40 Wilderness Survival
◎Wait! Take her with you too!◎
She almost got slapped in the mouth again, luckily she reacted quickly!
Ye Zhizhi blinked the big, shiny black eyes above his little hand, and only put down his hand after making sure that the wolf mother had given up the idea of killing him.
The silver wolf turned its head and looked at her again, as if observing whether she would make any more strange noises.
Ye Zhizhi pursed her lips and looked back with innocent eyes.
Ye Zhizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief when Wolf Mother stopped paying attention to her. She consoled herself by telling herself that she was still young and her speech wasn't fully developed yet, so it was normal for her to be slurred. The fact that she could speak proved her language hadn't deteriorated. When she was older, she would be able to speak fluently. It didn't matter whether she spoke now or not.
Ye Zhizhi's attention returned to the pile of plants in front of her. She still didn't recognize what the herbs that Wolf King Dad and Wolf Mom brought back were, but she remembered their smell and shape. One day she would know.
The first thing to do is to plant them all first.
Ye Zhizhi had never seen the living environment of these plants, so he could only guess and try by finding a place with more lush vegetation in the territory.
The place that the wolf king and mother went to must be quite far and dangerous. They were gone for three whole days and three nights before they brought her back. I guess they didn't take care of her and didn't bring her with them, right?
When Ye Zhizhi thought of this, she became even more angry. She couldn't cause trouble for the wolf king father and the wolf mother. It would be bad if they got hurt because of her unreasonable behavior.
In the end, it would be good to have more herbs in their territory. The wolves were so smart that they would learn from her actions and apply them to other situations. She felt that before long, the wolves might even be able to grow their own herbs.
Ye Zhizhi thought about it while tidying up the plants, then sat on the wolf mother and asked her to take him out for a walk.
Judging from the shape of the plant's roots, it doesn't look like it was planted in cracks in the rocks. It should be growing normally in the soil and should be easier to grow.
As soon as Ye Zhizhi and the others went out, it wasn't long before a large group of wolves followed them.
They all wanted to see what else this strange little wolf cub in the pack could do. In general, they were a group of curious wolves who loved to watch the fun.
Ye Zhizhi has long been accustomed to being watched. If the wolves don’t follow her one day, she will find it even more strange!
Ye Zhizhi soon found a suitable place for planting. The surrounding vegetation was relatively lush, but the sunlight was not blocked by tall vegetation, and the soil was more nutrient-rich.
She chose several places to dig holes.
Not knowing what kind of environment these plants are adapted to, Ye Zhizhi tried to choose as many plants from different environments as possible.
Digging the hole was not difficult, mainly because there were wolves to help. As soon as they saw Ye Zhizhi squatting down and digging the ground with a stick, they used their two claws to dig.
Yin Yi was digging while looking at Ye Zhizhi's two claws.
Suddenly I felt that it was better not to be disabled. Look, it can dig the soil easily, but the wolf girl’s two small claws can’t do it. Moreover, its four claws can run faster and catch prey easily, but the wolf girl can’t do that.
Wolf sister still has to rely on it for survival.
Ye Zhizhi: “?” She looked at Yin Yi doubtfully for a few times, and always felt that Brother Wolf was thinking about something fantastic again, but she couldn’t guess what Brother Wolf was thinking, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
With the help of the wolves, Ye Zhizhi quickly planted all the plants.
These plants looked wilted under direct sunlight.
She licked her dry lips and felt that not only the plants needed water, but she too.
The brown wolf mother has very little milk. If she runs out of milk one day, she might die of thirst.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the sky. The climate here was very special. It never rained except during the rainy season. She had to find a way to find water.
Seeing that the wolves were not at all anxious to drink water, Ye Zhizhi guessed that they would replenish water while hunting.
Didn't they consider that the cubs also needed to drink water? Ye Zhizhi thought that the wolf pack might have thought about this, because when the wolf cubs ate prey, they would drink animal blood to quench their thirst.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the sky. It was morning when the wolf king and his mother came back. Now after all their busy work, it was almost noon.
The sun is shining brightly, but it's not yet at its hottest.
How could she tell the wolves that she wanted to find water?
Ye Zhizhi thought about the actions he had taken before.
So she howled to call out to Brother Wolf, and when Brother Wolf looked over, she licked her dry mouth and made swallowing movements.
Yin tilted his head and it understood at a glance.
It looked around.
It was the end of the rainy season before, and when Wolf Girl wanted to drink water, there was water outside the cave, but now it's not raining, so there's no water...
Got it!
Yin Yi raised his head and howled, then turned and ran away quickly.
Erzhong, Sanbai and Xiaobai heard Yinyi's call and immediately followed him.
Ye Zhizhi: “???” She anxiously called out to Brother Wolf to come back quickly, wait! Take her with you!
When Yin heard the wolf sister's voice, he thought she was eager for water, so he ran faster and disappeared with the other wolves in a flash.
Ye Zhizhi chased for a while but failed to catch up, and stomped his feet in anger, "Stupid Brother Wolf!"
The silver wolf who was watching silently on the side: "..." It walked over and pushed Ye Zhizhi, then bent down.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and she climbed up happily, howling in a baby voice, waiting for the wolf mother to take her to chase.
It turned out that she had thought too well. The mother wolf had no intention of catching up with her and she took her cubs back to the den.
Ye Zhizhi: “…” He became even angrier.
She was so angry that she took a nap in the arms of the silver wolf. Not long after she woke up, it was already evening, and she saw the wolves coming back, all wet.
Yin Yi and the others' hair had been blown half dry while they were running. Now their hair exploded, and Ye Zhizhi saw the dead branches in their mouths.
Look at Yin Yi again, the way they looked at her with their eyes open, as if asking for praise.
How could he be angry? Ye Zhizhi touched Yin Yi's drooping forehead and smiled brightly.
Erzong and Sanbai also wanted to touch it, but because they were worried about the water in their mouths, they just looked at Ye Zhizhi and wagged their tails.
Ye Zhizhi did not show favoritism and also gave the other wolves a loving touch.
Only then did she look at the water in the wolves' mouths. What they had bitten were wooden stakes or tree trunks. The holes in the middle were obviously dug out by the wolves with their claws. After running all the way, most of the water in them had been gone, but there was still a lot left.
Ye Zhizhi was very surprised. He thought that these could be used to hold water and other things in the cave. Why hadn't he thought of it before?
She took the dead wood from the wolf's mouth and placed it near the fire pit.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the water inside. It was clear and refreshing, and she felt very thirst-quenching just by looking at it. She couldn't help swallowing, thinking that if she could drink rainwater, then this water should be drinkable too. So she took a small sip.
If possible, what she needs is something that can replace the pot. If possible, she can boil the water before drinking it, so of course it is better to boil it.
Ye Zhizhi thought of the water source, and there were many things she could find, such as fish and shrimp. For example, if there were river clams, she might be able to use the clam shells to boil water, meat, or soup... The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
So she and Yin Yi communicated with difficulty. In the end, Yin Yi finally understood what she meant, but he pretended not to understand.
Yintian is not afraid of anything except the claws of the wolf mother.
The wolf mother would not allow it to take the wolf sister out of the territory, not to mention that it could not take the wolf sister out secretly under the wolf mother's nose.
Ye Zhizhi had no choice but to go to the wolf mother holding a wooden stake of water, and expressed his feelings to her with howls and gestures.
Wolf mother: “…” What is the cub trying to do now?
Despite thinking so in her heart, the wolf mother still indulged her cubs in some harmless things.
So early the next morning, Ye Zhizhi led the wolf pack to inspect the medicinal plants and breeding industry.
The plants need to be watered as soon as they are planted, so Ye Zhizhi and the wolves brought the water and poured it on the ground near the medicinal plants.
Although the medicinal plant looked more wilted after a day, it still did not affect her good mood, and she ran out happily with the wolf pack.
Sure enough, her guess was correct. The water source they were going to was not far from the territory.
However, it was not the big river she had imagined, but a stream about one meter wide.
When Ye Zhizhi saw it, her eyes were brighter than the sun in the sky. She couldn't wait to rush down, and her lower body sank into the water.
The cool water gave her a shiver.
Ye Zhizhi looked down and saw a layer of gray dirt slowly spreading around his body.
Ye Zhizhi: "..." Although she had been trying very hard to ignore her cleanliness, she had to admit that she was indeed a dirty baby. Now that she thought about it, she felt uncomfortable everywhere, so she put the matter of catching fish and shrimp behind her and cleaned herself first.
The clothes she was wearing had never been washed properly except when they got wet during the rainy season. Rubbing them with her hands, she could barely make out that the main body was the color of the small quilt, probably pink, with beautiful small flowers embroidered on it.
The wolves also ran to the stream and saw Ye Zhizhi rubbing his "skin" seriously and washing his fur in the water.
Ye Zhizhi still remembered that the herbal layer on her body was insect-repellent, so she didn't dare rub it too hard. If it lost its effect and she got bitten by insects again, she would suffer.
She simply washed it, then focused on washing her hair. After adjusting to the temperature of the stream, Ye Zhizhi no longer felt cold. She buried her head in the water and rubbed it vigorously. Her hair had never been taken care of, and it was already quite long and tangled. She couldn't even smooth it out by soaking it in water and combing it herself.
Ye Zhizhi didn't care about it anymore and added another task to herself in her mind: she wanted to make a comb.
When he had almost finished washing himself, Ye Zhizhi suddenly felt light and comfortable all over.
Only then did she have time to look around.
This stream flows in a depression among the mountains and forests. No one knows where it comes from or where it goes.
The water flow here is very gentle, and there are many mossy stones scattered in the water, half exposed on the water surface, while the stones in the water are washed very clean.
The water is very clear and you can see everything under the water clearly.
Ye Zhizhi observed and searched for a long time, but found that there were no clams, not even a single fish or shrimp.
There is a saying that goes, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish." This is exactly what it means.
Ye Zhizhi was very disappointed that she couldn't change her taste, so she simply started looking for stones.
Can stones be heated?
If she could find a flat stone or one with a depression, she might be able to make a stone barbecue or boil water for soup!
