i have a small world

Chapter 1598

"There is an island ahead, I see the island, captain, I see the island!" A voice of extreme surprise sounded from the lifeboat, Xu Chang and Ling Tie turned to look in the direction of the sound.

"Captain, look, it's on our right hand side, the island, the island...!" The team member's voice was a bit incoherent, which shows how strong the joy in his heart is.

"It's really an island, Xuchang, we found the island, we're safe!" Ling Tie had already spotted the island at this time, although the island in the distance was just a dark coastline, Ling Tie's powerful eyesight had already It can be confirmed that the coastline is the island.

"Huh..., it's safe at last!" Xu Chang let out a long breath, and the worries in his heart were completely let go. From falling into the sea yesterday to now, Xu Chang's heart has always been mentioning this. , although Xu Chang has three such experiences, but the power of the storm is really too strong, and the lifeboat under them is too tattered, as long as there is a slight mistake, Xu Chang and the others will be destroyed.

Therefore, in fact, Xu Chang has always mentioned it in his heart, and it is not as meaningless as he appears on the outside.

"Brother Ling, shall we lean over now?" Xu Chang asked Ling Tie, he didn't want to stay on the sea anymore, with islands, Xu Chang definitely didn't want to stay on some lifeboat anymore.

"Well, Xu Chang, let's lean over. This lifeboat is too dangerous. We'd better go to the island to be safer." Ling Tie directly agreed with Xu Chang's suggestion and prepared to go to the island.

"However, Xuchang. There is no danger in such an island, right?" Ling Tie was very careful, although he could not wait to get on the island immediately.However, safety is still the first thing he needs to consider.

"Don't worry, Brother Ling. There won't be any danger on such an island. This island is actually not big. It is estimated that it is only a dozen kilometers in range. Such a small island will not have any dangerous things on it. of.

Even savage beasts would not like to live on such a small island. Such a small island is at best a temporary habitat for some flying savage beasts or birds.On such a small island, there are too few things on it. Even the previous Thunderstorm Gull would not choose to live on this small island. "

Xu Chang replied to Ling Tie confidently, Xu Chang didn't care about the dangers on this island at all. According to Xu Chang's experience, there would never be any large creatures on such a small island, because such a small island , there simply will not be enough food.And without enough food, how could those large beasts live here.

At most, there are some birds and snakes on this island, and there will be nothing else.

"That's good. Our current state is not very good. Everyone has been fighting the huge waves with all their strength for such a long time. Therefore, everyone's energy and energy are almost exhausted now. If there are any dangerous things on the island .I really dare not go to the island now."

What Ling Tie said was very solid, they really didn't have much strength now.To know.It has been a full sixteen hours from about seven o'clock last night to eleven o'clock now. During these sixteen hours, people like Ling Tie didn't take much rest, and they were even constantly fighting with the huge waves. Fighting, it can be said that these sixteen hours of fighting have completely exhausted the energy and energy of Ling Tie and the others. The main reason why Ling Tie and the others have been able to persevere is their expectations for life.

The idea of ​​wanting to live has been lingering in Ling Tie and the others' hearts, so even if they have consumed too much energy, Ling Tie and the others have not completely fallen yet.

However, just because Ling Tie and the others didn't fall before, doesn't mean that Ling Tie and the others won't fall now.Before a person sees hope, the fighting spirit in this person's heart will be extremely strong, and he will not give up easily, but once this person sees hope, then this person's fighting spirit will begin to weaken rapidly, and eventually lose his fighting spirit until.

Just like long-distance running, if you keep running, you can still run hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters, but if someone tells you that you have completed the long-distance running, I believe that at this time, you will immediately Stop, and even if you start running together, in the end, you will not be able to run a few steps, because at this time, the fighting spirit in your heart has disappeared.

"Hehe, Brother Ling, you are thinking so comprehensively." Xu Chang complimented Ling Tie, and then he drove the lifeboat to the island not far away: "Brother Ling, although such a small island will not There is something dangerous, but we'd better take precautions, God knows if there are some powerful savage beasts living on this small island because of avoiding this storm, Brother Ling, don't you think so?"

"Well, that's true." Ling Tie agreed with Xu Chang's suggestion, so Ling Tie quickly stood up and ordered loudly: "Everyone, get ready and check everything around carefully, we are going to the island."

"Yes, captain!" Everyone on the lifeboat answered Ling Tie very seriously, and then everyone became vigilant.Maybe someone will say, we have already arrived here, so we need to be so cautious, isn't this superfluous!

In fact, these things are not superfluous, but you must do.Remember this sentence, the closer you are to success, the more careful you have to be. This time is actually your most dangerous time.

As the saying goes, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety!

This sentence comes from the Western Han Dynasty? Liu Xiang's "Warring States Policy? Qin Policy Five? Calling the King of Qin": "The poem says: 'Half a hundred miles is half of ninety.' This statement is also difficult at the end.".It is interpreted as walking a hundred miles, and ninety miles is considered halfway.It is a metaphor that the closer to success, the more difficult it is to do things, and the more serious it is.

There is another allusion to the saying that a person who travels a hundred miles is half ninety:

It is said that relying on the strong strength and favorable terrain of the Qin State, the King of Qin successfully implemented the "Lianheng" policy of "distance and near attack".Over the past few years, the Six Nations have either been breached or weakened.Seeing that the overall situation was settled, King Qin gradually relaxed his efforts.Hand over political affairs to Xiangguo, and drink and have fun in the palace.Enjoy it to your heart's content.

One day, the guard reported to King Qin that there was an old man nearly [-] years old who had just rushed to the capital from a hundred miles away, and he must go to the palace to see King Qin.The king of Qin received him personally.

The king of Qin said: "Old man, you have just come from a far place, the journey must have been very hard!"

The old man said: "Yes! The old minister set off from his hometown and traveled 10 miles for 10 days. After walking for another 10 days and [-] miles, he finally reached the capital."

The King of Qin laughed and said, "Old man, did you make a mistake? You walked 10 miles in the first 10 days, but why did you only walk 10 miles in the next [-] days?"

The old man replied: "In the first 10 days, I went all out and went all out. After walking for 10 miles, I felt really tired. The remaining 10 miles seemed to be getting longer and longer. It took a lot of strength, so I walked for [-] days to Xianyang. Looking back, the ninety miles ahead can only be regarded as half of the distance.”

The King of Qin nodded and said, "The old man has come all the way to see me, what can you say to me?"

The old man replied: "I just want to tell the king the reason for walking. The great cause of the unification of our Qin State is about to be completed. It's like the old minister has walked ninety miles. But I hope that the past success can only be achieved by the king. See it as half of the career, and the other half needs to be worked hard to complete. If you slack off now, then the road ahead will be particularly difficult, and you may even give up halfway. You will not reach the end!"

The king of Qin thanked the old man for his advice, and he no longer dared to slack off, but instead devoted all his energy to the great cause of unifying the six kingdoms.

Walking ninety miles in a hundred miles can only be regarded as half of the journey. It is a metaphor that the closer you are to success, the less you can relax. You must persist to the end and strive for the final victory.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ma Yuan, who fought for Liu Xiu in the Southern and Northern Wars, made outstanding contributions and made great military achievements. After he pacified the south, he "returned his brigade to the capital, gave him a reinforcement cart, and met the nine officials in court."Being treated so favorably by the emperor, General Fubo's mansion naturally had a bright lintel, and the entire mansion was honored.

It is conceivable that in Luoyang City, the children of their family must be proud of their spring breeze.

If it's just about complacency, it's fine, if you don't know how to check it, if you don't stop complacent, you will be arrogant, if you are too arrogant, you will be rampant.However, once the children of high-ranking cadres do not know how to restrain themselves, they will cause troubles and cause troubles, and their families will be affected.

Throughout the ages, among the young people who came from high-ranking officials and noble families, there are of course many good ones, but there are also many bad ones.

Ma Yuan wrote this letter with good intentions. At that time, he was leading his troops in a bloody battle in Cochin, but he was watching all the developments in the capital.Including who the two nephews and young masters are with in Luoyang, where they eat, drink and have fun, and what nonsense they say, they all know it clearly. It seems that his intelligence system is very efficient and his eyes are spread widely.

Although he is a professional soldier, he has a strong political consciousness. He is worried that the stupidity of his children will ruin his reputation throughout his life and the reputation of his Ma family.

Therefore, he wrote this letter to his two virtuous nephews: "I want you to hear about people's faults, just like hearing the names of parents. You can hear them with your ears, but you can't speak them with your mouth. You are good at discussing people's merits. It is a great evil, and I would rather die than hear that my descendants have done this."

He also warned the two of them that besides not talking nonsense, they should also have a choice about what kind of friends they make.

"Long Bo is honest and careful, speaks without choice, humble and frugal, honest and powerful, my love is the most important, I hope you will follow Cao. Du Jiliang is a hero and righteous. Lost. My father’s death is a guest, and I have arrived in several counties. My love is the most important, and I don’t want you Cao Xiaoye. I can’t imitate Bo Gao, but I’m still a man of sincerity. If you can't be good, you will fall into the world's frivolous people, the so-called failure to paint a tiger, and you will be like a dog."

Long Bogao and Du Jiliang are obviously active members of the youth circle in Luoyang, and they are also friends of Ma Yuan's nephews Ma Yan and Ma Dun.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" said that the two brothers in the Mafu "like to ridicule and discuss, but they are fond of chivalrous men."But judging from a case that happened later, these young people, including Liang Song, Dou Gu, and other authentic royal relatives, must have taken advantage of their power and favored them, indulged in peace and happiness, and talked unjustly. jealousy.

When Ma Yuan's "Book of Commandments to Nephews" was posted to Luoyang, he was immediately caught making a big fuss, and Du Jiliang was sued at once, saying that he was "frivolous and confused the crowd. General Fubo Wanli returned the book to warn his brothers, and Liang Song and Dou Gu made friends with each other. I will slap him for his frivolity and defeat the chaos of Xia."

These two aristocrats are much more leathery than Ma Yan and Ma Dun.I had no choice but to kowtow desperately to beg for mercy on the stone steps of the palace, until the melon seeds on the head were knocked out with big bumps and blood, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty showed mercy and let them go without punishment.

It is estimated that after they come out, they will definitely blame the Ma brothers, and watch your uncle add fuel to the fire.Good job.

As for Ma Yan and Ma Dun, if they were involved in the case if they hadn't said something in this letter from home, Liu Xiu might not have been punished lightly.

Although Ma Yuan's letter saved his nephew from disaster, it is strange that this old man who taught others to be cautious in words and deeds, and to be self-disciplined, was ultimately corrupted by what he himself criticized: "good discussion" People are good or bad, false right is wrong, "this is my greatest evil".

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" is behind his biographies.I made a summary, in fact, I sighed for him: "However, it is wise to avoid disasters for others, but it is impossible to avoid slander.

On the occasion of fame and fame.Why?If Fuli is not in your body, you will be wise if you use it to plan things; if you are not selfish, you will be strict if you use it to judge righteousness. "These words are worth pondering for each of us.

"Returning to the capital from the aid of oneself. The number of people who have been seen has been seen, and he is good at entering the right. You are good at describing the actions of the previous life. Every word refers to the elders of the three assistants, down to the young people in the village. Everyone can watch and listen. From the crown prince to the king's servants and hearers, they all forget their ears. tired.

He is also good at military strategy, and the emperor once said: "Fubo discusses soldiers, which agrees with me." "Every time you have a plan, you don't have to use it"; "He has a clear beard and hair, and his eyebrows are picturesque".

I don't know if this honor, respect, kindness, and praise played the role of alcohol's anesthesia, making Old General Ma dizzy?Or has his memory weakened as he gets older, and he has already forgotten the stern words he once warned others?

Once, when he went to war, all civil and military officials blocked the way to see him off. This is the emperor's favor to you, so you can enjoy your glory. Do you need to reprimand Liang Song and Dou Gu in public?He stopped his horse and taught them: "Ordinary people are valuable, and they should be degraded. If you want to be humble, you should stay high and stand firm, and think contemptuously."

These words, spoken directly in the language of the common people, are: no matter how high you climb, you may fall down. If you want to keep your head from falling, you have to do it yourself.

Of course, these words are not bad, and I believe that the old general is absolutely well-intentioned, but if he said it in such a grand and grand ceremony, it would definitely serve as a public humiliation.

Another time, when he was ill, Liang Song came to visit him, "I worshiped under the bed alone, and did not answer for help.

After the pine was gone, the sons asked: "Liang Bosun's son-in-law is very valuable to the court, and everyone below the public is not afraid of it. How can the adults not be courteous?" '

Yuan said: "I am Song's father and friend."Although it is expensive, why lose its order? '"

In the end, it was this Liang Song who hated him so much that he was defeated and cut his rank, leaving him without a place to bury him, and ended up in a very miserable end.

Of course, it is not that villains cannot be offended. As a soldier, it is really unreasonable for a soldier to ignore even the most basic strategy and tactics, and blindly launch an attack.

Chen Liang from the Song Dynasty talked about Deng Yu's words in "Zhu Gu Lun II", which is most appropriate for Ma Yuan's ending. "There is a saying: 'Half a journey of a hundred miles is ninety', so the wise men of ancient times have tried their best when they are on the verge of completion."

Therefore, to paraphrase a great man, it is not difficult for a person to stay sober, but it is difficult to stay sober for a lifetime.

For the elderly, this can also be regarded as a motto worth learning.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Boom...!" There was a very slight collision sound, and then, a dilapidated lifeboat that was only tied with ropes and barely kept the shape of a ship approached the beach. On the beach, people like Xu Chang and Ling Tie climbed out of the boat as fast as they could, and threw themselves directly on the beach, breathing heavily.

"Hoo......, huh......!" Such exhalations came and went one after another on the beach.

"Hahahaha...!" Before the sound of breathing fell, soon, there was a burst of joyous laughter from the beach, which was full of the joy of escaping from death.

"Hahaha, we finally got ashore safely. Such a big storm couldn't keep us in the sea. God bless us!" Ling Tie shouted with joy, the feeling of narrow escape was really amazing. Very good.

"Hahaha. That's right, Brother Ling. It's really God's blessing to escape from death this time!" Xu Chang replied panting.Xu Chang also believed that it was God's blessing that he was finally able to go ashore safely this time.

"Ouch...!" Just as Xu Chang finished speaking, a painful cry came out of his mouth.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter with Xu Chang?" Ling Tie jumped up nervously.

"Hehe, it's nothing, brother Ling, don't be nervous, I was just caught by a crab on the beach. Oh, it hurts, it hurts!" Seeing that Ling Tie had misunderstood, Xu Chang quickly explained, but, maybe Xu Chang was very popular with the crabs, and before he could finish his reply, Xu Chang's ass was clamped by the crabs again, and Xu Chang, who was in pain, began to cry again.

"Hahahaha...!" Ling Tie and the others burst out laughing...

"Everyone get up. Now is not the time for us to rest." After 5 minutes, Ling Tie stood up with great perseverance and called the players lying on the beach to get up.

"We have just landed now, and we don't know what the island is like. We also don't know whether there are dangerous things on it, so we have to check the specific situation of the island first for safety. Everyone act quickly !" Ling Tie is a practical person, he doesn't like to procrastinate when doing things.If there is anything, Ling Tie will do it right away.Then go on to rest or something.

"Yes, captain!" Ling Tie answered in a weak voice, the team members were too tired.

However, these team members also knew that what Ling Tie said was correct, so no matter how tired they felt, these team members got up quickly and began to assemble.

"Very good, everyone's fighting spirit is still very high, so I can rest assured!" The speed of the team members getting up was a bit slow, but this is also excusable. After hours, it will look like this.

"Now I will assign tasks." Ling Tie stood in front of the team members and began to give orders: "The first team is going to the east, carefully checking the situation on the east side of the island, the second team is going to the west, and the third team is going to the north. , the fourth team went to the south, and the rest of the people started to collect food, understand?" Ling Tie was very quick to do things, and quickly finished his orders.

"Understood, Captain!" All the team members answered Ling Tie loudly.

"Very good, let's go!"

"Yes, Captain!" Soon, the four teams headed in the direction Ling Tie said, and went to check the surroundings of the island.

"Brother Ling, they all have things to do, so I..." Xu Chang stepped forward to ask Ling Te, and Ling Tie has not arranged anything for Xu Chang until now.

"Xuchang, leave these things to us. You should rest now. You have been driving the boat from yesterday to now, and you are more tired than any of us. Therefore, Xuchang, you should go first now." Rest, you know, if we want to go back in the future, we will have to rely on you, Xuchang, to drive the boat!"

Ling Tie said to Xu Chang with a gentle face, checking the situation on the island and collecting food, Ling Tie is not going to let Xu Chang do it, this is not only because Xu Chang was too tired before, but also because Xu Chang is not a soldier .

Ling Tie and the others are soldiers. The duty of soldiers is to protect ordinary people. It is still dangerous to check the situation around the island. How can such a dangerous matter be left to ordinary people like Xu Chang.

If such a dangerous thing is not entrusted to ordinary people like Xu Chang, then what are soldiers like Ling Tie doing? What's more, Xu Chang is a protected object when he comes out to search for gold mines this time, so check the situation on the island and collect food , Ling Tie will arrange for Xu Chang to do it.

Of course, Ling Tie would not say these reasons, so in order to make Xu Chang feel at ease, Ling Tie directly used the excuse that Xu Chang will be driving a boat in the future to deal with Xu Chang, so that Xu Chang can rest at ease.

The results showed that Ling Tie's excuse was indeed very effective. After Xu Chang heard the reason Ling Tie said, he didn't say anything about checking the island and collecting food. He sat down to rest honestly.

An hour later, members of the four teams sent by Ling Tie began to come back one after another. The four teams came back in good condition, and there were no traces of battle on their bodies. Obviously, this island is just like what Xu Chang said. , there is no danger.

"Everyone came back safely. It seems that this small island is very safe." Ling Tie nodded, very satisfied with the result: "Xuchang, can you confirm where we are now?"

"Brother Ling, I'm sorry. I can't confirm this. We have lost our way many times at sea, so I can't remember which direction we are now." Xu Chang answered Ling Tie very embarrassed.

"That's it...!" Xu Chang's answer did not exceed Ling Tie's expectations, so he was not depressed: "Then Xu Chang, can you identify the direction according to the stars in the sky?"

"It can, but Brother Ling, it can only be done at night." Xu Chang answered Ling Tie confidently, identifying the direction according to the position of the stars in the sky.This is not difficult at all for Xuchang, who was born as a fisherman for generations.

"That's good, that's good. In this case, we can save ourselves!" After receiving Xu Chang's affirmative answer, the big rock in Ling Tiexin's heart was finally put down. As long as they can recognize the direction, they will be able to go back sooner or later .

Now it seems that Ling Tie and the others can't go back, because they don't have a solid boat.However, although this small island is small, there are still many trees, which are enough for Ling Tie and the others to build a raft.With the raft and the identification of the direction, it is no longer a dream to go back.

"Brother Ling. Are you thinking of a way to go home?" Xu Chang quickly understood the reason why Ling Tie asked him so. Ling Tie was thinking of a way to go home.

"Well. This time we came out to look for gold mines. I believe you will understand the importance of gold mines in Xuchang. Therefore, we have to go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the gold mines are found by others, then we will be sinners." gone."

Ling Tie answered Xu Chang with a serious face. As the person in charge of this operation, Ling Tie was very aware of the importance of gold mines. It can be said that even if they are all wiped out, they still need to find gold mines. Guarantee that the warrior army will become stronger in the future.

"Brother Ling, don't worry, I will do my best to bring everyone back." Xu Chang didn't say much, and directly expressed his position.

"Xuchang..." Ling Tie was very excited. He shook Xu Chang's right hand tightly, and then said very forcefully, "Thank you! Xu Chang!"

When you are in the wild, once you get lost, the consequences will be extremely serious. At this time, you have to know how to identify the direction.

If you get lost in the wild, you must calm down, ensure that your thinking and actions are not confused, and after ensuring your own safety, use your own knowledge or experience to identify the direction, carefully observe the surrounding environment, and use some auxiliary tools to find the direction.

In the absence of equipment such as topographic maps and compass, we must learn to use some characteristics of nature to determine the direction, one is with the help of tools, and the other is with the help of natural characteristics.

Look at the direction with the watch:

In a clear day, the east and west can be easily known according to the sunrise and sunset, and the direction can also be judged, but it can only be a rough estimate. There are several methods for more accurate measurement:

The direction of the watch is "half the hour to the sun, and 12 refers to the north". Generally, the direction can be quickly identified between 9:4 am and 12:14 pm, and the direction pointed to by half of the time is facing the sun. The degree is the north, such as the time at 40:7 in the afternoon, half of which is 20:12, and the hour hand points to the sun, then 12 points to the north, or the watch is placed flat, the hour hand points to the sun, and the hour hand and the [-]-hour scale bisector The reverse direction of extension is north;

Or put a watch, put a small stick vertically in the center of the watch and turn the watch so that the shadow of the stick coincides with the hour hand, and the bisector between the hour and the 12 o'clock scale is north.The earth rotates 24 degrees in 360 hours, so 1 hour is 15 degrees, and the watch rotates 360 degrees for 12 hours, which is twice as fast as the sun. In this way, the watch and the sun can be used to roughly determine the orientation.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the sun is in the east, and the shadow points to the west. If the dial hour hand 6 points to the sun, 12 on the dial will point to the west; North; also at 90:6 noon, the sun is in the south, divide 2 by 3 to get 3, then 12 points to the sun, then 12 points to the north.

The disadvantage of determining the direction by this method is that it is best to consider the local time difference to avoid the deviation of the direction, but it may be used as a simple judgment of the approximate direction.

Must pay attention to:

(1) When determining the direction, the watch should be placed flat;

（2）在南、北纬20°30′之间地区的中午前后不宜使用，即以标准时的经线为准。每向东15°加1小时，向西15°减1小时。

Orientation with the help of natural features

1. Use the sun

The skill of finding the correct route must be accumulated through usual field activities.For example: Usually develop the habit of referring to maps and compass at any time.At the same time, actively observe the surrounding terrain and plants around to judge the correct position.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.This is the most basic method of identifying direction.

It can also be measured by the stick shadow method. When the sun is enough to form a shadow, put a straight stick (more than 1 meter) on the flat ground, put a stone (or make other marks) on the top of the stick shadow, and the stick The shadow of will move as the sun moves. After 30-60 minutes, place another stone on top of the shadow of the stick again.

Then draw a straight line between the two stones, and in the middle of this line draw a straight line that intersects perpendicularly to it.Then step on the first mark point with your left foot and step on the second mark point with your right foot.At this time, the front of the standing person is due north, and the back is due south.The right hand is east and the left is west.

2. Use the stars to see the direction

1). Utilize Polaris

Polaris is located in the due north sky, and when observed, its height from the ground level is approximately equivalent to the local latitude.

When searching, it is usually determined according to the Big Dipper (that is, the Great Bear constellation) or the W star (that is, the Cassiopeia constellation).The Big Dipper is seven brighter stars, shaped like a spoon, extending from the head of the spoon to the mouth of the spoon in a straight line, about five times the distance between the stars A and B, and there is a slightly darker star.Namely Polaris.

When the earth rotates and the Big Dipper cannot be seen, the w star can be used to find it. The w star consists of five brighter stars shaped like a "w" letter.Extending in the direction of the w-shaped gap is about twice the width of the gap, which is the North Star.

2). Use the Southern Cross

In areas south of latitude 23°3o', the Southern Cross can sometimes be seen at night.It can also be used to tell directions.The Southern Cross consists of four brighter stars, shaped like the word "ten".Below and to the right of the Southern Cross.Along the line connecting two stars A and B extending down about four and a half times of the two stars (no visible star), it is due south.

3. Using ground objects to judge the orientation

Standing trees usually have lush foliage on the south side.The bark is smooth, and the branches on the north side are sparse and the bark is rough.The south side is usually lush with grass, and the north side is humid with moss.

For buildings and mounds, etc., the northern area has more snow and melts slowly, while the opposite is true for sunken places such as earth pits.

In China, if there is snow in the gully area, the side of the mountain that melts snow first will be the sunny slope (slope facing south), and the other side will be the opposite.

The doors and windows of the larger temples in northern China, the main entrances of pagodas in plain areas and independent houses in rural areas are mostly open to the south.

The satellite antennas in rural China are all facing south (artificial satellites on the earth are all close to the equator, and the satellite antenna can only find signals if they are facing the satellite, and most of China is north of the equator.)

Large rivers in China generally flow from west to east, and the direction can generally be determined roughly.

The northern edge of the forest clearing is denser with grass.The annual rings on the stump section are generally more spaced in the south and smaller in the north.

In the grasslands of northern China, there are more northwest winds in desert areas, and many snow dragons and salons are often formed near the grass. The head is large and the tail is small, and the direction of the head is northwest.

Most of the yurts on the grassland open to the south.

The pin is greased and placed in a puddle, with the point pointing north

The sunny side (that is, facing south) of a single tree has lush branches and leaves, while the shaded side (that is, facing north) has sparse branches and leaves.

In dense forests, the south side of the rock is drier, while the north side of the rock is wet and mossy.

The gums secreted by peach trees and pine trees are mostly in the south.

The annual rings of the stump are sparser in the south-facing half, and denser in the north-facing half.

The parts where snow is difficult to melt, such as ravines or rocks, are always in the north direction.

The ants' burrows are mostly in the south of the big tree, and the burrows face south.

Some natural villages are generally concentrated on the south side of the mountain, and most of the gates open to the south.Generally, buildings such as ancient temples, ancient pagodas, and ancestral halls face south.

If the stars can be seen in the sky at night, just find the Big Dipper and follow the extension line of the "spoon handle" to find the bright Polaris, and the direction of the Polaris is the direction of true north.

4. Using plant growth to determine orientation

As the saying goes: "All things grow by the sun". After mastering this feature, you can judge the direction by observation even on a cloudy day without the sun.

For example: large rocks and grass grow more vigorously in the south of the trunk of the tree.In autumn, the grass in the south also withers faster; the bark is generally smoother in the south and rougher in the north.Some trees have many cracks and bumps on the bark on the north side, which is especially obvious on birch trees;

Coniferous and fir trees have more gum in the south than in the north and tend to form larger pieces; many fruit trees facing south produce more fruit in autumn.Especially in apples, red dates, persimmons, citrus, etc., when the fruits are ripe, they face south and change color first; the moss growing on stones likes to be damp, and it is more prosperous in the north;

Most of the snow melts first on the south side; there will be a clear difference between the north and the south of the tree top (where the branches and leaves are luxuriant), the south side is very dense, and the north side is relatively sparse.

Generally, on shady slopes, that is, on the north side of the hill, the low ferns and vines are more developed than those on the sunny side.The grass is denser on the northern edge of the forest clearing.

The sunny side of a single plant has more foliage, and the shaded trunk to the north may grow moss.Standing trees usually have lush foliage on the south side.The bark is smooth; the northern leaves are sparse and the bark is rough.The south side is usually lush with grass, and the north side is humid with moss.

Clear annual rings can be seen on the trunk sections of many trees in northern my country.

"Chao Gang, the storm is getting smaller and smaller now. Is this because the power of the wind and rain talisman is about to disappear?" Liu Jingjing looked at the storm that was getting smaller and smaller, and asked such a question.

"Well, Jingjing. The calling wind and rain talisman is a very low-level existence in the talisman, so the power in the talisman is very limited. This storm has been falling for a full hour. Therefore, the power in the talisman is almost exhausted up.

Jingjing, take a look at your sea of ​​consciousness, is the talisman seed that represents the wind and rain talisman in your sea of ​​consciousness almost disappearing? "As for Liu Jingjing's question, Zhao Chaogang answered her in the affirmative.

"Hey, really, the talisman seeds in my sea of ​​consciousness were very bright before, but now they are gradually invisible." Liu Jingjing quickly saw the changes in her sea of ​​consciousness, and cast the wind and rain talisman on Liu Jingjing At that time, the talisman seed of the wind and rain talisman was clearly formed in her sea of ​​consciousness. At that time, Liu Jingjing was still directing this talisman seed to rain, but now the talisman seed has gradually disappeared.

"Chao Gang, the disappearance of the talisman seeds in my sea of ​​consciousness means that the talisman that summons wind and rain has failed, doesn't it?"

"Well, Jingjing is very smart, that's what it means." Zhao Chaogang smiled and answered Liu Jingjing: "Okay, Jingjing, Pingping, we have already felt the call of the wind and the rain, shall we go back first, and my daughter will be back soon If the time comes when Nannan can't find us and she starts to cry, it will be troublesome."

In order to release the Calling Wind and Rain Talisman without interruption with Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, Zhao Chaogang dismissed her, and Zhao Chaogang used his avatar to accompany her to play with those Chinese white dolphins in Dolphin Bay. There are Chinese white dolphins playing with her, she is so happy to leave!

Of course, there is no need to worry about being affected by the storm in Dolphin Bay. The entire Fairy Beach is covered by Zhao Chaogang's formation. Even if there are dozens of strong winds hanging outside Fairy Beach, there is still Dolphin Bay in Fairy Beach will not be affected.

As the master of the small world, it was too easy for Zhao Chaogang to do this!

"Well, it's almost eleven o'clock now. It's really time to go back. If Nannan can't see us when she goes back, she will really make a fuss. Chao Gang, let's go back!" Nannan is Li Liping's Achilles heel, so Zhao As soon as Chao Gang mentioned her daughter, Li Liping no longer refused to go back.

"Chao Gang, let's do things like this again in the future, okay?" Liu Jingjing was lying on Zhao Chaogang's body while acting like a baby to Zhao Chaogang. Things like calling the wind and calling the rain are really exciting, and Liu Jingjing is a bit addicted up.

"Okay, listen to Jingjing, we will come here to call the wind and rain in the future, Pingping, you too!" Liu Jingjing's request is very simple, and Zhao Chaogang has no difficulty in doing it, so Zhao Chaogang agreed very quickly. up.And in order not to treat one more favorably than another, he also made promises to Li Liping and Zhao Chaogang.

"Yeah, Chao Gang, you're so kind!" Liu Jingjing happily kissed Zhao Chaogang's face heavily.

"Hahaha...!" Zhao Chaogang's happy laughter came from the sky... (to be continued...)
