Good luck every time

Chapter 35 Meeting the Wolf

At night, three people slept on a small kang.

Li Ruyi turned over due to the heat.

The old lady was very smart and went back to her bed to enjoy the cool air early.

When Li Ruyi woke up from the heat again, she couldn't help but envy the old lady. She wondered when she would be old enough to no longer be afraid of mosquitoes.

In a daze, she fell into sleep again.

The next morning, she woke up before daybreak.

Li Ruyi took three wild vegetable dumplings and a bamboo tube of water, checked to see if he needed anything, and went out.

Her clothes were tied neatly, and after entering the mountain, she quickly found a small stream and dug some mud from it to smear on her face and hands.

Following the vague memories of his previous life, Li Ruyi walked all the way into the mountains.

She would pick anything she came across on the road as long as it was not poisonous.

Although the sour and astringent wild fruits are not delicious, they can satisfy your hunger.

Li Ruyi walked for most of the day before reaching a place where the villagers could not come up.

Once she reached the depths of the forest, she had to be much more careful.

The trees here are very tall, blocking out the sun and keeping out the hot summer heat.

She was not in a hurry to set the trap, but first found a suitable place to set up camp.

It can't be too far from the water source, but it can't be too close either.

Otherwise, when large wild animals come to drink water, they will use her as a snack.

Li Ruyi had also stayed in the mountains in her previous life. She didn’t know if her method at that time was right, but it did prevent her from encountering too many risks.

She did the same this time.

Li Ruyi picked a big tree and climbed up. He didn't find any snakes, so he placed a rope on a thick branch some distance above the ground.

As she climbed down, she reconfirmed the location of the tree and marked it before leaving.

She began to search for traces quietly. The most common animals in the mountains were pheasants and rabbits, and they were her targets as well.

She knew the trails those things followed and soon found a rabbit hole.

The rabbit hole was interconnected, so she had to find another exit to set down the net.

Following the terrain, Li Ruyi quickly determined the locations of other cave entrances.

She didn't know how she was doing. After all, she was a novice hunter and she was quite tolerant of herself.

After putting down the net, she returned to the entrance of the hole and found a pile of dry and fresh branches. She lit them and stuffed them into the rabbit hole. Soon, a smoky smell came from it.

This method hurts both others and yourself. Li Ruyi's eyes turned red from choking. He took a large leaf and fanned the smoke into the rabbit hole.

But she didn't dare go too far away, for fear that she might catch fire.

She didn't know when it would be enough, so after stuffing a lot of branches in, she squatted there and waited for a while. When the branches were burned out and the fire was out, she blocked the place with stones.

Li Ruyi went to see the hole where the net was set up just now. It was pretty good. One of the nets caught two yellow rabbits, one big rabbit and one half-grown rabbit.

There is nothing in the remaining holes, so they may not be the same as the rabbit holes here.

The other two rabbits had already dug holes and ran away because Li Ruyi arrived too late.

But I got one and a half rabbits in one go, which is considered a small gain.

Looking at the sky, Li Ruyi didn't dare to struggle any longer. He picked up some firewood and built a fire on the open ground and lit it.

The air was filled with smoke, giving off an unpleasant smoky smell.

Li Ruyi climbed up the tree amid the smoky smell.

She tied up the two rabbits and put them in a backpack, using some bad-smelling grass to cover up their smell.

She put the things in the backpack into a net bag made of rope net.

These things were suspended by two ropes.

Li Ruyi climbed onto a stable branch, secured her tattered quilt with a rope, and then hid herself inside.

The forest is very dangerous at night. Nocturnal beasts move around in the darkness, and people are as fragile as paper among them.

Fortunately, Li Ruyi was well prepared. The beast did not like the smell of fire, nor did it like the smell of smoke after the fire burned.

Although the rabbit made a lot of crackling noises that night, Li Ruyi and the rabbit were still safe when daybreak came.

Li Ruyi packed up his things and started a new day of hunting.

However, her luck was not good today. She checked the trap and found nothing. She followed the rabbit hole and put down the net, then lit the branches the same way as yesterday, but found nothing.

After working hard for most of the day, I made myself look dirty and dusty.

Just when Li Ruyi was thinking about whether to abandon this stronghold and find a new location to hunt, he suddenly heard the howling of wolves not far away.

The voice was rapid and fierce. It was not calling companions, but seemed to be hunting. Li Ruyi was startled.

There are clearly no signs of wolves around here, which means this is not an area where wolves often move around. So why are there wolves here?

Li Ruyi had no habit of seeking death. Without waiting for the sound to get closer, she turned around and found a tree to climb up.

After climbing to a certain height, she stretched her head to look where the wolf howling came from.

After seeing this, I don’t know whether to be speechless or speechless.

The wolf was just an ordinary gray wolf, and it was difficult to see the situation clearly from the distance.

All Li Ruyi could see was a glimpse of clothing among the dim shadows of the trees.

If she was not mistaken, those were the clothes from the Zhizhi Academy in the county.

It just so happened that she had an acquaintance in that academy.

Thinking that the person coming might be Han Shian, she suddenly felt that being chased by the wolf was not a big deal!

But how should the wolf respond?

Li Ruyi was a little embarrassed. She couldn't beat the wolf?

Li Ruyi thought about it, climbed down the tree, walked forward, and quickly climbed up a tree before the wolf was attracted by her footsteps.

As soon as she climbed up the tree, she heard Han Shian scream.

Li Ruyi was startled and quickly stretched his head to look, thinking that the wolf had thought of some way to attack Han Shian!

However, she obviously underestimated Han Shian's misfortune.

Han Shian suddenly threw a snake off the tree.

The snake was a very common pine snake, not very venomous and not prone to attacking humans.

It seems that Han Shian has intruded into its territory.

Li Ruyi quickly looked around and felt relieved when he didn't see any snake on the tree.

However, just as she was thinking of the snake, she suddenly heard the wolf's growl again.

Soon, the wolf and the snake started fighting.

Wolves generally like to eat live snakes. They bite the snake's tail and eat it bit by bit. The snake will also fight back by wrapping around and biting it.

The wolf naturally won.

Snakes are originally on the wolf's diet, but it doesn't eat them normally because it can't get them. Now that they are delivered to it, how can it let them run away?

This battle lasted for a long time.

After a long time, no new wolves came. Li Ruyi carefully observed the wolf from the gap between the shadows of the trees. From its movements and reactions, it seemed that it was an old lone wolf that had been expelled from the pack.

Its teeth were not in good condition and its nose was bleeding from the snake bite.

Li Ruyi felt uncomfortable watching this. She felt like she had almost finished eating the snake, but the wolf was still swinging it around.

However, she did not dare to be careless. A wolf is still a wolf after all, and even if it is old, she is not someone she can deal with.

She wanted to wait and see if the wolf would leave after eating. If not, she would have to find a way to discuss with Han Shian how to deal with it.

The two of them couldn't just stay squatting on the tree until the wolf left!

The key is that she doesn’t eat enough and drink enough water!
