32 Wilderness Survival
What can she do?
The silver wolf took away the strip of meat from Ye Zhizhi's hand.
Ye Zhizhi's mouth felt empty, and he looked around blankly, only to realize that he had been crying without knowing when, and was even retching while chewing meat.
The silver wolf licked away the embarrassed tears on Ye Zhizhi's little face, and there was helplessness and indulgence in the animal's eyes.
Yin Yi buried his head and ate the meat, then he had some strength to look up. When he saw the wolf girl's appearance, he howled.
It doesn’t matter if wolf sister doesn’t like to eat meat. When wolf brother gets better, I will find your favorite eggs for you.
Silver Wolf pushed the meat toward Yin Yi. Knowing that Wolf Sister didn't like meat, he ate it all without resistance. Ye Zhizhi wanted to take it back to prove he could eat it, but it was too late.
The second brown wolf mother, who had finished her meal, came over, licked Ye Zhizhi, then lay on the ground, making a low call from her throat.
It was calling her to come and drink milk.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes were fixed on the subject, and she didn't move for a long time. It was Wolf Mother who pushed her over.
Ye Zhizhi lay on the belly of the second brown wolf mother, and she raised her head and looked at it. The second brown wolf mother lowered her head and licked Ye Zhizhi's head, looking at her with a loving look in her animal eyes.
But Ye Zhizhi seemed to see the sadness hidden under its kindness.
The one who lost her cubs is the she-wolf in front of us.
Ye Zhizhi just watched them being born, watched them growing up day by day, and stayed together almost inseparable. In her eyes, they were family, playmates, and brothers and sisters.
But Xiao Ba is Er Zong's biological son...
Ye Zhizhi buried his head and drank milk silently.
The second brown wolf mother kept looking at her with loving eyes, as if she was looking at her own cub.
Seeing Ye Zhizhi stopped drinking halfway, he gently nudged her with his head, asking her to eat more.
Ye Zhizhi paused and continued eating until his stomach became so bloated that he could not eat any more.
The second brown wolf mother licked Ye Zhizhi again. Ye Zhizhi looked at its animal eyes and couldn't help but raise his hands to hug it. He rubbed his little face against it and let out a low whimper.
She was comforting it not to be sad, and also seemed to be warning herself not to always be immersed in sadness.
The second brown wolf mother seemed to get some comfort from Ye Zhizhi. She licked Ye Zhizhi again before standing up and walking away.
The silver wolf lay down, holding Ye Zhizhi in its belly, then rested its head on its front legs and closed its eyes to rest.
After the wolves had eaten their fill, they returned to their caves and lay down.
They need to recover their physical condition as quickly as possible. Whether it is a human or an animal, eating, drinking, and sleeping well can help them repair themselves faster.
The cave was very quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the rain falling harder and harder outside.
Ye Zhizhi nestled against Wolf Mother's belly, unable to sleep for a moment... Rather than being unable to sleep, it was more that she was burdened with something, keeping her awake even though she was mentally exhausted. She stared at the wounds on Yin Yi's body with her bloodshot eyes wide open.
Its wounds had stopped bleeding and were slowly healing, leaving only bloody holes that looked hideous.
Yin Yi's breathing is now much heavier, it has survived its weakest period.
Ye Zhizhi asked himself.
What should she do?
What can she do?
Ye Zhizhi, who had no desire to sleep at all, got up quietly.
The silver wolf opened his eyes slightly, and seeing that the cub had no intention of leaving the cave, he ignored it, closed his eyes and continued to rest.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head and first looked at the wounds on the wolf king father and wolf mother. Their fur had not completely dried yet, and they had been wet in the rain for a whole day. Although the wounds on their bodies were not as deep as Yin Yi's, they did not look as well recovered as Yin Yi.
Ye Zhizhi looked down at her hands. The continuous heavy rain had faded the color of the comfrey on her body.
Since there are herbs that can remove toxins and reduce swelling, are there also herbs that can promote wound healing and flesh growth?
From the fact that the wolves would bring her comfrey to treat her insect bites, Ye Zhizhi knew that the wolves had a lot of survival wisdom of their own, perhaps passed down from generation to generation, or perhaps it was an instinct engraved in their genes.
When animals are seriously injured, they will seek out herbs to heal themselves. But the wolf father and mother went hunting without looking for herbs. Did the heavy rain hinder their ability to find them? Or is it that they don't have any herbs in this season?
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but knock her head. Why didn't she study Chinese medicine in her previous life? If she knew a little about herbal medicine, she could go find it...
Ye Zhizhi wanted to see if he could help, but sadly discovered that he could do nothing.
She is not even as useful as wolf's saliva. At least wolf's saliva can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation in wounds, thus promoting their healing.
This made Ye Zhizhi very frustrated. What the wolves needed most was food and treatment, but she couldn't help them at all.
It would be nice if she grew up a little bit, if she was really good...
If she thought about it carefully, she had done nothing for the wolves in the pack, even though it was because she was too young and still needed to be fed, but she couldn't take it for granted.
She didn't want to be a burden to the wolf pack.
She also wanted to... protect them.
The cave was not big, and Ye Zhizhi could see all the wolves at a glance. She walked over, alerted herself, and looked carefully one by one.
All the wolves in the pack had wounds of varying sizes. Some of the wounds were invisible from some angles, so she leaned over to take a look.
The wolves were familiar with Ye Zhizhi's scent, so she walked back and forth in the cave without attracting any attention. Even when the cubs cautiously approached their wounds to observe them, the wolves would at most open their eyes slightly to take a look. If they had the energy to do so, they would raise their heads and rub against her, then continue to close their eyes and rest.
Uncle Scar's injuries were not too serious, otherwise he would not have followed the Wolf King and Wolf Mother out hunting.
Despite Scar's unreliable appearance, he was actually ranked fourth in the pack in terms of fighting power. The third was Brokentail, who was always silent and steady, seemingly having no presence in the pack.
However, Broken Tail's injury was more serious than Scar's. Its injury was mainly in the more vulnerable part of its abdomen. In order to save its companion, it almost had its stomach cut open. If it was a little deeper, its intestines and internal organs would fall out, and it would have been beyond saving.
Ye Zhizhi touched Scar's fur with her small hands and found that it was not completely dry after shaking. It was still damp. She looked down at her clothes, which were almost dry. She took the long hem of the clothes in her hands and wiped its fur dry. The injured wolf was very fragile. What if it got sick because it didn't keep warm?
Scar opened her eyes, turned her head to look at the little cub squatting beside her, and rubbed its fur with her strange-looking "skin".
Scar: “…” It had no choice but to stand up and shake its body again and again, its hair flying everywhere and tiny water droplets splashing out.
After shaking out all the water, Scar looked at the little cub, his wolf eyes revealing a message: Is this okay?
Ye Zhizhi wiped the water that splashed onto her face, then wiped her body with her wet little hands. Then she raised her hand with a serious face and touched it. Her hair was already half dry. Even if she wiped it again, it wouldn't dry much. So she nodded: Okay, that's it.
Ye Zhizhi tucked his shirt back into his waist and continued walking towards the next wolf.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the only old wolf left in the tribe again and again, and confirmed again and again that its breathing was normal and its wounds were healing normally before he was reluctantly relieved.
Their pack can't afford to lose any more members.
Fortunately, their wounds did not become inflamed, infected or ulcerated, so recovery is only a matter of time.
Ye Zhizhi checked the conditions of all the wolves before returning to the silver wolf and lying down next to it.
After doing something, even if it was meaningless, Ye Zhizhi felt a little relieved. The neglected sleepiness came over her and she soon fell asleep.
When Ye Zhizhi woke up again, she was leaning against Yin Yi, with its tail resting on her, and its eyes were looking in the direction of Er Zong and the other three wolf cubs.
Ye Zhizhi sat up and looked over, only to see three cubs practicing pouncing and biting in a corner not far away.
Ye Zhizhi could see that they were exercising.
They did not dwell on sadness, but did what they wanted to do.
Yin Yi looked eager to exercise, but even though his condition had improved a little, he still couldn't stand up and walk around.
Ye Zhizhi stared at them for a long time. Maybe the space was too small, so they didn't flap their wings very hard and their injuries were not affected. So he didn't go over to stop them.
She turned her gaze to other parts of the cave. Wolf King Dad, Wolf Mom and Uncle Scar had gone out again.
The wolves in the cave were licking their wounds. When they couldn't lick the wounds themselves, they helped their companions.
When the mother brown wolf saw her cub wake up, she came over to feed her.
Ye Zhizhi did not resist, she couldn't let herself become weak.
The rain was still pouring down outside.
It should be daytime now, and the light coming through the cave entrance is relatively bright.
The cave was very quiet. Although Erzong and several wolf cubs were exercising again, the silence made the air in the cave heavy.
The wolf pack suffered a sudden ordeal. Not only did Ye Zhizhi have a lot of negative emotions accumulating in his heart, but even the eyes of each wolf were filled with depression, especially the three white wolf father. Not only did it lose three cubs overnight, but it also lost its beloved partner. However, it was very calm at this time, lying calmly and looking towards the direction of the cave entrance. However, its huge body seemed to be a volcano with roiling magma, which could erupt at any time.
This time the wolf king waited for the wolves to go out for three days and three nights, and only came back on the morning of the fourth day.
The three wolves that returned this time had a full load. The Wolf King and Silver Wolf were dragging two prey, one large and one small, in their mouths, while Scar not only had a large bunch of plants in his mouth, but his body was also covered with wet plants.
At first, Ye Zhizhi thought that Uncle Scar had fallen somewhere and had plants entangled on his body and had not had time to clean it up. But soon he found that these were the plants they brought back on purpose.
Uncle Scar spat the plants in his mouth into the corner of the cave, and Uncle Broken Tail came forward to help him bite off all the plants.
After the wolves finished eating at the cave entrance, they did not go back to lie down immediately. Instead, they walked to where the plants were placed, lowered their heads to bite off branches and leaves, chewed them in their mouths and swallowed them.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes lit up instantly. She squatted beside the plants and watched the wolves devour the plants after eating.
What would make a carnivore eat a bitter plant? Of course, when the plant is useful to them.
These are definitely herbs!
But what does it do? Treat internal injuries? Reduce inflammation and kill bacteria? Promote wound healing and speed up recovery?
Ye Zhizhi tried hard to remember the shape and taste of this herb.
She thought she had found her own value.
The wolves didn't know to stockpile herbs, but she knew that when she grew older, she would be able to find the herbs and then find a way to store them.
Even if the wolves are injured again one day, she can treat their wounds in time.
Instead of waiting for a long time to find the herbs for treatment.
Ye Zhizhi's worries were unfounded. This time, they were lucky. The wolf king and his mother had spent three or four days finding the herbs, but what if they didn't find them in time? Or what if the wolves were seriously injured and needed immediate treatment?
Ye Zhizhi soon noticed that the wolves did not eat a lot of plants. They only took two bites and then took a bunch back to their den. They continued to chew while lying down, and applied the crushed pieces to their wounds.
If you cannot reach the area by yourself, ask your companions for help.
This herb can not only be taken internally, but also applied externally!
When Ye Zhizhi saw a wolf struggling to apply medicine, she let out a howl and rushed over.
let me! !
The wolves, startled by the cub's cry, turned their heads and looked over: "?"
Feeling that she could help, Ye Zhizhi became more energetic. She applied herbs to the wolf that could not get medicine, and even chewed them up herself. Although her little teeth had difficulty chewing, and the herbs were bitter, her heart was happy.
After applying the herbs to all the wolves, Ye Zhizhi was not idle either. She walked back and forth between the wolves at least ten times a day to see if any wolf moved around and rubbed off the herbs on the wound.
At this time, she needs to make up for it.
The wolves who were being watched all the time: "..."
