7 Wilderness Survival
◎She also wanted to go out for some fresh air.◎
When the silver wolf heard the cub's grandmother's coquettish behavior, although it did not lie down and hold her in its belly as she wished, it turned back and licked the cub's head.
By the time Yin Yi returned with his chubby belly, the grass nest had been almost tidied up. Of course, it wasn't as soft and snug as before, but it looked much smoother.
Yin Yi was not a grudge-bearer and had completely forgotten the injustice of being beaten by the wolf mother. He happily wagged his tail and circled around the wolf mother, in a very high spirit, as if he was happy to get to eat the meat.
Otherwise, why are they called carnivores? Even if they are young, they will never force themselves to drink milk if they can eat meat.
Seeing that the wolf mother had tidied up the grass nest but still didn't come to hug her, Ye Zhizhi let out a howl of grievance.
It's soft and has a full milky flavor.
Yin rushed over in an instant, lay down beside Ye Zhizhi and snuggled close to her. His clear animal eyes blinked, as if asking: Sister, what's wrong?
Ye Zhizhi hugged Wolf Brother, but turned his little head to look closely at Wolf Mother.
The silver wolf came over and licked Ye Zhizhi's little face, then quickly jumped over the boulder and soon disappeared from Ye Zhizhi's sight.
Ye Zhizhi cried sadly.
Did the wolf mother resort to cold violence just because she got into trouble? She might as well have hit her a few times!
Just when Ye Zhizhi was pouting and eyes were full of tears, the silver wolf came back.
The silver wolf's fur was no longer wet and sticky when it came back, but fluffy. It nestled in the grass nest, hugged Ye Zhizhi, and pressed the soft fur on its belly against her.
Ye Zhizhi hugged the wolf mother tightly, surrounded by the breath of the silver wolf. She grinned before her tears had even faded. She had been well-fed these days. Although she was a little short of food, she had nothing to eat from Ye Zhizhi. Her white and tender baby fat formed trembling little curves on her cheeks, her dark eyes were watery, and her short legs and arms were raised and rested on the silver wolf, like a small bean, so cute.
Ye Zhizhi likes to stick to the silver wolf. Being wrapped in the wolf mother's soft and thick hair makes her feel very safe.
A wolf mother is also a mother. How can the cubs not feel at ease when they stay with their mother?
How could she not understand that the mother wolf had not come close to her just now because her fur was wet, and she might have been instinctively worried that the moisture on her body would affect her cubs.
Although the fur is not completely dry now, only the roots are a little damp. The mother wolf can't wait any longer because the cubs are too clingy.
Ye Zhizhi felt extremely safe, and he interacted with the wolf mother Yin Yi for a while, laughing happily.
Soon she felt hungry, so she crawled down like a cricket, quickly found the food bag and started to suck milk, her short legs lifting up even more vigorously.
The wolves had eaten their fill and had returned to their den to rest. Ye Zhizhi also slept soundly after eating.
Of course, wolves don’t stop thinking about the next meal after just one meal.
In the early morning of the next day, when it was still dark, the wolves went out in the rain to hunt again.
Ye Zhizhi was suddenly awakened. He looked around but couldn't find the silver wolf. Only then did he realize that the wolf pack had gone out again.
Yin Yi, who was lying next to her, snored softly in his sleep, looking carefree.
She stared at the dark cave ceiling and couldn't fall asleep for a while. Her little head was full of random thoughts, but when she came to her senses, she had forgotten what she was thinking.
After thinking for a while, he felt sleepy and fell asleep again while holding Yinyi.
When she woke up again, it was bright outside. The cubs, who had just eaten their fill yesterday, were in the mood to play and were fluttering around on the flat ground. Of course, it was also possible that they had been disciplined yesterday and were afraid to come to the nest again.
Ye Zhizhi and his cubs stayed in the nest, continuing their great work of turning over. When they were tired, they lay down to rest, and when they were sleepy, they took a nap.
As evening fell, Ye Zhizhi looked outside from time to time, thinking that the wolves would be back by about that time. However, the wolves came back very late today, and it was not until long after nightfall that he saw any trace of them.
Compared to the cheerful atmosphere of yesterday, the atmosphere among the returning wolves this time was depressing and stagnant.
The moment Ye Zhizhi heard the noise, he immediately lay down on the edge of the boulder and tried to raise his head to look outside.
The wolves returned empty-handed.
This is not a good sign.
This means that there is no more prey for the wolves near the cave.
The wolves returned to their den in silence. Affected by the atmosphere, the cubs felt a little uneasy and returned to the mother wolf, whimpering softly.
The silver wolf did not return to the den immediately. Perhaps it was thinking of how sticky its cubs were yesterday, so it first shook its hair almost dry outside before coming up.
Seeing the cub lying on the edge in such danger, it bit it with its sharp teeth, carefully carried the cub back to the nest, held it under its paws, licked it from head to tail, and then fed it.
Ye Zhizhi no longer felt that rice was tasty, and his worried eyes kept glancing at Silver Wolf.
If I don't hunt today, won't I be without food for ten days or half a month like before? What should I do?
Ye Zhizhi looked at her little arms and legs...well, she should just drink her grandma's milk and work hard to grow up.
Fortunately, there was good news on the third day of hunting. The wolf pack hunted a big one and came back. She tried to open her eyes wide to see that it was a prey twice as big as the wolf king. It looked like a cow to her. This prey alone was enough for the wolf pack to have two full meals.
The prey was dragged into a dark cave by three wolves. From her perspective, it was blocked by a huge rock. She guessed that there was another cave over there specifically for storing food.
The bad news is that two wolves were injured in the process of hunting this big bull in its prime. They were Erzong’s wolf father, Zongda, and Uncle Scar.
Zungda's injury was more serious. There was a cut on his shoulder blade, with blood and flesh all over the place. He walked with a limp.
Uncle Scar was hit in the abdomen, but he avoided the horns and didn't get stabbed. However, he suffered some internal injuries and walked slowly, obviously hurting his internal organs.
This means that the wolf pack has lost two of its main hunting forces.
Ye Zhizhi thought to himself, it has been raining for so many days, it won’t rain for that long, this prey should be enough, right?
However, the wolves' subsequent actions changed Ye Zhizhi's optimistic thoughts.
The wolves did not stop hunting just because they had hunted a cow, and they went out again before dawn.
The two wounded remained in the cave to recover.
This time the wolves didn't hunt any big prey, only some moles. It seemed that they had dug up a mole's nest.
After a day's rest, Uncle Scar joined the hunt again.
The wolves hunted for six consecutive days, returning empty-handed on two of them. They filled their stomachs on the first day and stored the prey they hunted on the rest of the days. They only stopped when the rain got heavier and they could not go out.
The rain has subsided these days, which seems like God's mercy to the wolves, giving them a chance to replenish their food.
The rain that followed was heavier and longer, with thunder and lightning even lasting for several days. The thunder and lightning seemed to be right next to his ears, making people worry that the lightning would strike down the mountain where the nest was located. Ye Zhizhi was very nervous when he heard it.
Such heavy rainy days passed day after day. One evening, the wolves became inexplicably agitated. Even though they could not speak, Ye Zhizhi could feel their excitement.
At first, Ye Zhizhi didn't know what the wolf pack's abnormality meant. She had been listening to the sound of rain outside the cave for so long that she had automatically blocked out the sound. Therefore, the rain outside became lighter, and even the drizzle in her dreams in the second half of the night disappeared, but Ye Zhizhi didn't notice.
It was not until the next day when the wolves came out and even the wolf cubs ran out of the cave howling excitedly that Ye Zhizhi realized that the rain outside had stopped.
Ye Zhizhi also became excited.
For more than two months, the wolf pack had not had enough food and her rations were not that abundant. In order to save food, she tried to eat less and sleep more.
And except for being taken away to relieve herself, she never left this dry grass nest.
Ye Zhizhi felt that the dampness and darkness in the cave had been dispelled, and even the air had become much fresher. She also wanted to go out for some fresh air.
She hasn't left the cave since she woke up.
The whole cave was quiet. Even the old wolf had left, leaving only her cub.
Ye Zhizhi was ready to move. She was very familiar with the area below her. Every time Yin Yi and Yin Lang went down the boulder, they went down from the right side, which was a slope with a gentle slope.
After this period of growth, her hands and feet have become stronger. Although they cannot support her small body to crawl, she can use her hands and legs to "kick forward"!
Ye Zhizhi learned a new skill and threw the old one behind.
After all, changes in skills mean "evolution". If she practices more, she will be able to master the crawling skills.
Once she can crawl, is she still far from being able to walk?
Thinking of this, Ye Zhizhi became even more excited.
She stuck out her little butt and crawled up the slope, arching her back and forth, looking quite similar to a little bug crawling.
But her plan to spread the news did not go smoothly.
After she had finally climbed down the slope with great difficulty and was about to make another effort, her dirty little cotton coat, which was a little tight, suddenly tightened and she was suspended in mid-air.
"hold head high?"
Ye Zhizhi tilted her head in confusion, but couldn't see which wolf was carrying her back to its den.
The big wolf put Ye Zhizhi back into the grass nest, and all her efforts were instantly wasted.
Ye Zhizhi raised her head. The one who carried her back to the den was the oldest wolf in the pack. Its body and five senses had degenerated, and it exuded an old look from the inside out. Its animal eyes were no longer sharp and ferocious, but full of kindness.
Perhaps remembering that there was a cub in the cave, the old wolf came back to check on her.
"Aa ...
Grandma Wolf, I want to go out too!
Ye Zhizhi kept pointing outside, trying to express his meaning.
The old wolf didn't know whether he understood or not, and didn't respond. Instead, he just lay down beside her, facing her, looking at her with his gentle animal eyes.
Ye Zhizhi: "..." She felt that he understood, and even stared at her to prevent her from climbing down.
She tried to climb down again, but as soon as she got out of the dry grass nest, the old wolf pushed her back on its head, leaving her no chance to get down to the nest.
Ye Zhizhi tried to act coquettishly to Grandma Wolf just like she acted coquettishly to Mother Wolf, but Grandma Wolf still looked kind and friendly, and had no intention of letting her go out for a walk.
She was so angry that her little face puffed up like a pufferfish.
Humph, she will grow up soon! When she grows up, no one can stop her from going out to play!
