John Niehoff slowly packed up his sketchpads, and Berkelszon urged, "John, hurry up, what are you doing with your sketchpads at this time!?" ”

"Let's go, let's go." Johann Niehoff packed his bags and jumped ahead of Berkels.

In this way, they walked along the way back for another day, and their head, Lodwijk, had lost his patience, and he called the interpreter Chen, who was in charge of the guide, and asked, "Are we walking on the way here?" ”

Chen translated: "It's not my idea to go back the way you came, you can ask whoever asked you to return." ”

"You stupid pigs! I won't be able to lead the way! ”

Before Lordwick's scolding could reach the ground, a burst of shouting was heard all around them, and a group of men armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows appeared in front of them, and their eyes were fierce, as if they were going to eat them.

"Chen, go and ask them what they want to do?" Lodwijk shouted loudly.

Chen translated: "Looking at their dress, they are local natives, not us Han people, and I can't communicate with them. ”

"Oh my God!" Lodwijk was desperate.

The men gathered around them and did not rob them of their things, but one of the men who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and did not know what he was saying, and danced and gestured, but they could not communicate properly, and finally they were taken to a village.

Seeing the village, Lodwick's mood was much more stable, at least they had been rescued, and although he was unable to identify them now due to language barriers, he believed that he would be able to express it clearly in advance.

They were confined to a clearing in the village, it was noon, the weather was unusually hot, and they were sweating profusely, but they could only endure it.

The two Chinese people, Chen Yi and Zhang Yi, were placed under the big tree like distinguished guests, enjoying the fruits sent by the Tu people.

Until the sun set in the west, a young Turk who could speak Chinese appeared, and this young man had been specially invited back from a town twenty miles away.

The young man came to the two interpreters and asked, "I see that you are also from my Huaxia Kingdom, where are you from?" ”

Translator Zhang hurriedly replied: "We are a delegation sent by the Netherlands, appointed by the Dutch Speaker Johann DeWitt, to come to meet your Emperor of the Chinese Kingdom. ”

The young man asked, "Is there a customs clearance paperwork?" ”

Zhang said: "We have ID cards, but we lost them on the way here. ”

"What's next for you?"

"Of course, continue to go to the capital to meet your emperor." Translator Chen interjected, "It's a pity that we have lost the map one by one now." ”

"So you're lost?"

Translator Zhang replied, "Yes." So to speak. ”

The young man said: "We can't fully believe your words yet, after all, you don't have any evidence, but don't worry, we will find out." As long as you're not here to wreak havoc, we can send you to town, where the people will be able to identify you for who you really are. ”

Chen translated: "Look, in such a hot weather, can you let them come to this big tree to cool off?" ”

"No problem. After you have rested, I'll take you to town. ”

Translator Zhang asked, "Can you take us to the governor or the county magistrate?" ”

The young man glared at the translator: "We don't have a governor or a county order here, only the county magistrate, if you want to see our county magistrate, you have to walk a day to meet you." ”

"What do you call it?" Chen Translation interjected again.

"I'm Miao Lun, I'm the militia company commander, so you can call me Miao Lun company commander!"

These two translators are from the Netherlands, and they don't know what kind of officer the militia company commander is, and now they are under the roof of people, and you have to listen to what people say.

Zhang translated: "Elder Miao Lunlian, we want to see your county order, uh...... County Magistrate, can you introduce us to that? ”

"It's a bit difficult for you to meet our county magistrate, our county magistrate is a busy man, and the county seat is still far from here, so you better go to the town first." Miao Lun replied.

At this time, the Dutch were brought over, and under the shade of the trees, they devoured the fruits and melons prepared for them by the Turks.

Their head, Lodwijk, came up to the two translators and asked, "How's the talk going?" Can we continue on our way? ”

Translator Chen introduced Miao Lun to Lodwijk and said, "This is—"

He didn't know what the militia company commander was, so he paused, not knowing what to turn over.

Translator Zhang continued: "This is the village chief of this village, called Miao Lun. He promised to take us to the town ahead. ”

Lodwik said, "Mr. Miao Lun, as long as you take us to find our way to the capital, we will reward you." ”

Chen Translator translated from it.

Miao Lun said: "I'm not interested in rewards, as long as you are not enemies, you can say anything." ”

After listening to the translator's words, Lodwijk hurriedly said, "No, no. We are definitely not your enemies. ”

……

Miao Lun, the commander of the militia company, took these men to a town twenty miles away, and it happened that a battalion of the 1002nd Division came to the town to search the mountains to find the lost Dutch mission, and Lodwijk was taken to the headquarters of the 1002nd Division.

The commander of the 1002nd Division was Yang Wenjia, who had been informed by the headquarters that the Dutchman's documents had been lost at the Rose Garden Hotel.

Division Commander Yang invited Lodwijk and a few others into the division headquarters and asked Lodwijk in person: "What are you doing?" Why did you come to my Huaxia territory? ”

Lodwijk said: "I have been appointed by John DeWitt, the speaker of the Dutch Parliament, to come to your Huaxia Kingdom to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Huaxia, and I ask you for your convenience. ”

Yang Wenjia asked, "Do you have proof to prove your identity?" ”

"No, our proof was lost on the way here."

"Where it was lost, do you know?"

"I don't know."

Yang Wenjia said: "We will find out, now make a record for you, I will ask you one by one." ”

"I want to hurry as soon as possible to the capital to meet your emperor." Lodwijk said anxiously.

Yang Wenjia comforted him and said: "You don't have to worry, we will verify your identity, you want to see our emperor, as long as your identity is not fake, you can meet our emperor immediately." ”

Therefore, Yang Wenjia asked his subordinates to question these people individually, asking them when they set off from the Netherlands, what happened in the Netherlands when they set off, when they arrived in Yangon, and where they stayed in the hotel.

The questions answered by these men basically matched, and their names matched the lost documents, and Yang Wenjia confirmed that these people were members of the Dutch mission who had been missing for some time, so he brought them back to Yangon.
