232 Back to the Jungle
◎Silver Wolf never cares about this outer layer of "skin"◎
Ye Zhizhi lay beside the silver wolf and slept very peacefully.
She had been sleeping in fragments since entering the jungle. The longest she slept was the night she ran into the giant beast's cave, but she didn't dare sleep that soundly. Not to mention she had been running for so long in the second half of the night and had another fight with the giant beast.
Her spirits had always been high, and she originally didn't feel tired at all, but now that she was next to the familiar wolf, she felt very tired, and was sleeping soundly next to the wolf mother.
When she woke up, she felt warm all over, and she lay on the silver wolf for a long time, unwilling to move. The wolf father beside her was no longer there. She raised her head and sniffed, but it hadn't gone far, but was lingering nearby, probably on patrol.
The silver wolf, who was lying down with his eyes closed to rest, noticed that the cub's breathing rate had changed, so he opened his eyes, turned his head and licked it.
The smell on her body that was unbearable to the wolf had not completely disappeared, and it continued to lick her.
Ye Zhizhi's clothes, which were originally wrapped tightly, were twisted by the silver wolf and became beggar-like. When she was sleeping, the silver wolf's claws tore her clothes open. When she sat up and moved, the pieces of clothes fluttered in the wind.
The silver wolf seemed to want to tear off the "skin" on her body and licked her all over like when she was a child.
She pushed the wolf's head, feeling quite embarrassed. She had grown up.
But the silver wolf had a serious face and was still pulling at her clothes.
Ye Zhizhi realized at this moment that it didn't like her wearing such clothes. She found it strange because her wolf mother never cared what kind of "skin" she wore, and she didn't know why it was so disgusted.
Ye Zhizhi hadn't taken a bath for many days. Now that Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom are around, she can do a lot of things she wants.
So she started crying out, she wanted to take a shower!
Of course, this matter could not be carried out immediately. After the two wolves saw that the cubs had rested well, they continued on their journey.
They are still in this very dangerous mountain range and have not yet completely walked out.
This time, Ye Zhizhi sat on Wolf Dad's back and left together.
Ye Zhizhi lay on Wolf Dad's back, feeling incredibly comfortable. She felt so safe being with Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom! She didn't have to be constantly vigilant about her surroundings, nor did she have to find her own route; she could just follow.
However, Ye Zhizhi noticed that they were not heading back to the wolf den in the canyon, but were heading towards other directions in the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi was so happy yesterday that he didn't even think of asking the wolf father and mother why they came here. This place is so far away from the jungle and is not the wolf pack's range of activities. Even when the wolf pack was training in the past, they never came here.
When she left the wolf pack, the wolf father and mother were still in the canyon. Ye Zhizhi thought they would stay in that area all the time, but she didn't expect them to run out here. Could it be that they came here specifically to find her?
Ye Zhizhi let out a cry of extreme pleasure.
Wolf Dad had a stern and majestic wolf face and made a low snoring sound in his throat. Ye Zhizhi refused to listen and she was sure that Wolf Mom and Wolf Dad came to see her specially.
Ye Zhizhi was very happy. It didn't matter if Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom didn't come back to the den. She had never been on a "trip" with them before! She felt a little sorry for Wolf Brother... But it didn't matter. Next time she had the chance, she would call Wolf Brother along!
Ye Zhizhi immediately put Brother Wolf and the others behind her, and was so happy that she didn't want to go home. She sat on the back of the majestic gray wolf. The wolf ran very steadily and fast, and the wind on both sides was whistling. She shouted: Charge, charge, charge!
The silver wolf ran beside him, its smooth fur moving in a very regular rhythm, gleaming with tiny rays of light under the golden light.
The two wolves ran for a day and a night and encountered no danger along the way.
Ye Zhizhi thought it was amazing. During the time she came back, she was attacked two to three times a day on average, but after being with Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom, she was no longer attacked.
It seems that the wolf father and wolf mother are more sensitive to danger. Many times, they avoid the danger far away before it comes to them. It turns out that the old ones are more experienced.
She thought she was already very good at this, but in comparison, she was still quite immature. Ye Zhizhi felt that it was not that she did not sense the danger in advance, when she sensed the danger, she would also avoid it in advance.
Most of her attackers were those she didn't consider dangerous, meaning she thought she could defeat them.
She didn't know what was going on with the animals, but it was as if there was something about her that attracted them, and they kept coming. But when she checked herself, there was nothing that attracted the animals.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it. She was never afraid of these things anyway, and now she had her wolf father and wolf mother by her side.
Ye Zhizhi was happy for a moment, then started to learn.
She had previously been with her wolf father and mother, primarily learning the techniques of tracking and hunting prey, and later also learned how to patrol and manage the territory. Now, she could also gain even more experience.
The wolf ran across another stream, slowed down, and walked leisurely through a bush. At this time, Ye Zhizhi could already see the edge of the foot of the other side of the huge mountain.
She looked back and saw that the mountain behind her was still standing tall and majestic, shrouded in clouds and mist, and the sea of forest covering the jungle was silent.
It took her about ten days to successfully cross the mountain range.
The wolves walked for a while and Ye Zhizhi felt vaguely familiar. Before she could remember what was familiar, she walked up the hill in front of her and saw a wide open space in front of her.
In front of them was a huge lake, reflecting the blue sky and endless mountains. The sunlight danced on the water, making the waves sparkle.
Isn’t this the lake where she and Xiaohua walked by water?
They had come here!
Ye Zhizhi's eyes lit up.
She and Xiaohua got out from underground this lake. It took her more than ten days to cross the mountains, but Xiaohua took her by water and it only took more than a day.
The gray wolf and the silver wolf stood on the top of the mountain for a moment, then ran down quickly.
Ye Zhizhi faced the wind and couldn't help but howl loudly: "Awoo——"
In a short while, they reached the edge of the lake.
Ye Zhizhi rolled over to the ground, threw his backpack to the ground, and then rushed towards the lake.
She was familiar with this lake and could go in the water. Without hesitation, she rushed into the water, splashing a lot of water.
Gray Wolf and Bank walked forward and then drank water on the shore.
Surrounded by the cool lake water, Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but swim. She dived into the water and disappeared directly under the surface, leaving only ripples.
Ye Zhizhi swam freely in the lake, and when she came out, she was holding a lively fish in her raised hand.
With a sudden swing, she threw the fish weighing more than ten pounds onto the shore. The fish jumped around and almost jumped back into the water. Wolf Dad was quick-eyed and quick-clawed, and he pressed down with one claw, and the big fish struggled in vain.
Ye Zhizhi said happily: "Eat grilled fish!"
The silver wolf that was originally standing on the shore, leisurely swinging its tail: "?" It turned its head to look at the cub in the water, its golden eyes narrowed slightly.
When Ye Zhizhi saw the wolf mother's expression, he subconsciously covered his mouth, blinked his big eyes, and after a moment he howled guiltily twice.
She felt that she had it too hard and often couldn't adapt to human society. She repeatedly reminded herself to remember to speak human language. However, once she returned to the jungle, she had to remind herself not to speak human language, otherwise the wolf mother would really make her mouth shut.
Ye Zhizhi quickly dived into the water again to continue catching fish.
Even just one fish is not enough to fill you up.
There are two more wolves!
Ye Zhizhi was very talented at fishing. He caught six big fish with his bare hands before washing himself clean and climbing ashore.
At this time, Wolf Dad also caught a prey nearby.
Ye Zhizhi, wearing wet clothes and with equally wet hair, took out his snakeskin suit from his backpack.
She looked around and ran behind a huge rock to change her clothes.
Her cool jungle combat uniform was already tattered, so she felt more comfortable wearing a snakeskin coat.
Ye Zhizhi stretched her arms and legs. She had grown a lot in the past year, so the clothes were a bit tight. Fortunately, because the snakeskin was long and wide, she could adjust it manually.
The silver wolf came over, stuck its head out and sniffed, barely satisfied, the hair on its face stretched out.
Ye Zhizhi soaked in the water for a long time, and all the odors were washed away, except for the backpack and the snake skin, which still had some miscellaneous smells.
What the Silver Wolf cared about was never this outer "skin", but the messy aura that Ye Zhizhi himself was carrying.
Ye Zhizhi was worried about having a hot meal today, so she ran to the edge of the jungle excitedly to look for dead branches and leaves, and called out to Wolf Dad to help drag the dead branches.
After picking up some fish, she built a temporary stove with the stones on the shore, took out a folding pot from her backpack, and prepared to cook some fish head soup.
Then he took some dead branches and leaves and made a fire.
Choking smoke wafted out, and the silver wolf that was originally lying beside Ye Zhizhi quietly moved away.
Father Wolf walked over slowly, biting a broken branch in his mouth and wrapping a bundle of twigs in his tail.
After dragging the dead branch to Ye Zhizhi's side, it stepped back a few steps and lay down beside the silver wolf. The two giant wolves just lay down behind Ye Zhizhi, wagging their tails and watching Ye Zhizhi busying around.
Ye Zhizhi brought back a lot of seasonings, but wolves don’t like cooked food, but they don’t reject it either.
Ye Zhizhi didn't grill the meat very well, and she used very little seasoning. She had learned a lot of grilling techniques, and now she could accurately control the degree of doneness she wanted. She grilled it to medium-rare and gave the grilled fish and meat, which had been lightly seasoned, to the two wolves.
Her own was cooked more thoroughly.
The wolf father and mother were very considerate and concentrated on eating with relish.
Of course, she did not roast all the prey that Wolf Dad hunted. She only cut off a part of the meat, and the rest went into the stomachs of the two wolves.
Ye Zhizhi was also very full, so she stood up and took a leisurely walk to digest the food, turning her head to look at the two wolves lying there comfortably.
“Ah~”
Ye Zhizhi asked, where are they going next?
The wolf father and wolf mother raised their heads slightly but did not respond. They did not have a specific destination and just went wherever they wanted.
Ye Zhizhi rolled her eyes. Since she had no destination, why not go meet some friends along the way and continue exploring the jungle together? She felt that the jungle was full of dangers, and it would be safer to have more companions.
She asked Xiaohua not to come to see her this year, and it really didn't come. Instead, it was really waiting for her to find it.
Ye Zhizhi had originally prepared to break her promise to Xiaohua, but now she has returned to the jungle. How could she bear to let Xiaohua wait for her foolishly?
She wants to find Xiaohua.
If there is still time, go back to the den. If there is no time, let the mother and father wolf take her along the same route they took when they brought her back to the den.
Next year and beyond, she won't have to spend time finding her way home.
