Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Chapter 1: The Call of Adventure

He Yuzhu sat in his study, surrounded by souvenirs and maps from all over the world. On the bookshelf, a tattered travel journal caught his eye. He gently blew away the dust on the cover and opened the journal that recorded the story of ancient adventure.

"These stories are so incredible." He Yuzhu said to himself, his eyes flashing with curiosity about the unknown world.

His wife Lin Fang came in and looked at his focused expression curiously, "Yu Zhu, what are you looking at?"

He Yuzhu raised his head with a gleam in his eyes, "Fang, look at this book, it records the stories of ancient explorers and the mysterious corners they discovered. I suddenly have a strong urge to explore these unsolved mysteries myself."

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 destination is a legendary ancient relic." 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 mountaineer, frowned. "This area has complex terrain and changeable climate, so the expedition 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: Journey into the Unknown

He Yuzhu and his team set out on a journey to the ancient ruins. They passed through bustling cities, crossed mountains, and finally came to an undeveloped wilderness. This was the starting point of their adventure.

"We are about to enter an unknown territory, are you ready?" He Yuzhu stood in front of the team, looking at each team member with a firm gaze.

Zhang Wei checked her backpack. “I can’t wait to explore this site. There are historical secrets waiting for us to uncover.”

Li Ming was examining the surrounding environment. "The terrain here is more complicated than we expected. We need to be careful to avoid getting lost."

Zhou Jie adjusted his camera equipment, "I will record every wonderful moment of this expedition. This will be a legendary story."

Zhao Ting was checking the team's equipment. "Our equipment is ready, including tents, ropes and necessary climbing tools."

The expedition team began to go deeper into the wilderness, following a vague trail, surrounded by dense jungles and steep mountains. As they gradually moved away from the borders of civilization, the pristine appearance of the natural environment appeared before them.

"Look, there are some strange marks on the rock wall over there." Zhang Wei pointed to a rock wall, "This may be the clue to the ruins."

He Yuzhu carefully observed the markings. "These symbols may be ancient characters. We need to record them and study them when we return."

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a heavy rain poured down. The expedition team was forced to take shelter in a cave temporarily.

"This rain came too suddenly, but we can't let it stop us." He Yuzhu encouraged everyone.

Zhao Ting lit a bonfire in the cave. "At least we can warm up now and continue moving forward after the rain stops."

Zhou Jie used his camera to record the sudden rainstorm. "This will be a small episode in our journey, but it is also part of the adventure."

The rain stopped for a while, and the team continued to move forward. They passed through the jungle, climbed the mountain, and finally came to an open area. Here, they saw the outline of the legendary ancient ruins.

"We finally found it!" Zhang Wei said excitedly, "This is the ruins we have been looking for."

He Yuzhu stood in front of the ruins, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "Our journey has just begun, and the secrets here are waiting for us to discover."

Li Ming is considering the next steps. "We need to develop a detailed exploration plan to ensure that we can safely enter the ruins and conduct an investigation."

The expedition team set up camp at the entrance of the ruins, preparing for the next day's exploration. They knew that this unknown journey would bring many challenges, but it was also full of hope for discovery.

“Tomorrow, we will uncover the secrets of this relic,” He Yuzhu told the team by the campfire in the camp. “This will be the most unforgettable experience of our lives.”

The team members fell asleep in the warmth of the campfire and the tranquility of the starry sky. They knew that tomorrow's expedition would bring new challenges and discoveries. This expedition is not only an exploration of the unknown, but also a challenge and growth for oneself.

Chapter 3: Survival in the Wilderness

He Yuzhu and his expedition team went deep into the wilderness to find the legendary ancient ruins. However, the harsh environment and unpredictable challenges of the wilderness tested their survival skills and team spirit.

"Everyone, please pay attention. The terrain here is very complicated and we must be careful with every step." He Yuzhu reminded the team, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Zhang Wei followed closely behind, her eyes switching back and forth between the map and the surrounding terrain. "According to the map, we should be near the ruins. But the vegetation here is too dense, and it is difficult to identify the direction."

Li Ming took out his compass. "Our GPS signal is weak. The compass is our most reliable navigation tool. Everyone should always pay attention to the direction and avoid straying from the route."

Zhou Jie carried a camera and recorded every step of the expedition team. "The natural scenery here is very spectacular, but I also saw some traces of wild animals. We must remain vigilant to avoid unexpected encounters."

Zhao Ting checked the team's supplies. "We still have enough water and food, but we must plan our daily consumption to ensure that we can hold on until the end of the expedition."

Suddenly, the team encountered a turbulent river, blocking their way.

"It looks like we have to find a way to cross the river." He Yuzhu observed the river, "We can try to build a temporary bridge, or find a shallow ford."

Li Ming offered his suggestion, “I suggest we find a safe spot to cross the river. Building a bridge is too risky with this kind of water flow.”

Zhou Jie used his camera to record the river's conditions. "This will be an unforgettable obstacle in our journey."

Zhao Ting was responsible for finding a crossing point. "I found a spot that looked relatively safe, but we needed to use ropes to ensure safety."

Led by Zhao Ting, the team crossed the river carefully, helping each other to ensure that everyone could reach the other side safely.

After crossing the river, the expedition team set up camp in a dense forest. At night, the calls of various wild animals were heard in the forest, adding a touch of mystery and tension to the camp.

"Everyone should stay alert at night and do not leave the camp alone." He Yuzhu reminded everyone.

Zhang Wei sorted out her notes by the campfire. "These experiences are so precious. I must record them well."

Li Ming was in charge of the night watch. His eyes were vigilantly scanning the surroundings in the darkness. "I will stay alert and ensure everyone's safety."

Zhou Jie sorted out his photos in the tent. "Today's river crossing experience was very exciting. I want to select some of the best photos to show our courage."

Zhao Ting was checking the equipment. "We must ensure that all equipment is in good condition in case of emergency."

On the second day, the expedition team got lost in the forest. The trees were so dense that it was difficult to tell the direction. The atmosphere in the team began to become tense.

"Don't worry, we can use the position of the sun to determine the direction." Zhao Ting tried to reassure everyone.

He Yuzhu encouraged the team, "We have a map and a compass. As long as we stay calm, we can find a way out."

After some effort, they finally found a path and walked out of the forest along it. This experience made everyone cherish each other's support and the strength of the team even more.

“We did it!” Zhang Wei exclaimed excitedly. “This experience proves the strength of our team.”

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, "Yes, as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

The expedition team's experience in the wilderness not only tested their survival skills, but also deepened their trust and friendship. They knew that every step of this expedition was a test of their will and courage, and they were ready for more challenges.

Chapter 4: Discovery and Inspiration

He Yuzhu and his expedition team continued to move forward in the wilderness and finally found traces of ancient ruins in a hidden valley. As they explored deeper, a series of amazing discoveries gradually appeared before them.

"Look over there, there are strange patterns carved on those stone pillars." Zhang Wei pointed to a row of neatly arranged stone pillars, her eyes flashing with excitement of discovery.

He Yuzhu approached the stone pillar and gently touched the carvings that had gone through vicissitudes of life. "These patterns may be symbols of ancient civilizations, and each symbol may contain special meanings."

Li Ming took out his camera and carefully recorded every detail. "We need to take pictures of these patterns so that we can conduct more in-depth research when we return."

Zhou Jie was shocked by the grandeur of the ruins. "This place is so spectacular. I can't imagine how the ancient people built such a structure."

Zhao Ting is concerned about the preservation of the ruins. "Although these stone pillars have been through many hardships, they still stand. We must be careful not to destroy these precious historical relics."

As they explored further, they discovered a half-buried stone chamber with an entrance covered in vines and dirt.

“There may be more undiscovered secrets here.” He Yuzhu carefully cleaned the entrance. “We need to dig carefully to ensure that we do not damage any artifacts that may exist.”

Zhang Wei took out the tools and began to assist He Yuzhu in the excavation. "If there are ancient documents or other items here, it will be of great help to our understanding of ancient civilization."

After several hours of work, they finally cleared the entrance, revealing a stone staircase leading underground.

"Everyone be careful, we don't know what's inside." He Yuzhu reminded the team. He lit a torch and led the way in.

The interior of the stone chamber was dark and damp, with moss growing on the walls. But as they went deeper, some strange murals gradually emerged.

"These murals depict scenes from the lives of ancient people, as well as their religious rituals," Zhang Wei explained as she observed. "This may be an important clue for us to understand ancient civilizations."

Li Ming is focused on recording. "We need to photograph these murals. These images will provide us with valuable historical data."

Zhou Jie was deeply attracted by these murals. "These colors and patterns are still so vivid even after thousands of years. I can let more people feel their charm through my lens."

Zhao Ting is considering how to protect these murals. "We can't let these relics be damaged. We should consider cooperating with local governments and cultural relics protection agencies to ensure that these murals are properly protected."

He Yuzhu stood in the center of the stone chamber and looked around. "These discoveries not only provide us with clues to ancient civilization, but also remind us that history is accumulated by the efforts and wisdom of generations. We must respect and protect these heritages so that they can be passed on to future generations."

The expedition team's discovery not only enriched their understanding of ancient civilization, but also deepened their awe of historical and cultural heritage. They know that these relics and cultural relics are the common wealth of mankind, and they need to work together to protect and study them.
