In the afternoon of this day, Song Yazhai, on behalf of the local Chinese Association, visited Zhao Chen on the "Taixuan" with Zhu Yan, Tong Liang and others, and brought some local specialties as gifts. Because Fang Guohuan gave back three chess treasures and star chess books, Song Yazhai, Zhu Yan, and Tong Liang were amazed, and they also thanked them back and forth. Everyone on both sides talked very harmoniously, and Song Yazhai and others praised each other for a while.

Zhu Yan made a request to Zhao Chen, and when the ship returned and passed through the old port, he begged Zhao Chen to bring his long book back to the original place to visit the old national garden, Zhao Chen nodded and agreed, and Zhu Yan was grateful. When parting, Zhao Chen ordered someone to prepare a heavy gift in return, but Song Yazhai and others couldn't refuse, so they had to thank and accept it. Zhao Chen, Fang Guolian, Zeng Shuping and others kept sending Song Yazhai and others to the shore, and the two sides parted ways.

In the evening, Xu Gong and Xu Qi also returned to the boat, and when they saw the pearl plaque, they couldn't help but amaze Xu Gong, knowing that Fang Guolian's chess skills should be unimaginably superb, otherwise they would not have made the local chess player send such a valuable pearl plaque.

The next day, the two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" set sail, and Song Yazhai, Zhu Yan and others led some local Chinese to see us off, and the two sides waved goodbye. The two ships left the old port, crossed the Majia Strait, and arrived at the port of Sumatra, where they anchored for another three days, and the ships underwent major overhauls, and the food and fresh water were more abundantly stocked. At this time, several sailors accidentally contracted fever, although after Shen Qiuqin's diagnosis and treatment, the condition was mostly better, but can no longer adapt to sea navigation, so Hong Huanzhang came forward, found a local Chinese, temporarily lived here to recuperate, and when the ship returned, and then returned to the ship.

On this day, the weather was sunny and the sun was shining, and the two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" slowly left the port of Sumatra and began their journey to the West. At that time, the western ocean was now the Indian Ocean. The two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" traveled along the route marked by Zheng He's navigation chart for more than ten days, and the weather became hotter and hotter, and everyone went to the bow of the ship to blow the sea breeze.

Zhao Mingfeng looked at the vast sea around him, shook his head and said: "It's been almost two months since I left the original, and the farther and farther I go, there is no end, I don't know how big this ocean is?" ”

Xu Gong said with a smile: "The sea journey is the loneliest and most difficult, and it is not easy for Mingfeng Gongshu to go to sea for the first time, and it is not easy to persevere." Zhao Mingfeng said: "Fortunately, there are many people with great skills on the ship, and it is not so boring for everyone to get together." Xu Gong said with a smile: "This should be thanks to Ling Zuncai, who invited so many talented people to come, which added infinite interest to the sea and made people unforgettable." The old man is also fortunate to go with him, and he travels with the boat adventure, which is very romantic. ”

Ximen Guang said on the side: "If you can really find that wreck and salvage the jewels on that ship, you will be able to become rich and rival the country, although there are risks, it is worth a try." Zhao Mingfeng shook his head and smiled: "This time I went to sea, it was not because of my father's strong desire to accumulate wealth, but because I showed an unfulfilled wish, and it didn't matter whether I succeeded or failed." ”

Xu Gong said with a smile: "Ling Zun's mind is really unpredictable, he actually built a ship and went to sea in person for a wish, and was willing to take so many risks, but fortunately, he also fulfilled the big guy's wish to go to sea." Zhao Ming laughed when he heard this.

At this time, Fang Guohuan made an appointment with Xiaosheng and Mei Yinan to try out the kind of three-war chess in the warehouse, Xiaosheng and Mei Yinan both knew chess, and when they first saw Fang Guohuan demonstrate the way of moving with three-war chess, they all felt fresh, and after understanding the basic rules, they tried to kill with Fang Guolian. However, after dozens of chess moves, Xiaosheng and Mei Yinan were already messed up, and they didn't know how to deal with the chess, so they were obviously not suitable for this kind of three-war chess technique. Fang Guolian patiently pointed out for a while, but the two of them never went well.

Mei Yinan shook his head and said, "That's it!" That's it! The three of them play a game of chess together, and if they don't come, it's better to play against the two. Xiaosheng shook his head and said: "This kind of move makes the chess situation more complicated, and it is really difficult to deal with the chess road, and it is regarded as a non-top master who cannot move in accordance with it. Fang Guochuan laughed when he heard this, so he had to give up.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sailors cheering in unison, Fang Guolian, Xiaosheng, and Mei Yinan were busy going out of the warehouse to see, but they saw Mi Qian, Deng Long, and Deng Jiao swimming with the boat in the sea. Then, suddenly, the three of them disappeared, and they all dived into the deep water.

Zeng Shuping exclaimed: "The Deng brothers learned the art of holding their breath at a young age, and they can hide in the water for a day, and they are not noticed, and they can be called masters of water." The owner of Wenmi can breathe in the water, like a fish swimming in the water to breathe, which is even more magical. Luo Kun was also on the side at this time, so he responded: "My virtuous brother's method of ventilation is not a simple swallowing, but water entering from the mouth and then coming out of the nose, during which the qi is changed, this is a natural ability, not acquired."

Xu Gongzhi was surprised when he heard this: "The ability fruit in the water of the master of the rice village is unusual, like a legendary mermaid." Hong Huanzhang said: "The ability of this water, it is really amazing, Hong lived in Luzon when he was a child, and once saw a local man with the ability of 'water eyes', this person can see things in water, just like I see things on land, it is said that his mother was born in the sea water, and then somehow he has this ability." ”

Xu Gongdao: "This person's ability is not because his mother gave birth to him in the sea, but it should be innate. Some fishermen's children's books on the beach love to play in the sea, and after a long time, the water is amazingly good, which is acquired after tomorrow. At this time, the sailors cheered again, but Mi Qian, Deng Long, and Deng Jiao surfaced, Deng Long held two starfish in his hand, Deng Jiao caught a sea fish, but Mi Qian pulled up a squid. After the three of them got on the boat, Mi Qian said happily: "This underwater fruit is much better than that in Dongting Lake, although it is not possible to distinguish objects under dozens of meters, you can see some glowing colored fish swimming around, but it feels like it is not in the sea, just like floating in the night sky to catch stars." ”

Deng Long said with a smile: "Although the master of Mi Zhuang is extraordinary in water, he has lived in Dongting for a long time, and he has never appreciated the wonder of this underwater world. Luo Kun said with a smile: "The 'Little Dragon King' can only enjoy himself when he enters the sea." Mi Qian smiled: "Swimming in the sea, the feeling of playing in the water is different from that lake." ”

At this time, the sailor Wang Chang, who suddenly heard it, exclaimed: "Big fish! There's a big fish there! When everyone heard the sound and raised their eyes, they saw a huge thing slowly floating on the surface of the sea not far away, with its back like a mountain, and the giant was round, and occasionally sprayed a column of water. This thing is shaped like a fish, about ten zhang long, and its appearance is not very vicious.

Bu Yuan exclaimed at this time: "What kind of sea monster is this?" It's too big! Mei Yinan said on the side: "This thing is called a whale, and it is the biggest thing in the sea. Bu Yuan was surprised: "Such a big guy, how many things can feed it?" It looks like the book is very heavy, how to find food? ”

Mei Yinan said: "Whales feed in a peculiar way, occasionally making loud noises, stunning nearby fish, and then devouring them, rarely using their teeth to bite. Xu Gong nodded and said: "Mr. Mei is good at understanding all things in the sea, erudite and knowledgeable, and is the most praised by seafarers. Mei Yinan heard it and smiled. At this point,

When Ruan Fang saw the giant whale, he said happily: "Wait for me to take its life and let everyone share a good meal." As he spoke, he raised a musket and was about to shoot. Mei Yinan saw it and hurriedly stopped: "Ruan Zhuangtu don't hurt it, even if it hits the vital point with a bullet, it may not take its life, if it is forgiven, it will be unfavorable to us, it is better not to provoke it." ”

When Ruan Fang heard this, he took the fire and said; "Reasonable, this guy is too big, with a sweep of his tail, he can overturn our sea ship, it's better to stay away from it." Mei Yinan said: "Although the whale is large, its temperament is quite gentle, as long as it does not take the initiative to attack it, it will not come to us for trouble." Sure enough, I saw the giant whale floating lazily on the sea, and I didn't pay much attention to the two boats "Taixuan" and "Hailang" that passed by.

Zhao Chen, who was resting in the warehouse, heard that there were big fish on the sea, and he also came out to watch. Seeing the giant whale, Zhao Chen exclaimed: "Such a big thing, it can be called the king of Shanghai!" Mei Yinan said: "Don't look at its huge body, but it's not fierce, the most powerful thing is the shark, that's the real sea overlord." The ship gradually moved away from the whale, and its staggering form could still be seen.

On this day, the two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" were moving, but somehow, the speed of the ship slowed down, and then it stopped on the sea, and the sails that had been agitated had no tension at this time, obviously there was no sea breeze. At this time, the sea surface is also unusually calm, only microwaves are faint, the sun is poisonous, and the weather is particularly hot, which is something that has never been encountered since going to sea.

Xu Gong looked at the sea and said, "We are in" without wind with Ming Feng was surprised: "There will be no wind on this sea?" It's a strange thing. Xu Gongdao: "It's just that there is no wind in the sea in this area." ”

Zhao Chen said: "The logbooks with Zheng He's navigation charts also record the 'windless belt', and Zheng He's fleet was also trapped here for a while, and it seems that we encountered it again." ”

Xu Gongdao: "There is no wind and heat in this sea, we can't be trapped, we should leave quickly." At this time, the hull of the ship slowly moved forward again, and it turned out that Tang Shuqing commanded the sailors to drive the "treadwheel".

Zhao Chen said happily at this time: "The 'treadwheel' designed and installed by Mr. Tang is used instead of oars when the sail is falling without wind, and it seems that this time it has played a big role." In order to leave this "windless zone" as soon as possible, Zeng Shuping ordered the sailors on the two ships to move their oars together and drive the boat forward with the "treadmill".

Due to the lack of wind at sea, the hulls of the two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" were larger, and the speed of moving forward was much slower than usual. At this time, the weather was extremely hot, and more than a dozen sailors couldn't hold on, and the heat fell, and Shen Qiuqin hurriedly ordered people to carry the summer sailors into the warehouse for treatment. Caught in this predicament, everyone couldn't help but be anxious, Bu Yuan, Luo Kun, Ruan Fang, Mi Qian and the Deng brothers, each took off their shirts, bare their shirts, and rowed hard with the sailors. Zhao Chen's father, Fang Guolian, Zeng Shuping, Xiaosheng, Mei Yinan and others also joined in, taking turns paddling with the sailors, and for a while, the morale was greatly boosted, and the speed of the boat was faster.

Fortunately, the "treadwheel" designed by Tang Shuqing had a great effect, and with the full cooperation of everyone and sailors, the two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" slowly traveled out of the "windless belt". The cloud sails on the ship were already agitated at this time, and a refreshing sea breeze blew. Bu Yuan shouted loudly: "Brothers! It's windy, work harder, and leave this hellish place right away. The sailors were excited, shouted the trumpet, and rowed the oars with all their might, driving the "treadwheel." In a short time, the wind rose and the ship sailed quickly, and the men of the two ships immediately began to cheer.

The two boats "Taixuan" and "Hailang" came out of the "windless zone" and caught up with a heavy rain, which washed away people's boredom and hot weather. After the rain, everyone came out of the warehouse, stood on the bow of the boat, talked and laughed, and enjoyed the charming scenery of the sea. At this time, flocks of seabirds also increased, flying high and low around the ship.

Xu Gong saw it and said: "There are many seabirds here, and it seems that there must be a big island nearby." When they heard this, they were all glad, for it had been more than half a month since the ship had entered the Western Ocean, and they had not seen even a single island, and they were tired of staying on the ship. After a while, an island appeared on the sea level in front of them, and everyone pointed and rejoiced. The boat approached the shore and anchored outside the shoal, and Fang Guolian, Shen Qiuqin and others and the sailors arrived on the shore in small boats.

Xiao Quanshu stayed up on the boat for a long time, and as soon as his feet landed, he cheered and ran on the beach, which was very comfortable. Suddenly, he accidentally fell on his heels, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

This is a large island, with red flowers and green grass, high mountains and forests, beautiful and charming scenery, which is different from other places. After many days at sea, and seeing such a pleasant and good place, the people on the boat all came down to the island to relax. Zhao Chen's father was accompanied by Bi Facheng, and walked close to Xu Gong, Zeng Shuping, Xiaosheng and others, but he didn't go deep. Shen Qiuqin led two younger brothers to the island to collect medicine, while Bu Yuan and Bi Wei led more than 20 sailors and took knives and bows to hunt the birds and beasts on the island to change the taste for everyone.

Fang Guohuan took the small book with him, and walked all the way to the island with Luo Kun, Ruan Fang, Mi Qian, Mei Yinan, Ximen Guang and others. After walking a short distance, I heard a commotion in the woods in front of me, and more than a dozen sailors ran out of the forest with a smile, each holding some fruit books that had just been picked from the trees, and when they saw Fang Guochuan and others, they divided some.

Fang Guohuan saw that this kind of wild fruit had never been seen in his own family, and when he took a bite, it was sweet and sour. Ximen Guang didn't know this fruit, he was afraid of poison, and he didn't dare to eat it, Mei Yinan smiled when he saw it: "But it's okay to eat it, this fruit is called 'fruit', it is mostly seen on islands, and sailors know it." After Fang Guohuan tasted it, he nodded and said, "This fruit book has a different fragrance, which is similar to the apricot book." ”

Mei Yinan said: "Delicious food should not be used too much, the wild fruits on the island have a sweet and sour taste and salty and cold, and eating too much will cause bloating." ”

Fang Guolian, Mei Yinan and others laughed all the way, and when they reached the top of a mountain and looked back, the two boats of "Taixuan" and "Hailang" on the shore were as small as paper folds, flocks of seabirds were hovering in the sky, and sailors were resting and playing on the beach. Mi Qian exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful place on this vast sea. ”

Luo Kun said: "This overseas landscape is different from the color of the original landscape, the world is so big, it is not something that people can enjoy." Mei Yinan said on the side: "The world is vast, since there are people who can't go to the place, there are also strange scenes that we can't see, the strange things contained in the ancient books, although most of them are false, but they are not all untrue, Mei has been in the sea for many years, and I am deeply touched." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard a shouting from the bottom of the mountain, but I saw that Bu Yuan and the Bi brothers led some sailors with swords and bows to drive out the wild beasts on an archipelago from the forest, in addition to the deer and roe deer, there were also a few wild boars in it. These wild beasts ran out of the forest in a panic, and immediately attracted more than 100 hands on the beach to surround them, and there was a hunting scene at the bottom of the mountain.

Fang Guochuan was happy to see it and said, "We have game to eat today." Xiao Quanshu said regretfully on the side: "Knowing that it is so lively, it is better to go hunting with Brother Bu and them." Fang Guochuan smiled and said: "You are too young, Brother Bu will not take you there, I am afraid that you will be hunted by fierce beasts." ”

Xiao Quanshu shook his head and said, "No, I have the 'Lianzhu Gun' given by Brother Ruan, which can shoot those fierce beasts." Ruan Fang said at this time: "Knowing that there are so many wild beasts on the island, let the sailors take those fire guns off the boat, so that they can hunt some big beasts and prevent some dangers." Luo Kun said: "Brother Bu's overlord bow is not afraid of even tigers." ”

Fang Guolian, Ruan Fang and others then walked down the mountain and prepared to go back to the boat. While everyone was talking and laughing, suddenly five sailors ran out of the side Lin in a panic, one sailor behind him also carried one on his back, and another sailor supported him. Seeing Fang Guohuan and the others coming, a sailor hurriedly stopped, "Have you ever seen Mr. Shen?" ”

Mei Yinan knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" The sailor said with a sad face: "When we went to the forest to play, Second Brother Zhang was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, and his leg was swollen because he was afraid of people, so he hurriedly went back to Mr. Shen for treatment, but he was afraid that Mr. Shen was not on the ship." ”

Mei Yinan said: "Yes, Mr. Shen has already gone to the island to collect medicine, and he is not on the ship at this time, and he will not be able to come back for a while." When the sailors heard this, they were in a hurry. Luo Kun said at this time: "Let's put this brother down and see how the injury is?" You guys go and look for Mr. Shen separately, and when you see it, you will immediately attract it, and I will take care of myself first. ”
