When I returned to the garrison, I felt indescribable. It's not good, it's not bad. I can't tell if it's happy or sad. First of all, I arranged for someone to drive a small boat back to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and bring Mamaha Di's heart back to be buried, so that this person who has wandered overseas but cherishes his homeland can return to the embrace of his hometown......

I didn't have time to ask, and I didn't know where Mamaha Di's hometown was. But from his already impure accent and the tongue-biting sound, it can be heard that his hometown must be south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains. So I told the people who went back that it was the safest decision to bury it in Quanzhou, which was the largest supply base for Zheng He when he went to the West.

Watching the boat go away, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. I don't know what it's like to live alone in a foreign land for more than 90 years, but I suddenly felt a little panicked - Mamaha Di's mother tongue is not understood by others, but how much better can I be than him?

Yes, my language is fluent, but what about what I think? I miss all the things in my previous life, and when I have a problem, I think of Baidu or Google, and I want to drive a car when I go a long way. I don't like to drink, I like Coke, with or without ice. I want to listen to music, I want to watch movies, I want to play games, I want to eat ice cream, I miss everything in my past life too much, but it's a pity...... I can't seem to have any of these anymore!

So, what's the difference between me and Mamaha Di? Involuntarily, I sighed and looked at my hand, there was rum, and there was also freshly squeezed mango juice from the sailors these days. I had no choice but to mix the mango juice into the rum, took a big sip, and cooled my stomach for a while, which relieved the depression in my heart.

"What's wrong with you, sir?" Arashi, who came in with a large plate of fruit, asked. Before I could answer, the kite poked its head in behind and said with a wicked smile: "He's been like this since he came back from looking for medicine!" I must have seen a beautiful girl in that village, but I didn't have time to get started, and maybe I was depressed! ”

Lan laughed out loud, put down the fruit in his hand, and put the wine bottle in his hand on my table. They sat down next to me, and Lan smiled and said, "The medicine that Mr. brought back is very effective, and the wounded are recovering quickly after using it!" There were a few of us who would have given up, but we saw how good it was! It's amazing! ”

I raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh! Is it really that amazing? ”

Arashi smiled and nodded.

I shrunk back into the seat and smiled, "That's good!" After two more days' rest, we're heading west! Can't stay any longer. ”

The kite asked strangely, "Is it because of the old gentleman's words?" Is there any basis for him to say this? ”

I smiled wryly and nodded, then shook my head again. The meaning is indeed because of the language of Mamahati, but there is no basis for it.

But I know that there are many things in this world that have no basis, but they still exist in reality! At least so far, every magical thing I've encountered has come true! I have no reason or guts not to care about these seemingly extraordinary things.

Thinking about it, I thought of Mamaha Di's dying words again, and I couldn't help but sigh. In a way, Mamaha Di was lucky – at least after his death, his soul could return to his homeland. But what about me?

But what about me? What about me?

I didn't know it, I looked up to the sky and sighed again, shook my head helplessly, and took another sip of wine. Lan smiled softly and asked, "Is there anything bothering Mr.?" Why don't you just say it, and let us bear it with you? ”

I didn't know how to answer, but looking at the distant scenery, I couldn't help but chant:

The red lotus fragrance remnants of the jade in autumn. Lightly untie Luo Shang and go on the Lanzhou alone.

Who in the clouds sent the brocade book? When the word goose returns, the moon is full in the west building.

The flowers float and the water flows freely. One lovesickness, two sorrows.

There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned, but I was in my heart.

It is Li Qingzhao's "A Cut of Plum and Red Lotus Fragrance and Residual Jade in Autumn".

After the chanting was over, I took another full sip of wine, but I lifted the bottle too hard, and the wine spilled all over!

Lan hurriedly came over and wiped it on me with a handkerchief. Seeing that I was so unhappy, the kite put away her smiling face, leaned over and asked affectionately, "Are you really unhappy?" What's going on? Tell me about it! Arashi and I don't tell anyone! Good no good? ”

Seeing that this guy was so naughty and cute, I couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, and said softly, "I can't tell you either." If one day I know what I really want, why I am worried, I will tell you again! ”

The kite pursed and snorted, wrinkled her little nose and said, "Still hiding your thoughts?" Then I don't care! After saying that, I peeled a mango by myself, and before I was about to put it in my mouth, I slowly turned a corner and finally stuffed it into my mouth.

She looked at me with a smile and said softly, "Men always have their own world and their own hearts. Women don't understand. But don't worry, sir, the kite will always be with you! No matter where it is! As long as I'm alive! ”

With that, she rested her head on my chest and listened to my heartbeat.

Arashi smiled slightly, wiped my clothes clean, and silently poured another glass of wine.

The kite raised his head, pointed at Lan and smiled: "Lan is the most subtle, obviously the same as I think in my heart, but he always has something to say!" No, less than half! Isn't it uncomfortable to hold back? ”

Arashi handed me the wine glass and smiled softly, "It's enough to be cute with you." I like to do things silently, I like it silently, and I can't force it. ”

The two looked at each other, but at the same time showed a knowing smile.

It seemed that I was infected by their smiles, and my mood lightened a lot. I grabbed the kite, grabbed Lan again, pulled them into my arms, and whispered, "Suddenly that storm sounded!" ”

I'm talking about the first time we went to Toei and encountered a storm, and the time we stopped on the trail, I took possession of Kite and Arashi for the first time. The two of them naturally understood what I meant, but this guy was not honest, and poked my chest with his hand and said, "What storm?" I'm going to sea soon, and I still don't pray for calm seas? What are you thinking? ”

I was smiling and about to open my mouth to guide the conversation further, when suddenly someone knocked on the door and said, "Captain! Can I come in? ”

It was Rodriguez's voice. This guy has been tired recently, and he has lost a lot of weight, until we find the special medicine and come back, and he sees that it really works, so he can relax and take time to rest.

Kite and Arashi left my arms and resumed the action of peeling fruit and tidying up the table. I smiled and said, "Please come in!" ”

Rodriguez pushed the door in, and was stunned when he saw that Kite and Arashi were there. Immediately, he showed a cheap smile and said, "Why don't I come back later?" Captain! ”

I smiled and said, "If there's a fart, let it go!" Don't ink! ”

Rodriguez raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, since you asked for it, then I'll finish talking and then leave!" Yes, the medicine you brought back is very effective, and the wounded have basically recovered. Even those who have not recovered are already getting better in an all-round way! ”

I nodded and said, "That's good, keep watching!" Well, how long do you estimate it will be before we can go to sea? ”

Rodriguez smiled: "That's what I'm here for!" Captain, if you're planning to go straight to the West, we can't wait, we should leave right away! ”

I sighed and asked, "Tell me why!" ”

Rodriguez cleared his throat, walked over to the nautical chart on the wall across from me, and pointed, "Let's go now, and it's expected to pass through the Indians and reach the Indian Ocean around April." ”

I nodded and motioned for him to continue. Rodriguez drew a horizontal line across the Indian Ocean with his finger and continued: "We will cross the Andaman Sea, cross the Bay of Bengal, cross the Pauk Strait, and reach Kalihet via Ceylon. At this time, we will take advantage of the summer monsoon in the Arabian Sea to quickly reach Sogdra, and then sail to Mogadishu in the Horn of Africa! ”

As he spoke, he made a few gestures with his hands on the chart, and I could see that it was the direction of the wind, and he continued: "If we don't go now, once the summer monsoon passes, I'm afraid we will have to wait another half a year!" ”

I nodded, slapped the table and said, "Okay! You tell me, can you go to sea now? ”

Rodriguez laughed: "The wounded are in good condition and can go to sea, captain." ”

I patted Arashi on the shoulder and said, "So Captain Arashi, are you ready to go to sea?" ”

Lan smiled and said, "Of course, always be ready!" ”

The kite laughed evilly on the side, I don't know what came to mind when I heard Lan's words, but in short, the expression was very connotative.

Rodriguez glanced at us, cleared his throat and said, "Captain, I'm done, let's go!" Go ahead! Go on! ”

After speaking, he almost ran out, and closed the door with a "bump".

There were only three of us left in the captain's room, but at this time, we didn't have the same mood, or rather, atmosphere. So Lan stood up and saluted slightly: "Then I'll go and prepare, ready to set sail at any time!" ”

I nodded, and Arashi turned away.

The kite gently leaned back into me and whispered, "Sir, I don't know why, but I always seem to have a worry in my heart. ”

I asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

The kite raised her head, gently stroked my face and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany you to the end, and there is always an unspeakable worry......"

I took the kite into my arms and said viciously, "Don't talk nonsense here!" Where else do you want to go? ”

The kite smiled in my arms, but still said, "I don't want to go anywhere, but ...... Who knows! Okay, let's not talk about that, I'm going to find some fresh fruit, it's not so fresh after I go to sea! ”

With that, he broke free from my embrace, stood up, and walked towards the hatch.

When her hand grabbed the doorknob, she suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "No matter where I am, my heart is with my husband!" After saying that, he made a heart to me.

Seeing the kite open the door and go out, I smiled bitterly, this guy, God and God, I don't know what he's thinking about all day long.

Early the next morning, our fleet left Negros Island as a whole and headed west. We crossed the South China Sea, which we now often call the South China Sea, and came to Giadin in Indonesia, where we made sufficient supplies, sold some perishable fruits, and bought some coral and tin ore that were special to Giadin, and then went to sea here and made our way to Malacca.

It took less than three days for us to reach the heart of the South Seas, the east-west corridor - the Port of Malacca!
