45 Wilderness Survival
◎Don't come over here!◎
Ye Zhizhi carved a third scratch on the mountain wall.
This was her third winter in the jungle.
She successfully grew another year older.
This year, Ye Zhizhi finally stopped growing taller. Not only did she not lose weight, she also grew a little taller.
Of course, the reverse growth was just Yin Yi's own perception. Now, Yin Yi had fully grown into the form of a full-grown wolf. He hadn't grown any faster, just more robust. Meanwhile, Ye Zhizhi had grown a bit taller, and her figure had become fuller and more solid. In Yin Yi's eyes, it was like the wolf sister had finally started to grow.
After all, you still have to eat meat!
Yin Yi was very pleased. His wolf sister was finally growing up! But she was growing too slowly. After all this time, she had only grown a little bit. She also ate too little. He was thinking about how to get his wolf sister, who had a unique taste for food, to eat more.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know what Yin Yi was thinking. She looked at her hands and feet. She was not fat, but she was no longer skinny. She pinched the flesh on her little hands and felt a sense of firmness. Ye Zhizhi felt that if she continued like this, she would grow into a strong Barbie doll.
She imagined herself looking like a Barbie doll and quickly shook her head. Well... just having great strength would be enough. She didn't want her muscles to be too exaggerated. She still wanted to be pretty.
Silver Little Gray, who was squatting on the side, saw Sister Wolf suddenly shake her head, and then he shook his head too, looking silly and quite happy.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head to look at Silver Gray, who had grown several times bigger, and rubbed its head.
In comparison, she felt like she was growing very slowly. Silver Gray, who was one year younger than her, was now much bigger than her and had become a wolf cub.
The wind and snow had stopped a few days ago. The wolves had been cooped up in the cave for a whole winter. When they heard the echo of spring, they couldn't wait to run out of the cave to get some fresh air.
Ye Zhizhi watched the wolves running out of the cave one by one. Silver Little Gray howled and wanted to follow them, but the wolf father seemed to have forgotten about him and ran away early.
Silver Little Gray wanted to run after the wolf, but the wolf king lying in the den gave him a look and he folded his ears and lay on the ground, whimpering in grievance and not daring to move.
Ye Zhizhi also wanted to go out, but before she could take two steps with her short legs, she was stopped by the silver wolf who saw her intention.
Ye Zhizhi felt that the three wolf cubs in the tribe had been taken out of the cave by their wolf mother to get some fresh air. There was no reason why he and Silver Little Gray, who were obviously older, were still being controlled and not allowed to leave the den.
Her arms couldn't wrap around the wolf mother's forelimbs, so she clung to them and howled, saying that her muskox-skin suit wouldn't keep her warm. She wanted to go out! If the other cubs could go out, she wanted to go out too!
Silver Gray followed suit, digging its front paws onto Silver Wolf's other leg and howling loudly.
The silver wolf, who was annoyed by the noise, was silent for a moment, and glanced at the wolf king who was watching the fun on the side. Look at the cubs you gave birth to, they are so annoying wolves.
Wolf King: "?" This isn't my child? The Wolf King was silent.
In the end, the silver wolf could not resist the cubs' pleading and was willing to take them out.
However, this time, Ye Zhizhi could only stay on the back of the silver wolf. The ice and snow outside were so deep that the cub would probably get stuck in and couldn't get out if he wasn't careful.
As long as she could go out, Ye Zhizhi would be very happy. She had never seen what the forest looked like at this time!
With the cooperation of the wolf mother, she climbed onto her back and sat firmly.
The silver wolf then walked out of the cave slowly. Silver Little Gray, who was also allowed to do so, ran out of the cave howling. The wolf king who was walking behind him growled softly, and then ran back with his tail hanging down, following the silver wolf dejectedly.
As soon as Ye Zhizhi came out of the cave, he couldn't help shivering. The temperature outside was about ten degrees lower than that in the cave. It was really exciting!
She felt cold, but the temperature was within her tolerance range and she quickly adapted.
The silver wolf always pays attention to the reaction of its cubs. Although it is covered with fur, it will turn back if it cannot bear the temperature outside.
But the cub quickly adapted and even urged it to walk faster. The silver wolf silently quickened its pace.
Ye Zhizhi opened his big, dark eyes and looked at the scene in shock.
This is a world of ice and snow. At first glance, it is pure white snow, dotted with lush green. The large expanses of white are like the blank spaces left in the brush of an artist, with a very beautiful artistic conception.
For a moment, Ye Zhizhi even thought he was in a fairy tale world.
It was Silver Little Gray who suddenly appeared in her sight and brought her back to reality.
It followed the silver wolf quietly for not long, but soon it could no longer suppress its nature and began to run around. At first it ran around the silver wolf, and soon it ran farther and farther away. When it came back, its body was wet and dirty, and it had no idea where it was splashed with mud, and it looked very dirty.
It's like a beautiful painting that is accidentally stained.
Ye Zhizhi howled in disgust, he couldn't keep this wolf brother anymore.
Silver Little Gray had no idea that his wolf sister despised him. He came back, howled a few times, and then ran away happily.
Ye Zhizhi could feel that it was nearby, and the wolf king father followed it slowly, so he ignored it.
She sat on the silver wolf's back, looked around, and continued to appreciate the beauty of nature.
At this time, the snow and thin ice are just beginning to melt.
Ye Zhizhi discovered that the green plants in the forest did not have yellow leaves even in autumn and winter... Not all of them were evergreen. Some plants followed the cycle of the seasons, sprouting in spring, flourishing in summer, shedding leaves in autumn, and withering branches in winter.
But most of the trees are so lush and green that they seem insignificant.
The ice and snow melted into water, soaking the ground. A lot of snow water flowed on the ground, washing out small piles of dust, mud and fallen leaves, and then flowed into the low-lying areas, slowly merging into small streams, flowing downwards in all directions.
There are still many piles of ice that have not yet melted, forming natural ice sculptures. In some of the ice sculptures, you can vaguely see rocks and green branches.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but raise her head and close her eyes, taking a deep, deep breath of air. It was the coolness of ice and snow and the fragrance of trees, as if it instantly cleared out the foul air that had been trapped in her body for a whole winter, and she felt extremely comfortable all over.
There was a sudden chill and dull pain in my forehead.
Who? Who attacked her?
Ye Zhizhi opened her eyes instantly, looking around warily. Something was running down her forehead, down her eye sockets and nose, and into her mouth. It wasn't the smell of blood. Her hands couldn't be lifted from her fur cloak, so she licked it with her tongue. It was cold, the taste of snow. A silver wolf had passed beneath the tree, and the snow, still not fully melted, had fallen from the branches under its weight, hitting her forehead.
It was a false alarm.
She looked up at the ice crystals on the trees. They were crystal clear, like ice flowers blooming on the trees. They were very beautiful.
The wolves that had run away early were nowhere to be seen.
The silver wolf did not take Ye Zhizhi out of the territory. The scent of the silver wolves had become weaker and even farther away. It was obvious that they had run out of the territory.
Ye Zhizhi began to envy again. She also wanted to run away, but unfortunately she had no freedom now. If she wanted to leave the territory, she had to be under the supervision of the wolf mother. Even Yin Yi and the others could not take her out.
And even if she went out, she couldn't walk far. She just strolled around the area near the territory. The farthest she went was to the place where she collected purple grass.
Ye Zhizhi was still thinking that once she could run and jump again, she would walk out of the forest and find humans. Then she would definitely be sent to the police and she could go home!
Under the current circumstances, she can't get out at all!
Not to mention——
Ye Zhizhi raised her head and looked at the mountains in the distance. She had no idea which direction to go out, and she tried not to go deeper and deeper.
Forget it, let’s not think about it for now. There’s no point in thinking about it. There’s no hope for at least the next two years. She may have to wait until she’s five or six years old to have a chance.
The silver wolf carried her around the territory, and Ye Zhizhi took the opportunity to check on the growth of the medicinal plants.
The twigs of the medicinal plants were still covered with ice crystals, and the leaves were already bare. She mainly looked at the root system. As long as the root system had not rotted and was still firmly rooted in the soil, it would definitely continue to grow after the ice and snow melted.
Then she can study how to make it into powder and preserve it.
Ye Zhizhi thought about what she was going to do this year.
The farm has to continue, and eating wild fruits and meat all the time is not a solution. She has to expand her diet, such as looking for wild vegetables and seeing if they can be grown, and also the very important salt.
In the past, she was satisfied as long as she had cooked meat, but now her requirements are higher. She wants to eat better, such as salt or other seasonings that can enhance the deliciousness.
Salt is very important to the human body. Currently, the only way to obtain salt is animal blood.
But this is not the optimal solution. She still has to find other ways to replenish salt.
Long-term salt deficiency is a very serious matter. Symptoms will gradually appear in the body, which will not be conducive to her life in the jungle.
And there was fire. She had to quickly experiment with a way to preserve the fire, or make charcoal that could burn longer.
Ye Zhizhi burned firewood day and night, but this couldn't go on. No matter how much wood there was in the forest, it would not be enough for her to consume.
While Ye Zhizhi was thinking about something, Silver Wolf brought her to the valley.
She looked at the valley that had changed so much in front of her and opened her eyes wide in surprise. This was a natural ice rink!
The col is more prone to snow accumulation, and a thick layer of ice still covers the ground, forming a concave ice rink. Although there are still many protruding ice piles in the rink, it does not affect the overall appearance, and there is no sign of melting.
Ye Zhizhi immediately slipped off the silver wolf's back.
She stepped on it carefully, and it seemed to be very hard.
Ye Zhizhi tried to jump. He was careful at first, then slowly exerted his strength, jumping up and down heavily, and he was still very stable.
Ye Zhizhi, who had never had much entertainment, had sparkling eyes. She lay down on the ground, kicked off her little hands and feet, and slid down the long slope.
Silver Wolf: "?" It opened its eyes slightly, and let the cub go down to the ground only because there was no danger nearby. But when it blinked, the cub jumping beside its front legs disappeared in an instant.
The silver wolf turned its head and saw that the cub had already slid down the valley, howling with joy.
Silver Wolf: “…”
Ye Zhizhi was very happy at this time, her teeth showing from her smile. She tried to get up and slide again, but the fur on her body restricted her joints a bit and was quite slippery.
When she finally got up, she heard Silver Gray's excited howling coming from far away.
Ye Zhizhi turned her head and saw Silver Gray sliding down quickly. Her eyes suddenly widened. She waved her hands and tried to run away with her short legs, howling and refusing.
Don't come over here!
Bang! Boom!
Ye Zhizhi was hit head-on by a large, round wolf cub. The whole cub fell backwards and rolled into a ball with the wolf cubs, sliding a long way on the ice before stopping.
"Ahhhhh!!!" This is the cry of Silver Gray who is even more excited.
Ye Zhizhi: “…”
