Although they were very curious about Yan Guang, the person who suddenly appeared to play mahjong together, the three soldiers still introduced themselves.

The hairstyle doesn't need to be described, anyway, everyone, including Yan Guang, has braids. The New Army soldier among them was named Zhou Zining, a tall and thin young man. The one on the left is a passerby-type man with a standard height, standard weight, and even a standard face shape, named Chen Yuguo. As for the last one who doesn't seem to be interested in mahjong, his name is Zhao Wenping, and he is a square-faced man.

"We are soldiers of the New Army of the 17th Town of Sichuan, and we came to Shanghai because we have some personal affairs, and now that the private affairs are done, we plan to take a boat back to Sichuan." Speaking of this, Zhou Zining smiled bitterly. "It's a long way, I don't know how many days it will take to get to Sichuan, I want to buy a game of chess or Go to relieve boredom, but plus I and Yu Guo are only three people, if you do this, there will definitely be someone watching from the side, so in the end I plan to buy a box of mahjong, and then find a boring pastime like us on the boat."

Speaking of this, Zhou Zining suddenly smiled. "After all, there are very few people in China who don't know how to play mahjong..."

"Indeed." Yan Guang also laughed. "I'm also going to buy a box of mahjong, but you're missing one out of three, and I'm just missing three." After saying that, the four of them laughed together.

"Now that the mahjong has been bought, and the four of us have all made it up, should we go back? Look at the time, the ship is about to leave. After looking at his watch, Yan Guang proposed.

"Hmm." Zhou Zining nodded. "We were going to go back after we finished our shopping."

Before he met Zhou Zining and the others, Yan Guang had already disembarked for more than an hour, plus the time he had just talked. If it takes twenty or thirty minutes, maybe the four of them will stand in front of the harbor and look at the ship and sigh.

On the way back, the four of them chatted again.

"Brother Yan is going to Hankou on business?" Diploma Zhao asked.

"Nope." Yan Guang shook his head. "I was going to take a boat to Yucheng, but there was no direct boat from Shanghai to Yucheng, so I was going to go to Hankou first, and then transfer to another boat to Yucheng." As he spoke, he looked at the three people next to him and smiled again. "Speaking of which, if you set off directly after arriving in Hankow, like me, maybe the four of us will be able to gather a table on the ship."

"Oh?" The three of them were all interested, and Zhao asked directly. "So are we going to buy chess or Go? In this way, there is exactly one person and one plate on the boat. It seems that Zhao Xuan really doesn't like to play mahjong, and when he heard that Yan Guang was also going to Yucheng, he immediately took his surname.

"Don't, don't." Yan Guang waved his hand again and again. "Chess, I'm a standard stinky chess basket, only a bit of a head cannon or something, as for Go? It's okay to play backgammon, but forget about Go..."Yan Guang has only won one person in his Go life, and that is his sister who was still in elementary school at the time...

By the way, Yan Guang was already twenty years old at that time...

But then again, every year during the Chinese New Year, Yan Guang and his relatives play mahjong and never seem to have won money...

Seeing Yan Guang say this, Zhao Diploma could only stop insisting in disappointment.

After returning to the passenger ship, Yan Guang learned that they were in a cabin on the first floor, which was very close to Yan Guang's cabin, and he just went down the stairs. Yan Guang then returned to his cabin to rest, and made an appointment with the three of them to come to their cabin in the afternoon for a few laps.

"Who do you say he is?" After Yan Guang went up to the second floor, Zhou Zining asked the two companions.

"Rich people." Diploma Zhao replied very practically.

"The diploma is right, the watch he wears is Swiss, and it is worth at least a few hundred oceans." Chen Yuguo also smiled.

"What did this person do when he went to Sichuan? Isn't it also to buy railway shares? Zhou Zining touched his head, before they left Sichuan, although the Sichuan-Han Railway had not yet started construction, it had already begun to recruit commercial stocks, and there were many people around Zhou Zining who bought commercial shares of the railway, so he thought that Yan Guang might also do this when he went to Sichuan.

"What does all this have to do with us? It's hard to say whether we can see him after arriving in Sichuan, we just need to treat him as a friend who spends time together on the journey. However, Zhao Xuan then said with some hesitation. However, I remember that when I was in Shanghai, I seemed to have seen the name Yan Guang in the newspaper..."

"I've seen it too," Chen Yuguo followed closely.

"Me too, but it's unlikely, right? That Yan Guang is an inventor in the United States, and he should not be the same person as we are in front of us. It was Zhou Zining who spoke, and apparently he had also read the newspaper.

"That's right..."

――――――――――

Although he was talked about behind his back, Yan Guang didn't sneeze, and after returning to his room, he just lay on the bed and slept for a while, and only ate something at about eleven o'clock, and then ran to the platform on the roof of the cabin to watch the scenery.

At this time, Yan Guang regretted a little why he didn't buy a recliner and come back, so that he was basking in the sun on the recliner on the top of the boat, while reading the vernacular novels he bought, and enjoying...

It's a pity that if you go down to buy it now, you can only wait for the next ship to come before you can go to Hankow...

Just when Yan Guang was still lamenting why he didn't buy a recliner and came back, the passenger ship had already arrived at Nanjing Port.

It took only three hours to get from Zhenjiang to Nanjing, and a little more than a day to get from Shanghai to Nanjing. But Yan Guang knew that the journey from Nanjing to Wuhan would not be as short as that from Shanghai to Nanjing.

"If you want to get from Nanjing to Shanghai, it will take at least two days, and I'll buy a deck chair and come back when I go down later..."

Yan Guang also planned to buy a parasol, but unfortunately Nanjing did not sell this thing, so he had to give up in the end.

Originally, there were still a few people who secretly wanted to sell Spring Palace X to Yan Guang, but unfortunately in Yan Guang's opinion, the characters drawn in it were not as interesting as his own two strokes, so he just flipped it twice and retreated.

"Brother Yan, I really didn't expect to see you for a while." Just when Yan Guang was basking in the sun and looking at the vernacular Three Kingdoms bought back in Zhenjiang, Chen Yuguo's somewhat lazy voice sounded.

"Oh? Is it Brother Yuguo? Seeing that it was Chen Yuguo, Yan Guang hurriedly sat up, but accidentally dropped his book on the ground.

"Your book." Just when Yan Guang was about to pick it up, Chen Yuguo had already helped him pick it up.

"Thank you."

"Come, give me a place to sit." Chen Yuguo pushed Yan Guang.

"Okay." Yan Guang gave him half of the place, and then asked with some curiosity. "Why did you get to the top alone?"

"Don't mention it." Chen Yuguo sighed. "Zhao Xuan, that kid is still thinking about chess and Go, when he just landed, Zining and I had to accompany him to the shore to buy it, but after he bought it back, he and Zining killed together, so that he left me aside."

As he spoke, Chen Zining patted Yan Guang on the shoulder. "Sit down for a while, let's go down together, it's almost afternoon anyway, and we can just rub a few laps after eating at our side."

"Okay!" When it came to mahjong, Yan Guang was also full of interest.
