Shen Yuyu tidied up the tent and hurried out. Unknowingly, it was already so late.
Everyone walked out of the tent one after another.
Shen Yuyu raised his head and looked up. Because the top was blocked by intertwined branches and leaves, the light he could see was extremely weak.
The light projected from the leaves on the ground swayed in fragments on the ground.
Shen Yun walked out of another tent and looked up at Shen Yuyu.
Asked: "Eucalyptus, is there any way to identify the direction?"
Everyone has not forgotten that Shen Yuyu said there is a way last night, and all eyes are focused on her.
Shen Rong suddenly remembered that he had read in a book the method of identifying the direction based on the growth rings of tree stumps.
Then he asked: "Eucalyptus needs to identify the direction according to the growth direction of the trees?"
Then he said to himself: "But we didn't see any broken tree stumps when we came in. These trees are so big, it's not convenient to cut down one."
Shen Yuyu naturally thought of this method, but as her father said, it was not convenient to rely on this method in the woods.
So she was talking about several other methods, and Shen Yuyu directly stated his own method.
"No need to look for tree stumps, just look at the shadows on the ground."
Everyone looked towards the place pointed by Shen Yuyu's finger.
There were shadows of branches and leaves swaying on the ground.
Old Mrs. Shen asked anxiously: "Hey, please stop being so secretive and tell us quickly."
Shen Yuyu smiled and then continued: "Don't worry, Grandma, it should be about 2:00 o'clock now. The sun rises in the northeast, and the direction of the shadow it casts is the southwest. Everyone, look carefully at the shadows on the ground."
Everyone looked again and found those dim shadows slanting in one direction.
After they arrived in the woods yesterday, they had been worried that someone would be chasing them, so they hurried on in a hurry. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already afternoon.
The sunlight was so weak that he naturally didn't notice the method Shen Yuyu said.
Now that Shen Yuyu mentioned it, everyone felt that this was indeed a good method.
Shen Dalang looked at the shadow on the ground and said excitedly: "So that's the southwest direction."
"Yes." Shen Yuyu smiled and said, "There is also this stone. The moss grows vigorously on this side, which means it is from the north. We can follow the shadow cast by the sun to identify the direction, and then just adapt to changes at any time."
Everyone thought it was a good method and couldn't wait to try it out.
Old Mrs. Shen was also very happy to finally find the direction, but she still called out to the impatient people, "Even if we are going to set off, we have to rest our stomachs first and collect all our things quickly. We will set off in a while."
Because of the excitement of finding the direction, everyone did not start cooking any more. After having a simple meal, they loaded everything on the cart and set off.
Originally, they had already used up the contents of a cart and an ox cart, but Mr. Zhang was unwilling to throw away the cart, so he shared some of the contents of the other two ox carts.
It also takes strength to pull an oxen, but now that there are fewer things on top, it doesn't take that much effort anymore.
Everyone took turns pushing the cart, and occasionally they could sit on the bullock cart and drive along.
They happened to be walking in a southwest direction, so they only needed to walk in the direction of the shadow on the ground. When the sun reached the other side in the afternoon, they walked in the other direction of the shadow.
Everyone was so busy on their way that they forgot all about the time.
Fortunately, they didn't get lost again this time. They marked all the paths they took and didn't return to the same place.
When they stopped again, they were forced to stop.
Liulang held the candy given to him by Shen Yuyu in his hand, but he was reluctant to eat it.
He sat on the edge of the cart and swayed his legs leisurely.
But when the cart arrived under a big tree, in the blink of an eye, Rokuro found that the candy he was holding in his hand was gone.
He thought he had accidentally dropped it, and he searched around for a long time without finding it. In the end, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Everyone looked towards him and asked, "What's going on? Why are you crying?"
Liu Lang was so sad that he looked at Shen Yuyu with aggrieved eyes and cried: "Sister, the candy you just gave me is gone, woo woo!!!"
Rokuro's cry echoed throughout the forest.
Shen Yuyu's expression paused, Liu Lang's sadness was so penetrating, I believe everyone present felt his sadness.
Xiao Zhang heard Liu Lang's cry in the carriage and thought something had happened. She was so frightened that she quickly opened the curtain.
As a result, I heard Liulang crying to Shen Yuyu about the candy.
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "Have you already eaten? I want to ask your sister for another one."
Otherwise, the candy in your hand will be gone as soon as it is gone.
Rokuro cried even more sadly, feeling that no one understood his sadness.
Obviously just now, he was still holding the candy in his hand, and then he felt his hand being scratched by something, and when he lowered his head, the candy was gone.
Yes! Someone snatched the candy from his hand!
He wiped away his tears and looked elsewhere around him.
But there was no one else on the cart except him.
Just when his mind was filled with little questions, a piece of candy wrapper floated down from above and fell right into Rokuro's hand.
"Hiccup~huh?!!!"
His candy...the candy wrapper!
Everyone looked at the falling candy wrappers and looked up in shock.
"Zhizhi~"
"Chirp~"
The treetops shook for a while, and everyone looked up and saw more than thirty monkeys squatting on the treetops.
One of the monkeys was holding a milky white object in his hand and trying to put it into his mouth.
"My candy, it stole my candy!" Rokuro shouted looking at the monkey.
When the monkeys saw that Shen Yuyu and others had discovered them, they were not afraid. Instead, they swayed back and forth on the branches above their heads and squeaked.
Rokuro watched helplessly as the monkey put his candy into his mouth but was unable to do anything. He jumped off the cart angrily and jumped up.
"You bad guy, give me back my candy!"
"Zhizhi~zhizhi~"
More than thirty monkeys screamed together, and the sound was so noisy that it made people want to block their ears.
The monkey king who snatched Rokuro's candy looked at him proudly, broke off a small branch from the tree and threw it towards him.
The other monkeys also followed the same example, breaking off small branches from the trees and throwing them at the Shen family.
The Shen family members were unprepared and were thrown into confusion.
They wanted to drive away these naughty monkeys, but the monkeys seemed to have gotten into trouble with them and kept squeaking and throwing branches down.
