"We might as well walk along the river. Although there will be many detours, we will definitely end up at the beach instead of some strange place!"

Li Yingjie looked at the surrounding woods and sighed.

When moving around the shelter, they don't need to remember directions, just remember the path they have traveled before.

But now it's far away, it seems to be turning around in the woods, and the sun is almost behind them!

"Why don't we go back the same way? Anyway, we have marked the way!" Lin Xiaoying tentatively asked.

But after thinking about it, the two have been walking for so long!
Going back the same way now will waste a lot of time, not to mention, I still have to come back after I go back.

Li Yingjie was silent for a moment.

There is no need to go back, just re-correct the direction.

He thought about a way to identify the direction. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it is the same everywhere, but it is not the time of sunrise and sunset, so the direction of the sun is not easy to judge.

The plants are generally sunny, and the branches and leaves facing the south are generally more lush.

Li Yingjie looked at the bare trees around him, and felt that this method was not easy to use, it was useless at all.

After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered the time displayed by the system.

Open the system panel and see that the system time is 11:06.

"There is a way!" Li Yingjie said, found a rock on the ground, and drew a rough watch shape on it with a multi-function knife.

When there is no way to tell the direction in the wild, you can use a watch. Of course, if it is a watch with pointers, the electronic watch is not easy to use.

Now, Li Yingjie can see the system time, and the display method is the same as that of an electronic watch, so he can only draw the pointer.

Orientation is determined by the pointer.

The specific method is as follows: use the 24-hour time system to read the time, and divide the current time by 2 to get the time point, then lift the watch up so that the time point, the position of the eyes and the sun are in a straight line, At this time, the position of 12:00 is the south.

现在时间是11:06,除以2就是5:33。

Li Yingjie carved out the pointer on the watch as precisely as possible, and then compared it with the sun——

"This is due south, let's go here!" He immediately pointed out the direction.

Lin Xiaoying was suddenly surprised, "How did you see that?"

Even if you draw a watch, you only need the approximate time. How can you tell the time?
I heard Li Yingjie explain: "It's very simple, first look at the sun to determine the approximate time, and then use the watch to locate the direction of due south, and then we will know the southeast direction we are going to."

Li Yingjie shook the stone watch in his hand, and was about to move on.

"Hey, don't worry, how do you determine the approximate time by looking at the sun?"

Lin Xiaoying held him back.

She has indeed heard of this method of determining the approximate time by looking at the sun, but according to Lin Xiaoying's understanding, this method is to calculate the time based on the approximate direction of the sun.

But the problem now is that they don't know the direction at all.

The logic here becomes a paradox:

How to judge the direction?Judging by the time and the angle of the sun.

Then how to judge the time?Judging by the direction and the position of the sun.

What if you don't know the direction?Judge the direction by the angle of time and the sun!
What if you don't know the time?Judge the time by the direction and the position of the sun!
** Absolutely!

Lin Xiaoying pulled Li Yingjie, wanting him to explain clearly.

But how could Li Yingjie explain it clearly? Knowing that time is the ability of the system after all, there is no way to explain it, so he casually said:
"I'll teach you later, go to the beach now, if you can get there in one day, try to get there today!"

Without a word, the two continued to move forward.

Along the way, Li Yingjie kept correcting their direction, making sure to keep heading southeast, the direction closest to the sea.

At noon, they did not stop to eat, but kept on going.

Although the strength and speed of the two have been strengthened, Lin Xiaoying is still far behind Li Yingjie after all.

Li Yingjie originally planned to carry her on his back, but after thinking about it, it shouldn't be raining here, so he walked slowly.

According to their speed, they can walk about fifty kilometers a day.

Until the sun set to the west, the two still did not find any trace of the sea, without any warning.

Li Yingjie felt that they should be far away, otherwise they should be able to find something.

Therefore, the two decided to camp here temporarily and continue their journey tomorrow.

Li Yingjie opened the system panel and took a look. The system time was 17:25, and it was about an hour before the sky completely darkened.

Li Yingjie cut some wood around, picked up some branches, and quickly built a simple shelter on the ground, and then the two put sleeping bags in it.

The shelter was built on the ground, so it was certainly not as safe as a tree. The two lit a fire in front of the shelter.

They found a small river nearby, brought some water to a boil and drank it, and then the two grilled some meat.

When sleeping at night, the roar of wild animals could be heard here. Li Yingjie wanted to go hunting several times, but thinking that this behavior was really anti-human, so he endured it.

There were no wild animals to provoke them that night. Li Yingjie woke up many times during the night and got up to add fuel to the fire. Perhaps it was the effect of the fire, and he was very peaceful all night.

In the morning, Lin Xiaoying got up to cook and asked Li Yingjie to sleep for a while.

Li Yingjie is very energetic, and now four or five hours of sleep a night is enough.

But he didn't take Lin Xiaoying's kindness to heart either, he was indeed the one who kept looking after the fire at night, so he just lay down in this crude shelter built at random with his eyes closed and rested.

Fortunately, they had sleeping bags, otherwise they would have been shivering in the cold at night if they lay in this place overnight.

Soon, Lin Xiaoying prepared food outside, and after the two ate some, they continued with today's itinerary.

While recording along the way, while correcting the direction, until the morning, the two suddenly found that the surrounding trees had changed.

The original place was a poplar tree, but it suddenly turned into a common plant by the sea—mangrove.

Mangroves generally grow in shallow sea salt flats with calm waves and soft silt or swamps in bays, and are often used as a tree species for coastal protection forests.

Compared with Populus euphratica, this kind of tree should appear on the edge of the island, without such a big sense of disobedience.

Li Yingjie took a closer look and found that the roots of the trees in front of him had been soaked by sea water, and he immediately became happy.

"The sea water should not be far from here!" He excitedly said to Lin Xiaoying.

The two quickened their pace and walked forward for more than ten minutes before they heard the sound of waves ahead.

The soil on the ground also began to loosen.

"Look, is there a coconut tree!" Lin Xiaoying said, pointing to the front.

The two went over and saw that it was indeed a coconut tree, but now that it is winter, there are no coconuts on the tree.

A little further on, they heard the sound of waves.

And at this moment, in front of the tree shelter of Li Yingjie and Lin Xiaoying, two people staggered over.

One of them saw Li Yingjie's shelter and said in surprise: "See て, ここに家がある!" (Look, there is a house here!)

Another person was also surprised and said: "Unbelievable, な木の上の家だ!" (Unbelievable, it's a house on a tree!)
