    "There is an island ahead. I see the island. Captain, I see the island!" A voice of surprise sounded from the lifeboat. Xuchang and Ling Tie turned directly to look in the direction of the sound.  "Captain, look, it's on our right, the island, the island!" This team member's voice was a little incoherent, which showed how strong the joy in his heart was.  "It's really an island, Xuchang, we have found the island, we are safe!" Ling Tie has also discovered traces of the island at this time. Although the island in the distance is still just a dark coastline, Ling Tie's powerful eyesight has already  It can be confirmed that the coastline is the island.  "Huh, it's finally safe!" Xuchang let out a long breath, and the worries in his heart were completely let go. From yesterday when he fell into the sea to now, Xuchang has been thinking about this all the time.  Although Xuchang has had such experience three times, the power of the storm is really too strong, and the lifeboat under them is too shabby. If there is even the slightest mistake, Xuchang and the others will be destroyed.  Therefore, in fact, Xuchang has always mentioned it in his heart, and it is not as meaningless as he appears on the outside.  "Brother Ling, let's get closer now?" Xuchang asked Ling Tie. He didn't want to stay on the sea anymore. There was an island, and Xuchang definitely didn't want to stay on any lifeboat anymore.  "Well, Xuchang, let's move closer. This lifeboat is too dangerous. It's safer for us to go to the island first." Ling Tie directly agreed to Xuchang's suggestion and prepared to go to the island.  "But, Xuchang, there won't be any danger on such an island, right?" Ling Tie was very careful, although he wanted to go to the island right away.  However, safety is still the first thing he needs to consider.  "Don't worry, Brother Ling. There won't be anything dangerous on such an island. This island is actually not big. It's estimated to be only a dozen kilometers in size. There won't be anything dangerous on such a small island.  Even if they are wild beasts, they would not like to live on such a small island. At most, such a small island can be a temporary habitat for some flying beasts or birds.  There are too few things, even the Thunderstorm Gulls before would not choose to live on this small island." Xuchang answered Ling Tie with a confident face. Xuchang didn't care at all about the dangers on this island. According to this.  Xuchang¡¯s experience is that there will be no large creatures on such a small island, because there will not be enough food on such a small island.  And without enough food, how could those large beasts live here?  At most, there are some birds and snakes on this island, but there will be nothing else.  "That's good. Our current situation is not very good. We have been fighting against the huge waves with all our strength for such a long time. Therefore, everyone's energy and energy have been almost exhausted. If there is anything dangerous on the island,  "I really don't dare to go to the island now." What Ling Tie said is very true. They really don't have much strength now.  To know.  From about seven o'clock last night to eleven o'clock now, it has been a full sixteen hours. During these sixteen hours, Ling Tie and others did not get much rest. In fact, they were still fighting against the huge waves.  Fighting, it can be said that these sixteen hours of fighting have completely exhausted the energy and spirit of Ling Tie and the others. The main reason why Ling Tie and the others can persist in not falling is the expectation of life.  The idea of ????wanting to live has been lingering in Ling Tie's and the others' minds. Therefore, even though they have consumed too much energy, Ling Tie and the others have not completely collapsed yet.  However, just because Ling Tie and the others did not fall down before does not mean that Ling Tie and the others will not fall down now.  Before a person sees hope, his fighting spirit will be extremely strong, and he will not give up easily. However, once he sees hope, his fighting spirit will begin to weaken rapidly, and he will 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. However, if someone tells you that you have completed a 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.  "Haha, Brother Ling, you are so comprehensive in your consideration." Xuchang complimented Ling Tie, and then he drove the lifeboat to the island not far away: "Brother Ling, although there will be no such thing on such a small island,  There is something dangerous, but we'd better be on defense. God knows if there are some powerful beasts that have taken shelter on this small island to avoid this storm. Brother Ling, youSay yes?  " "Well, that's true.  " Ling Tie agreed with Xuchang's suggestion. Therefore, Ling Tie quickly stood up and loudly ordered: "Everyone, be prepared and check everything around you carefully. We are going to the island.  " "Yes, Captain!  "Everyone on the lifeboat answered Ling Tie seriously, and then everyone began to be alert. Maybe some people want to say, we are already here, there is no need to be so cautious, isn't this unnecessary!  In fact, these things are not unnecessary, but what you must do. Remember, the closer you are to success, the more careful you must be. This is actually the time when you are most dangerous.  This sentence comes from the Western Han Dynasty Liu Xiang's "Warring States Policy and Qin Policy Five Calls to the King of Qin": "The poem goes: 'A journey of a hundred miles is half ninety."  ¡¯ This is the end of the road.  ". Interpreted as walking a hundred miles, walking ninety miles is half way. It means that the closer something is to success, the more difficult it becomes, and the more serious it is to take it seriously. There is also an allusion to the saying "He who walks a hundred miles is half ninety miles away"  : It is said that the King of Qin relied on the strong strength and favorable terrain of the Qin State to successfully implement the "continuous and horizontal" policy of "diplomacy at a distance and attack at a close distance". In the past few years, the six countries have either been conquered or weakened. For this reason, the King of Qin has decided.  Gradually, he relaxed his efforts and left the political affairs to the Prime Minister, drinking and enjoying himself in the palace. One day, the guards reported to the King of Qin that an old man in his nineties had just arrived in the capital from a hundred miles away.  He wanted to go to the palace to see the King of Qin. The King of Qin met him personally and said, "Old man, you have just come from a far away place. It must be very hard on your way!"  The old man said: "Yes!"  The old minister set out from his hometown and traveled 90 miles for 10 days.  After walking for another 10 days and 10 miles, I finally arrived in the capital.  " King Qin smiled and said: "Old man, have you made a mistake in your calculation?  I walked 90 miles in the first 10 days, but why did I only walk 10 miles in the next 10 days?  "The old man replied: "In the first 10 days, I was on my way and tried my best.  After walking ninety miles, I felt really tired, so I had to wait for the remaining ten miles.  It seemed that the walk was getting longer and longer, and each step required a lot of effort, so it took 10 days to reach Xianyang.  Looking back, I thought about the ninety miles ahead.  It can only be considered half of the journey.  " King Qin nodded and said, "The old man has traveled all the way to see me, but what do you have to say to me?  The old man replied: "I just want to tell the king the principle of walking."  Our great cause of Qin's unification is about to be completed.  Just like the old minister has walked ninety miles of a hundred miles.  However, I hope that the king will regard past success as only half of his career, and the other half requires more efforts to complete.  If you slack off now.  Then the road ahead will be particularly difficult, and you may even give up halfway.  Can't reach the end!  " King Qin thanked the old man for his advice and did not dare to slack off anymore. Instead, he devoted all his energy to the great cause of unifying the six countries. " Ninety miles away from a hundred miles can only be regarded as half of the journey. It is a metaphor for crossing the country.  When you are close to success, you must not relax and persevere to the end to win the final victory. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ma Yuan, who fought for Liu Xiu in the southern and northern wars, made outstanding achievements and made great military achievements.  "On the first ride, I will meet the nine ministers." Being treated with such courtesy by the emperor, the lintel of General Fubo's house was naturally illuminated, and the whole house was glorious. It can be imagined how proud the children of their family must be in Luoyang City.  If you just stop being proud, that's fine. If you don't know how to behave, you will be arrogant. If you are too arrogant, you will be arrogant. If you don't know how to control it, you will cause trouble and bring trouble to your family throughout the ages.  Of course there are many good officials and young people from wealthy aristocrats, 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 Jiaozhi, but he was not satisfied with it.  All the happenings in the capital were under his watch, including who the two young nephews were interacting with in Luoyang, where they were eating, drinking and having fun, and what they were talking about. It seemed that he knew everything.  His intelligence system is very efficient and his intelligence is very wide. Although he is a professional soldier, he has a strong political awareness. He is worried that the stupidity of his younger generation will ruin his reputation and ruin the reputation of the Ma family.  So I wrote this letter to my two good nephews: "I want you to hear people's faults just like hearing the names of your parents. You can hear them with your ears, but you can't speak them with your mouth.  I am fond of judging people's merits and delusions of right and wrong. This is the greatest evil I do. I would rather die than hear that my descendants would do this.  " He also warned them that in addition to not talking nonsense and making irresponsible remarks, they should also have a choice in what kind of friends they make. "Long Bo is honest, honest and cautious, speaks without choice, is modest and thrifty, is honest and has authority.  ?I hope you will follow suit.  Du Jiliang is a heroic hero who loves justice, worries about others' worries, enjoys others' happiness, and loses nothing.  When my father is mourning, I have visited several counties. I don't want you to follow Cao's example.  It is said that the person who cannot achieve the goal of carving a bird is still a person who is like a bird.  If you don't follow Ji Liang's example, you will become a frivolous person in the world. It is said that if you can't draw a tiger, you will be like a dog.  " Long Bogao and Du Jiliang are obviously active members in the young people's circle in Luoyang. Naturally, they are also friends of Ma Yuan's nephews Ma Yan and Ma Dun. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" says that the two brothers in Ma Mansion: "Bingxi ridiculed them.  The details of the situation have not been explained and I dare not make any assumptions. However, judging from a case that occurred later, these young people, including Liang Song, Dou Gu and other authentic relatives of the emperor, must have relied on their power to favor them.  , indulged in peace and contentment, and did not live up to his words. He was probably resented by ordinary cadres and ordinary people. When Ma Yuan's "Book of Commandments to Sons and Nephews" was sent to Luoyang, he was immediately caught and made a fuss.  I sued that Du Jiliang, saying that he "acted superficially and confused the masses."  General Fubo returned the letter thousands of miles away to warn his brother and son, and Liang Song and Dou Gu became friends with him.  He will slap his frivolity and hypocrisy, and bring chaos to all the Xia.  " These two noble gentlemen were much better than Ma Yan and Ma Dun. They had no choice but to kowtow desperately on the stone steps of the palace and beg for mercy. It was not until the melon seeds on their heads were smashed out and blood was drawn that Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty showed mercy and spared them.  Punishment, let them go. "I guess they will blame the Ma brothers after they come out, seeing that your uncle has done something good, and Ma Yan and Ma Dun will be involved in the case if there is no such thing as the letter from the family."  Here, Liu Xiu was afraid that he would not be punished lightly. Although Ma Yuan's letter saved his nephew from disaster, the strange thing is that this old man who taught others to be careful in their words and deeds, and to be disciplined in their own conduct, ended up being punished.  The bad thing is that he himself criticized: "I like to talk about people's rights and wrongs, and it is not the right thing to do." "The Book of the Later Han" makes a summary at the end of his biography, which is actually for him.  He sighed: ¡°However, it is wise to avoid disasters caused by others, but it cannot avoid slander.  It¡¯s not the occasion of fame.  Is it true?  If the benefit is not with you, you will be wise when you use it to plan things; if you are not selfish when you are confused, you will be severe in judging justice.  "These words are worth pondering for each of us. "Return aid to the capital."  He is able to see many people, and he is adept at making mistakes.  He is especially good at recounting his past life actions.  Every time I talk about the elders of the three assistants, down to the young people in Luli.  Everyone can listen, from the crown prince to all the kings who are listening, all of them will be tired of listening.  He was also good at military strategy. The emperor once said: "It agrees with me to discuss military affairs."  "Every time I have a plan, I don't use it"; "He is a man with clear beard and hair, and picturesque eyebrows". His demeanor is extraordinary, his general's aura and majesty are still the same. Even Liu Xiu couldn't help but admire: "You are so handsome, you are a man." I don't know.  Did this honor, respect, kindness, and praise have the anesthetic effect of alcohol, making Old General Ma dizzy? Or was it because his memory had weakened as he got older, and he had long forgotten what he had so earnestly warned others?  Criticism? "One time, he went on an expedition, and all the civil and military officials blocked the way to pay a farewell visit. This was the emperor's favor to you, so you can just enjoy your glory. Is there any need to reprimand Liang Song and Dou Gu in public?"  He stopped his horse and taught the two of them: "Everyone who is noble should be humble, just like the nobles who want to be humble again. They stay high and hold on to themselves, and think about contemptuous words."  ¡± These words, put directly in the language of the common people, are: No matter how high you climb, you may fall. If you want to avoid falling and breaking your head, you have to take care of yourself. Of course, this is not wrong, and I believe this old man  The general was absolutely well-intentioned, but if he said it in such a grand and solemn ceremony, it would definitely have the effect of public humiliation. Another time, when he was ill, Liang Song came to visit him.  After Song left, the disciples asked: "The son-in-law of Emperor Liang Bosun is very important to the court, and everyone below the minister is afraid of him. How can you not be polite?"  ¡¯ Yuan said: ¡®I am Song¡¯s father¡¯s 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 decapitated, died without a burial place, and ended up with a very tragic end. Of course, it is not that villains cannot be offended. As a soldier, even  It is really unreasonable to ignore the basic strategies and tactics and launch an attack blindly. If you are not killed by the snake, you will be bitten by the snake. It is really unreasonable. Chen Liang of the Song Dynasty talked about Deng Yu in "Ziu Gu Lun II".  The ending of Ma Yuan is the most appropriate. "There is a saying: 'A man who travels a hundred miles is half as good as ninety.' It is an old wise man who has tried his best to achieve success.  ¡± Therefore, to paraphrase the words of a great man, it is not difficult for a person to stay awake, but it is difficult to stay awake for a lifetime. For the elderly, this can also be regarded as a motto worth learning. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Bang!  ¡±?A very slight collision sounded, and then, a tattered lifeboat that was only tied with ropes to barely maintain the shape of a ship docked on the beach. Once the lifeboat docked on the beach, Xuchang and Ling Tie  These people all climbed out of the boat as quickly as possible, threw themselves directly on the beach, and exhaled loudly.  "Huh, Huh!" Such exhalations kept coming and going on the beach.  "Hahahaha!" Before the sound of breathing could stop, soon, a burst of joyous laughter came from the beach. These laughters were full of the joy of escaping from death.  "Hahaha, we finally landed safely. Such a big storm couldn't keep us in the sea. God has blessed us!" Ling Tie shouted loudly with joy. The feeling of escaping from death was really amazing.  Very good.  "Hahaha. Yes, Brother Ling. Being able to escape death this time is really a blessing from God!" Xuchang replied while breathing heavily.  For being able to land safely this time, Xuchang also believed that this was God's blessing.  "Ouch!" As soon as Xuchang finished speaking, he let out a cry of pain.  "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong with Xuchang?" Ling Tie jumped up nervously.  "Haha, it's nothing, Brother Ling, don't be nervous, I was just pinched by a crab on the beach. Ouch, it hurts, it hurts!" Seeing that Ling Tie had misunderstood, Xuchang quickly explained, but maybe, maybe  Xuchang was very popular with the crab. Before he could finish his reply, Xuchang's butt was clamped by the crab again. The painful Xuchang started to cry out in pain again.  "Hahahaha!" Ling Tie and the others laughed "Everyone, get up. It's not the time for us to rest yet." After five minutes, Ling Tie stood up with great perseverance.  Get up and call the team members lying on the beach to get up.  "We have just landed now, and we don't know what the situation is like on this island. We also don't know if there are dangerous things on it, so for the sake of safety, we have to check the specific situation of this island first. Everyone, act quickly  ! "Ling Tie is a practical person, and he doesn't like to procrastinate in doing things.  Whatever happens, Ling Tie will do it immediately.  Then take a rest or something.  "Yes, captain!" Ling Tie's answer was weak. The team members were too tired.  However, these team members also knew that what Ling Tie said was correct. Therefore, no matter how tired they felt, these team members quickly got up and started to gather.  "Very good, everyone's fighting spirit is still very high, so I feel relieved!" The team members were a bit slow to get up, but this is also an excusable thing. No matter who has been fighting the huge waves for sixteen  After an hour, it will look like this.  "Now I will assign tasks." Ling Tie stood in front of the team members and began to issue orders: "The first team will go to the east and carefully check the situation on the east side of the island, the second team will go to the west, and the third team will go to the north  , the fourth team went to the south, and the remaining people started to collect food, do you understand? "Ling Tie was very resolute in doing things and gave the order quickly.  "I understand, 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 to check the surroundings of the island.  "Brother Ling, they all have things to do, so I" Xuchang stepped forward and asked Ling Te. Until now, Ling Tie had not arranged anything for Xuchang.  "Xuchang, let us do these things. You should rest now. You have been driving the boat from yesterday to now. 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 Xuchang with a gentle look, Ling Tie was not prepared to check the situation on the island and collect food.  Let Xuchang do it not only because Xuchang was too tired before, but also because Xuchang was 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 dangerous matters be left to ordinary people like Xuchang?  If such dangerous matters were not left to ordinary people like Xuchang, then what would soldiers like Ling Tie do? What's more, Xuchang was a protected target when he came out to look for gold mines this time, so he checked the situation on the island and collected food.  , where would Ling Tie arrange for Xuchang to do it.  Of course, Ling Tie will not tell these reasons, so in order to make XuchangAn Xin, Ling Tie directly used the excuse that Xuchang would sail a boat in the future to deal with Xuchang, so that Xuchang could rest peacefully.  The results showed that Ling Tie's excuse was indeed very effective. After hearing this reason from Ling Tie, Xuchang didn't say anything more about checking the island and collecting food. He sat down and rested honestly.  An hour later, the four teams sent by Ling Tie began to come back one after another. The four teams came back in good condition, with no traces of fighting on their bodies. Obviously, this island is just like what Xuchang said.  , there is no danger.  "Everyone is back safely. It seems that this island is very safe." Ling Tie nodded, very satisfied with the result: "Xuchang. Can you confirm where we are now?" "Brother Ling,  Sorry. I can't confirm this. We have lost our way many times at sea, so I can't remember where we are now." Xuchang answered Ling Tie very embarrassed.  "That's it!" Xuchang's answer did not exceed Ling Tie's expectations, so he did not feel frustrated at all: "So Xuchang, can you identify the direction based on the stars in the sky?" "You can, but Brother Ling  , This has to be done at night." Xuchang answered Ling Tie confidently, identifying the direction based on the position of the stars in the sky.  This is not difficult at all for people like Xuchang who are fishermen of this generation.  "That's good, that's good. In this case, we can save ourselves!" After receiving Xuchang's affirmative answer, the big stone in Ling Tiexin was finally put down. As long as they can identify the direction, they can go back sooner or later.  .  Now it seems that Ling Tie and the others can't go back because they don't have a strong ship.  However, although this island is small, there are still many trees. These trees are enough for Ling Tie and the others to build a raft.  But with the raft and knowing the direction, going back is no longer a dream.  "Brother Ling. Are you thinking of a way to go home?" Xuchang quickly understood the reason why Ling Tie asked him. Ling Tie was thinking of a way to go home.  "Well. We are out looking for gold mines this time. I believe you understand the importance of gold mines in Xuchang. Therefore, we have to go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the gold mine is found by others first, then we will be sinners.  "Ling Tie replied to Xuchang with a heavy face. As the person in charge of this operation, Ling Tie knew the importance of the gold mine. It can be said that even if they were all wiped out, they would still have to find the gold mine.  The gold mine is the guarantee for the future strength of the warrior army.  "Brother Ling, don't worry, I will do my best to take everyone back." Xuchang directly stated his position without saying anything more.  "Xuchang" Ling Tie was very excited. He shook Xuchang's right hand tightly, and then said forcefully: "Thank you! Xuchang!" When in the wild, once you get lost, the consequences will be extremely serious.  It's serious. At this time, you have to know how to identify the direction.  If you get lost in the wild, you must be calm, ensure that your thinking and actions are not chaotic, and ensure 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 topographic maps, compasses and other equipment, you must learn to use some characteristics of nature to determine the direction. One is to use tools, and the other is to use natural features.  Use a watch to check the direction: On a clear day, you can easily know the east and west based on the sunrise and sunset, and you can also determine the direction, but it can only be a rough estimate. There are several more accurate measurement methods as follows: Watch  For direction finding, "half the hour points to the sun, and 12 points to the north." Generally, the direction can be quickly identified between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., and the direction pointed to by half the time points to the sun, and 12 o'clock marks the direction.  It means north. For example, half of the time at 14:40 in the afternoon is 7:20. If you point the hour hand towards the sun, then 12 points to the north. Or if you place the watch horizontally and the hour hand points to the sun, the hour hand will bisect the 12 o'clock scale.  The direction of reverse extension is north; Or place the watch, stand a small stick vertically in the center of the watch and rotate the watch so that the shadow of the stick coincides with the hour hand. The bisector between the hour and the 12 o'clock scale is north.  The earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so 1 hour is 15 degrees, and the watch rotates 360 degrees in 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 hour hand 6 on the dial points to the sun, 12 on the dial will point to the west. If the dial is turned 90 degrees, that is, dividing 6 by 2 into 3, then 3 will point to the sun, and 12 will point to the west.  North; also at 12 noon, the sun is in the south. Divide 12 by 2 into 6, then 6 points to the sun, and 12 points to the north.  The disadvantage of determining the direction according to this method is that it is best to considerThe local time difference is taken into account to avoid deviations in the position, but it can be used as a simple judgment of the approximate position.  It must be noted that: (1) When determining the direction, the watch should be placed flat; (2) It should not be used around noon in the area between 20¡ã30¡ä south and 30¡ä north latitude, that is, the longitude of standard time shall prevail.  Every 15¡ã eastward adds 1 hour, and every 15¡ã westward decreases 1 hour.  Using natural features to identify directions 1. The skill of using the sun to find the correct route must be accumulated through daily outdoor activities.  For example: Develop the habit of referring to maps and compasses at any time.  At the same time, actively observe the surrounding terrain and plants around you to determine the correct location.  The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.  This is the most basic way to identify direction.  You can also use the stick shadow method to measure. When the sun is enough to form a shadow, erect a straight stick (more than 1 meter) on the flat ground, put a stone (or make other marks) on the top of the stick's shadow, and the stick  The shadow will move with the movement of the sun.  After 30 to 60 minutes, place another stone on top of the shadow of the stick again.  Then draw a straight line between the two stones, and draw a straight line in the middle of the line that intersects it perpendicularly.  Then step on the first marked point with your left foot and the second marked 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 hand is west.  2. Use the stars to see the direction 1) Use Polaris Polaris is located in the sky in the true north. When observing, its height from the ground level is approximately equivalent to the local latitude.  When searching, it is usually determined based on the Big Dipper (i.e. Ursa Major) or W star (i.e. Cassiopeia).  The Big Dipper is seven relatively bright stars, shaped like a spoon. A straight line connecting stars A and B at the top of the spoon extends towards the mouth of the spoon. There is a slightly dimmer star about five times the distance between stars A and B.  That is the North Star.  When the earth rotates and the Big Dipper cannot be seen, you can use the W star to find them.  The w star consists of five brighter stars and is shaped like a "w" letter.  Extending in the direction of the W-shaped gap, which is approximately twice the width of the gap, is the North Star.  2) Using the Southern Cross In areas south of 23¡ã3o¡¯ north latitude, the Southern Cross can sometimes be seen at night.  It can also be used to identify directions.  The Southern Cross is composed of four brighter stars, shaped like a "ten".  To the lower right of the Southern Cross.  Extending downward along the line connecting the two stars A and B about four and a half times as long as the two stars (no visible star), is due south.  3. Large trees that use ground objects to determine their orientation usually have lush branches and leaves in the south.  The bark is smooth, with sparse branches on the north side and rough bark.  Its south side is usually covered with lush grass, while its north side is humid and covered with moss.  Buildings and mounds, etc., where the snow in the north melts slowly, the opposite is true for sunken places such as pits.  In China, if there is snow in the valley area, the side of the mountain where the snow melts first is the sunny slope (south-facing slope), and the other side is the opposite.  The larger temples in northern China, the main entrances of pagodas in plain areas and the doors and windows of rural houses mostly open to the south.  Satellite antennas in rural China all face south (the earth's artificial satellites are all close to the equator, and satellite antennas must face the satellites to detect signals, and most of China is north of the equator.) China's big rivers generally flow from west to east, and generally can roughly  Determine direction.  The grass is denser at the northern edge of the clearing in the forest.  The annual rings on the cross section of a tree stump are generally larger in the south and smaller in the north.  In the grasslands of northern China, there are more northwest winds in desert areas. Many snow dragons, like dragons, are often formed near the grass. Their heads are large and their tails are small. The direction of their heads is northwest.  The doors of yurts on the grassland mostly open to the south.  Dip a pin in grease and place it in a puddle, with the tip pointing north. The sunny side of a single tree (i.e. facing south) has lush branches and leaves, while the shady side (i.e. facing north) has sparse branches and leaves.  In the dense forest, the south side of the rock is drier, while the north side of the rock is wetter and covered with moss.  Peach trees and pine trees secrete more gum in the south.  The growth rings of the tree stump are sparse in the south-facing half, and dense in the north-facing half.  The places where snow accumulates in ravines or rocks and is difficult to melt are always facing north.  Ant caves are mostly on the south side of big trees, and the cave entrance faces south.  Some natural villages are generally concentrated on the south side of the mountain, and most of their gates open towards the south.  Generally, buildings such as ancient temples, ancient pagodas, and ancestral halls face north and south.  If the stars are visible in the night sky, as long as you find the Big Dipper, you can find the bright Polar Star along the extension line of the "spoon handle". The direction of Polar Star is the direction of true north.  4. Use plant growth to determine the direction. As the saying goes: "All things are"Grows by the sun". After mastering this characteristic, you can judge the direction by observation even on cloudy days without the sun. For example: grass grows more vigorously on the south side of large rocks and tree trunks. In autumn, the grass on the south side also withers. Faster; the bark is generally smoother on the south side and rougher on the north side. Some trees have many cracks and knots on the bark on the north side. This phenomenon is particularly obvious on birch trees; the trunks of conifers, cypresses and fir trees There is more gum flowing out from the south side than the north side and it is easy to form larger lumps; in autumn, many fruit trees facing south bear more fruits, especially apples, red dates, persimmons, citrus, etc., even when the fruits are ripe. The south-facing side changes color first; moss growing on stones likes dampness and thrives on the north side; snow mostly melts on the south-facing side first; there will be obvious differences between the north and south of tree heads (places with lush branches and leaves). , it is very dense towards the south and sparse towards the north. Generally, on the shady slope, that is, on the north side, low ferns and vines are more developed than on the sunny side, and the grass is denser on the northern edge of the forest. The branches and leaves are more lush on the sunny side, and moss may grow on the shady trunks to the north. The branches and leaves on the south side are usually smooth, and the leaves are sparse and the bark is rough on the south side, and the grass is usually lush on the north side. There is moss. The cross-sections of many tree trunks in northern my country can be seen with clear annual rings. The annual rings are sparse on the south side, while the annual rings on the north side are denser. Generally, the annual rings are widely spaced on the south side. , the distance is small in the north. If you get lost on a cloudy day, you can get your bearings by looking at the growth of moss on trees or stones. In the northern hemisphere, the side with the thickest leaves is the south. The wider side and the mossy side is the north. ¡­ ¡°Chao Gang, the storm is getting smaller and smaller now.  Is this because the power of the wind-calling and rain-calling talisman is about to disappear?  "Liu Jingjing looked at the storm that was getting smaller and smaller and asked this question. "Well, Jingjing.  The wind-calling and rain-calling talisman is a very low-level existence in the talisman, so.  The power inside the talisman is very limited, and the storm has been falling for a full hour.  Therefore, the power in the talisman is almost exhausted.  Jingjing, look at your sea of ??consciousness. Are the talisman seeds in your sea of ??consciousness that represent the talisman of calling for wind and rain almost disappearing?  "In response to Liu Jingjing's question, Zhao Chaogang answered her affirmatively. "Hey, it's true. The talisman seeds in my sea of ??consciousness were very bright before, but now they are gradually invisible.  "Liu Jingjing quickly saw clearly the changes in her sea of ??consciousness. When Liu Jingjing used the wind-calling and rain-calling talisman, the seeds of the wind-calling and rain-calling talisman were clearly formed in her sea of ??consciousness. At that time, Liu Jingjing was still commanding  It was raining with this talisman seed, and now this talisman seed has gradually disappeared. ¡°Chao Gang, the disappearance of the talisman seed in my sea of ??consciousness means that the wind-calling rain talisman has failed, right?  " "Well, Jingjing is very smart, that's what I mean.  Zhao Chaogang smiled and answered Liu Jingjing: "Okay, Jingjing, Pingping, we have already experienced the wind and rain. Should we go back now? Nannan will be back soon."  If Nannan can't find us and starts crying, that will be troublesome.  " In order to release the wind-calling talisman with Li Liping and Liu Jingjing without being disturbed, Nannan was pushed away by Zhao Chaogang. Zhao Chaogang used his avatar to accompany Nannan to play with the Chinese white dolphins in Dolphin Bay. With Zhao Chaogang by his side,  There are also Chinese white dolphins playing with Nannan. Nannan is very happy to miss Shu! Of course, there is no need to worry about being affected by the storm at Dolphin Bay. The entire Fairy Beach has been covered by Zhao Chaogang's formation, even the Fairy Beach.  There are dozens of strong winds outside, which will not affect Fairy Beach or the Dolphin Bay inside Fairy Beach. As the owner of the small world, it is too easy for Zhao Chaogang to do this. "Well, right now!  It's almost eleven o'clock, it's really time to go back. If Nannan can't see us when we go back, she will really make trouble. Chao Gang, let's go back!  "Nanny is Li Liping's Achilles' heel, so as soon as Zhao Chaogang mentioned her, Li Liping no longer refused to go back. "Chao Gang, we will have to do things like this again in the future, okay?  "Liu Jingjing lay on Zhao Chaogang's body while coquettishly acting like a baby to Zhao Chaogang. Such things as calling for wind and rain are really exciting. Liu Jingjing is a bit addicted. "Okay, listen to you Jingjing, we will come here to call for wind and rain in the future.  , Pingping, you too!  "Liu Jingjing's request is very simple, and it is not difficult for Zhao Chaogang to fulfill it.No, so Zhao Chaogang agreed easily.  And in order not to favor one against another, he also made the same commitment to Li Liping and Zhao Chaogang.  "Yeah, Chao Gang, you're so kind!" Liu Jingjing happily kissed Zhao Chaogang directly on the face.  "Hahaha!" Zhao Chaogang's happy laughter came from the sky (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! ps: Note: Thank you songying_sy for the big one  Monthly ticket support, thank you!
