ye Zhizhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and right in front of him was a round little fleshy butt.
Her face felt itchy, so she sat up. When she looked down, she found that the little wolf cub, who had already woken up, was curiously trying to climb the mountain of meat in front of them.
After all, they are wolf elders with blood ties. After the little wolf cub became familiar with the breath of the silver wolf and the wolf king, he became brave and dared to climb on the wolf mother's body to play.
When the little wolf cub noticed that Ye Zhizhi had woken up, he immediately pounced on him, howling, his little baby voice making an urgent rhythm.
When the silver wolf saw Ye Zhizhi woke up, he ignored the little wolf cub and turned his head, lay down, closed his eyes and rested.
Ye Zhizhi could naturally hear that the little wolf cub was crying for food with hunger.
She was very worried.
None of the female wolves in the pack had given birth and were not in the lactation period, and the little wolf cubs were so hungry that their bellies were not even that round anymore.
We have to find milk for the little wolf cub quickly... Sister Wolf is too far away now, and the little wolf cub can't stand being hungry for too long.
Ye Zhizhi thought for a moment and remembered that he had three farms, so he decided to go to the farms to check out the small prey.
If these little animals live well, they will naturally reproduce and multiply, and the female animals will have milk.
So she handed the wolf cub to the care of the wolf mother and the wolf king father who were already familiar with it, and then quickly went to the living area to get a few wooden barrels and hung them on her body.
Her package was placed aside by Yin Yi, but she had no time to take care of it at the moment.
Ye Zhizhi quickly went to the farm to find the lactating animals and see if she could squeeze out any milk. She tried, but the milk from a dozen or so animals wasn't enough to fill a wooden barrel; the amount was far too little.
Ye Zhizhi didn't care whether it was enough for the little wolf cub to eat, and hurried back to the cave and poured the food into the small fruit shell she used as a bowl.
The little wolf cub instinctively lowered its head and licked the fruit quickly, almost burying its small body in the fruit shell.
Ye Zhizhi slowly leaned forward, holding the wolf cub with one hand as it drank milk, until it had finished drinking all the milk.
Ye Zhizhi touched the wolf cub's belly, which had become bloated again. He didn't dare to use force, so he touched it carefully. The wolf cub was full.
Ye Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the little wolf cub was not picky about food and would drink any milk. She observed for a moment and saw that the little wolf cub had no adverse reactions.
After drinking the milk, the little wolf cub circled around Ye Zhizhi, howling a few times, and as if the power had suddenly gone out, it soon fell asleep in Ye Zhizhi's arms.
Ye Zhizhi stuffed the wolf cub into Yinyi's den and went out to continue milking.
She was busy all day, searching for female animals in three farms, and only managed to get enough food for the wolf cubs in one day.
Animals in captivity: "..."
Oh my god! This damn wolf cub not only fattens them up and eats them, but now it wants to steal their cubs’ food. It’s really abominable!
So whether it was rabbits or other small animals, they all carried their cubs in their mouths and hid in deeper holes in the ground.
See how this nasty wolf cub can steal their cubs' food! If you can't afford to provoke them, you can afford to hide!
Ye Zhizhi had no idea that she was being disliked by the little animals. After trying for three or five days, she not only felt that the little female beast was becoming increasingly difficult to catch, but was also too cumbersome, so she gave up and simply asked Yin Yi and the others to go out and capture a few large lactating animals alive.
Ye Zhizhi howled at Yin Yi, then turned to look at the crouching wolves. She felt so worried that she simply placed the cubs with their mother, leaving them and the wolf king to watch over them while she and Yin Yi went out. She planned to capture the cubs herself.
After spending so many days together, the little wolf cub has become accustomed to staying in the cave and getting along with the Silver Wolf King.
Although in the silver wolf's heart, the most important thing is his own cubs, but this is the continuation of his bloodline, how can he not like it? Even the wolf king lay on the ground, letting the energetic little cubs toss around on him.
Ye Zhizhi can still leave for a while during the day, but when the little wolf cub wants to sleep, he has to nestle in Ye Zhizhi's arms to sleep soundly.
Ye Zhizhi was afraid that her eldest niece would starve, so she tried every possible way to get milk. She caught lactating doe, ewes, and cows, and tied their necks with several very thick woven vines.
This was the solution Ye Zhizhi came up with. Although these vines were very tough, they were also very strong against cows and doe. After long-term collisions and biting, no matter which leg was tied to it, it would eventually break free. Now it was tied around the neck and one of the front legs, and the other end was tied to a tree branch, which was different.
No matter how they struggled to break free or how they bit back, they could not break the vine. If they ran out, the vine would shrink, making it difficult for them to breathe. Over time, they would consciously stop running.
Of course, they realized that even if they didn't run, their lives would not be in danger. These strange wolves would even bring them food, fearing that they would not have enough to eat, so they decided not to run.
At first, these female animals did not cooperate in collecting milk, but Ye Zhizhi was a strong woman who could pin the wolves to the ground and make them unable to move. After pressing them a few times, these female animals learned their lesson.
Ye Zhizhi handled the whole process by herself because she found that if she asked other wolves to help, these herbivores would be frightened and stop producing milk when surrounded by too many wolves.
Although Ye Zhizhi's aura was strong, she deliberately restrained herself. In addition, she looked harmless. Even if she got close, these animals would be more likely to accept her presence once they realized that she had no intention of hunting them.
Ye Zhizhi caught female animals of different species, hoping to let the little wolf cubs change their taste and see which milk flavor they liked best.
When she found out that the little wolf cub was not picky about food and was easy to raise, she felt even more sorry for it.
The little wolf cub didn't stay with his wolf mother for long before he was taken away. Although this was not her decision, but a joint decision made by Sister Wolf and Yin Yi, she felt even more pity for the little wolf cub because of this. He was so pitiful that no matter how much she loved him, it would not be excessive.
If the wolf cub wasn't so young, she would have wanted to take it out every few days so that it could spend more time with the wolf mother. After all, no matter how much she loved it, it could not replace the existence of the wolf mother.
But the little wolf cub is still too young now, and should go out less often outside the cave. He should stay in the den every day like his wolf brothers.
Although the milk source problem has been solved, Ye Zhizhi still goes to look for Wolf Sister from time to time to get some wolf milk.
At first she was worried that Sister Wolf would not welcome her, but after she explained her purpose, she cooperated and let a lot of milk be squeezed out.
After Yin Yi handed the cub to Ye Zhizhi for care, he often did not come home. At first, Ye Zhizhi thought that Yin Yi was going to be a bad father and not care about the cub. Later, she found out that Yin Yi went out frequently to hunt prey for Sister Wolf, and he specifically went to catch those powerful predators.
Ye Zhizhi only found out about Yin Yi's whereabouts during this period when he went to collect wolf milk.
When a female wolf becomes pregnant and gives birth to cubs, her energy will also be greatly damaged. She needs to rest more and eat a lot of fresh blood and meat to recover.
The more powerful the predator, the richer the energy contained in its flesh and blood, which can help Sister Wolf recover faster.
From this, we can infer that although the wolves in the Wolf Sister tribe would drive Yin Yi away from time to time, judging from their attitudes, they must have met frequently for quite a long time.
This means that it is very likely that Yin Yi was the one who went hunting from the time Wolf Sister became pregnant to the time she gave birth to her cubs.
Ye Zhicai realized that she had misunderstood, and at the same time she felt very proud. Her wolf brother was a very responsible male wolf!
Although she still didn't know why Sister Wolf was so annoyed with Yin Yi and looked like she didn't want to see Wolf.
Ye Zhizhi thought that human women's emotions would be greatly affected before and after giving birth, so it was normal for them to have abnormal attitudes, and it was even more normal for them to dislike Yin Yi. No matter what the reason, Yin Yi was very tolerant, and he did not fight back even if he was beaten or scolded, and he continued to hunt and support his wife.
Although she felt that this was not the only reason, it might also be related to the cub.
Yin Yi had never been able to enter the territory openly, but he would hunt a prey and send it to Sister Wolf every other day. Sister Wolf never refused and ate it directly.
Occasionally, Yin Yi would sneak in, then be beaten by the wolf sister-in-law and then driven out by the other wolves.
Ye Zhizhi saw that there was some affection between the two wolves, and Yinyi was probably not so cunning and was very considerate to Wolf Sister. Ye Zhizhi also felt it was a pity that Yinyi and Wolf Sister could not lead and develop a tribe together like Wolf Mother and Wolf King Father.
Ye Zhizhi felt that they were like a powerful couple in human society. They each had their own career and would not sacrifice themselves for the other. Generally speaking, they were all career-oriented.
Ye Zhizhi thought this was a good idea.
Sister Wolf is so powerful that it is obvious that she is unwilling to be inferior to the wolf. Yin Yi is no weaker than Sister Wolf. If they really fight and distinguish the primary and secondary, it is probably difficult to determine the winner unless one side gives in.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't figure it out, and Yin Yi and Wolf Sister couldn't possibly explain it to her in human terms. She struggled so much that she decided to stop thinking about it and accept the complicated relationship between Yin Yi and Wolf Sister. She just thought of them as partners. She only needed to take good care of the little wolf cub.
Ye Zhizhi was afraid that the little wolf cub would not have enough milk to drink, so he fed it nine or ten meals a day, alternating between different types of milk.
The wolf cub's body was visibly swelling and becoming rounder day by day. Its soft little fat trembled when it ran, so adorable that it made people's hearts flutter.
When Ye Zhizhi saw the bright sunshine, and thought that the little wolf cub had not seen its mother and brothers for more than half a month, he put it into a larger snakeskin bag and carried it away on his back.
For the little wolf cub, Ye Zhizhi once again used her handicraft skills. She specially used a piece of hard animal skin as the base, then wrapped it with snake skin, and strung it with rattan as a thread to make a snake skin backpack full of primitive style.
The little wolf cub was put inside and Ye Zhizhi took it out. As she walked and ran, the cub swayed steadily, and the little wolf cub fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Zhizhi brought the little wolf cub to the wolf sister's den. When she saw the other little wolf cub, she put her eldest niece into the den, and the size difference between the two siblings from the same den became apparent.
Originally, Ye Zhizhi couldn't tell who was older and who was younger, but now, the little wolf cub's fat was even bigger than its brother's.
Uh…did she feed him too much?
The two wolf cubs met in the den, sniffed each other, and after confirming that they were siblings from the same den, they began to chase and play with each other.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the two cubs with a mysterious smile on his lips.
This kid is so cute!
Ye Zhizhi felt quite regretful that she had never seen Yin Yi at this time. When she first saw him, Yin Yi must have been several times bigger than the little wolf cub.
Of course, it may also be that she was too young at the time and had a different perspective.
When he had seen enough, Ye Zhizhi reluctantly looked away and started chatting seriously with the wolf sister who was lying beside him, wagging her tail leisurely.
Ye Zhizhi shared his experience of raising cubs with it.
She was asking whether she should reduce the amount of milk the wolf cubs were given.
The Red Wolf King stared at Ye Zhizhi without blinking. There seemed to be no emotion in his dark red eyes, but he was listening to Ye Zhizhi carefully, and occasionally tilted his head to respond.
After all, the Red Wolf King had not spent much time with Ye Zhizhi. Even though he could understand a little bit of the emotions in her tone and analyze some things from her expression, he was still no match for Yin Yi and the other wolves who lived with her day and night.
The main reason is that Ye Zhizhi, a not-so-authentic wolf, has been trying to learn to distinguish the language of the wolf pack since she was a child. She also adds her own understanding to the howling sounds, which greatly enriches the language of their tribe.
Only the wolves in their pack could fully understand what she meant.
However, the reason why it can become the wolf king is not only because of its strong strength, but also because of its smart brain. It listens a lot and can slowly analyze some information.
Ye Zhizhi had never seen Sister Wolf and her tribe, but in the nearby area, there was a legend about this little wolf cub that had a strange appearance, took a long time to grow up, but was very smart and could tame predators of other races.
Ye Zhizhi had no idea that he was very famous in the jungle.
After all, she's been running around with pythons and bears all day, and there will be more snakes around her.
In the past, there was only a python to play with nearby, but later a snake and a bear were added.
They had never seen such a magical wolf cub.
Moreover, her eyes were full of wisdom, which was different from that of many animals. The wolf could tell at a glance that she understood many things that animals did not know.
Although she mostly does things in her own territory, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. She does not always do things in the territory, and she also behaves strangely outside.
All in all, it's a very magical wolf cub.
When Ye Zhizhi was communicating with the wolf sister, she suddenly heard a miserable howl. She turned her head and saw the rounder little silver wolf cub overwhelmingly beating his younger brother.
The little wolf brother howled in pain after being beaten.
Ye Zhizhi looked at them again and again, not knowing whether to separate them or not. But seeing that Sister Wolf was very calm, she simply pretended not to see it.
It's normal for wolf cubs to pounce on and scratch each other. It's very normal. When Yinyi was a child, he often beat other wolves.
Ye Zhizhi felt that the wolf sister was very friendly to her. After she went to its territory three or two times, she could enter and exit directly and the wolves no longer paid attention to her.
…was also paying attention. From time to time, a wolf would appear in front of her and look at her curiously. They must have never seen such a unique wolf cub before.
Later on, Sister Wolf would occasionally appear outside the territory and allow the cows to be milked directly under the rocks outside.
As the wolf cubs grew older, Ye Zhizhi felt that it would be better to take them out more often to meet their wolf mother and wolf brothers, so he took them in more frequently so that they could drink fresh milk.
Ye Zhizhi felt very sorry for the little wolf cub who could not stay with his wolf mother. He went to his wolf sister-in-law every few days and brought the cub back after feeding it.
Ye Zhizhi thought that the little wolf cub needed to eat small meals frequently and would get hungry quickly after drinking milk, so he brought back two or three wooden barrels.
Eating and taking things, running back and forth.
Yin Yi worked tirelessly as the driver.
But Ye Zhizhi discovered after a while that the wolf sister would not let the wolf cub stay in her territory for too long.
It is impossible to say that it does not love it. There is a lot of kindness in its eyes.
She thought about it and thought that perhaps it was because this wolf cub was "divided" with Yinyi. It would grow up in their tribe. If it stayed in its tribe for too long and decided that that was its territory, then there would be no point in separating them.
Ye Zhizhi was certain that the little wolf cub would not be taken back, and she had already thought about naming it.
Ye Zhizhi picked up his cultural level from many years ago, pondered for several days, racked his brains, and finally came up with a very appropriate name.
Silver crimson.
Fei also means red.
Ye Zhizhi thought about it for a long time before he came up with this word.
Because she felt that Yinhong was not worthy of the wolf cub's temperament. Their wolf cub was so cute and deserved the best name.
As for the other little wolf cub, Ye Zhizhi knew that there might be few opportunities to meet them in the future, but she did not favor one over the other. She thought of another name, Chi Jin.
Chi also means red, and the latter is the color of the wolf cub's eyes. Although the description is not so precise, the general meaning is similar.
Chi was just like taking the surname of Sister Wolf. Ye Zhizhi thought that Sister Wolf was also the Wolf King. Calling the Wolf King directly would be the same as calling her Wolf King Father. In her heart, only Wolf King Father referred to the Wolf King.
She felt that she should also give Wolf Sister a name. After careful consideration, she decided to call Wolf Sister the Red King.
This name is mighty and domineering!
Ye Zhizhi likes Sister Wolf’s eyes very much. They are unique and beautiful, and the color changes to different shades of red under different light.
But when she first saw the Wolf Sister, the first thing she noticed was its strength.
