Chapter 19: The Morse Code

There is no moon and no stars tonight, the wind in the mountains is getting stronger and stronger, and the sound of insects around is already covered by the escalating sound of frogs in the mountain stream, so it can be judged that the rainstorm is coming.

"Whew-whew-" The wind blew through the grass and trees, whistling in our ears. Under the light of our flashlight, the plants were swayed by the wind, and a little farther away was a dark patch, and the road could not be seen.

While we were hurrying on the road, Professor Xia held Ling Xin's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would be swept away by the strong wind, his expression was serious, and every step he took seemed cautious.

"Look!" We were so tired that we didn't know how far we had gone, but Professor Xia's words gave us hope.

Looking in the direction that Professor Xia pointed out, we can take shelter from the rain in the open space under the eaves of the cliff not far away.

When we finally had a place to live, each of us had joy on their faces and hurried towards it.

Arriving at the eaves of the cliff, we each unloaded our luggage and checked the safety of the environment here.

Under the eaves, I took a flashlight and looked at the top of it. The rock above it is dry and uneroded by rainwater, and it is estimated that there are cracks behind it, through which the groundwater is drained bypassing it, so there is no need to worry about the danger here.

Just as we were assessing the safety of the environment here, there was a rustling sound coming from a distance through the trees. It only took a few seconds for it to rain.

"Sen, you come in a little bit, be careful of getting wet in the rain." I watched the torrential rain and called out to me.

Hearing her call me, I shook my flashlight into the sky, and suddenly a lightning bolt stunned me, followed by a thunderbolt.

"Look! to die. "When I saw that the thunder had left me unmoved, he came up to pull me.

"Are you afraid?" I looked at her. "Afraid? Cut! I'm afraid you'll be teased by Lei Split, and we'll have to take care of you then. Ling Xin said and turned to walk towards Professor Xia, who was sitting on the side. Immediately, I followed.

"Alright, you two stop bickering, our flashlight is faint. There's no firewood here, so we'll have to set up our tent before it runs out of power! "After seeing the two of us, Professor Xia analyzed the current situation for us.

Just as Professor Xia was rummaging through his backpack, he suddenly looked at the two of us in shock: "Oops! There are only two tents - let's do this, Sen, you and I squeeze together, and the other one is for Lingxin. How? ”

"Okay, then let's set up Lingxin first, let her rest first, and then build her own, so it's faster." To that end, I suggest.

"Let's get to work!" After Professor Xia finished speaking, he took out the tent from his backpack.

The tent is made of lightweight material, the bracket is made of high-hardness, lightweight alloy, and the assembly process is simple and easy to learn.

"Good night, Dad, Sen!" After Lingxin got into the tent, he poked his head out and said goodnight to us.

"Good dreams!" I made a "heart-to-heart" gesture to her. Professor Xia also nodded. Then Professor Xia patted me on the shoulder and said, "Sen, let's go over there and continue to build ours!" ”

While we were assembling the tent, Professor Xia looked at me strangely.

"Sen, what do you think of my family?" Professor Xia asked me.

When he asked me this, I stopped what I was doing and looked at him: "Uncle Xia, it's very good!" ”

"Then you should take the initiative, and don't look so wooden in your daily life." Professor Xia gave me an analysis for this.

"No, Uncle Xia, we're working now, I don't have time to think about anything else," I rubbed my eyebrows, looked at him and said, "I understand what you mean, but don't worry, no matter what danger she encounters, I will definitely protect her." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't mention this, I will embarrass you," Professor Xia patted me on the shoulder, "Sen, let's get it up, let's rest, and go to the ancient church tomorrow morning." ”

"No, I've been having insomnia lately, so you go to sleep first. I will go out and keep watch for you for a while. I excused myself.

"Then you can do it! There's so much going on today, I can't hold it anymore, so I'll sleep first! Professor Xia said and set himself into the tent.

After they had fallen asleep, I sat down on a nearby stone and stared blankly at the intermittent lightning not far away.

There is no loneliness than when people fall asleep, but they are staring at the sky and thinking a lot.

When the rain had subsided, I walked out and looked around on the grass in front of me, and it was pitch black. The pit in the ground was filled with rainwater, and that's when my "strong magnetic compass" responded.

After I took out my phone, the "strong magnetic compass" analyzed the map of my location. Judging from the light and shadow map, we are located on the east side of Izumi Mountain, about 20 minutes away from the ancient church.

The environment here seems to influence the movement of my compass – sometimes on, sometimes closed. I think back to when I made it, I did a special test of the "magnetic pole segmentation effect", and decided to develop it based on the fact that meteorite magnets still have good utility in places where the magnetic field is highly concentrated. Now it strikes me that either the software is missing something crucial, or that the environment here is inextricably linked to meteorites.

“...... 9866 sheep, 9867 sheep...... 11,201 sheep, no!11,202 sheep, alas, forget it! ”

After counting the sheep all night, when I looked up after being counted, the sky was already slightly bright.

In the early morning of summer, the birds are counted early, and the purpose is nothing more than to find food to eat.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp......" Suddenly this strange frequency of bird calls caught my attention.

"Morse Code"! Such a strange hypothesis flashed in my head.

When I got up and followed the sound, I hesitated: although the frequency of this bird's call is very similar to the "Morse code", how can it be!

When the bird crowed more and more violently at this frequency, I was convinced that it was crying for help.

Following the direction from which the sound came, I brushed aside the grass and walked over. Eventually, the source of the sound disappeared next to a tree.

When I came to the bottom of the tree, I saw a flapping chick flapping its wings in the grass under the tree, and it was flapping its wings and its beak was yellow. "Chirp~" At this time, a few bird chirpings came from the trees. Seeing this, I suddenly understood that it must have been a bird falling from the nest, and it was just the bird in the tree that sent a distress signal.

The bird that fell, shivering from the cold, its cry of despair so faint that it was almost negligible. Seeing that it was so pitiful, I bent down and picked it up, thinking that the temperature of my palm could give it some warmth. Then I slipped it into my coat pocket and climbed up the tree.

"Chirp, tweet." When I was approaching the nest, I pretended to be a bird. This is what Cuong taught me, and the idea of this group of birds is: Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you.

I didn't understand what Cuong said at the beginning, but now that I have understood it, Bird Language is actually similar to the "Morse Code", and it also conveys the meaning that can be understood in a class of people through the frequency of tones.

Under normal circumstances, when a large object is close to the nest, the bird will generally abandon it, or rise up to resist, which is slightly less common. When I climbed the last branch, the bird's nest appeared in front of me, and the bird was nesting in it, looking at me with its neck stretched. Obviously, it understood me - I had no ill intentions and just wanted to help you.

After talking to him in the bird language I had just spoken, I learned that the male had gone out foraging and the baby had accidentally fallen off the tree, so he sent out a distress signal.

After returning the bird to it, I went down the tree. Then the branches resounded with a burst of pleasant birdsong. It seemed to be singing my praises, because the frequency of the call was like a tune.

When I turned back, Professor Xia and Lingxin woke up anxiously looking for me all over the world, and I ran over.

"I'm here!" Seeing that they were so worried about me, I put my hand out of the grass and shook it, and replied to them. However, the mud is really unpalatable.
