27 Wilderness Survival
◎The pointed stick stopped in the corner.◎
Ye Zhizhi blushed and lowered her head. She lay on the wolf king's neck with her limbs tightly hugging him.
After the wolf king landed safely, he walked towards the silver wolf with elegant steps.
It stared at the silver wolf with its wolf eyes, and its fluffy wolf tail swung twice unconsciously, as if asking for credit.
Scar watched the Wolf King passing by, showing his masculine charm to Silver Wolf, but he didn't dare to go forward and be cannon fodder again. He got up from the ground cursing, mixed into the wolf pack and walked away with the wolves.
After the cubs were rescued and there was nothing more to watch, the wolf pack slowly dispersed, leaving only the wolf king, wolf mother and cubs.
Yinyi, Erzong and the other four wolf cubs rushed up as soon as the wolf girl came down. They raised their heads and kept howling at the wolf girl, as if they were concerned about whether she was okay.
Ye Zhizhi was too embarrassed to look up. She still felt very shy because her embarrassing behavior was watched by the wolves.
She stared at the ground, as if she could make a flower appear.
The silver wolf walked over, rubbing its body against the wolf king's. Its silver fur brushed against the cub, seemingly blending with the wolf king's gray. The silver wolf was larger than most female wolves, but against the backdrop of the wolf king, it looked slender. After rubbing against the cub, it turned its head to look at the cub, who had practically buried himself in the fur.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the ground, his eyes fixed on the feet of the Wolf King father, and suddenly stopped moving.
As the wolves walked on the dead branches and leaves on the ground, they brought up some dead leaves, revealing a straight piece of wood under their feet.
Ye Zhizhi instantly stood up and howled at the silver wolf.
Wolf Mom, I want to go down!
Ye Zhizhi opened her arms toward Wolf Mother and hugged her tightly as she leaned forward. Her upper body was almost directly above her nose, her two short legs suspended in the air, even tilted forward. She only let go of Wolf Mother when she lowered her head and planted her feet on the ground.
Ye Zhizhi immediately turned around and squatted beside the wolf king's forelimbs, staring at its thick claws and clapping his hands, "Awooo-woo--"
Wolf King: “…”
It moved its claws away, and Ye Zhizhi immediately dug out the wooden stick she liked from the rotten soil.
After seeing the whole picture clearly, Ye Zhizhi's eyes immediately brightened.
Her intuition was right! This was the perfect love stick for her!
The stick had not rotted yet and looked very solid. It was about the length of her arm and just wide enough for her little hand to hold. It was very straight and had a pointed end.
Ye Zhizhi only knew the idiom "drilling wood to make fire" and knew it was a very ancient way of making fire, but she didn't know the specific operation method. She didn't pay special attention to it and only understood the meaning literally.
If you want to drill wood, you should have a sharp end, right? Then she'll fill a hole with dead leaves and drill, generating heat through friction...
Ye Zhizhi nodded, that must be the case.
This was really an unexpected success. I originally just wanted to get bird eggs, but I didn't get any. However, I did find a suitable wooden stick, so it can be considered a gain.
Ye Zhizhi narrowed his eyes with joy, and used his black little claws to clean the rotten soil on the wooden stick without any disgust, and then inserted it diagonally into the belt position on his back.
The silver wolf who saw this scene: "..." Why do cubs always like to play with weird things?
Can I still keep this kid?
Although the wolves present were puzzled, they did not stop her from doing it.
Ye Zhizhi quickly recovered to full health.
It was a rare sight that the wolf mother was willing to bring her here. There were more trees and vegetation and richer resources here, and she didn't want to waste her time on meaningless emotional drain.
She and the wolf cubs ran around everywhere, and later they felt that walking was too slow, so they sat on the wolf brother's back and ran around.
The group of cubs are going crazy.
Although Ye Zhizhi did not see any more bird nests, she found a lot of wild fruits. Her tiny cub sat on Yin Yi's back, holding a package made of broad leaves that was bigger than her.
In order to fill the fruit with more and prevent it from bursting, she even stacked leaves layer upon layer and sealed the opening with vines. Some fruits are large, with firm flesh and hard skin, and they look like they can be kept for a long time.
Ye Zhizhi returned to her nest reluctantly when the sun set. She was still worried about the firewood that was drying outside and wanted to bring it back to the cave to keep it safe.
Arriving at the cave entrance, she was busy again. She diligently carried and pulled the dead branches and leaves that had been drying in the sun for the whole afternoon and piled them in the corner next to the cave entrance.
The little wolf cubs followed Ye Zhizhi, howling and hindering her steps from time to time. They even rolled around mischievously in the dead leaves that she had piled up with great difficulty, making them all over the ground.
Ye Zhizhi has lost his temper. The cub is so cute, whatever he does is right.
The next day, the wolves went out hunting, and Ye Zhizhi was once again restricted from leaving the cave. But she wasn't sad at all, because she had brought back a lot of things the day before. And because the wolves had already taken her out several times, the old wolf guarding her didn't stop her from leaving the cave again, but that was all.
Two old wolves were guarding four little wolf cubs in the cave, and another old wolf was always by Ye Zhizhi's side.
Ye Zhizhi didn't mind as long as she could get out.
She was busy turning over and drying the dead branches and leaves she had picked up, and then bringing them back to her nest at night. Sure enough, she worked quickly.
Ye Zhizhi is full of hope.
She felt that she had not picked up enough, so she picked up almost everything that could be used as firewood near the cave and dried them out to dry. At the same time, she continued to look on the ground to see if there were any local fruits or the like.
She had been busy all morning, and the sun was even hotter at noon, so Ye Zhizhi took the initiative to go back to the cave to rest.
The wolves went out hunting today and haven't returned yet. Ye Zhizhi is not worried. The wolves' hunting time varies, and it's still early now!
When they were in the cave, the little wolf cubs clung to Ye Zhizhi and whimpered. She whimpered along with them, comforted and petted the cubs one by one, and watched them roll around and play with a smile.
Ye Zhizhi earnestly howled at the little wolf cubs for a long time, and suddenly remembered that it was time for her to speak human language!
When she was arguing with Brother Wolf yesterday, she blurted out a word!
In order to integrate into the wolf pack, Ye Zhizhi has been observing the wolves and even imitating their voices. At least now, she can express her thoughts with howling, and can also analyze the meaning of the wolves from their various calls.
Wolves cannot speak human language; their calls and body movements are their language.
But she is not a real wolf after all. Ye Zhi thought, she can't forget to say it.
So she cleared her throat and tried to shout, "One...one."
Ye Zhizhi listened to the baby voice she made. Although she was mentally prepared, she still opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She actually spoke unclearly and unstandardly!
Her name was clearly Yin Yi.
She couldn't believe it, so she shouted again: "One by one!"
"one!"
"Yin!"
Ye Zhizhi could only comfort herself that she was reborn, just like she had to learn to walk again, it was also normal to learn to speak again, it was just a matter of picking it up again. In less than two days, she would be able to speak fluently.
Ye Zhizhi decided that she had to learn how to call for help as quickly as possible to give Wolf Mom a surprise!
Then the whole cave was filled with Ye Zhizhi's baby voice as she learned to speak.
"Mama, Mama, Mama."
"Crack, pot, crack!"
"Barbapapa Papa."
She repeated it over and over again several times, and except for her brother whose tone was a little off the normal track, her parents all understood it immediately.
So she continued to read other words.
"One! Two! Three! Tie!"
“?? Tie! Tie! Tie!”
A little wolf cub tilted its head as it heard Ye Zhizhi making strange noises, then hurriedly joined in the fun, "Ah! Ah! Woo! Woo!"
"bag!"
“Ouch!”
"Well!"
“Woo!”
The other cubs heard it and started calling out too.
"cold!"
"Ouch! Ouch!"
"Well!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
At first, Ye Zhizhi tried hard not to be affected and concentrated on learning to speak.
But every time she said a word, the four cubs responded with four howls.
Finally, it couldn't hold back its howl and cried back, and for a moment, all that could be heard was the childish howl of the cub.
The old wolf lying not far away shook his ears and looked at these cubs who were inexplicably excited, with helplessness and tolerance in his eyes.
The wolves that had gone out hunting in the evening returned, and Ye Zhizhi was the first to greet them. She rushed to the silver wolf, hugged its front legs, raised her head and shouted excitedly: "Wolf, Mom!"
She practiced these two words for the longest time, just so that she could call out to the Silver Wolf as soon as he returned.
Ye Zhizhi raised his head expectantly to see Wolf Mother's reaction, and called out again: "Wolf, Mother!"
The silver wolf looked down at the slimy cub, raised its other paw, retracted its sharp claw and pressed the cub's mouth with its paw pad. What was it yelling about again?
Ye Zhizhi, whose half face was suddenly covered with mud, said: "......?" The pair of big, bright black eyes above the claws blinked. She moved her small body away and raised her black little claws to wipe her mouth and face. There were two "pu pu" sounds as her mouth was covered with mud.
Forget it, this is the difference between humans and animals. After she calls a few more times, the wolf mother will know that she is calling it.
Ye Zhizhi had beautiful thoughts, but the reality was cruel. Every time she called out to the wolf in human language, their reactions were strange.
When Wolf Brother heard her calling him "Guo Guo", his expression was very distorted, and then he felt guilty and crazy. It was over, it was over. He had an argument with Wolf Sister, and Wolf Sister started to make strange noises.
Yin Yi still remembered that the wolf girl's strange cry started when they had a quarrel. He thought that it was because of him that the wolf girl's cry had changed. Not to mention responding, he was even anxious about how to get the wolf girl to change back to normal.
Yin Yi and Yin Lang are indeed mother and son, they have the same train of thought. From its body language, it means that she did not stop the cub when it was learning to walk upright on two feet, which caused the cub to be "disabled" and no longer able to use its front paws. This time, it will not indulge it anymore. It must correct the cub's bad habits, so that it will not forget how to call the tribe in the future.
As a result, the difficulty of Ye Zhizhi learning to speak increased sharply.
The young wolf made strange noises and made trouble. Not only did the adult wolves ignore her, they also covered her mouth with their claws every time she spoke. They only responded when she called them in wolf language.
Despite this, Ye Zhizhi still insisted on learning to speak.
The wolf pack had recently started going out hunting more frequently, but her progress in speaking was still slow, because every time she practiced, the wolf cub would howl along, and eventually she would howl too.
...Forget it, as long as I learn it.
At this time, the dead branches and leaves that she had worked so hard to dry were completely dry, which meant that she could proceed to the next step!
Thinking that he would be able to eat meat soon, Ye Zhizhi slurped even louder.
Maybe it was because she ate a lot of different kinds of wild fruits and supplemented a lot of nutrition. In the past few days, a few tips of teeth have appeared on her gums, and she has started to grow teeth again!
When she can make a fire and roast meat, she will eat a big mouthful.
Ye Zhizhi ran to the rocks inside the nest with a bunch of dead leaves. There was a small pit there, which was the nest she had chosen long ago for making fire.
She stuffed the dead leaves into the pit, dragged over a handful of dead branches and broke them into small pieces. She took the wooden stick she carried with her, inserted the pointed end into the pit, and put her two black claws together, spinning and rubbing hard.
That should be it, right?
Ye Zhizhi lowered his head and stared at the place where the wooden stick and the dead leaf met, spinning it vigorously with his little hands.
As long as there is fire, she can eat meat!
I don’t know if it’s because of the environment or she wasn’t spinning fast enough, but Ye Zhizhi’s palms were red and the skin was broken, but no sparks were seen.
Ye Zhizhi tried a few more times, and finally stopped because his hands were so painful that he couldn't bear it anymore.
She thought hard about which step was wrong and why couldn't she start a fire?
Without fire, she couldn't eat barbecue.
She is over one year old now. Drinking wolf milk alone will not make her full. She cannot eat raw meat and is also worried that raw meat contains many parasites. What if she eats it and is bitten to death by the parasites in pain? The thought of having bugs in her body makes her hair stand on end.
Drilling wood to make fire didn't work for the time being, so Ye Zhizhi threw the stick aside and breathed on his bloodied little hand, thinking about finding other ways.
The pointed wooden stick rolled on the ground for a moment and stopped in the corner.
