Zheng Haizhu listened to Liu Shimin's words and was about to ask the reason, but saw the leader of the natives who walked away at some point, accompanied by a woman with coiled hair.

Although the woman also had a dark complexion, her facial features and facial frame were much softer.

The woman bowed to Liu Shimin and pointed to a big house halfway up the mountain.

"Grandma, see you, please."

The woman spoke in Chinese, and her words were jerky, so that people could understand them.

Liu Shimin smiled kindly, nodded and stood up.

"The mistress of this land, you want to see us, Yan Zhuangshi, Ah Zhu, how about you go with me? Xianglin, people will take it with you, stay at the bottom of the mountain. ”

Yan Siqi felt that such an arrangement was inappropriate, so he called Zheng Zhilong and a few brothers and asked them to listen to General Ma's orders.

The woman who came to invite people, her eyes flashed with wisdom, saw the concerns of these wise people, and said with a sincere smile: "Distinguished guest, don't panic. ”

I don't say more, only the first paragraph leads the way.

The mountain road leading to the big house is winding, but it is not difficult to walk, and there are places where there are stones that can be paved, and it is obvious that it has been polished.

Liu Shimin calmed down and took the initiative to point out to Zheng Haizhu: "Girl, do you see the floor in front of the thatched shed?" The natives were training the soldiers, but there were women standing and watching, and their expressions were not like watching the excitement, but like supervising the training. Moreover, in this village, the garment of the woman is better than that of the man, and the beads of the beast's tooth and stone that the woman wears, and the fabric around her waist, are more beautiful than the man. ”

Zheng Haizhu said in his heart, it turned out to be a matriarchal society, and he was busy revering and said: "My father-in-law has good eyesight." ”

Yan Siqi walked at the end, focusing on the overall layout of the village.

When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he looked back at the sea and could see the terrain quite clearly.

The reef area on which their leaky boat leaned was indeed the last reef group near the shore, and further west in the direction of Penghu Island, there were six or seven large-scale reef groups, each of which could accommodate more than 100 people, like a big fish showing its back on the sea.

Far north of Yubei, stands an island of considerable size, with mountain peaks in the middle and verdant green.

Zheng Haizhu turned around, and when he saw Yan Siqi's thoughtful appearance, he said in a tone of inquiry: "Brother Yan, is the terrain here what you men often say is easy to defend and difficult to attack?" The string of reefs and the small islands to the north, together with the large islands we landed, formed a trend of horns in the south, north and east. ”

Yan Siqi smiled: "That's right, if you fight, it's a good place to defend against strong enemies." If you do buy *** Wakoku's Hirado Port, it is not far behind, just now I saw on the boat, between the north island and the south reef, there is no reef under the sea, which is cleaner than the deer ear waterway off the west coast, and the ship is safe. ”

Zheng Haizhu slowed down a few steps, leaned closer to Yan Siqi, and whispered in a deep voice: "Then it depends on who occupies this place first." Brother Yan, Taiwan is at the intersection of the East and the South Seas, to the north to Japan and North Korea, to the south to Luzon, and to the Ming Dynasty's Penghu Island. If you occupy this place, Daishan Island in Zhejiang in the north will still be yours, and the Li family in the port of Hirado in the Wa Kingdom will not dare to move Daishan as long as they want to run south. ”

Yan Siqi pursed her lips and listened quietly.

On this day and night, the accident was so great that he felt terrified.

He thought that he regarded Li Guozhu as a sibling, and he never owed him the right hand man who followed him, but he was ruthlessly betrayed and betrayed by them, and fell into the predicament and danger of losing his fortune and life.

From dawn to noon, he was at the helm in person, facing the vast sea.

At the moment when his chest was really jammed, Yan Siqi cried for the first time since he could remember.

Fortunately, a leaky boat is more reliable than a cool and thin person.

When this boatload of people who are estranged from each other, love and hate, and finally set foot on the solid continent with their lives in danger, the small victory that succeeded in escaping danger slightly washed the dull pain in Yan Siqi's chest brought about by the frustration of life.

】

At this moment, Zheng Haizhu's words made his heart beat again.

This woman did not seem to be very brave and resolute, and after the bloody battle, when hauling the corpse, she vomited several times, and her face turned pale.

But her brain, like a paddle wheel at the bottom of a boat, kept spinning all the time.

The idea of turning out, he can still talk about the key without nonsense, and the fire that has faintly bubbled out in his Yan Siqi's mind suddenly burns.

"Azhu, you're right. I spared Li Kokusuke's life and sent him back to Hirado Port at a time when my brothers and sisters in the Daisan Island Salt Works were in danger. My stepfather is a fair man, but in the Li family, there are many men with the surname Li. ”

Yan Siqi said this and sighed heavily.

Zheng Haizhu did not continue to discuss the matter.

For a man like Yan Siqi with a heroic background, there are some words, and it is enough for her to start.

Yan Siqi, however, walked sullenly for a while, and muttered again: "However, don't use the word 'occupy', if there is a new piece of heaven and earth, I will also bring my brothers to live in, instead of occupying it." ”

Zheng Haizhu looked up at him and said sincerely: "You can think like this, it is great wisdom, and villains will not understand." Fortunately, in this world, it may not be all villains. ”

……

After walking about a stick of incense, a few people came to the front of the big house.

The guard opened the gate, and the woman leading the way called "Grandma".

A blue-clothed woman with snow-white hair, on crutches, stood at a stone table.

Unlike most of the women seen in the village, the old woman did not have any colorful ornaments on her body, but Zheng Haizhu only felt that although the blue clothes were old, the texture was soft and dense, like cotton cloth, not hemp.

What's even more surprising is that the blue clothes are made in the style of the right side of the collar, a typical Han family clothes.

The old woman's face was wrinkled, her back was slumped, her palms and wrists were wrapped in dead branches like chicken skin, and only a pair of eyes were shining.

She obviously had received a detailed report, and first apologized to Yan Siqi: "The village guards were rude to Lang Jun and accused him of guilt. ”

He also said: "Two Langjun, this lady, in a vulgar place, there is no decent hospitality, the old man made some wild tea, and a few people deigned to drink a cup." ”

As soon as the old woman spoke, she not only spoke Chinese, but also had a bit of the pronunciation and tone of the official dialect of the Northland.

The three of them collected their surprise and saluted separately.

The old woman, like a man, naturally clasped her fist at Liu Shimin and asked him to sit on the top.

Liu Shimin didn't shirk either, said "Thank you grandma", and sat down with a smile.

He first led Yan Siqi and Zheng Haizhu, took a sip of tea to the old woman, and then asked Wen Yan, "Grandma is from the Han family?" ”

"It should be counted as half a Han person, it's a long story."

According to the old woman's words, three hundred years ago, the Great Song Dynasty perished in the Battle of Yashan, and some coastal Song people did not want to return to the Yuan people, so they immediately fled to the sea, and lived on the islands dotted with the East and South Seas, and some intermarried with the local natives.

"My great-grandfather, a man with the surname Wen, married the female elders of our Siraya settlement, gave birth to children, and until my mother's generation, she would also teach Chinese and Chinese poetry. As for me, because I can speak Chinese, I was a guide for a land-based visitor, and I was in love with him, and I also became a subordinate. I know that Yuan died and Mingxing was told by my husband. It's just that I don't know what the rules of calling guests are now, if there is something wrong, a few forgive me. ”

After all, the old woman was old, and her speech was weak, but her quiet and slow tone revealed kindness, which made the listener's heart calm.

Liu Shimin hurriedly bowed and said solemnly: "Where is Grandma, we listen to Lang Jun and Niangzi, which is quite ancient, and it is very useful." Grandma turned out to have the blood of the Great Song Yimin, disrespectful, disrespectful. ”

The old woman returned the salute and pointed to the woman who was leading the way beside her, saying, "This is my granddaughter." We, the Siraya people, originally only had a name, not a Han surname. But because we honor our mothers, we are also daughters who receive the goods of the house, pigs and sheep in the house. Therefore, I have the Wen surname of Gaozu, and my granddaughter, also surnamed Wen, you can call her Ah Kun, that is, there is a fish named Kun in the North Underworld. ”

As she spoke, the old woman's gaze fell on Zheng Haizhu's face: "This lady, I have to thank you, talk more about Chinese with my granddaughter, her generation, the tongue that speaks Chinese is no longer very sharp." ”

Zheng Haizhu nodded with a busy smile.

He was about to drag a wooden pier from behind him and invite Wen Akun to sit beside him, but he heard a terrible scream from behind the big house.
