Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Chapter 1: The Call of Adventure

He Yuzhu sat in his study, surrounded by all kinds of expedition equipment and maps. His eyes fell on an old journal, a relic left by his grandfather. The journal recorded an unmarked island, which was said to hide endless secrets and treasures.

"Yuzhu, you are looking at those old things again." His wife Lin Fang walked into the study and looked at his focused expression with a hint of pampering in her eyes.

He Yuzhu looked up, his eyes twinkling, “Fang, these are not just old things, they are the key to an unknown world. I feel a calling is waiting for me.”

Lin Fang walked up to him and gently stroked his shoulder. "I know your heart is always far away. If you decide to go on an adventure, I will support you."

He Yuzhu held his wife's hand and nodded gratefully. He knew that no matter how far and dangerous his journey was, Lin Fang would always support him behind his back.

The next day, He Yuzhu gathered several of his old friends, and they sat in a corner of the cafe to discuss He Yuzhu's new plan.

"I plan to organize an expedition, the target is this legendary mysterious island." He Yuzhu spread out an ancient map on the table and pointed to an unmarked area.

Li Ming, He Yuzhu's college classmate and an experienced navigator, frowned and said, "This area has complex terrain and changeable climate, so exploration is not easy."

Zhang Wei, a scholar who loves history, has a twinkle of curiosity in her eyes. "But if the legend is true, then we will have uncovered a thousand-year-old mystery. This will be a historic discovery."

Zhou Jie, a young photographer, is full of enthusiasm for this expedition. “I can use my lens to record every moment of this journey. It will be an unforgettable experience.”

Zhao Ting, a professional wilderness survival instructor, is more practical. "We need to be fully prepared, including equipment, food, medical supplies, and detailed emergency plans."

He Yuzhu listened carefully to everyone's opinions. "You are all right. We will form a diverse team, each with their own expertise. We will face challenges together and share the results of this expedition."

In the following weeks, He Yuzhu and his team began intensive preparations. They collected information, studied routes, prepared equipment, and conducted physical training. Everyone was full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

On the day of departure, He Yuzhu stood in front of his home, carrying his bag, and looked back at the familiar streets and Lin Fang's figure. He knew that this journey would be full of unknowns and challenges, but he also knew that this would be the most exciting adventure in his life.

"Yuzhu, come back early." Lin Fang's voice was choked with sobs.

He Yuzhu smiled at her. “I will, Fang. When I bring back the story, we can share it together.”

As He Yuzhu and his team set out on their journey, their hearts were filled with curiosity about the unknown world and a love of adventure. They knew that the call of this adventure would lead them to an extraordinary journey.

Chapter 2: Building a Team

He Yuzhu knew that to explore the unknown sea and mysterious island, one person alone was not enough. He needed to form a professional expedition team, each member of which had unique skills and experience.

"We need an elite team, each member of which must have his or her own expertise," said He Yuzhu at the first preparatory meeting.

Zhang Wei, a historian with a passion for ancient civilizations, said, “I will be responsible for researching the historical background of the island and providing historical support for our expedition.”

Li Ming, a senior navigator, knows the sea area well. "I will be responsible for navigation and maritime safety to ensure our voyage goes smoothly."

Zhou Jie, a young photographer, is eager to capture rare scenes. "I will record our every step and tell our story with the lens."

Zhao Ting, a wilderness survival expert, is very familiar with survival skills in extreme environments. "I will be responsible for the team's survival training and emergency response."

He Yuzhu looked around at the team. "Each of you is the key to the success of our expedition. We all have the same goal, which is to uncover the secrets of the mysterious island."

In the following days, He Yuzhu began to recruit more professional talents. He posted recruitment information through various channels and soon received responses from many outstanding talents.

“Mr. He, I am very interested in your expedition plan,” a geologist named Chen Hao said during the interview. “I hope to contribute to the exploration of the geological structure of the island.”

He Yuzhu was impressed by Chen Hao’s background and experience. “We need your expertise, Chen Hao. Welcome to join our team.”

As the team continued to grow, He Yuzhu organized a team-building activity to enhance the tacit understanding and trust among team members.

"Exploration is not only a challenge to the unknown, but also a test of teamwork," said He Yuzhu during a team-building activity.

Zhang Wei shared her historical research on the mysterious island at the event. "According to the information I found, this island may have been the birthplace of an ancient civilization."

Li Ming shared his sailing experience, "At sea, we must learn to respect nature and be prepared to respond to emergencies at any time."

Zhou Jie showed his photography works, "I hope that through my lens, the world can see the feat of our expedition."

Zhao Ting taught basic survival skills during the training. "In the wild, we must learn to use the resources around us to ensure our survival."

As the expedition date approached, He Yuzhu convened a final preparation meeting. The team members sat together to discuss the final preparations.

"We have prepared everything and will set off tomorrow." He Yuzhu's voice was full of confidence and expectation.

Lin Fang, He Yuzhu's wife, was worried but also proud of him. "Yuzhu, I'll wait for you to return safely and bring back your discoveries and stories."

He Yuzhu held Lin Fang's hand tightly. "I will, Fang. On this expedition, I will bravely move forward with our love and support."

As night fell, He Yuzhu stood on the dock, looking at the ship that would carry them to unknown territory. He knew that this expedition would be a journey full of unknowns and challenges, but he also knew that he was not fighting alone. Behind him, there was a strong and united team.

Chapter 3: Setting sail

As the expedition team was formed, He Yuzhu stood on the dock, looking at the ship that would take them to the unknown. The ship, named "Explorer", was well-equipped and would be their home on the sea to the mysterious island.

"Our journey is about to begin, are you all ready?" He Yuzhu asked at the last meeting before sailing.

Zhang Wei checked her historical research materials. "I'm ready. I can't wait to see those historical sites with my own eyes."

Li Ming checked the navigation instruments. "The navigation system has been calibrated. We can set sail at any time."

Zhou Jie adjusted his camera equipment, "I can't wait to capture the wonderful moments of this journey."

Zhao Ting was checking the emergency medical kit and survival equipment. "All the necessities are ready. We are ready to go at any time."

Chen Hao, a newly joined geologist, is looking forward to the upcoming expedition. "I am very interested in the geological structure of the island and hope to make some significant discoveries."

He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. We will face unknown challenges together and share the results of this expedition."

As the order to sail was issued, the Explorer slowly left the dock and headed for the depths of the sea. With the sea breeze blowing on their faces, everyone on board was excited and nervous.

"Look, the land is no longer visible." Zhang Wei stood on the deck, looking at the coastline gradually disappearing from sight.

Li Ming was at the helm, "We have just started. The journey ahead will be longer and more challenging."

Zhou Jie recorded this moment with his camera. "This will be the beginning of our adventure story. I will record every important moment."

Zhao Ting checked everyone's equipment in the cabin. "It is crucial for us to ensure that everyone is familiar with their equipment and responsibilities."

As time went by, the expedition team gradually adapted to life at sea. They conducted physical training every day, learned sea survival skills, and prepared to meet unknown challenges.

"Mr. He, we are expected to enter unknown waters tomorrow. We need to be vigilant." Li Ming recorded in the logbook.

He Yuzhu nodded, "Okay, notify all team members and be prepared to deal with emergencies."

Zhang Wei is studying maps and ancient documents. "Based on these materials, we should be able to find the location of the mysterious island soon."

Chen Hao is analyzing seawater samples. "The mineral composition in these samples is very special, which may mean that we are approaching a geologically active area."

A few days later, the expedition encountered its first real challenge. A sudden storm caused the Explorer to shake violently, and everyone had to stay at their post to ensure the safety of the ship and the team members.

"Everyone stay calm and respond according to our previous training!" He Yuzhu shouted in the wind and rain.

Zhao Ting made sure everyone was fastened in the cabin. "Don't panic. We will get through this storm safely."

After the storm, the expedition team finally saw the mysterious island they had dreamed of. The outline of the island was looming in the morning mist, full of mystery and unknown.

“We did it, we found it!” Zhang Wei shouted excitedly.

He Yuzhu stood at the bow, looking at the unknown land, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart. "This is just the beginning. The real adventure begins now."

As the Explorer slowly approached the island, the expedition team knew that they were about to embark on a new journey to uncover the secrets of this mysterious island.

Chapter 4: Discovery

As the Explorer slowly approaches the mysterious island, He Yuzhu and his team are filled with anticipation and curiosity. They are about to set foot on this unknown land and begin their journey of discovery.

"Are you all ready? We are about to land." He Yuzhu stood at the bow and announced loudly to the team.

Zhang Wei tightly grasped the historical document in her hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I can't wait to explore the historical secrets of this land."

Li Ming checked the navigation instruments to make sure everything was normal. "Our positioning system shows that the coordinates of the island are exactly the same as those described in ancient documents."

Zhou Jie carried a camera, ready to record every important moment, "This will be an unforgettable adventure, I want to make sure not to miss any details."

Zhao Ting was checking the equipment to make sure everyone was fully equipped. "Our equipment must be ready to deal with any situation we may encounter."

Chen Hao is curious about the geological structure of the island. "I hope to discover some unique geological phenomena here, which will be very helpful for us to understand the history of the earth."

The expedition team took a small boat and slowly approached the beach of the island. When their feet stepped on the land for the first time, a sense of excitement of exploration arose spontaneously.

"Look over there, the shapes and colors of those rocks are different from what we have seen before." Chen Hao pointed to a strange rocky area.

He Yuzhu carefully observed the surrounding environment. "We need to sample these rocks. This may be the key to understanding the geological history of the island."

Zhang Wei found some ancient pottery fragments on the beach. "These pottery fragments may be relics of ancient civilization. We need to collect them carefully and conduct research."

Li Ming is studying the topography of the island. "The topography here is very complex. We need to draw detailed maps for better exploration."

Zhou Jie recorded their findings with a camera. "These images will be shown to the world so that people can see the results of our expedition."

Zhao Ting was checking the physical condition of the team members. "In this unknown environment, our physical and mental state are very important."

As the expedition progressed, they discovered the remains of some ancient buildings hidden in the dense jungle, which were obviously part of a lost civilization.

"The style of these ruins does not match any civilization we know of. This may be a brand new discovery," said Zhang Wei while studying the ruins.

He Yuzhu stood in front of the ruins, his heart filled with awe. "These ruins bear witness to the splendor of an ancient civilization. We need to explore and protect them carefully."

The expedition team set up a temporary camp on the island and began their archaeological work. They discovered more relics and artifacts, and each discovery gave them a deeper understanding of the history of this mysterious island.

"Our discovery will rewrite history. An unknown ancient civilization is hidden on this island," He Yuzhu said at a team meeting.

Zhang Wei added, "Our work has just begun, and we need to continue exploring to uncover more secrets of this civilization."

As the expedition continued, He Yuzhu and his team realized that their discovery was not only an exploration of history, but also a profound understanding of human civilization. They knew that this expedition would become the most valuable experience of their lives.
