49 Wilderness Survival
◎Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?◎
It was already dusk when Ye Zhiyan walked out of the villa.
The sky was ablaze with brilliant clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden glow on the pedestrians on the road.
There were flickers of light on Ye Zhiyan's shiny black hair, and his face was hazy as he walked against the light.
He walked out of the courtyard, out of the high wall of red bricks and green tiles, turned right and continued walking.
In the setting sun, Ye Zhiyan's thin and immature back was stretched extremely long, moving with the movement of his master.
He stopped in front of a shadow squatting in the corner.
The squatting figure was silent for a moment before slowly raising his head. "I've seen your mother."
"Is she... okay?"
Ye Zhiyan neither nodded nor shook his head.
"Why don't you come and see for yourself, Father?"
Ye Lang was speechless for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "She wouldn't want to see me." He wanted to see his wife, but he knew she wouldn't see him. He could only hope to learn about his wife's recent situation from his son.
Ye Zhiyan certainly knew that after what happened that year, not only his mother and maternal family had strong opinions about his father, but he also felt resentment towards his father in his heart. However,
Ye Zhiyan looked at his father's hair, which had turned quite gray, and felt sad.
He sighed silently, "Mother has passed away."
"She was sad for a long time, had a headache for a long time, and felt sleepy, so she took a rest. Aunt Zhang and I will always keep an eye on her condition."
Ye Lang said nothing, his expression was gloomy.
Looking at his father's appearance, Ye Zhiyan couldn't help but ask, "Father, can my sister... be..." found?
In the end, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
He already knew the answer, didn't he? He was just deceiving himself.
Ye Zhiyan turned around and said, "I'm going back, Father."
Ye Lang stared blankly ahead for a long time, then murmured softly, "I can find it back..."

"Mother……"
Suddenly, a whisper was heard in the quiet cave.
That was the sound a human baby made out of its instinctive attachment to its mother, but to the audience, it sounded like a strange cry.
The silver wolf lowered its head to look at the cub sleeping under its belly. When it heard the cub screaming again, it looked at its paw pads, as if considering whether to bite it.
But seeing the cub's pale lips, the silver wolf put down its paws, lowered its head and licked the cub's face and neck.
"Dad..." the cub called out again.
The silver wolf made purring sounds from its throat, as if it was comforting, or as if it was responding.
Although humans and wolves cannot communicate with each other, the emotions expressed can occasionally be felt.
Comforted by the familiar scent, the cub was no longer uneasy and fell into a deep sleep. The cave became quiet again.
Ye Zhizhi had a lot of bizarre dreams. When he woke up, he was a little dazed and couldn't react for a long time.
When I woke up completely, I found myself lying in a familiar boulder nest.
Ye Zhizhi subconsciously looked around but saw no humans.
Was what she saw before she fell asleep an illusion?
Ye Zhizhi sniffed and didn't smell any strange scent.
She couldn't describe the feeling.
Ye Zhizhi thought about it carefully and realized that the shadow she remembered in her subconscious mind suddenly appeared.
It’s…her family in this life.
No wonder there's an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Ye Zhizhi has been recalling the memories of human society less and less. When she suddenly thought of it now, she found that she still felt very attached to it.
She still remembered the tenderness that enveloped her as he held her so carefully in his arms.
Although it was only less than three months, the feeling of being surrounded by love wholeheartedly is unforgettable.
I wonder if her parents and little brother still remember her...
Ye Zhizhi tried hard to recall.
It took me a long time to remember that she didn't just travel through time, she traveled through a book, and her new family was cannon fodder!
Her human brother was the heroine's white moonlight in the original novel, but he died young and became cannon fodder. Her parents also had a bad ending. She wanted to change their fate.
But before she could do anything, she was lost just as the plot had set.
Does this mean that the original plot cannot be changed? Will her family still have the same ending as planned?
No, it wouldn't. If she was lost in the jungle in the original book, Ye Zhizhi felt that any new cub would have died long ago after experiencing the same thing as her.
And she is still alive and well.
She herself must have changed the fate of dying early.
It can definitely change...
Ye Zhizhi clenched her hands, and her shoulders ached.
Ah...she is still a patient.
As soon as Ye Zhizhi moved, she was suddenly licked on the face, and then her little feet were licked.
Her round toes shrank and expanded.
Ye Zhizhi raised her head and found Yin Yi lying on top of her. When she looked up again, Yin Xiaohui was lying at her feet, with Silver Wolf Father and Wolf Mother lying on her left and right.
Ye Zhizhi, who was wrapped in fur, said: "..."
Is she seriously injured and dying?
Ye Zhizhi felt herself and found that she was fine. Apart from the pain all over her body, she was not weak and exhausted. She could still survive.
Ye Zhizhi looked at herself and found that her entire body was covered with herbs.
At first, he didn't think he was seriously injured, but when the Wolf King brought back some herbs, he saw his entire body was covered in bruises and bleeding, so he simply applied the herbs all over.
The silver wolf lowered its head and licked the cub's forehead. There was still a small scar on the forehead from the previous bump while running.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the silver wolf and howled coquettishly.
If she leaves one day, the ones who will be most reluctant to leave are Wolf Mom, Wolf Dad and Yin Yi, and the other wolves in the tribe will be the second most reluctant.
Is there any way to have the best of both worlds?
She should let go of things. She is a human being and will eventually return to human society.
Now that the decision has been made, the sooner the better. Otherwise, the longer she stays, the deeper her feelings will be, and the more painful it will be when they part.
Now, just thinking about it makes her heart ache.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but stretch out his hand, pouting and wanting to hug the wolf mother.
Silver Wolf looked at her and told her not to move.
Ye Zhizhi understood: "..." This scene seemed familiar, except that the roles were reversed. Once upon a time, it was she who prevented the wolf from moving freely...
Sadness and melancholy seemed to disappear suddenly.
Ye Zhizhi calmed down. She was not going to leave immediately. At least she had to heal her injury. Looking at the wound on her shoulder, there was no hope at least this year. Anyway, according to her previous idea, she should leave when she was five or six years old.
She silently counted the things she still had to do...
Before that, let's make all the necessary preparations.
