54 Wilderness Survival
◎Suddenly, it broke through the water and rushed straight towards her face.◎
After hearing the commotion caused by Yin Yi and Yin Xiao Hui, Ye Zhizhi's sadness about the separation of the nests was diluted.
Ye Zhizhi lay on Wolf Brother's belly with her little hands on him. Obviously, at the beginning, Wolf Brother was as big as her when he was just a little cub, but now he has grown to be as big as the wolf mother.
It was already dark, and the light in the cave was even dimmer. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
During these years in the jungle, Ye Zhizhi has long been accustomed to a life of working from sunrise to sunset.
Ye Zhizhi was still sleeping soundly.
After all, Wolf Brother had slept with her since childhood. Ye Zhizhi was very familiar with his scent and felt safe.
As for the silver wolf cubs, it was the first day they left the den, and I don’t know if they can adapt.
This cub is so sticky and small, so the silver wolf does not completely treat her as an adult wolf. The main reason is that the cub has always been dependent on it and cannot leave it.
This was the first time the two cubs were separated from their dens, and it was the first time that the silver wolf felt a strange feeling of worry. In the middle of the night, he couldn't help but leave the den, leaving the wolf king behind and quietly came over to take a look. He saw the two cubs cuddling together and sleeping soundly.
Silver Wolf: “…” Still quite adapted.
It returned to its nest silently.
Ye Zhizhi was completely unaware of this.
The next day, she got up at daybreak with full energy.
Ye Zhizhi first climbed up to the new nest and prepared to put the fruits he brought back yesterday into his own small base.
Her living area and rest area were separate. Since the living area was opened up, Ye Zhizhi's food, daily necessities and miscellaneous items were placed in that area and no longer in the giant stone nest.
Because it was too noisy last night, she put the fruit she brought back in the new nest first.
This rock group is quite easy to climb, the edges are a bit protruding, and the whole piece is not smooth.
Ye Zhizhi climbed up in no time.
The silver-gray cat in the nest noticed the movement, and instantly pricked up its ears and raised its head to look over. When it saw Ye Zhizhi coming up, it wagged its tail happily.
Ye Zhizhi rubbed the head of Yin Xiaohui who came over, picked up all the fruits in the nest and stuffed them into his pocket, then crawled and jumped down, rushed to the living area, and put them in his own food storage nest.
One of the advantages of the new nest is that it is closer to her little world, making it more convenient for her to come here and do things.
Yin Xiaohui no longer stayed in his nest, but followed Ye Zhizhi happily.
Yin Yi looked up from his nest to see what was going on and found that the wolf girl was minding her own business, so he continued to lie in the nest without moving.
The sun had not yet risen, and the nest was still dark. Only the refracted light was a faint blue, adding a touch of brightness.
Ye Zhizhi and Lang were not affected at all, they could see everything around them clearly.
She rinsed her mouth and washed her face with clean water, took inventory of her belongings, and wrapped up the things she was going to take with her in a piece of animal skin.
She stuffed the smallest fruit shell into the animal skin package, added some dried meat, the indispensable medicinal powder, and several tubes of tinder she made.
It's a pity that she hasn't found something like a thermos, otherwise she could bring water with her when she goes out. Although she had no reaction after drinking raw water before, she tries not to drink it if possible, otherwise she will get worms in her stomach and there will be no medicine for her.
But as long as there is fire, everything will be fine.
The tinderbox she had made with great difficulty was already able to blow out sparks to ignite dry leaves, but it could not last long, only three or four hours at most. Therefore, she had to light a fire and make it again every once in a while.
After Ye Zhizhi packed up his things and made sure nothing was left out, he picked up the animal skin package and put it on his back, then rushed excitedly towards the boulder nest.
Although she felt that she didn't pack much, this fur package was actually bigger than her small body. From a certain angle, it looked like two thin legs growing under a giant package. Fortunately, the weight was negligible for Ye Zhizhi.
While climbing the slope, she had to raise her head from time to time to see if the Wolf King father would show up to block her way. Fortunately, the Wolf King father did not show up until she climbed up to the den. She looked carefully and saw that the Wolf King father was lying in the den and had not gotten up yet.
At first glance, the huge body of the wolf king father seemed to cover the wolf mother.
She just knew it!
The tall and majestic image of Wolf King Dad in her heart was shattered into pieces at this moment. When she was not around, he stuck to Wolf Mom, sticky!
Ye Zhizhi rushed forward and squeezed between the two wolves.
The wolf king beside him narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ye Zhizhi didn't care about it. She just twisted her body and used her little butt to push the package against it.
Bad Wolf King Dad, humph!
Ye Zhizhi pounced on the wolf mother and hugged her and howled.
She acted coquettishly towards the wolf mother, wanting her to take her out to the highest mountain.
The silver wolf naturally understood the cub's intentions, but it was confused. Hadn't they already let the cub go free? Why did they still want it to be taken with them? When every wolf cub in the pack first became independent, they were eager to roam the world. How could they care less about being controlled by their elders?
The silver wolf was very indulgent towards its cubs. After being disturbed by the cubs for a while, it stood up, followed the cubs' wishes, went down from the den, and walked out of the cave with the cubs.
The wolf king seemed to be forgotten: "..." It had no choice but to follow out.
Ye Zhizhi's barking had already woken up the wolf pack. Many wolves came out and looked curiously at what the cubs wanted to do.
Yin Yi and Er Zong walked to Ye Zhizhi.
Yin Yi rubbed Ye Zhizhi and looked at her with some confusion and grievance in his animal eyes. Wouldn’t it be fun for the wolf sister to go out with them?
Ye Zhizhi patted Wolf Brother's legs to comfort him. It wasn't that it wasn't fun, she was just worried that Wolf Brother and the others were inexperienced and always felt that the jungle outside was very dangerous. It would be more reassuring to bring Wolf Mother along.
Ye Zhizhi pulled the wolf mother's hair, pointed his little hand at the highest peak shrouded in clouds in the distance, and made a longing sound.
She wants to go there!
The silver wolf raised its head slightly and looked in the direction the cub pointed. It understood what the cub meant.
Silver Wolf also understood.
Yin Yi lowered his head and rubbed Ye Zhizhi, and the look in his eyes conveyed a message: If Wolf Sister wants to go there to play, Wolf Brother can also take her!
After knowing the cub's intention, the silver wolf did not take Ye Zhizhi there as she wished, but pushed her towards Yin Yi.
Ye Zhizhi tilted his head and instantly understood what Wolf Mom meant.
Brother Wolf and the others can just take her there? In other words, there is no danger on that mountain, or even if there is danger, Brother Wolf and the others can handle it?
Ye Zhizhi was immediately happy, that’s even better!
She rubbed her face towards Yin Yi, and looked up at him with sparkling eyes: Brother Wolf, please take me with you.
Yin Yi held his head high with dignity, but his wagging tail showed that he was in a good mood.
So Ye Zhizhi carried the big package on his back and sat on Yinyi, and together with Erzhong, Sanbai and Xiaobai, ran towards the distance under the attention of other wolves.
This time when they went out, they didn't bring Silver Little Gray with them, just four wolves and her.
Judging by the time, it is still summer, but the forest is chilly in the morning, with dew condensing on the leaves and branches, and thick fog.
As they traveled through the mountains, the wind was so cold that it gave Ye Zhizhi goose bumps on her exposed arms. Fortunately, she quickly adapted to the temperature.
The wolves ran and walked all the way. They ran over two hills and the sky was just beginning to brighten.
The forest changed from being dark at the beginning to being clear and bright, and when the sun slowly peeked out from the clouds, the huge forest was quickly shrouded in gold.
The bright sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls onto the ground, forming circles of mottled light and shadow.
The outlines of every blade of grass and tree in the jungle become clearer under the bright light. The cold dew on the branches and leaves sparkles with colorful light under the sunlight, and slowly disappears as the temperature rises.
The wind at this time became very cool. As it passed through the woods, it blew away the mist, gently swaying the leaves, and accompanied by the cheerful calls of unknown birds, it seemed as if nature was awakened, full of vitality and vigor everywhere.
The wolves took Ye Zhizhi down two more hills.
Fortunately, the wolves carried her, otherwise it would take her at least one or two days to run this distance by herself.
Although the wolves are still young, they are very cautious in their actions. They will not run to dangerous areas, and will specifically avoid places with dense bushes and rocks where things are likely to be hidden.
Of course, as long as the wolf pack does not encounter a group of predators, they are not afraid of a single wolf, tiger or leopard.
However, those lone predators would only stay away when they smelled the scent of wolves. Therefore, they did not encounter any danger along the way.
Seeing that the wolves were running in the right direction, Ye Zhizhi did not try to point the way, but let the wolves lead her.
Ye Zhizhi pulled the hood that was blown backwards forward to protect her face from the direct sun.
She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the position of the sun.
It was almost noon.
Ye Zhizhi has more and more skills. She can now estimate the approximate time of day based on the position of the sun or the angle of refraction of light.
The wolves stopped running and walked slowly on the road.
They lowered their heads and sniffed, as if searching for some information.
Ye Zhizhi also sniffed it, and then listened carefully to the movements around him.
Then, she seemed to hear the sound of flowing water!
Ye Zhizhi almost thought it was an illusion. She listened carefully again to make sure she had heard correctly, and hurriedly pointed the direction for the wolves. She wanted to rest near the water source.
Yin Yi felt the direction the wolf girl pointed and found no danger, so he walked over with the wolf pack and the wolf girl.
Soon the sound of water became clearer and clearer.
Ye Zhizhi was very happy, she could finally catch fish!
Not long after, Ye Zhizhi saw a mountain stream flowing in the forest.
The wolves stood downwind and first observed the surroundings. When they found no danger, they slowly walked over with Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi climbed down from Wolf Brother's back, put the animal skin package on the ground, and looked towards the water source curiously while holding the wooden stick as a weapon.
This stream is different from the clear stream near the territory, and it can be said that it forms a sharp contrast.
The surface of the water was covered with moss, and the bottom seemed very deep, making it difficult to see what was going on in the water.
But this can't stop Ye Zhizhi's obsession with catching fish!
Yin Yi and the others lay in the shade nearby to rest, watching the wolf sister tossing and turning.
Ye Zhizhi found a straight branch and tied her sharp-end stick to it with a vine. She thought that with her good eyesight, she would definitely be able to stab the fish.
Ye Zhizhi looked around and used a stick to knock on the lush grass by the water to prevent anything from suddenly popping out.
She knocked on the ground again to make sure it was solid before carefully approaching the water source.
Ye Zhizhi leaned forward slightly and used a wooden stick to push away the mossy green layer on the water surface. The water was flowing, so it did not appear dirty. Instead, it seemed that there were many plants growing at the bottom of the water, causing the water to turn dark green.
She saw tiny bubbles rising and was pretty sure there were fish inside.
Ye Zhizhi stared at the water surface intently.
She stared intently for a moment and noticed a dark shadow passing under the dark green water.
Ye Zhizhi raised the wooden stick and was about to stab it down when something suddenly broke through the water and flew straight towards her face.
