The flow of young people's singing and drinking water

Chapter 141 Defense
The next morning.

Except for Tang Lian and Lei Wujie who were still resting at night watch, the others had already woken up.

Hearing the rustling wind outside the window, several people lost the interest to hurry.

"When will this rain stop?" Sikong Qianluo muttered quietly as he looked out the window.

Xiao Se shook his head helplessly, he walked up to Sikong Qianluo, and comforted him, "Miss Qianluo, since it's raining so hard, let's take a rest for a few days, now that the horse is gone, we still have to plan the route ahead , at least the next city must be larger, otherwise there will be some impact on us if there are no horses to sell."

"Okay." Sikong Qianluo muttered.

Suddenly, Yang Ming's voice reached their ears, "The next big city is PY City. If you don't count the rest, according to our pace, it will take at least 10 hours to get there."

"Ten hours?" Sikong Qianluo was startled, "Doesn't that mean we spent the night outside?"

She thought for a while and then said: "Yang Ming, are there any villages or anything on the way to PY City?"

Yang Ming shook his head and said clearly: "No, the map in my hand is already the most detailed. The slightly larger villages are all marked. As for the very small villages, even if they exist, we probably won't be able to find them. "

This map was given to Yang Ming by Ye Xiaoying before he left. Only some of the information on it had been altered, but it did not affect the general location, and the altered places were also in some remote mountainous areas.Yang Ming roughly guessed that those places should be where the Beili army was deployed. It can be said that this map is definitely the best.

Sikong Qianluo didn't believe it, so he took the map and started reading it.Not long after, she pointed at the map and said, "Yang Ming, isn't there a small town here?"

Yang Ming naturally saw it, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, can you take a look at what's on the east side of that small town? The rivers are so wide on the map. Do you think we can cross them?"

"This~" Sikong Qianluo was speechless for a moment. She looked at the map. Just as Yang Ming said, the width of the river on the map was equivalent to that of the small city.

Xiao Se quickly smoothed things over, "Yang Ming, can we really just spend the night outside?"

"Who said that?" Yang Ming shook his head, "Let's wait for the rain to stop. We have a good rest during the day. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the afternoon before rushing on? It happens to be cooler at night and the physical exertion is not so great. After we finish running this section, we will Didn't we arrive at PY City just after dark during the break time last night?"

"Traveling at night?" Xiao Se asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you won't get lost at night?"

"Lost?" Yang Ming smiled slightly, "Polaris, also known as Ziwei Star, you know."

Xiao Se shook his head, "I don't know much about astronomy."

"Polaris is the brightest star at night. As long as you look in its direction, you will know where the north is. Oh, by the way, Polaris is also called Beichen."

Xiao Se asked back, "What if the weather is bad?"

"There are needles on Mu Yumo's body." Yang Ming said with a smile.

Regarding Yang Ming's wrong answer, Xiao Se said speechlessly: "If you can't tell the direction, what does it have to do with needles?"

"It has a lot to do with it." Yang Ming said: "You can make a simple sinan with a needle. You only need to rub the needle on your body a few times, put it on a leaf, and put the leaf on the water. The two sides of the needle Duan respectively refers to the north and south directions."

"Is there such a way?" Xiao Se expressed disbelief.

Yang Ming naturally knew that they would not believe it. After all, this method was only invented in China during the Ming Dynasty's sailing era. In this martial arts world, who would know.

"Yu Mo, give me a needle, Xiao Se, go outside and get a bucket of water." Yang Ming pointed to the bucket aside.Then, Yang Ming opened the door of the temple, and with a slight hook of his right hand, a piece fell and was hooked by him; at the same time, Yang Ming kept rubbing the needle on his hair.

After Xiao Se had received the bucket of water, Yang Ming placed the needles and fallen leaves in the water.

As the leaves stopped rotating, Yang Ming pointed at it and said: "The tip of the needle points to the north."

Xiao Se quickly opened the door and looked at the position of the sun. Because it was early morning, the sun happened to be in the east. When Xiao Se compared it, he was a little surprised and said: "It's true." There was also some admiration in his words.

Yang Ming was naturally aware of Sinan's shortcomings. He added: "This method is the best way for us to identify our position at sea." As he said this, he took out a stone from his pocket.

When the stone came into contact and was slightly close to the needle, the needle began to spin randomly. "This is easy to happen on land. Once it encounters a magnet, it will not work."

"So." Yang Ming continued: "If you really can't tell the direction at night, it is more practical to cut down a tree. Through the annual rings of the tree, it is easy to distinguish the north from the south."

"This is a good way." Xiao Se said in admiration.

"Yang Ming, you said earlier that cutting down trees would be the end of the day, why did you say other ways?" Sikong Qianluo put his hands on his hips.

Yang Ming smiled helplessly: "Auntie, there are no trees on the sea for you to chop down. Once we get lost on the sea at night, you know where we will drift to. On the other side of the sea is the American continent."

Although he doesn't know the specific situation of this world, Yang Ming thinks it should be similar to Blue Star.

"American continent?" Xiao Se and the other three were surprised.

Mu Yumo stepped forward and grabbed Yang Ming's sleeve, "Yang Ming, are you telling the truth?"

Yang Ming nodded, "I said in Leijiabao before that the land under our feet is round. If we start from the Beili port and walk eastward for tens of thousands of miles, we can see that piece of land. , and then follow the coastline all the way to the south, through a strait, and all the way to the east, you will encounter a continent, this continent is called the African continent. If you go north on that continent, you will reach the west of the Western Regions. It is the Eurasian continent where we are located in Beili; if we pass through the Cape of Good Hope of the African continent and walk along the coastline all the way, we can return to Beili. If we continue to go east from the Cape of Good Hope, there is another continent called the Australian continent. The There are many animals on the continent that you have never seen before.”

"This" everyone was shocked and speechless.

After a long time, Xiao Se asked, "Yang Ming, which continents have you been to?"

Yang Ming shook his head, "I've never been there!" Whether in Blue Star or in this world, Yang Ming had never left the land beneath his feet.It's just that there is another half to Yang Ming's sentence. Although I haven't been there, I have seen it.But he didn't say it out loud.

"Then how did you know?" Xiao Se said suspiciously.

Yang Ming thought for a while and said, "When the turmoil in the world calms down, we can take you to see it. The world is so big, and there are poems and distant places."

"It's not that easy to go into the sea." Xiao Se sighed.Although this idea had already emerged in his mind, he was still defeated by reality.

"Ocean-going ships are not like those in small rivers and streams. They must be large and strong, and the height of the ship must be high. The waves in the sea can easily be several meters or tens of meters. Once there is a storm, the ship can easily sink. . And the time to go to sea must be near winter."

"Why?" Sikong Qianluo asked.

Yang Ming smiled and did not reply. Instead, he pointed behind the stone statue and said, "Why don't we go to the ocean now? Why do we know so much? Besides, she is already awake, we have to go and take a look."
