3 Wilderness Survival
◎My life is over!◎
Ye Zhizhi's round eyes widened even wider, and her small body stiffened into a rigid posture. No matter how she screamed inwardly, not a single sound came out of her mouth. She watched helplessly as the giant wolf approached her, getting closer and closer.
The blurry giant shadow became clearer in her pupils. It was obviously a majestic giant wolf with agile limbs.
The giant wolf lay down beside Ye Zhizhi and surrounded her. The huge size made Ye Zhizhi look like a small bean embedded in a big white ball.
As if sensing the cub's fear and anxiety, it licked the cub's hair on the top of its head soothingly, then licked its whole body back and forth, and then pushed the cub's head under its abdomen.
Ye Zhizhi's little head stopped moving, her thoughts were blank. She let the giant wolf toss her around, and she didn't dare to cry out even when the barbs on the wolf's tongue scratched her skin.
It's a wolf...
Suddenly, a milky smell rushed into her nostrils, making her hungry stomach growl. Instinctively, she opened her mouth, grabbed the source of food, and sucked it in with all her might.
Gurgle gurgle.
Ye Zhizhi instantly forgot everything, her mind full of the milk in her mouth. She held the food bag with her two little hands and ate voraciously, her belly bulging with milk.
By the time his shriveled belly was bloated, Ye Zhizhi's little head had become a mess, and his big, shiny black eyes were dazed.
She managed to get through it on her own. She had just recovered from a serious illness and had been racking her brains thinking since she was awake. Her frail body could not stay awake for long.
Her sucking action gradually slowed down, and the little cub who had been trying hard to drink milk just now fell asleep.
The mother wolf's animal eyes looked lovingly at the cub who was sleeping soundly on her belly, with his little hands still holding the food bag, very protective of the food.
The little wolf cub, having finished its meal, came running back happily.
The already round belly is even more bulging, making it more noticeable than the four short legs.
It pounced on them excitedly. The energetic little wolf cub wanted to pull up his sister from the same litter to have fun, but was swatted away by the mother wolf with her claws retracted.
The female wolf narrowed her golden pupils slightly, giving a strong warning: Don't wake up your sister.
The little wolf's ears drooped slightly and he whimpered in grievance.
The mother wolf paid no attention to the energetic cub. She rested her head on her front legs, her pupils slightly closed.
The little wolf cub lowered its head and looked for a while, its slightly round vertical pupils rolling around. It crawled quietly closer, got under the mother wolf's belly, and squeezed in.
The mother wolf opened her eyes and looked at it. Seeing that it didn't make enough noise to wake up the cub, she ignored it.
The little wolf clung to the wolf sister, nestling in a comfortable position. Surrounded by the mother wolf's breath, he slowly closed his eyes.
The harmonious family of three fell asleep peacefully.
At this time, the wolves, having eaten and drunk their fill, lay down comfortably, and the entire cave gradually calmed down.
When Ye Zhizhi woke up again, she felt warm and heard soft cries. She asked if she was scared of being sandwiched between the mother wolf and the cubs. She had no emotions left and only one thought in her mind.
She wants to pee!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" She waved her little hands and screamed in a panic.
The mother wolf beside him opened her eyes, as if she understood. She picked up the cub, stood up, and left the dry grass nest in a few jumps.
When he came back, Ye Zhizhi's whole body was red.
The mother wolf put the cubs back into the den, licked them, continued to hold the two cubs under her belly, and then closed her eyes.
Ye Zhizhi and the mother wolf left and came back, but the little wolf cub did not wake up. It twisted its chubby little body, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep soundly beside Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi, who was surrounded by fur again, did not fall asleep. Even after she came to her senses, she could not fall asleep now.
The furry thing surrounding her is a wolf!!!
Ye Zhizhi didn't dare to move, for fear that if she moved, the wolf would get angry and eat her in one bite. Her small body was not even enough to fill the mother wolf's teeth.
Ye Zhizhi thought he would be so scared that his heart would beat at 180 miles per hour. In fact, apart from the nervousness that adults would feel when facing a ferocious predator, the baby's instinct was to feel that the breath of the mother wolf was very reassuring.
It might be because the mother wolf took good care of her during her sleep. She had become accustomed to the mother wolf's breath, otherwise she would not have slept so soundly just now. She was awakened only by her body sending out signals of need.
Her little brain, which had stopped turning, started to work again, thinking about her misunderstanding...
Why did she think this was a doghouse? Had she lost her IQ after being sick? This was clearly a wolf's den!
Now look more closely. These wolves look like dogs at first glance, but they are different from dogs. The wolves' mouths are more prominent, their ears are drooping, their tails are shorter but their hair is fluffier. They have a fierce and wild aura and are intimidating.
She was taken back to the wolf's den.
…
So the question is, was she taken back to the wolf den as a reserve food or as a wolf cub?
If it was for food reserves, was it because she was too small and they wanted to raise her a little bigger before eating her? If it was because she was a wolf cub...how would a human cub get away with this?
Ye Zhizhi pondered the mother wolf's attitude towards her and felt that the latter possibility was more likely. She had heard before that wolf packs would pick up their cubs and raise them in their dens. There had even been reports of "wolf children" in social news. Now she had also become a wolf child.
Since she was being raised as a wolf cub, she didn't have to worry about being eaten for the time being.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhizhi's little body, which had been stiff for a long time, relaxed slightly. She was not afraid. Although the female wolf was huge and strong, with one of its legs taller and stronger than her, it had no ill will towards her. It was even quite kind to her. Not only did it make it convenient for her to take care of her, it also gave her milk.
Moreover, the huge creature she felt approaching her before she passed out was this she-wolf, right? In other words, it was her life-saving wolf.
After that, she fell seriously ill, and it must have been because the mother wolf never gave up on her that she managed to survive.
Based on these, it is not an exaggeration to call her mother wolf!
Mother……
Ye Zhizhi thought of her family in this life.
Maybe it was because of the illness that her past memories seemed to be covered by a veil, and it took her a while to remember them.
According to the original novel, she was never found, perhaps this was the force majeure of the plot.
In the original novel, the heroine Bai Yueguang's sister was lost in her childhood, and it happened so early. With her small arms and legs, no matter how ambitious she was to protect herself, it was just a thought, and there was no room for her to do anything.
The only thing to be thankful for is that her limited-time experience card in this life has not expired yet, so she can still struggle.
Ye Zhizhi clenched her little fists.
It doesn’t matter, she still remembers it. When she grows up and can run and jump, she will be able to walk out of the mountains and forests and ask the police to take her home!
It will only take one or two years at the earliest and she will be able to go home!
Ye Zhizhi made a plan and was very excited, but then she felt hungry again.
Ye Zhizhi quietly raised her head. The female wolf closed her eyes and rested, breathing slowly, and had fallen into a deep sleep. She watched quietly while her small hand carefully touched the grain bag. Seeing that the female wolf was still not awake, she couldn't resist the temptation and buried her head in the food, sucking it. As she ate, she fell asleep again in a daze, and hugged the female wolf instinctively with great dependence.
After she fell asleep, the mother wolf opened her eyes, lowered her head and licked her cub who had finally survived many hardships. Feeling her normal breathing and body temperature, the mother wolf's eyes were full of love. Her cub had successfully survived.
When Ye Zhizhi woke up again, the mother wolf was not in the den. There was only a wolf cub who was only two times bigger than her.
Ye Zhizhi was relieved when she saw the mother wolf was gone, even though she repeatedly told herself that the mother wolf treated her like her own cub and she didn't need to be afraid. However, facing a behemoth that was so many times bigger than her, and a ferocious carnivore, she still felt quite stressed.
Ye Zhizhi was naturally not afraid of the little wolf cub who had little deterrent power. It was just that this little wolf cub, who was not sure whether he was the wolf brother or the wolf brother, was too lively.
I always want her to get up and have fun with it.
Did she not want to have fun? Her limbs were too weak to support her and she couldn't move.
Ye Zhizhi, whose little body was twisted and tilted by the arch, had no expression on her face. She surrendered and called it "Brother, Brother Wolf, please let go of your sister's fragile little body!"
Ye Zhizhi’s long-term non-cooperation made the little wolf give up the idea of playing with the wolf sister, and soon it ran away to find its friends to play with.
Ye Zhizhi was the only one left in the dry grass nest.
After waking up twice, Ye Zhizhi could feel that she was in much better spirits. She paddled her limbs, but soon felt tired. It should be the sequelae of recovering from a serious illness and not yet fully recovered.
Ye Zhizhi moved her little head. She was now lying on her back in a different direction because of the push of Brother Wolf. She could only see the bare cave ceiling. One side of the mountain wall was above her head. She could not see the situation in the cave clearly. She could only hear the sound of the wolf cubs playing at the bottom of her feet.
Like a little turtle lying on its back, she paddled her limbs for a long time but failed to turn around. Then she thought of turning over, thinking that changing her position would make it easier to exert force.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know how long she'd been ill, but she estimated she should have learned to roll over by now. She'd heard the common sense about human babies: rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and rolling over. Some learned earlier than others, but the general idea was pretty much the same.
She is probably far from eight months old, maybe five or six months old, and she successfully turned over once yesterday.
Her face turned red, and she used the center of gravity of her back and coordinated her limbs to quickly turn over successfully. However, she was still out of breath and her energy was greatly damaged.
Ye Zhizhi rested for a while, mobilized all her strength, and moved forward like a cricket pupa. It was indeed easier to exert strength while lying down. Soon she successfully changed the direction of her head and feet, and then raised her head to look out.
The dry grass nest where Ye Zhizhi was lying was located on a higher ground, on a huge rock that was slightly tilted upwards. She could easily see the entire cave.
She observed quietly.
The cave was tall and large, and light came through some cracks, so it wasn't dark at all.
The cavern seemed naturally formed. As far as she could see, it was roughly the size of a football field. The floor wasn't completely flat, but rather uneven. Rocks were jagged and craggy near the cliffs, while boulders like the one she was standing in were embedded in the surroundings. The overall surface was a darker color, covered in mud and rocks, with scattered patches of green grass.
The top of the cave was also uneven, with stone pillars hanging down. Some were so high that she couldn't see the limit of the top with her current eyesight, while the top of the cave near the mountain wall seemed to be within reach.
I saw a dark cave entrance on the right front side of the mountain wall, and I didn’t know where it led to.
Four very conspicuous wolf cubs were playing and fighting on the flat ground, scratching and biting each other. Not far away, there were strong adult wolves passing by leisurely, most of whom were lying down to rest.
Ye Zhizhi counted and found that there were more adult wolves left in the cave than before. The most noticeable one among them was a big gray wolf lying at the top of the slope some distance away.
Ye Zhizhi was deeply impressed by it. Even though it had not stood up at this moment and she could not see it clearly, she could feel its majestic and domineering aura from its huge body.
That is the king of the wolf pack!
Ye Zhizhi stared at it curiously.
I guess no one in the world has the same adventure as her, being able to come into close contact with wolves and stay quietly in the wolf den to observe them.
Moreover, from the baby's perspective, everything she saw looked like a giant. Especially at this moment, the wolf king was getting closer and closer to her, and it became clearer and clearer in her eyes. She could see more directly that the wolf king's body was tall and strong, like a moving hill, even bigger than the mother wolf.
She also saw the wolf king's eyes, the pupils were a very light yellow-brown, sharp, and deep...
!!!
Ye Zhizhi's eyes suddenly widened, and she tilted her head back blankly, staring at the wolf king who had already walked in front of her. The creepy oppressive force rushed towards her, making her hair stand on end and her blood instantly cold. She felt like a prey being toyed with by a predator, stiff and motionless.
If the aura Ye Zhizhi felt from the female wolf was loving and friendly, then the aura from the wolf king was completely the opposite.
The pair of yellow-brown animal eyes looked down at her condescendingly, with the cold and ferocious gaze that only belonged to a top predator, as if in the next second, it would open its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs and teeth to tear her to pieces.
Ye Zhizhi had a strong intuition that the Wolf King knew that she was not a wolf cub!
A few big words flashed through her mind——
My life is over!
