14. (12 points) In a pond, 10 lotus leaves are arranged as shown in the figure. A frog jumps from one lotus leaf to another, each time only to an adjacent leaf. If a frog plans to start from one of the lotus leaves and make 4 consecutive jumps, how many different ways can it jump?
【Solution】Solution: As shown in Figure 1,
If the frog is to jump to point $A$, it can arrive from point $B$ or $D$, for a total of 2 ways,
If the frog is to jump to point $B$, it can arrive from point $A$, $D$, $E$, or $C$, for a total of 4 ways,

As shown in Figure 2, the number marked at each point represents the total number of ways to jump 1 step to this point, totaling 36 ways;
As shown in Figure 3, the number marked at each point represents the total number of ways to jump 2 steps to this point (by adding the numbers marked at adjacent points in Figure 2), totaling 144 ways,
From this, we can see that each additional step increases the number of ways by a factor of 4,
So, for 3 steps, there are $144 \times 4=576$ ways, and for 4 steps, there are $576 \times 4=2304$ ways, hence the answer is: 2304.
