6 Wilderness Survival
◎Brother Wolf: It was a mistake after all.◎
Seeing that the wolf girl didn't move for a long time, Yinyi lay down like a cricket pupa, stood up and walked, repeating the whole set of instructions over and over again. From time to time, he looked back at Ye Zhizhi, his clear eyes kept asking questions -
Have you learned it?
Have you learned it?
Ye Zhizhi raised her head and looked at Yin Yi, staring at it with her big black eyes. It was obvious that Yin Yi was teaching her to walk seriously. She didn't expect that the lively wolf brother had such a patient side. She was very moved but refused.
She wanted to crawl, even stand up and walk upright on two feet, but wasn't that a failure? She was still a mollusk, so she could only disappoint Brother Wolf's high hopes.
Yin Yi taught for a long time, but the wolf girl still didn't respond. He sighed worriedly, thinking that if this continued, how would the wolf girl be able to catch up with her prey in the future!
At such a young age, it began to realize that the wolf sister might need to rely on it for support in the future. The young body was suddenly burdened with the responsibility of supporting the family, and Yin Yi's steps became much heavier.
Yin Yi walked to the silver wolf and lay on its belly, moving his little head back and forth, then stopped and began to drink milk with a gurgling sound.
It needs to grow up quickly and become strong, so it can hunt as soon as possible to support its younger sister!
Ye Zhizhi had just exercised for so long that he had almost exhausted all his energy. When he saw Yin Yi drinking milk, he quickly looked around and quickly found his way under the wolf mother's belly. He found another food bag and started drinking from it in big gulps.
Both cubs drank until their stomachs were bloated, and they looked even more adorable because of their round bodies.
Ye Zhizhi burped a little, his little hand still pressed against the shriveled grain bag.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Ye Zhizhi noticed that it had been raining outside for over two weeks, and it didn't seem to be slowing down. At first, she tried to keep track of the time, but the repetition of days in the mountains made it difficult for her to remember the time. However, she was certain that the rain had been falling for at least fifteen days.
This made her very worried.
In the past, hearing about a few days of heavy rain in a certain place would have led to flooding. And this was especially true here, where the rain had been going on for so many days with no sign of abating. Could this be the legendary rainy season? But she had never heard of such an exaggerated rainy season in any part of the country.
But think about it, this is a world in a book, which is equivalent to a parallel world, so it seems reasonable that there is a special climate?
Ye Zhizhi was worried about whether it would cause a flood, but seeing that the ground in the cave was still dry and no rainwater was flowing in, it seemed that the cave was quite high and in the leeward side. The wolves did not seem to be worried about the weather, they must be used to it. She guessed that this was at least not the first time such climate had occurred here.
But after the wolves stayed in the cave for too long, she noticed a serious problem: they were eating less and less.
The wolves first ate on the third day, and then on the fifth day. When their stomachs were still full, the adult wolves would walk around in the cave for a while and communicate with each other frequently. But gradually, the wolves' activities became less active, and they stayed in their dens all day long without moving. It was obvious that they were reducing their activities to reduce energy consumption.
The cubs no longer have the energy to play, run, and jump around, and basically just stay in their nest.
It had been more than ten days since they last ate, and Ye Zhizhi watched helplessly as the wolves' stomachs shriveled up.
It seems that the food prepared before the heavy rain is not enough for them to eat until the rain stops. This makes Ye Zhizhi very worried. It is not pleasant to be hungry.
The cubs now drink wolf milk again instead of eating meat.
The mother wolf's milk was also starting to become less abundant, and she could not supply enough milk to feed two cubs at once. They could barely eat their fill now, but they would probably be hungry soon. Ye Zhizhi thought that she was not her biological child after all, and Brother Wolf treated her very well. If that day really came, she would not eat if she could.
Fortunately, three days later, there was good news.
The sound of rain outside had become much quieter. Ye Zhizhi didn't see it with his own eyes, but he could guess that the rain had become lighter.
The wolves' subsequent actions proved Ye Zhizhi's guess.
The wolf king stood on top of a huge rock, and a low and majestic "Howl" echoed in the cave. The wolves immediately responded and came out of their dens and stood under the wolf king.
The silver wolf licked Ye Zhizhi, and under Ye Zhizhi's gaze, it stood up, jumped over the boulder in three or two steps, and walked to the side of the wolf king.
Not long after, the Wolf King and Silver Wolf led the wolf pack out of the cave, leaving three old wolves behind.
The wolves go out hunting, so there is no need to worry about going hungry.
Ye Zhizhi felt relieved and hoped that they could hunt a lot of prey.
She was also interested in continuing to practice somersaults. These days, she was so worried that she stopped exercising to reduce energy consumption.
Yin, who was lying on the side, saw his sister tossing and turning again. He tilted his head and watched for a while with his clear animal eyes. He decided to join in if he couldn't teach her.
It can play with my sister!
Yin Yi let out a howl and pounced on it, then fell into the nest and twisted his limbs around happily, as if he was imitating Ye Zhizhi's turning over. However, his restless limbs were in a state of disorder, lifting up the soft dry grass and sending it flying everywhere.
Ye Zhizhi, whose face was covered with grass: "..." Sure enough, the saying that dogs and wolves are close relatives has scientific basis. Not only do they look alike, but their behaviors are also a bit similar. Brother Wolf, are you related to Huskies?
If she could speak, she would ask.
Yin Yi tore the dry grass nest into pieces, and then found that the wolf girl was motionless.
The little silver wolf with dry grass on its head lay in front of Ye Zhizhi, its pure golden eyes full of confusion.
Sister, don’t you want to play anymore?
Ye Zhizhi: “…”
She understood the little silver wolf's doubts and retorted seriously in her heart that she was not playing, she was exercising very seriously.
So Ye Zhizhi continued to turn over, and the little silver wolf howled and paddled with its limbs.
The three cubs noticed the movement here and ran over excitedly, pounced on it with a howl, and twisted their bodies in a very rhythmic manner.
Three old wolves not far away saw this scene: "..."Ah, this.
Ye Zhizhi: “…”
After a while, another childish voice joined in.
So when the hunting wolves came back in the evening, Silver Wolf was faced with a group of naughty children who were destroying the house.
Its soft and comfortable nest of dry grass was turned into a mess.
The cubs had too much fun and fell asleep in the pile of dry grass when they were tired. They did not restore the nest to its original state... Of course, they did not know how to restore it.
The silver wolf narrowed its eyes and stretched out its claws to dig out the cubs buried in the dry grass one by one.
The cubs opened their confused eyes and were dazed for a moment. When they met the wolf mother's eyes, they woke up instantly, folded their ears, and ran away with their furry tails tucked between their legs.
Yin Yi had no idea that a disaster was about to happen. When he saw the Silver Wolf, he happily swung his tail and was about to pounce on it, but the Silver Wolf slapped him with its claw.
Yin Yi was stunned by the slap. He raised his little head and stared blankly at the wolf mother, and then he was slapped on the forehead again.
"Ouch~Woo——" Yin Yi screamed miserably, then he tucked his tail between his legs and ran down with his short legs, howling all the way until he came to the wolf king and rubbed against the wolf king's thick forelimbs.
“Ooo ...
The little howl was melodious, full of emotion, and repeated three times. Even though Ye Zhizhi could not understand wolf language, he could still hear the little silver wolf's little emotions of grievance and complaint.
Apparently, the person that the little silver wolf found to complain to was unable to stand up for it. The wolf king, who was originally walking towards it, slowly turned around and walked to the other side after the little silver wolf rubbed against him, pretending that he saw nothing.
The position of the younger brother in the family is true.
"Woo-oo-ooh?"
Yin Yi, whose front paws were hanging on the wolf king, could not keep up with the wolf king's pace with his two hind paws. He staggered a few steps and then fell down.
Yin Yi: "Woo?"
It lay on the ground in a daze, looking at the wolf king's receding back, and stopped howling.
It was a wrong payment after all.
Yin Yi’s grievance didn’t last long. The wolves brought back prey, and soon he ran over happily to eat the meat.
Ye Zhizhi had also woken up. She watched Brother Wolf being patted on the head with her eyes wide open, trying hard to appear innocent.
She, she also wanted to run, and the wolf mother's expressionless face was quite scary.
Ye Zhizhi, with dead grass mixed in her messy hair, cannot be said to be innocent. She must be counted as part of the house being destroyed.
She curled up her hands and feet, and let out a howl like her grandmother: "Awoo~"
It wasn't her fault; she'd just been trying to roll over on her own at first! But it's understandable that pups get carried away when playing together, right?
Ye Zhizhi tried to get away with it by being cute.
I don’t know if the silver wolf was really touched by the cuteness, but instead of clapping its paws, it licked it with its tongue.
The rough wolf tongue scratched her skin. Ye Zhizhi realized belatedly that there were several red marks on her body, especially on her hands and legs. There was no bleeding, but only a shallow layer of skin was damaged.
It turned out that the cub's claws accidentally scratched her while they were playing, but she was in high spirits at the time and didn't feel any pain.
"Ah, ah, ah—" Ye Zhizhi pitifully stretched out her little hands and feet to show the wolf mother, trying to negotiate with it, asking it to stop hitting her because she was injured.
The mother wolf really had no intention of hitting it. After licking the scratches on the cub's body, she did not go into the grass nest where she had no place to stand.
The silver wolves' fur was still damp, though no longer dripping, yet still clinging to their skin. It was clear they had been hunting in the rain. Fortunately, their hard work paid off; not only did they return with prey, but each wolf had a full stomach.
Ye Zhizhi listened carefully to the noise outside and could still hear the sound of rain.
The rain has become lighter compared to the rain in the past few days. In fact, it is still moderate rain.
Ye Zhizhi felt bad when he saw the wolf mother in such a miserable state with her hair all over her body. It was really hard for her to survive.
The silver wolf used its claws to gather the scattered dead grass into a pile and pushed it back into the den, occasionally pushing the cubs aside. Ye Zhizhi cooperated and made way so that the wolf mother could clean up the den. She turned over to the back, raised her head and looked at the wolf's tail so close to her. She was eager to reach out and hug it.
This was the first time that the mother wolf did not immediately lie down and circle her when she returned to the den. She wanted to get close to the mother wolf, and subconsciously made a call.
The tender sound of the baby's milk making his heart melt.
