"Thanks to your help, otherwise we wouldn't know where to find the children?" Mr. Duan said excitedly, holding the police's hand. It turned out that his daughter and nephew went to play at their grandmother's house in Heze City, but got lost. Fortunately, enthusiastic citizens took the children to ask the police for help, and they were reunited. On this day, Xiaoyi rode an electric bike and took his cousin Xiaoan to Heze City to find his grandmother. As a result, he didn't find his grandmother's house, and he couldn't even find the way home. They asked the roadside store for directions, only to find that they had deviated by ten kilometers. The store told them that the electric bike might not be able to run that far, so it would be better to call home to notify their family to pick them up. But the two children couldn't remember the phone number at home, and later Xiaoyi and Xiaoan both cried anxiously. Fortunately, Xiaoyi thought of the police uncle, and quickly asked the store for the way to the police station, and rode over for help. When he saw the police, Xiaoyi burst into tears. After his emotions stabilized, he told the police his home address. While comforting the child, the police notified Xiaoyi's family. In the end, Xiaoyi returned home safely with his cousin.

Usually, getting lost is caused by the inability to connect one's location with some known factors, including natural or other factors, and use them as a guide. At the same time, it is also due to a lack of observation and more systematic knowledge of outdoor travel. When traveling, just remembering a special point (such as a cabin, a boat, a car, etc.) is often part of the reason why you sometimes get lost. If you get lost in the wild, you may be in danger of encountering wild animals and bad people. However, getting lost in the city can sometimes be worse than getting lost in the wild.

If you go out alone to a strange place, you may forget or cannot recognize the direction and route you came from and be unable to return; if you travel with family, classmates, etc., you may also get lost. What should I do if I lose my way when I go out?

Self-rescue and self-protection measures

1. If you are lost in the city, first of all, you must realize that you are not in the Amazon tropical jungle with a harsh environment, but in a civilized city where food and shelter are everywhere. If you have a mobile phone with you, you should contact your companions and family members as soon as possible and ask them to find you.

2. If you do not have any communication tools, you should relax and everything will be fine. You should stop immediately to assess the situation. If you continue to move forward blindly, the situation will be worse. Don't panic, please sit down and relax. Take a deep breath, chew a piece of gum, and carefully recall the houses, tall buildings or other geographical features you have passed by to trace the route you have taken. Sit quietly for a few minutes. Draw the route you remember on the ground, and then slowly retreat along the way you have walked. Remember to recall the road signs and landmarks you passed on the way to avoid taking the wrong way and getting lost further. Then, you can find the way and get out of the state of being lost.

3. If you still can't find the way, be sure to ask the adults around you for help. It is best to ask the owner of a roadside convenience store or the traffic police at the intersection for directions. If possible, try to borrow the phone of a roadside store, call home for help, and wait for your family to pick you up.

4. When a child is lost in the countryside or in the wild, when he first finds that he has difficulty determining his position, he generally has not walked far and will not lose his way. The trouble is that most lost children continue to move forward blindly, running around in the forest, making their situation worse. Some lost children even completely walk out of the search area.

5. When you are lost in the countryside or in the wild, first consider whether you can return to the main road you just walked. When it is impossible to go back, observe the environment. If you see a road or something that must be connected to the same road, such as a house, a telephone pole, etc., you should walk towards it. Try to get close to the highway and village and seek help from local villagers. If it is at night, you can follow the lights, the barking of dogs, and the sound of the motors of cars on the road to find a place with people for help. Roads and rivers that are perpendicular to the route are the best choices, because even if you deviate from the original route, you can still find it.

Preventive measures

1. You should pay attention to accurately record the area, street, house number, phone number of your family and the name, address, phone number of your parents' workplace, so that you can contact them in time when you need to.

2. When you encounter fog in the wild and unfamiliar places, you should stay where you are and wait for the fog to dissipate. In order to avoid getting separated or lost in the fog.

3. Remember the route you have taken when you go out to avoid getting lost.
