29 Wilderness Survival
◎The storm is coming.◎
Ye Zhizhi suddenly smelled a pungent odor.
She looked around, covered her nose and sniffed, and finally her eyes fell on the baked egg in front of her.
Ye Zhizhi: “…”
She came to her senses and cried out in grief, her sugar-coated egg!
Why would it go bad? It's still cracked open, like cracking open an egg and leaving it to fry in the sun.
Ye Zhizhi's heart ached. She had been running around in the forest for so many days and had only picked up five eggs, and now one of them was wasted!
The wolf cub who was playing and biting suddenly heard the wolf sister's cry and jumped up in a few steps.
Chi——
Before they could see what was going on, they keenly smelled a pungent odor.
Yinyi picked up the wolf girl and ran away quickly with the other wolf cubs.
Ye Zhizhi's feet were less than 20 centimeters off the ground. She swayed twice and struggled to land.
Yin Yi lowered his head and put the wolf girl on the ground. Seeing that the wolf girl was still looking at the direction of the stone reluctantly, and arching her little body, he told the wolf girl not to go over there because there would be attacks there.
Ye Zhizhi touched Yin Yi's head, and finally went over resolutely under Yin Yi's pull.
Yin Yi had no choice but to follow, but his wolf face became more and more distorted as he got closer.
After just a moment, the stench became even stronger.
As Ye Zhizhi's sense of smell became more acute, the smell became more unbearable for her. She held her breath, went over, caught the bad guy in her hand, and quickly dug a hole to bury him.
This is what she made, but it can't be left like this forever, otherwise the whole area will stink for a long time.
After cutting off the source of the stench, the stench in the air soon dissipated. Yin Yi's distorted expression returned to normal, and he ran forward in surprise, lowered his head and sniffed. There was really no smell.
The wolf cub that had run away also came over and rubbed against Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi was sad for a while, but soon she comforted herself, saying it was okay, she still had four eggs! It was just that she couldn't cook them.
There's nothing wrong with eating raw eggs; it's better than eating raw meat.
Ye Zhizhi ran back to the nest, picked up another egg, cracked a hole in it, and when he was mentally preparing himself for the eggshell, he saw the silver wolf who had just returned to the nest.
The silver wolf just heard the cubs' cry and rushed to the cave entrance in an instant, but when he didn't see that the cubs were in danger, he ignored them and went back into the cave.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the wolf mother, walked up to it, made up his mind, closed his eyes, raised his head and put the eggshell opening to his mouth.
Ye Zhizhi swallowed it whole. The cut she made was quite large, so she gulped it down in one breath.
Finally she licked her lips. Although it still tasted strange, the fishy smell was not so strong that it was unbearable.
So Ye Zhizhi made a few sounds to the wolf mother, indicating that he could eat the eggs.
The silver wolf looked at the cub without blinking, as if he understood something.
When food is scarce, wolves will also look for other food sources, such as animal eggs, but this is a choice they have no choice but to make.
However, the silver wolf seemed to be thinking that eating eggs was better than eating plants, after all, eggs were also one of their foods.
Ye Zhizhi wondered if Wolf Mom understood what she meant. Now that she knew she could eat other things, she wouldn't let her eat raw meat anymore, would she? She ate one and stopped eating. After all, she didn't know if eating raw eggs would cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Nutritional considerations were secondary. It would be best if she didn't have any reaction.
Ye Zhizhi felt that since he could drink cold water, even unboiled rainwater, at such a young age without any discomfort, his stomach and intestines must be very strong.
Sure enough, she played with the wolf mother for half a day and there was nothing abnormal with her body.
Ye Zhizhi was delighted. Finally, she had one more egg in her diet! She still had three eggs, one a day, enough for three days!
Ye Zhizhi planned to continue looking for the wolf mother to take her to a farther place to continue searching tomorrow, but the wolves went out hunting before dawn the next day.
She was surprised. Hadn't the wolves gone out two days ago? Why was the interval so short this time?
Since the wolves were not around, Ye Zhizhi couldn't run far, so he had to play with the little wolf cubs for half a day before continuing to work outside the cave.
She waited at the cave entrance until sunset, and then saw the wolves coming back in the afterglow of the sunset.
Ye Zhizhi rushed over, howling happily, welcoming them home.
Unexpectedly, the wolves seemed to be very cold today and did not respond to her. Even the mother wolf just turned her head slightly to her side and walked into the cave.
Ye Zhizhi followed Wolf Brother in, confused. She saw the wolves walking up to the boulder nest as if in a line, and coming down after a while. She walked forward and saw that each wolf had spit out four or five intact eggs from its mouth, which fell on the grass nest.
Her eyes widened slightly, and in just a moment, the grass nest was filled with eggs.
This is--
The wolves had already left their den. Yin Yi rubbed Ye Zhizhi and wagged his tail as if to ask for credit.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes were moist and her nose was sore. Why are everyone so nice?
She hugged Wolf Brother and rubbed him hard, then hugged the second-closest Wolf King, Dad, completely forgetting her previous words to ignore him. She even rushed over to Uncle Scar, who had not yet completely stepped off the boulder, and hugged his hind legs fiercely.
Just because they knew she was willing to eat eggs, they spent a whole day looking for food for her. The wolves really were... How could they be so nice to her?
If the other wolves had not walked away, Ye Zhizhi would have hugged each wolf to express his gratitude.
But it doesn’t matter if it’s a little late, there will be opportunities in the future.
Ye Zhizhi was all smiles as she picked up all the eggs in the nest. Even though the eggshells were covered in wolf's saliva, she didn't mind at all.
Ye Zhizhi used a corner on the boulder, away from the edge of the grass nest, to pile up fruits, but when she looked around, she found that there was also space for eggs next to it.
She can eat so many eggs for two or three months!
The normal temperature in the cave can also keep it for a long time, and it will definitely not become smelly or spoil so quickly.
Ye Zhizhi was still thinking about thanking the wolves the next day, but he didn't expect them to go out again, and even stay away for two days.
The abundance of prey in spring and thereafter made her forget that it was normal for the wolves to come back after a day or two every time they went out hunting.
When Ye Zhizhi saw the wolves coming back again with a lot of prey, she realized that it was time to store food for the rainy season.
Time flies by unknowingly and summer is coming to an end.
The silver wolf that came back this time paid special attention to Ye Zhizhi's condition and found that the cub was in good condition after it had been away for two days. It licked the cub's head so that it could go out hunting without worry.
Ye Zhizhi's condition was indeed much better than before. Although she was still a little hungry, as she grew older, she had become accustomed to this state of hunger. What's more, she had a lot of wild fruits and eggs to fill her stomach, so she could be considered to have eaten something.
The four little wolf cubs have stopped drinking milk completely and started eating meat.
With four new members added this year, the pack’s responsibility to support its family has grown even greater.
Now the wolf pack has a total of twenty members including her, including nine immature wolves and three old wolves, which have occupied more than half of the pack.
However, although the wolf cubs are not yet able to hunt large prey, they can cooperate to hunt some small animals, so they do not need to be raised completely by the wolf pack.
Ye Zhizhi discovered that although wolves had no concept of keeping prey in captivity, sometimes the prey they brought back for storage was still breathing, but unable to move.
Such prey will be stored relatively longer.
While the entire wolf pack was running around, Ye Zhizhi was not idle either. She was studying how to preserve fruits and eggs for a longer time.
During this period, Ye Zhizhi was like an ant moving house, picking up all the edible wild fruits nearby.
The fruit stored in the cave was increasing, and those that could not be kept for a long time were almost all eaten by her and the wolf. Although the wolf did not like to eat food other than meat, when the wolf cubs and wolf pups appeared next to Ye Zhizhi, they could not escape the fate of being fed.
The days passed by busily, and the prey in the cave quickly filled up. Ye Zhizhi looked at his harvest and felt very at ease.
Her eggs increased instead of decreased, and when the wolves went out hunting, they would still bring her eggs from time to time.
She will definitely have a good time during the upcoming rainy season!
After a hot summer in the forest, the climate is obviously beginning to change.
The pure blue sky turned into a deep gray-blue, the pure white clouds like cotton candy were stained gray, and the sun hid in the clouds, leaving only a faint layer of light.
There is a dull atmosphere in the air, which is oppressive and inexplicably irritating.
The wind is quiet and the trees are still, as if brewing the calm before the storm.
The atmosphere in the cave was not affected by the weather at all. The cubs were running around on the flat ground, which was very lively.
Ye Zhizhi ran back and forth, with four little wolf cubs chasing after him.
Now they have grown a lot bigger, and are almost exactly the same as the cubs she saw when she just woke up from the cave, except for the silver wolf cub.
Ye Zhizhi thought of his father, the wolf king, who was driven away by the wolf mother shortly after returning to the den and has not been able to return to the den yet.
Her wolf brothers and sisters may be a long way off.
The Silver First-Class Wolf, who had completely shed his cub form, turned into a young wolf and was beginning to transform into an adult wolf, looked at the five little wolf cubs who were howling at play. They had not yet completely shed their cub mentality and were eager to join in the fun.
Finally, Erzong and Xiaobai joined in first, followed by Yinyi. Sanbai originally thought it was childish and just wanted to watch from the side, but after a while he joined in passively.
The adult wolves looked at the group of playing cubs with a comfortable posture, gentle eyes, and their fluffy tails swung from time to time.
As they were making a fuss, a wolf howl suddenly sounded from far away outside the cave.
The moment the wolf howled, the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in the cave suddenly froze.
The wolf king stood on the slope, his eyes gazing towards the cave entrance with ice-cold expression, his whole body emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
