5 Wilderness Survival
◎Sister, have you learned it?◎
Ye Zhizhi cried heartily and slept soundly for the whole day, venting all the negative emotions such as fear, anxiety and panic that she had felt since she was stolen.
Even Ye Zhizhi had a broken-pot mentality: let her die, but she only had one life, so no matter how miserable it was, it was nothing more than this. If the mother wolf hadn't brought her back to her den and taken the trouble to feed her, she would have starved to death, been bitten by snakes, insects, wild animals, or died of cold or disease.
If she was eaten by wolves, it would be considered as repaying the favor of saving her life. Now, every extra day she lives is her earnings.
What's more, it's not certain whether the wolves will eat her.
Ye Zhizhi realized that although the wolf king was the supreme leader of the pack, the female wolf was the wolf king's partner, equivalent to the queen wolf, and the second leader of the pack. The first wolf king was a little henpecked, so the female wolf was the first authority in the pack.
Ye Zhizhi came to her senses and felt that the wolf king did not really want to eat her. If he really had this idea, she had been in the wolf den for so long that the wolf king had many opportunities to make her disappear.
She felt that the Wolf King was more trying to scare her?
Yes, it’s a scare!
Even so, it was a fact that the wolf king recognized that she was not a wolf cub, which meant that she was not his cub, and it was also a fact that he had no good intentions towards her.
It was only because of the mother wolf that she was allowed to stay in the wolf pack.
Ye Zhizhi was still very afraid of the wolf king, but she knew that if she was driven out of the wolf pack before she could walk, she would not survive.
When no one comes to rescue her, staying in the wolf's den is actually her best choice.
As long as the mother wolf protects her, she can stay safely in the wolf pack.
So as long as Ye Zhizhi establishes a stable relationship with the mother wolf and behaves well as a cub, the mother wolf will always protect her.
Ye Zhizhi did not resist this. She was nervous and afraid when facing the mother wolf before. That was the instinctive fear of an adult towards a ferocious predator, but the instinct of an infant was that she had become accustomed to its scent and was very dependent on it.
However, this contradiction disappeared after she witnessed the mother wolf descending from the sky to expel the wolf king for her. Now Ye Zhizhi no longer has any fear of the mother wolf, only dependence on her.
The impact of knowing that the mother wolf protected her and seeing the mother wolf protecting her with her own eyes were different. The latter made the vague concept of the former concrete, allowing Ye Zhizhi to truly realize that the mother wolf treated her as her own cub.
From that moment on, Ye Zhizhi's mentality changed. The barrier between her and the mother wolf completely disappeared. She regarded herself as her cub. She was a human being, but also a cub of the mother wolf.
Ye Zhizhi began to try to act coquettishly towards the female wolf, and the effect was obvious.
The mother wolf stayed by her side all the time, and their relationship became closer. Even when Ye Zhizhi tried to express her emotions, the mother wolf could understand her very well.
With the company of the mother wolf, she had the energy to continue to observe her living environment silently.
The heavy rain has been falling since the first drop of rain fell until now, but there were only thunder and lightning in the past two days, and since then it has been a downpour that has not let up. She even seemed to feel that the air has become moist.
The heavy rain caused the light projected into the cave to not be particularly bright, but it was enough for Ye Zhizhi to see everything in the cave clearly. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. She tried to understand the wolf pack in depth.
Since the rain, all members of the wolf pack have been resting in the cave. Ye Zhizhi counted them several times and finally found that there were fifteen wolves in the pack. Among them were four cubs that Ye Zhizhi was very familiar with and three elderly wolves that often stayed in the cave. The rest were mature wolves. Aside from the wolf king and the she-wolf, the remaining six wolves were two close male and female pairs, the three cubs were their offspring, and the last two were male wolves.
Ye Zhizhi was also very interested in naming them.
These two male wolves are very distinguishable. One has half of its tail broken off, and its fur is brown-gray. The fur on its forehead, ears, and center of its back is darker, almost black, and it looks like it has a more stable temperament.
Ye Zhizhi named it Duanwei.
The other male wolf was the same lighter gray as the wolf king, with the same yellow-brown pupils. Its abdomen and inner limbs were off-white, but it was smaller than the wolf king. The most noticeable thing about it was the scar on its left eye, likely from a previous scratch. This wolf must have a very close relationship with the wolf king, and Ye Zhizhi speculated that they were brothers from the same litter.
Ye Zhizhi gave him a domineering name, Scar.
Scar is a lively person, or has a bit of a bad taste. After lying down for a long time, he will come out and walk around from time to time, and then he will take the initiative to tease the cubs who are playing, causing the cubs to howl and complain to the mother wolf. Then the angry mother wolf will chase Scar and beat him up.
Among the four cubs, Ye Zhizhi is most familiar with the wolf brothers from the same litter.
Perhaps because she had been taking better care of herself these days, Ye Zhizhi's eyes seemed to have been wiped clean of dust, and she could see things more clearly. She could tell that the she-wolf that had been feeding her had not the white fur she had thought, but silver-white fur. The wolf cub also had the same fur, and was very beautiful, the most beautiful among the wolves.
Ye Zhizhi thought about it carefully and decided to name his wolf brother Yin Yi. It is the cub of the wolf king and the wolf mother. He hopes that it will be the strongest and most powerful when it grows up and become the well-deserved number one.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't really tell the sex of the cubs. They all looked the same now, plump and full of milk fat. Unlike when they grew up, the females were smaller than the males, with smoother fur and a more delicate appearance. But Yin Yi was so lively and playful that she instinctively thought it was a male.
Among the other three cubs, one was dark brown-gray with no other colors and had no distinguishing features. Ye Zhizhi gave it a friendly name, Erzong.
The other two were little gray wolves from the same litter. One of them had three white spots on its head that formed a downward triangle. Ye Zhizhi thought about it and decided that spots didn't sound nice, so he named it Sanbai. The other little gray wolf had a cluster of white on its head, so he decided to just name it Xiaobai.
There are not many cubs, but they are very lively when playing, and their tender cries never stop. Therefore, the whole cave does not seem dull due to the continuous heavy rain, but is very lively instead.
They are not just playing, but practicing their hunting abilities.
However, the dim light and suitable temperature in the cave are very suitable for sleeping. The cubs usually run back to the nest after venting their energy, and it will be very quiet at this time.
Ye Zhizhi basically slept more than she was awake, and as she ate and slept, she became more energetic day by day. She could clearly feel that her hands and feet were stronger. The thinness and dull skin caused by illness now had chubby baby fat and fair skin. It can be said that every drop of wolf milk she drank was not wasted.
The quiet and melodious life in the cave seems like a peaceful time.
Ye Zhizhi noticed that these adult wolves would not approach her huge rock nest, except for the cubs and the wolf king.
Of course, the Wolf King is now listed as a person with whom no one can have any contact.
If it showed any signs of coming over, the mother wolf would bar her teeth in warning.
This turned Ye Zhizhi's fear of the Wolf King into gloating. After witnessing once again that the Wolf King wanted to come over but was ruthlessly expelled by the Wolf Mother, she lay at the Wolf Mother's feet, her little head poking out from her hairy legs, and she raised her little face with a toothless smile.
Serves her right! Who let it scare her?
Wolf King: “……?” This little cub dares to provoke it?
Ye Zhizhi stretched her limbs and practiced turning over in her nest with perseverance. She wanted to exercise!
No matter how long she can live, it is always good to start exercising early.
Right now, she can only roll over. Her tiny hands and feet can't support her small body to crawl, so she can only do this to exercise her body. With practice, Ye Zhizhi has mastered this skill and can now roll over twelve times without stopping!
Today’s goal is to break the record and roll over thirteen times in a row!
Hey whoosh! Hey whoosh!
The silver wolf lay beside her, watching her tossing and turning in her nest with indulgence.
...Eleven, twelve, thirteen!
After turning over with great difficulty for the last time and reaching his goal, Ye Zhizhi was panting and his little face was red.
Her eyes sparkled, and she raised her little head and called out to the silver wolf, "Awoo~"
I am fed up with it!
The silver wolf didn't make a sound, but it gave a good response. It pulled the cub that rolled over to its side and licked it as a token of praise.
Encouraged, Ye Zhizhi became even more excited. She continued after a break and laughed brightly when she flipped over to the silver wolf. She even increased the difficulty for herself and flipped over the silver wolf, trying to climb over the mountains and ridges.
The silver wolf remained motionless the entire time, allowing the cubs to play around.
However, Ye Zhizhi's turning-over training plan was not always smooth. As time went by, Yin Yi played less and less with his fellow cubs. After spending longer time in the nest, he would always disturb Ye Zhizhi out of curiosity when he saw him tossing and turning.
Yin Yi has set his sights on the wolf sister. During this period of time, he has deeply experienced the weakness of this sister in the same litter.
The young it still remembers that after the wolf father and wolf mother went out hunting, they were playing near the den under the care of the clan wolves. The wolf sister accidentally ran away, and not long after, it heard a roar, and then it saw the wolf sister being held in the mouth of a terrible giant tiger and quickly disappeared.
The two wolves roared angrily and chased after them. The rest of the cubs trembled and were carried back to the den by another wolf.
After a long time, the wolf mother and wolf father brought back the wolf sister. Although they wondered why the wolf sister looked different after coming back, the strong scent of the wolf mother on her body made them believe that this was their wolf sister.
This also made it feel sympathy and love for the wolf sister. Its poor sister, who was taken away by a terrifying giant beast and finally came back alive, her beautiful fur was gone, and she became a bald sister. She was skinny and small, and she would not grow up. Even her cry was weak and she slept all day long. Now she finally had energy again, but her limbs were limp and she couldn't even walk, let alone jump around like before.
Sister, poor wolf sister, could she be disabled?
Yin Yi stretched out his paw pad and tentatively patted Ye Zhizhi's chubby little hand.
Ye Zhizhi: "..." She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see sympathy in Brother Wolf's eyes.
Ye Zhizhi turned over and lay on her back again. She turned her head and glanced at Yin Yi who was staring at her beside her.
I always felt something was odd, so I took another look.
When Yin saw that the wolf girl hadn't turned over for a long time, and she was lying on her back, he couldn't help but use his head to lift her up.
Ye Zhizhi turned over and lay down under the force, but Yin Yi continued to arch his back.
She couldn't help but pat it with her little paws, trying to push the round little fat head out.
Don't make trouble, I'll send a few copies.
Yin Yi felt a weak force on his forehead. He tilted his head, thinking, and suddenly realized that he knew! The wolf girl was not disabled, but was frightened by the big tiger and forgot how to walk!
Yin Yi lay on all fours, with his round little belly pressed against the dry grass nest. He crawled for a while like a pupa, then stood up with his all fours, circled around Ye Zhizhi twice, and then tilted his head to look at her.
Sister, have you learned it?
Ye ZhizhiOO
Learning is useless.
【Author’s words】
The wolf pack's attitude towards Xiao Zhizhi is as follows:
Wolf King: This isn't my cub. What kind of cub did my wife pick up? It's so cowardly yet so bold, even daring to challenge me.
Wolf Mother: My real cub left me, but came back to me in another form. The cub I picked up is my cub╯3╰
Brother Wolf: My poor wolf sister, she was taken away and I finally rescued her, but now she is skinny, small, bald and can’t walk anymore QAQ
Other wolves: Which wolf pack abandoned this bald wolf cub? It's so pitiful, I'd better take good care of it.
Other cubs: Awoo? (*▽*)
