18 Wilderness Survival
◎Hold on, be strong.◎
Today was the first time in recent times that Ye Zhizhi did not wake up in the morning and run out after drinking milk.
When the mother wolf is not hunting, she basically just stays in the grass nest.
She felt that she had neglected her wolf mother. She was away from home every day. She was either playing with other wolf cubs on the plain or fluttering around the wolf king, leaving her wolf mother alone guarding the den.
Compared to playing around, Wolf Mom is the most important thing.
Therefore, after finishing his meal that day, Ye Zhizhi did not go out immediately, but crawled around in the nest, sticking to the wolf mother from time to time.
Yin Yi ran away early in the morning, but would come up from time to time and call Wolf Girl to play together.
The wolf girl now is not like before. She was very boring at the beginning. No matter how it called, she would not move and would not respond.
The wolf girl was so playful now, even more playful than him. If she hadn't been so slow on her four paws, he'd have suspected she was trying to fly. Not only him, but the other wolf cubs also loved playing with her.
But today, it called for a long time, but the wolf girl refused to go down.
Yin Yi couldn't help but lie down on the side, wagging his tail boredly as he watched the wolf girl walking around in the den. He tilted his head, really not understanding what was so fun in the den.
Ye Zhizhi crawled steadily. She could feel her hands and feet becoming stronger and more powerful. She could now climb for a long time without feeling tired.
But it was true that there was nothing in the grass nest. Apart from exercising, there was nothing fun to do. She saw the crooked piece of grass quilt that she had woven with great effort in the corner, and she couldn't help but crawl over to pick it up and take a look.
Because it was useless, it fell into the corner of the mountain wall and no one cared about it. But it was her hard work, and it would be a pity to take it down. She was reluctant to do so, so she put it aside and used it as a sitting cushion.
Hmm? This is... stone?
Ye Zhizhi noticed with his sharp eyes that there was a small, pointed stone that looked like jade in the gap between the dry grass.
But it didn't look like a pure stone. Ye Zhizhi was curious, so he took it in his hand and looked at it again and again. He couldn't think of what it looked like for a moment, so he put it aside after a while.
Yin Yi watched for a while and saw the wolf girl playing with its replaced baby teeth with a thoughtful expression.
It turns out that Wolf Girl likes to play this.
Ye Zhizhi didn't stay in the den for the whole morning. When he felt it was about time, he howled at the wolf mother and then crawled towards Yin Yi.
When Yin saw the wolf sister coming, he wagged his tail with joy. When the wolf sister climbed onto his back, he jumped down the boulder faster than ever before, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.
The brother and sister who were working together to bully Erzong saw Yinyi and his sister coming down, and they hurried over and rubbed their necks to show their friendliness.
When the wolf cubs grew up a little, Ye Zhizhi could see that only Sanbai was a somewhat cold girl, and the other two were also younger brothers.
They first patrolled the mountain valley.
At this moment, Ye Zhizhi didn't see any excitement, and even didn't see Uncle Scar in the nest.
Uncle Scar went out yesterday and never came back?
Ye Zhizhi blinked and wondered if Uncle Scar had run away from home.
Just because the wolf king father gave him a warning with his eyes?
Is it so childish?
It shouldn't be that serious... maybe? Could something have happened?
Ye Zhizhi suddenly shook his head. Of course not. Uncle Scar is the younger brother of Wolf King Dad. He must be very powerful. He must have been delayed by something.
After the inspection, a group of wolf cubs exchanged feelings with each other, and Ye Zhizhi soon crawled towards the wolf king again.
She excitedly crawled to the side of the wolf king. When she raised her head, the wolf king looked at her with a somewhat resentful look for some reason.
? ?
Ye Zhizhi blinked and was about to take a closer look. The wolf king still had a majestic posture and his eyes were full of wisdom.
She tilted her head, sat beside the wolf king's front legs, stared at the wolf king, and unconsciously put her little hands into her mouth.
She must be dazzled, otherwise how could she see such a down-to-earth expression on the Wolf King's father's face? A salty taste of earth wafted through her mouth, and Ye Zhizhi reacted. She quickly put her hand down, made a few "pooh-pooh" sounds, and then threw it behind her, grinning and crawling towards the Wolf King.
The wolf king's huge body remained motionless. Even when the cub overplayed its head and fell to the ground, its powerful fluffy tail caught the cub in time and threw it back on its back.
The wolf king looked ahead with deep eyes. It was another torturous day.
The parent-child activities between Ye Zhizhi and the Wolf King lasted for four days. On the fifth day, the wolf pack went out hunting again, and the cubs followed them out again.
Only Ye Zhizhi and three old wolves were left in the cave.
The same scene reappears.
This time, Ye Zhizhi climbed onto the flat ground early in the morning. It was just dawn and it had not been long since the wolves left.
Ye Zhizhi sat on the ground, her chubby white cheeks showing a deep expression. This time, she must be fully prepared. She will definitely be able to get out of the cave today!
She must race against time, the wolves will definitely not come back so early!
Now, the only obstacle is the old wolves in the cave.
At this time, the old wolves were either lying or walking, all of them were full of energy, and from time to time they looked at their only cub.
Ye Zhizhi put his hands on the ground and began to crawl steadily.
Don't be anxious or panic. The old wolves will definitely not be so energetic all the time. She just needs to wait patiently.
Ye Zhizhi climbed out of the flat ground like curiously exploring a cave, and from time to time he climbed to a blind corner. Although it hurt his hands and feet a little, it didn't matter. As long as he could get out, everything was worth it!
First of all, she showed no intention of climbing out of the cave, and even stayed away from the cave entrance.
She crawled for a while, sat for a while, and played for a while as if something attracted her attention.
After the wolf relaxed its vigilance and confirmed that she would not crawl out and would not appear around frequently, Ye Zhizhi did not take any action immediately, but continued to climb and stop for fun.
Nearly another hour passed, and Ye Zhizhi noticed that the old wolf no longer moved around, but lay in its den, resting with its eyes slightly closed.
Ye Zhizhi's peripheral vision was inconspicuous. She seemed to be attracted by something in front of her, and she would stop to look at it for a while before continuing to climb. At the same time, she was secretly paying attention to whether the old wolf was looking at her.
The old wolf didn't seem to notice her little action. Ye Zhizhi slowly approached the cave entrance and even used the blind spot to block her little cub.
She crawled forward quietly and finally saw the entrance to the cave.
Ye Zhizhi raised her head and stared at the unusually bright cave entrance. She couldn't help but get excited and crawled on all fours very quickly.
The time is now! Go, go, go!
Soon, she could finally go out!
Seeing that the cave entrance seemed to be within reach, Ye Zhizhi immediately rushed to the cave entrance. However, after struggling with his limbs for a long time, he still couldn't reach the exit which was so close.
Huh?
Ye Zhizhi's gaze suddenly rose high, and his limbs moved subconsciously while he was suspended in the air.
Her already tight little cotton coat tightened even more, and then strangled the back of her neck with fate.
When the wolf cubs were sneaking towards the cave entrance, the three old wolves watched silently. When the cubs were almost at the cave entrance, one of the old wolves stood up, took a few steps and lightly jumped, and appeared behind the cubs silently.
Ye Zhizhi: “?”
Then, the old wolf bit her cotton coat on the back and picked her up.
Ye Zhizhi was turned in a different direction, and the old wolf carried her towards the cave.
Ye Zhizhi: “…” His puffy little face was as angry as a puffer fish, and his plan was about to fail!
Her sight had changed from the cave entrance to the cave, and the old wolf was carrying her back.
Ye Zhizhi was furious. She was so cautious, so how did Granny Wolf discover her plan?
She really wants to go out! Why not let her go out? The temperature has risen so much, even if it is still cool outside, the cub can handle it!
You still think she's fragile, right? Ye Zhizhi thinks she's strong enough to knock down a bull!
"Awooo--" Ye Zhizhi called pitifully in a low voice, Grandma Wolf, she wanted to go out!
The old wolf didn't hesitate at all. It continued to move forward with the cub in its mouth unwaveringly.
Ye Zhizhi, who had grown bigger and more solid, felt her whole body falling down heavily. Her sharp ears caught the slight tearing sound.
Ye Zhizhi suddenly had a bad premonition and she screamed anxiously.
Wait, wait, don't hold it, don't hold it! I'll send a few--
tear——
The high-quality cotton-padded jacket finally couldn't bear the weight and tore at the back.
Ye Zhizhi fell to the ground.
As her tight cotton coat loosened, she felt a cool sensation on her back.
Walk…walk…walk…
Ye Zhizhi, who was lying on the ground, had a stiff body and turned his head mechanically bit by bit.
The wolf behind her looked at her innocently, with a small piece of cloth stuck between its fangs.
"Woo——" Ye Zhizhi's eyes were filled with tears.
She sniffed.
Hold on and be strong.
"Wow--"
Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Zhizhi raised her head and cried loudly, she didn’t want to run naked!
The loud cry echoed throughout the cave, attracting two other old wolves. When they looked, they saw that the cub's back was bare and her strange "fur" was torn. The culprit was the other old wolf.
The old wolf, who spat out small pieces of cloth from his mouth, was obviously at a loss. He walked back and forth twice, lowered his head and nudged the crying cub, then stretched out his wolf tongue to lick the cub, as if to comfort it.
Ye Zhizhi cried until she hiccupped.
Her eyes were blurred with tears, and she saw that Grandma Wolf looked very apologetic.
Tears were still in Ye Zhizhi's eyes, so she raised her little hands and rubbed Grandma Wolf's head.
It’s okay. She was surprised that the little cotton coat could last that long.
It’s okay, Ye Zhizhi comforted herself that wearing a cardigan is pretty good, even though it’s open at the back, it’s also a fashion, and others want it but don’t have it yet.
She originally wore a loose version of this little cotton coat, but now she has grown more than a circle or two, and the loose cotton coat no longer fits her and even tightens her flesh.
In fact, even if it wasn't scrapped now, she would soon outgrow it. After all, she was growing up. Now that it had become a cardigan, she could still wear it for a while...
But I'm still sad...
The old wolf lowered his head, as if knowing that he had done something wrong, and rubbed Ye Zhizhi gently.
Ye Zhizhi had no choice but to comfort Grandma Wolf and tell her not to worry about it.
She didn't cry for long before crawling back to the nest with red eyes.
When the wolf mother and the old wolf carried her, they would hook her little cotton coat. Although she folded the little blanket into several layers and tied it around her body as a little skirt, if one of them was not hooked, it would easily loosen and fall off the cub.
Now that the only thing that could hold the cub steady was gone, Ye Zhizhi could only crawl back by herself.
Under the supervision of the old wolf, she climbed up the boulder and lay back in the grass nest.
Ye Zhizhi lay in the nest motionless, his entire body colorless.
Feeling the coolness like wind blowing on her back, her world became even darker. Woohoo, she was still so sad. Her only piece of clothing was gone. What should she do in the future?
Just after noon, the hunting wolves returned, and Ye Zhizhi heard Yin Yi's somewhat dull but very high cry from afar.
Ye Zhizhi sat up dejectedly and looked up, thinking that Yin Yi had brought her new prey. Just as she was getting up to refuse, Yin Yi ran up to her and spat out something with a "puff", then pushed it in front of Ye Zhizhi with his claws. He looked at her with his bright eyes and shook his furry wolf tail.
Ye Zhizhi looked down and saw the bloody baby tooth covered in dust lying on the ground.
She thought of the strange little stone she held in her hand yesterday. It turned out to be Yin Yi's baby tooth.
Seeing Ye Zhizhi not moving for a long time, Yin tilted his head in confusion and pushed forward again. Don’t you like to play?
Ye Zhizhi understood what it meant and felt both funny and heartwarming. She picked up the baby tooth, held it in her hand, and cleaned it of the blood and dust stains.
Yin Yi wagged his tail happily, baring his teeth, revealing a gap in his neat row of teeth.
Ye Zhizhi's depressed mood was instantly cured. She and Yin Yi looked at each other foolishly, smiling toothlessly.
Ye Zhizhi licked his gums and found that his baby teeth had not even grown out yet, let alone replaced teeth.
I don't know when my teeth started to grow.
