little stutter

Although the starting time of each team is 1 minute apart, because the time required for each team to allocate maps is inconsistent, when starting from the sub-map area, the original order is no longer the same.There are a lot of participants. There are 28 classes in the junior high school group and the high school group, with 8 participants in each class, and a total of more than 200 people. It is a relatively large orienteering activity.

More people means more competition, but more people also have the advantage of more people, that is, more people search, and the probability of finding the checkpoint is higher. Generally, it is not necessary to rely entirely on personal strength to find it.

Considering safety, the competition area is set in the artificial forest at the entrance of the forest park. This is the place where people often come to camp.

The first checkpoint was quickly found. Chen Xin and the others didn't even take out the map to look at it, because a large group of people ran towards a very eye-catching big tree in front, and they followed closely. I saw a small colorful flag under the big tree, and the punch card was lying there.Everyone checked in one by one, and they all laughed and said it was too simple.

After Cheng Xin punched the card, he looked down at the map in his hand consciously, and said to his teammates: "Be careful, you can't trust the map completely, the dots may not exactly match the map."

Chen Xin asked in surprise: "Is there any difference or difference between the picture and the real thing?"

Cheng Xin chuckled: "According to my many years of experience, the map has never been able to completely match the real thing. Half depends on the map, and half depends on experience and luck."

Chen Xin was dumbfounded when she heard this. It was the first time for Wang Jieyu to participate in orienteering, so she said worriedly: "Then what should I do?"

Cheng Xin said: "Cold salad! You and Shu Liang are walking together. It's better to discuss it with someone than alone."

Shu Liang quickly said: "Aren't you together? The first few points are all the same." The first free point that Cheng Xin is going to is point 17, which is between point 5 and point 6.

Cheng Xin looked at her with wide eyes: "Are you kidding? If I am at the same speed as you, how can we catch up behind? So we are going to speed up now. If you can keep up, then follow. If you can't keep up, you can find it yourself." Now look at the second mark. There are some sparse small trees drawn on the map. It should be a small forest. Go northwest from this position. Okay, Chen Xin, let’s go. You two also hurry up. "After speaking, he took a big step and ran forward.

Chen Xin didn't hesitate. Although she wanted to bring the two girls along, the situation didn't allow it. They were still in the competition. Once they fell behind, it would drag down the team's performance.

Although the two girls followed closely, they were not as fast as the boys after all, and slowly trailed behind.Cheng Xin said to Chen Xin while running: "The terrain here is complicated, you should pay attention to safety."

Chen Xin replied, "Yes."

The second point is a bit more difficult. There is a small forest on the map, but there is no shadow of the small forest. After the two ran for a while, Cheng Xin yelled to stop, took out the map and compass, and held them up as horizontally as possible. After a while, he said, "We have overrun, the woods should be in the southeast of that telegraph pole."

It was only then that Chen Xin realized that orienteering must be done according to the map. It is best to find a reference and then make a judgment. Otherwise, in such a wide place, how can you find such a small point by blindly searching.The two turned to the southeast according to the direction of the compass. Here is a dense barrier-like forest. After passing through, there is a low forest. It really is a small forest. Some contestants have already searched for it. .

Chen Xin and Cheng Xin also hurriedly joined them, and finally found the checkpoint behind a half-sized rock.After Chen Xin punched out the card, she said, "Can she, the two of them find it?"

Cheng Xin took out a bottle of Pulse from his bag, unscrewed the cap and handed it to him: "Don't worry, it's not difficult, as long as you know how to look at the picture, you can find it. It's just a matter of time. Shu Liang has played it before."

Chen Xin didn't refuse either, and took a sip of it, and Cheng Xin gave him another piece of chocolate: "Replenish some energy, and you'll find the No. 3 point in a while, you have to find some yourself, you have to work hard." He said this There was a smile on his face, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

Chen Xin took a sip of water, looked at the chocolate, but didn't pick it up, and said, "I have something to eat."

Cheng Xin said: "I know, this replenishes energy quickly. You take it and put it in your bag. After a while, we should run separately. If everything goes well, we should be able to finish the run in an hour. You have to pay attention to safety."

Chen Xin took the chocolate, and Cheng Xin stuffed some beef jerky into his bag. Before he could refuse, he said, "Let's go, hurry up, we'll be late."

Chen Xin hurriedly chased after him, trying to refuse his snacks, but they didn't find a chance. They quickly found point 3, and the two of them studied the position of point 16 according to the map. After confirming, Cheng Xin squeezed Chen Xin's shoulder: "Okay, then you have to rely on yourself, you must pay attention to safety, come on! I'll wait for you at point 14."

Chen Xin nodded vigorously: "You, too, come on!"

After the game, the two parted in a hurry. Chen Xin held the map and compass alone, and was still a little excited. This time, he really played by himself.He took out the compass to confirm the direction, and then ran to the northwest. There was a small hill there, and there was a road repaired there.

Chen Xin kept trotting along the road, but she didn't dare to run too fast. After all, the race had just started, and it was an uphill road, so she had to save her energy.Some people passed by him one after another. They were all students wearing Risheng sportswear. Some people did not walk along the road, but turned into the woods beside the road. They probably took a shortcut. Chen Xin thought about it , still didn’t go with them, Cheng Xin shared his experience with him, so he had to trust his own judgment at this time, sometimes he would rather spend more time than follow blindly.

After walking for a while, Chen Xin stopped and took out the map and compass to check, and made sure that she had not deviated from the target route, so she felt relieved and continued to run.Going around the bend, Chen Xin finally found the reference object on the map, which is a signal tower. Point 16 is just under the signal tower, and someone has already clocked in there.This checkpoint is relatively far away, but the goal is extremely obvious, and it is obviously not set to embarrass the players.

After Chen Xin punched the card, he realized where the real embarrassment was for the players. From the map, he was now about 4 meters away from the No. 300 point he was going to. The road is through a roadless mountain forest, and it is about 3 meters to return to point 500 along the road, and the distance from point 3 to point 4 is about 250 meters, so most people should choose to go directly to point 4 through the forest, Chen Xin also chose the same way.

After Chen Xin entered the mountain forest, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. This mountain forest is also a man-made forest, but the slope is very steep. Even a child like him who grew up in the countryside must use his hands and feet to go up. After climbing more than 100 meters, I took out the map and the compass to look at it. I deviated from the direction, so I had to turn around and climb to the other side of the hillside. In this way, the physical strength and time spent were much more than expected. .

When he managed to climb up the hill and arrived at point 4, he found that the junior high school students were all clocking in. The junior students started ten minutes later than them. Chen Xin knew that he might be a little slow, so he hurried Seize the time to clock in and chase forward.

The next few points went relatively smoothly, including the No. 19 free point he was in charge of. Although there were some unreliable maps, fortunately, there were no major mistakes. He arrived at the No. 13 checkpoint smoothly. He knew that the two girls must have already passed by here, and Cheng Xin should be in the front. Xu Junshang's team started before them, and it should also be earlier than them.

After punching the card at point 13, he took out the map to determine the position of point 14, and set off for point 14.Just after running more than ten meters away, I saw a person in front of me dragging his right leg and staggeringly moving. Chen Xin couldn't help but take a second look, and found that it was Wang Jieyu from their team. Chen Xin was surprised and ran away Past: "You, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Jieyu turned her head and saw him, her eye circles turned red immediately, she forced a smile: "I accidentally stepped on a pit and sprained my foot."

Chen Xin quickly reached out to support her: "You, you sit down first." He helped Wang Jieyu sit down on the fallen leaves by the roadside, "Where is Shu, Liang?" Didn't the two girls walk together?

Wang Jieyu said, "She's leaving first."

Chen Xin frowned, how could Shu Liang be like this, this is a team competition, no matter how good she is alone, she won't be able to win the ranking, he looked down at Wang Jieyu's feet carefully, her ankles were swollen: " Does it hurt, does it hurt? Did you call, teacher?" Every student was issued an intercom. If they encounter difficulties and need help, they can directly call the teacher for support, but asking for support also means giving up the competition results.

"It hurts a little bit. There are still two points, I don't want to give up, I want to keep going. But I must be slowing everyone down, I'm sorry." Wang Jieyu apologized.

Chen Xin waved her hands vigorously: "Don't, don't say that, the most important thing is to participate. Let's go, I, I will help you."

Wang Jieyu said, "Thank you."

Chen Xin helped Wang Jieyu to go to the 14th point. He hoped that Cheng Xin had arrived at the 14th point first, so that he could go to the 20th point first without delaying the game.

Wang Jieyu's sprain was not serious at first, and she didn't take it seriously, but it became more and more serious.So now that Chen Xin was supporting her, she could only walk forward bit by bit with her right foot on the ground, the painful expression on her face did not ease at all.After walking a few steps, Chen Xin saw that this could not reduce the burden on her right foot, and that she was walking too slowly, so she gritted her teeth and made a decision: "Should I carry you? You, you I can’t walk anymore.” After saying this, Chen Xin’s face turned red first, but fortunately he had been exercising and sweated a lot, and his face was also red, so he couldn’t see him. shy.

Wang Jieyu looked at Chen Xin in surprise. Everyone was rushing to compete along the way. Occasionally, someone would ask her a few words of concern, but no one would stop to help her. Only Chen Xin stayed and said he would carry himself. Obviously he didn't look much taller than her, and was so thin, she shook her head quickly: "Don't, don't, you can't carry me, I'm too heavy." One hundred catties, she really didn't dare to let Chen Xin carry her on her back.

Chen Xin had already spoken, and could not take it back, so she took the initiative to squat down in front of Wang Jieyu.Wang Jieyu hesitated, and finally got on the floor under Chen Xin's urging.Chen Xin took a deep breath, and carried Wang Jieyu on her back. Normally, it would not be too difficult to carry a person who weighs about the same as her own, but he has already run nearly 5000 meters of orienteering, and it is a mountain road. No matter how good the physical strength is, it is a bit overwhelming, so it is extremely difficult to walk with the person on the back.

Wang Jieyu was lying on Chen Xin's thin and thin back, but she couldn't stop her tears. She and Chen Xin had never spoken a word, and they only met because they were in the same group in the competition, but he was so friendly , go out of your way to take care of yourself.

Chen Xin gritted her teeth and walked about 50 meters, then put Wang Jieyu down: "I, I will look at the map."

Wang Jieyu quickly wiped away her tears, pretending to be nonchalant: "Okay."

Chen Xin didn't notice Wang Jieyu's expression, so he took out a map and a compass to check, his temples were already sweating, he raised his sleeves to wipe off the sweat, and took a sip of water: "Okay , I, let's go."

Wang Jieyu said: "Why don't you forget it and help me go."

Chen Xin said: "You, your foot can't go, it will get worse. It's okay, it will be there soon."

Wang Jieyu had no choice but to lie on Chen Xin's back again, and Chen Xin continued to rush forward, this time walking about 50 meters, when he was unable to hold on, a man ran across and shouted: " Chen Xin!"

Chen Xin put Wang Jieyu down, looked up at Cheng Xin who was running towards him in a hurry, and was immediately overjoyed: "You, how did you come back?"

It was Cheng Xin who came. He made an appointment with Chen Xin to meet at point 14, but after waiting for a while, Chen Xin didn't come. He hesitated whether he should go to point 20 first, but he heard someone from another class say Someone in their class was injured, and he was concerned about it. He didn't ask who it was, and couldn't care about the game, so he ran back and saw Chen Xin carrying Wang Jieyu on his back.He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he just breathed a sigh of relief, and then took another breath, this Chen Xin really didn't make him worry.

Cheng Xin ran up to them in two or three steps, and asked with an uneasy expression, "What's wrong?" Chen Xin was looking at her.

Chen Xin looked at Cheng Xin like a savior, with joy and trust in her eyes: "She, she sprained her foot."

Cheng Xin squatted down and took a look at Wang Jieyu's ankle: "If you can't walk, call the teacher, don't be brave. Where's Shu Liang who walked with you?"

Wang Jieyu said: "I don't want to invalidate everyone's results. Shu Liang left first."

"She left you alone when you were injured?" Cheng Xin's tone was quite bad.

Wang Jieyu said: "No, she left first. I was injured."

With a straight face, Cheng Xin squatted down in front of Wang Jieyu: "Come on, I'll carry you on my back."

Chen Xin touched the sweat on her forehead: "Run, are you done?"

Cheng Xin said, "No, the free spot on the 20th has not left yet."

Chen Xin said, "Yes, should I go first?" He felt that Wang Jieyu should be relieved to leave it to Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin said: "Forget it, let's go together later, anyway, Wang Jieyu is injured, and we can't get the ranking." It's better to enjoy the game with Chen Xin, if I knew it, I wouldn't do tasks separately, How nice to run together all the time.

Chen Xin felt that this was not bad, so she nodded, "Oh, okay, okay."
