When Fang Guolian, Zhao Mingfeng and the others returned to the ship, Yang Beixing and Hu Shu accompanied Zhao Chen and came back, talking to each other, and then saw Zhao Chen nodding and smiling: "Although the risk at sea is greater, there are dozens of times the interest to earn, it is worth it!" Worth! When we return from this trip, we will have to increase our strength in this regard. When Yang Beixing and Hu Shu heard this, their faces were happy.

Not long after, the sailors who went to the island to wander, as well as Shen Qiuqin, Mei Yinan and others came back one after another, Zeng Shuping ordered people to count the number of people, and there was no shortage, and then ordered the two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" to set sail.

Zeng Shuping, Xiaosheng, Xu Gong and Zhao Chen carefully studied Zheng He's navigation charts, but they followed his route and sailed all the way. After a few more days of walking, a patch of land appeared above the sea level.

Xu Gong told everyone: "We have arrived in Zhancheng, and when Zheng He sent an envoy to the West, he was the first to arrive here. From here, it is possible to go back to the original place by land, but it will take a little longer. When they heard this, they rejoiced. Champa was located in the southern part of present-day Vietnam and was a port at the time. The two ships of "Taixuan" and "Hailang" looked for the port and docked, and the local people saw that they were two big ships and knew that they were here to trade, and some businessmen came up first, Yang Beixing and Hu Shuzi contacted those people, and Zeng Shuping also followed as a translator. Xiaosheng suggested that the sea vessels anchor here for a day. In the past, the ship was stocked with some food and fresh water, and Zhao Chen responded, and then accompanied by Fang Guolian, Luo Kun and others, went to the shore for an excursion.

When Zhao Chen and others took a tour on the shore, they saw that the customs and customs of this place were different from the original, and when they returned with great interest, they saw a person standing on the shore and looking at the boat. At this time, the man turned around and saw Zhao Chen and the others coming, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "May I ask if you are from the country?" ”

Zhao Chen saw that the person's clothing and accent were no different from the original person, so he responded: "Yes, we are from China." The man was overjoyed and said, "It's really good, just now I heard that there are two big ships moored at the dock, it seems to be from the original, so I hurriedly ran to see it, and it was true." In Xia Liu Hanmin, whose ancestral home is Suzhou, he has lived here and is very happy to see the Chinese people who come here. As he spoke, Liu Hanmin's eyes were a little moist. Zhao Chen, Fang Guochuan and others were all moved when they saw it.

Zhao Chen hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Mr. Liu, in Zhao Chen, he is also from Suzhou, you and I should be fellow villagers." Liu Hanmin was pleasantly surprised when he heard it: "When I heard Mr. Shicai's accent, I suspected that the fellow had arrived, what a coincidence." Zhao Chen smiled, and introduced Fang Guolian, Luo Kun and others, and everyone greeted Liu Hanmin one after another. Liu Hanmin was very excited, and hurriedly invited: "Our house is not far from here, and I also invite Mr. Zhao to be a guest at home." ”

Zhao Chen was a little excited when he saw that Liu Hanmin was so enthusiastic and that he was also a fellow countryman in a foreign country, so he smiled and said: "Since everyone is a fellow villager, they should visit." Liu Hanmin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly led everyone home. Zhao Chen whispered a few words to Zhao Mingfeng on the side at this time, Zhao Mingfeng nodded and understood, and explained a few words to the two sailors accompanying him, and the two sailors flew back to the ship, and then carried some things to follow.

Zhao Chen and others followed Liu Hanmin to a house with wooden buildings and hedges, and as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they welcomed a person out. The man couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Liu Hanmin had brought five strangers over.

Liu Hanmin hurriedly said: "Big brother, these people are from the original by sea boat. The man was overjoyed and said, "Welcome, welcome." Liu Hanmin introduced: "This is my brother Liu Hanchen. Liu Hanchen greeted Zhao Chen, Fang Guolian and others, and then invited him to sit in the wooden building. A woman offered tea, and Liu Hanchen invited everyone to use tea. Liu Hanmin sighed at this time: "I have heard that the original country is beautiful, vast and boundless, and I have always been fascinated. ”

Zhao Chen said: "Although Mr. Liu lives overseas, he is so nostalgic for his original homeland, why don't you go back and have a look?" ”

Liu Hanmin sighed: "Because of the tiredness of the family business, I have been unable to get away, and there are no relatives over there to take refuge, and it is not easy to go once." The ancestors once took a sea boat back once, but unfortunately when the war was raging, the way turned back, but asked me to wait for the descendants, and keep the little ancestral business that I had worked so hard to earn. Zhao Chen sighed: "It's really not easy to leave your hometown and survive in a foreign land, and I don't know how much hard work you have to endure to survive." Liu Hanchen sighed and said: "What Mr. said is that if you are far away from your homeland and live overseas, the pain during this period cannot be felt by others. Fang Guolian, Luo Kun and others listened on the sidelines, and they all sighed.

Zhao Chen sat down with the Liu brothers for a while, and then got up to say goodbye, and gave some Suzhou's special silk and other things. The Liu brothers were very happy and grateful, and after sending Zhao Chen and others back to the ship, they hired someone to carry ten baskets of local coconut books, bananas and other fruits in return, and Zhao Chen rewarded himself.

The two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" anchored in the port of Champa for one day, and then set sail again the next day, and the brothers Liu Hanchen and Liu Hanmin came to the shore to see each other off. After leaving the city, the two ships continued westward. Talking about Liu Hanmin's brothers, Zhao Chen was emotional.

Hong Huanzhang said: "Chinese people living abroad, life is much more difficult than in the homeland, the local people call us Tang people, Chinese, Southeast Asia is the most, concentrated in Sumatra, Java, Luzon and other places, especially Luzon is the most. My ancestors also lived here, and my uncle took me back to the original place, and when we sailed back, we should stop in Luzon and look for some old people. ”

Fang Guochuan said: "Mr. Hong, why are there so many Chinese people living overseas? Hong Huanzhang sighed and said: "If you can live in your homeland, who is willing to leave your hometown and go to a different place." As far as I know, most of the people who went overseas to make a living were forced to leave their homeland due to war and famine, and most of them were farmers, craftsmen, merchants, adventurers, and, of course, some criminals. In Java, there is a large family surnamed Li, who is very influential among the local diaspora, and I heard that they are descendants of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, and they avoided overseas because of the war. ”

Zeng Shuping said: "There are many people in our country, and the world is so big, it should be everywhere." Hong Huanzhang sighed: "Speaking of this matter, there is some bitterness in it, but fortunately, the expatriates are very angry, and they have a great influence in the local area, and they are deeply respected by the locals, and of course, they are not pan-discriminators." ”

Along the way, passing through several islands, I saw that there were Chinese and locals living together, and saw the arrival of the two sea ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang", which made those people very happy, and some of them came on the boat to see, and Zhao Chen ordered the sailors to receive them warmly. According to Zheng He's navigation chart, the two ships "Taixuan" and "Hailang" left Xincun and headed for the old port, preparing to pass through the Majia Strait to Sumatra, and then go straight to the Western Ocean.

When they arrived at the old port, many locals and Chinese came to greet them, and Yang Beixing and Hu Shuye went to trade. Zeng Shuping and Zhao Chen discussed and prepared to let the sea ship anchor here for two days, and everyone heard this, cheered, and went ashore to play. Hong Huanzhang said to Fang Guozhuan: "When Hong was young, my father took me here to visit a friend, and this time I passed by, I went to visit the old acquaintance, and Fang Gongshu accompanied me to walk around if he had nothing to do." ”

Fang Guochuan smiled: "It's okay." So he went with Hong Huizhang. Xiao Quanshu followed Ruan Fang, Bu Yuan, Luo Kun, Mi Qian and others ashore to play and swim, and Xu Gong also went to the old port several times, and also led Xu Qi to visit old friends. Bi Facheng's father accompanied Zhao Chen, Mei Yinan and others to visit the local customs, and Tang Shuqing led the sailors to overhaul the ship. Ximen Guang was not suitable for long-distance voyages, a serious illness, Shen Qiuqin prepared two sets of medicine with him, although the condition improved, but the body was very weak, so he had to lie alone in the warehouse, watching everyone go ashore to play.

In order to hide people's eyes, Mu Hui led Ge Langning and a few other men to go ashore to find her father's traces. Passing by a few shops, I asked if there were any merchants surnamed Mu who came here ten years ago, and those shopkeepers naturally shook their heads and waved their hands and said they didn't know. After dealing with business, Mu Hui led his subordinates to play to their heart's content.

Let's say that Fang Guohuan followed Hong Huanzhang all the way, and walked to the door of a rather imposing courtyard, Hong Huanzhang said: "This is it." As he spoke, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

There was not much time, and as soon as the door opened, a young man came out and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Hong Huanzhang said: "May I ask the little brother, is this Mr. Song Yazhai's home?" The young man said, "Yes, but my master is not free today, and he will not be a guest, so the two of you will come back another day." ”

Hong Huanzhang hurriedly said: "I just came from the country by sea boat, because I passed by here, I took the opportunity to visit Mr. Song, and I hope that my brother will say goodbye." The young man was overjoyed and said, "From the original! Why didn't you say it earlier? Come in. Hurriedly let the two in, led them to the living room and sat down, the young man said, "Wait a moment, the host is meeting guests in the backyard, and others can't disturb them." ”

Hong Huanzhang said: "It's okay, let's wait for a while, don't worry." Then the young man brought two bowls of tea, put them on the table and said, "Since the two of you have come from afar, the master will be happy, just wait for a while, I still have some work, so I will not accompany you." With that, the young man turned and went out. Hong Huanzhang said to Fang Guolian at this time: "The master here is called Song Yazhai, an old friend of my father, and I have visited him with my father before. This Uncle Song is very famous in the local area, and he is the leader of the Chinese Association in this area, and he is a very influential figure. Fang Guochuan heard this and nodded.

The two of them waited for a long time, but no one came, not even the young man who had just gone. Hong Huanzhang couldn't sit still, got up and said to Fang Guolian: "The courtyard book here is very big, you and I go out for a walk, it's annoying to sit still, and I'll talk about it when my Uncle Song comes." Fang Guochuan said: "It's okay." Then he and Hong Huanzhang walked out of the living room.

The courtyard here has another style, and it also has the appearance of some small gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are some rare tropical plants. Hong Huanzhang seemed to remember the path, so he led Fang Guohuan to look around, and unintentionally, the two of them walked into the back garden.

At this moment, from behind a bush came the sound of words, as if several people were talking and laughing or something. Fang Guolian and Hong Huanzhang realized that their family had gone deep, and they were about to retreat, when they heard that there was a person on the other side of the bush: "Brother Song's move is a good move, but the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, how can you enter at will." Then, there was the crisp sound of the chess book falling.

Fang Guolian's heart moved at this time, and the nature of a chess player involuntarily stopped listening. Hong Huanzhang saw it, but he didn't fight to urge Fang Guolian to go back, and stood with him.

Immediately, he heard a cheerful smile and said: "Sun and Liu's alliance against Cao, although it is a wonderful strategy, but Sun and Liu also have the heart of mutual refrain and annexation, and control each other. "There is the sound of chess books falling again. At this time, I heard another person say slowly: "The disadvantage of the alliance between Sun and Liu is that there is no beginning and no end, and in the end, they were destroyed one by one. But in such a chess game, although Zhu and Brother Tong joined hands to control Brother Song, but the two of us also have a place to kill each other, Brother Song has a good grasp of this point, so that the two of us are temporarily at a disadvantage, but the outcome is undecided, and we still need to come. ”

Fang Guohuan became more and more confused when he heard it at this time, and felt that from the other side, there seemed to be three people walking a game of chess together, which was really puzzling. Fang Guolian wondered, and wanted to see what was going on, so he couldn't help but turn around the bushes and look for the chess game. On the other side of the bushes, there was a pavilion, and at this time there were three old men sitting around the table, and the table had a chessboard, and the three of them were walking a game of chess together.

Fang Guolian was stunned when he saw it, he was very confused, and he didn't know how the three of them moved on the chessboard, so he simply walked over gently to see what to understand. Hong Huanzhang recognized one of his old men at this time, and his heart was overjoyed, and he also followed Fang Guolian to the pavilion. Hong Huanzhang knew that the three old men were playing chess, so it was inconvenient to disturb, so he watched with Fang Guohuan on the side.

When Fang Guochuan looked at the chessboard on the side, he couldn't help but be taken aback. It turned out that there were black, white, and blue chess books on the chessboard, and these three-color chess books surrounded each other, and the chess positions were intricate, and the blue chess positions were more difficult to check than the black and white chess positions. Fang Guohuan was surprised, and he held his breath and watched the three old men play chess. The three old men also concentrated on themselves, not realizing that there were already two more people behind them, and they were killing on the chessboard.

Hong Huanzhang saw this strange three-color chess move for the first time, and was surprised, shook his head, but did not pay much attention to it. Fang Guochuan watched for a moment, and his heart became more and more stunned, seeing that these three people held this three-color chess book, and they all responded to it according to the normal principles of Go, the difference was that the three chess games were a game, and they all had the tendency of attacking and defending each other. For example, the black and white chess can be surrounded and attacked with the spirit of blue chess on the chess road; The blue and white chess can also control the momentum of black chess, and each other can be killed, one side can eat two sides, and the two chess pieces are the same color, contain each other, attack and defend each other, divide the world, seize the opportunity, and see who is smart.
