92 Wilderness Survival
◎She looked around and her eyes fell on Xiaohua.◎
Ye Zhizhi found the wolf pack, or rather, Yin Yi found them first.
In fact, they were not very far apart. If Ye Zhizhi waited patiently for another day, she would be able to wait for the wolves to come back.
But Ye Zhizhi had already waited for a day and a night, and had reached his limit and could not wait any longer.
Even though she knew she could have avoided going into the forest at night and getting hurt, she didn't feel any regret.
Ye Zhizhi sat on Yin Yi's back, Xiaohua followed behind, and the wolf, the man and the snake quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests. No wild beasts jumped out to attack them along the way, and soon they met up with Er Zong and other wolves.
Ye Zhizhi jumped off Yin Yi's back and immediately counted the wolves. Not a single one was missing, and she breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the wolves were still there, she was happy.
She was really worried that the wolves hadn't come back and that they must have met with disaster.
When Ye Zhizhi saw Yin Xiaohui with a lame leg, he knew why the wolves came back late.
Silver Gray rubbed against Ye Zhizhi and howled in grievance. The wolf didn't want to get hurt, but he didn't pay attention when he was running. When he found out, he couldn't turn in time and got scratched.
Ye Zhizhi touched Yin Xiaohui's injured leg and pressed it carefully. Fortunately, it was just a cut made by something sharp. The cut was a bit deep. The wound had been licked, but it was not treated well and looked hideous.
Ye Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. The injury was not to the bones. This kind of external injury would heal with careful care, and she would not become a disabled wolf in the future. If the bones were broken, she would not know how to set them.
She thought of Xiaohua's scream of pain, and hurried over to check its injuries in the moonlight.
Xiaohua was entangled with the beast and was pierced by many holes on her body. Even though she stopped bleeding, the densely packed tiny blood holes looked very scary. The thorns on the back of the beast, especially the thorns on the wild boar, were even sharper and harder, and even Xiaohua was injured.
Ye Zhizhi saw the small bloody hole on Xiaohua's snake belly, which was covered with dust and blood. She felt very distressed. Xiaohua hissed, her tone light, as if to comfort Ye Zhizhi and tell her that she was fine.
Ye Zhizhi saw that Xiaohua was curled up normally and it seemed that nothing had happened. She hugged Xiaohua and then returned to it at Yinyi's urging.
Ye Zhizhi and Xiaohua had been soaking in the water all day and fighting for most of the night, which consumed a lot of physical energy. Now that she was reunited with the wolf pack, she felt completely relieved. After her mind relaxed, she felt sleepy and soon fell into a deep sleep while holding Yin Yi.
Yin Yi circled Ye Zhizhi, lowered his head and licked her, licking the blood off her body.
When licking the wound, Ye Zhizhi whimpered unconsciously, but did not wake up. Yin Yi heard the wolf girl's humming and licked it lighter and slower.
The lingering smell of blood attracted many predators. The three wolves, Erzong, Sanbai and Xiaobai, were patrolling around, and their domineering aura intimidated the predators in secret.
Ye Zhizhi woke up at dawn.
Her eyes were still closed, and she subconsciously rubbed the familiar fur, sniffing Yin Yi's scent and slowly waking up.
She wasn't dreaming, she found the wolf pack.
Ye Zhizhi rubbed his eyes, opened them and looked around.
Yin Yi raised his head, his ears erect, and looked ahead with bright eyes. Judging from his appearance, he must have not slept all night.
Small flowers are arranged in a circle not far away.
There was still a faint smell of blood on Ye Zhizhi's body, and he felt the pain belatedly.
It was impossible for her to emerge unscathed from the fight with the beast last night. Although she was not bitten, the thorns on the beast's back pierced her body with several bloody holes, and she also got some bumps when dodging.
Ye Zhizhi thought that they would not encounter any danger in the direction they were heading, but they were injured one by one after being separated for such a short period of time.
Ye Zhizhi discovered today that even Erzong, Sanbai and Xiaobai were injured, with a few shallow cuts on their bodies, but they did not affect the wolves' movements.
In other words, the only one who was not injured was Ginichi.
Ye Zhizhi: “…” What kind of human suffering is this?
As expected, we can't be careless or let our guard down.
Ye Zhizhi had no more medicine powder on him, so he had to go look for herbs first.
Perhaps this forest was relatively remote, and she might not be able to find even one of the herbs she knew on a single mountain.
Although there was no particularly effective clotting herb, the wolves found other plants that could be used to treat wounds.
Originally, in the eyes of the wolves, they could heal this injury quickly with their own physical fitness, but the wolf girl had no hair and her skin was not thick enough, so she looked very scary when she was slightly injured, and her healing speed was not as fast as theirs.
Yin Yi found some herbs and originally wanted to apply them to Ye Zhizhi's wounds, but Ye Zhizhi brought a lot of them back to the riverside and applied them to every injured wolf.
Xiaohua also lay on her back, washed off the dirt on her body, and applied a layer of herbs on her snake belly.
The effect of this herb is not as good as that of hemoclotting grass. It feels like an ordinary herb. It cannot be as immediate as the effect of hemoclotting grass, but it is better than nothing.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the wolves and snakes lying on the gentle slope by the river to recover from their injuries, then looked across the river and fell into deep thought.
She was also thinking of going to the Gobi Desert opposite to take a look, but given the current situation, could she get through?
Ye Zhizhi estimated the time. It should be about three or four months before the rainy season arrives. They will have half a month to recover from their injuries and make adequate preparations. Then there are still three months...
Ye Zhizhi thought about it and felt that there was enough time. If it really didn't work out, he would just take Yin Yi with him and let Er Zong and the others take Yin Xiao Hui back.
After deciding to stay by the river for half a month, Ye Zhizhi began to prepare his temporary residence.
The wind was strong by the river, and Ye Zhizhi hesitated for a moment before finally setting up the tent he had seen before on the leeward slope.
It had been a long time since she had touched human things, and she had never seen this kind of army green tent in her memory. She struggled for a long time before finally getting the tent firmly planted on the ground.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes sparkled. She walked in, turned around inside with her hands behind her back, and nodded with great satisfaction.
The interior space of this tent is large enough for an adult of about 1.8 meters to stand upright, and can also accommodate two adults lying down. It is very spacious for her.
Yin Yi squeezed his head through the tent, staring at her with his narrow wolf eyes, then moving them left and right. He was very curious about this strange thing and wanted to get in, but the tent was too small for a wolf, and there was no room to get in.
Yin Yi crawled into the front half of the body. If he forced hard, he could still squeeze in, but there was Ye Zhizhi inside, so he finally retreated.
The other wolves also looked around curiously.
When she first picked up the tent, she washed and dried it and spread it out directly, but the wolves didn't seem to be very curious. But when she spread it out today, the wolves became curious.
Xiaohua also wanted to see, but she was ordered by the cub to lie on her back so that the herbs on the wound could not fall off. So she crawled while lying there, and stubbornly stuck the snake's head in.
Even snakes want to "see"!
Ye Zhizhi: “…” Xiaohua is probably the only snake in the world that can crawl like this.
Ye Zhizhi was speechless for a while.
After setting up the tent, she still had a lot of things to do, such as drying meat, fruits, firewood, herbs, and making rafts.
It was rare to have something so popular, so Ye Zhizhi decided to sleep in the tent tonight. But maybe she was already used to sleeping with the furry thing in her arms, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she ran out, crawled into the belly of Yin Yi who was lying beside the tent, and put its thick forelimbs on her body before she fell asleep.
Yin Yi embraced the wolf girl and glanced proudly at the tent next to him. This strange thing had become as annoying as a python. It had already made up its mind to overturn it when the wolf girl was not paying attention. Now that the wolf girl took the initiative to come back and sleep with it, it would let it continue to exist.
Finally, Ye Zhizhi used this tent to store things. It happened that the cold dew was very heavy in the forest at night. After drying the things for a whole day, all the efforts were basically wasted after leaving them outside for one night.
Ye Zhizhi and the wolf pack settled down temporarily by the river. While she was busy with her work, she did not forget to pay attention to the wounds of the wolves and snakes from time to time.
Entering the forest again, Ye Zhizhi was more cautious.
She originally thought that there was nothing dangerous in this forest, but after this incident, she no longer dared to take any chances.
There is no absolutely safe place in the entire forest.
They had been so successful before, probably because there were more wolves than them, so she was not left alone and Yin Xiaohui was not injured.
It can be seen that the predators and plant killers in the forest all act according to the situation. When they are strong and gather together, it can be seen that they are not easy to deal with. If you try to bite this bone hard, you may break your teeth, so they basically avoid you and look for other targets.
But once they are left alone or injured, they will become like hyenas, showing greedy faces and wanting to devour them at any time.
Ye Zhizhi didn't go too deep into the forest. He got some vines and started processing the wood.
She didn't have to look for branches specifically. She had already cut a lot of branches, which she could dry and use as firewood.
Ye Zhizhi arranged the tree trunks one by one, and then began to tie them with vines.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know how the professionals handled it. She only knew that it had to be tied into a knot, with each strand tied tightly so that it wouldn't easily fall apart or move.
Just doing this was a lot of work, and the wolves and snakes couldn't help, but other things could still be done. There wasn't enough wood, and the wolves were forced to stop halfway when they encountered man-eating ants.
The three wolves, Silver One, Two Brown and Three White, entered the forest again to help drag the wood, while Little White patrolled near the river to prevent any more sneak attacks.
Yin Xiaohui, like Xiaohua, lay motionless not far from Ye Zhizhi, paying attention to Ye Zhizhi's every move.
Yin Yi and the others knew where the man-eating ants were, so they deliberately avoided that area and ran to the other side.
Yin Yi and San Bai went to a farther place to pick herbs for Ye Zhizhi. Even if the effects of those herbs were not that good, it was better to have them than nothing.
Ye Zhizhi paid special attention to finding things that could store water. That Gobi Desert looked so desolate, there should be very little water.
It looked like Xiaohua had a lot of holes on her body, but actually, they only injured her fur. I don’t know if it was because of her constitution, but her wounds healed the fastest, with scabs forming and falling off in less than five days.
Except for Silver Little Gray who was the most seriously injured, the other wolves were all able to move freely.
After the scabs on Ye Zhizhi's wounds fell off, he began to soak in water frequently, practicing breath holding and swimming.
Yin Yi initially watched Ye Zhizhi struggling in the water from the shore, but when Ye Zhizhi began to dive, her breath was quickly blocked by the water. Yin Yi could not sense Ye Zhizhi's presence and was so anxious that she kept pacing around on the shore.
If Ye Zhizhi hadn't surfaced quickly, Yin Yi might have gone into the water to find her.
Later, for some unknown reason, Yin Yi also started to go into the water, and soon a strange sight appeared on the riverside.
Wolves paddled in the water, their hair floating on the surface, swimming leisurely.
Wolves can swim, but they just don't like their fur to get wet. At first, they can only swim temporarily to avoid drowning, but soon they can swim faster and faster, and can even change direction flexibly.
Yin Yi also learned Ye Zhizhi's way of holding his breath underwater, burying his head in the water from time to time.
Ye Zhizhi was initially worried that the wolves would be washed away or sink. She looked at the wolves who swam just as well as she did and thought, great, even if the raft sank, she wouldn't have to worry about the wolves' lives.
After learning to climb trees, Yin Yi has also mastered the skill of diving. At this rate, it wouldn't be surprising if he learns to fly one day.
After half a month, Ye Zhizhi's huge raft was completed, almost occupying a large area on the shore, and was tied to the shore with vines woven into thick braids.
Ye Zhizhi checked Yin Xiaohuiyi's wound. It no longer affected its walking and the scab had begun to fall off. However, the wound was deep and it was not advisable to move around too much.
Ye Zhizhi thought about taking Yin Yi and Xiao Hua with him, but he was not at ease leaving the four wolves here.
What's more, the wolves all wanted to follow her. Ye Zhizhi had just expressed to Yin Xiaohui that she wanted it to stay here, but it acted like it was abandoned, clinging to her and howling in grievance.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the wet, pitiful animal eyes, hesitated for a moment, but still did not insist on separating.
She felt that it would be better for the wolves to stay together so that they could fight more effectively together.
Didn't you see that after they got together again, they were basically safe from attack? She also thought about Yinyi and Xiaohua. If she was left with only these two incompatible people, she might not be able to cope.
In the end, Ye Zhizhi decided to move forward together. At most, they would slow down the journey, stop and go, and rest more.
However, there is still one most important problem at the moment. The water flows downward, and if they want to cross the river, they need a boatman and the boat must have enough power to carry them across.
Ye Zhizhi looked down at her small body and realized she couldn't do it!
She looked around and her eyes fell on Xiaohua.
Xiaohua: “?”
