Are you crying over it like a funeral?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the dumb bear before him, Xiao Yi, his voice tinged with impatience, called out loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi had seen many online stories of animals expressing true emotion, but he’d never witnessed it himself—today’s two bears had opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xiao Yi fetched new Arctic willow herbs, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, and reapplied them to the big bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the big bear was lucky—its wound hadn’t become infected yet, likely because he’d applied medicine in time yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there’s no infection, even though it now seems weak and hasn’t fully passed the danger zone, its chances of survival are still high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going forward, Xiao Yi planned to apply medicine twice daily; whether the big bear would survive depended entirely on whether it could open its eyes in the next two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woo! Woo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the medicine change, the injured bear let out low whimpers of pain, much like a dog hurt at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the sound, the cub beside it settled down and lay back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon Xiao Yi brought back bone broth and slowly fed a few sips to the injured bear—he didn’t know how much it could drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every sip it swallowed helped its recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After settling the big bear, Xiao Yi’s lips curled slightly as he turned to look at the cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met—the cub instantly felt a premonition of doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the main live stream, when Bae Ye, Yang Qing, and the others saw the comments flooding the screen, they froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had they missed overnight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just then they saw Xiao Yi applying medicine to the bear—again, they were speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really the Xiao Yi they knew? And was that lying creature even the cub they recognized?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell had happened to this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon they accepted reality, especially after searching the music platform for footage of yesterday’s wild battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Xiao Yi take on four wolves alone and force them all to retreat, they marveled again at his personal strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cub’s plea for help, Xiao Yi’s treatment of the black bear—all of it made them feel the world was vast and full of wonders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, the three in the main stream were already accustomed to Xiao Yi’s unpredictable antics—after their amazement, they returned to their daily work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qing and Luo Han had now grown accustomed to their current roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, though they’d adapted, they were about to leave the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Bae Ye, who was a permanent fixture, the show had signed ten major guests, paired in groups of two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each pair stayed in the main stream for twenty days—today marked the halfway point of their contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that’s all for later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right—dig like that! Didn’t you eat today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dig deeper here! How can you be so stupid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dog Egg, go find some food—we’re nearly out of rations. I don’t keep idle bears.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar! Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar all you want! Do you still want to save Black Egg? Do you still want to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A normal person would find it hard to believe this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this lonely, barren, death-laden tundra, such a lively scene had erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even harder to believe: this lively scene was sparked by one man and one bear—they were, yes, building a house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewers had seen this scene for many days now, yet it still amazed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m truly impressed—this is even allowed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Music Platform, I’m reporting you! Wasn’t it promised that each contestant lives alone? How can he bring a pet? Unfair!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is anyone from the Animal Protection Association here? Someone’s abusing an animal—why isn’t anyone stopping this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today I’ve gained a new insight: if you want your bear to work well, you’ve got to make it find its own grass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dog Egg: “Maybe I’m not human, but you’re definitely a dog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still can’t believe my fierce and hilarious little bear has become someone’s hired bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My little bear’s life is so hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha, what can I do? Who else but my Xiao Shen is so incredibly brilliant, using the injured big bear to threaten my little bear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another day of feeling sorry for my little bear—what kind of stupid name did my Xiao Shen come up with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, my Xiao Shen is a naming genius!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days had passed since the great battle between man, bear, and wolf—and much had happened in those days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, both bears were now hired laborers, working to repay their medical bills and daily food costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi never made a losing deal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two bears consumed enormous amounts of food—the meat from the two wolves had been entirely consumed by the two bears and Xiao Yi in just three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, Xiao Yi had mixed in plenty of wild vegetables with the broth; otherwise, the two wolves wouldn’t have been enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, two bears and one man—the severely injured big bear, under Xiao Yi’s care, had reopened its eyes two days ago, but its injuries still prevented it from working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the injured bear’s workload fell entirely on the cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence the scene just witnessed—the cub had indeed considered resisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Xiao Yi cut off its food and refused to apply medicine to the injured black bear, it chose to return to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for physical resistance, the cub had considered it too—until it saw Xiao Yi lift a willow log and pin it down, forcing it to help carry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the smartest bear on the tundra, unlike its idiotic brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it only prayed its idiotic brother would recover soon, so it could say goodbye to this hateful man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No… never see him again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, Xiao Yi, in a moment of whimsy, had given both bears names: the cub was now Dog Egg, the injured big bear was Black Egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi himself was very pleased with these names!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d even considered naming them Bear One and Bear Two—but ultimately felt Black Egg and Dog Egg sounded better, so he abandoned the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Xiao Yi had called the cub Black Egg and the injured bear Dog Egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew the dumb bear would play tricks, thinking he was tricking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, when he called it Black Egg, it outright refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Xiao Yi, on impulse, took the name he considered slightly worse—Dog Egg—and took it away from the injured bear and gave it to the cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time the cub didn’t refuse—it reluctantly accepted. After all, when you’re under someone’s roof, you’ve got to bow your head.\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","60b5dd6705bcfbd5f1442985d7c198c5c85a602a3a9c4458d05121167fff0e87","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-53","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-51",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
