Yang Heng asked Tian Deli to lead two men over the vanguard in front and look for a guide in the village. The two men led were Guo Yanqi, a Fujianese, and the other was Lin Shifa from Chaozhou. It was because most of the Chinese here in Luzon came from Fujian, and the Chinese in Luzon spoke Fujian. In addition, there were also some Chaozhou people among Luzon. Based on the principle that they could communicate smoothly no matter where they met Chinese from, Yang Heng sent three representatives, whether they were the Ming Dynasty, Min and Chao languages, all of them were killed.

Unfortunately, the three of them did not understand the indigenous language. The indigenous people in the village were obviously hostile. No matter how Tian Deli gestured, the indigenous people just stared at them vigilantly, either shaking their heads or rumbling, which made Tian Deli extremely depressed.

Tian Deli tried to keep a smile as much as possible. Although his smile was a little stiff, it could convey enough kindness after all. However, when he met one native to the other, he tried to ask something, but he hit a wall without exception. After asking for a long time, he didn't get anything. It was really unlucky!

Tian Deli was a little desperate, but he still didn't give up. At this time, he saw a boy with a thin and dark skin. Tian Deli hurriedly ran over and was about to open a gap in the boy. Tian Deli tried his best to squeeze out a smile, then took out a few biscuits from his pocket, stuffed one into his mouth with his left hand, and handed the remaining biscuits to the boy with his right hand. The boy looked at Tian Deli suspiciously, took the biscuits, and tried to stuff them into his mouth and bite a small piece. After tasting the sweetness, the hostility in his eyes disappeared, and finally his white teeth showed his chuckling.

Tian Deli immediately struck while the iron was hot, repeating "Manila, Manila" desperately. The boy didn't understand his intentions, so Tian Deli had to use a branch to draw a square thing on the ground. It was obvious that Tian Deli wanted to draw a castle, but what Tian Deli drew was only a square. To be honest, it was hard to remind people of the castle. Tian Deli had to point to the square shape he had drawn and repeat "Manila" over and over again. In addition to repeating "Manila", Tian Deli couldn't think of anything else to say to the child. Looking at the boy's confused eyes, Tian Deli was really desperate, shook his head, and wasted a lot of heartache.

.Guo Yanqi took Tian Deli's branches and brushed the battlements on the square shapes drawn by Tian Deli, and drew the battlements of the city walls. Well, it looked a bit like a castle. Then Guo Yanqi drew an arrow pointing to the castle in the square, then grinned at the boy, and repeated "Manila" in Fujian language. Sadly, the boy still did not respond, and Guo Yanqi no longer had any hope. Seeing this, Lin Shifa decided to try Chaozhou dialect, and he also repeated "Manila" in Chaozhou dialect. Unexpectedly, after the fifth time, the boy reacted. The boy rumbling for a while, pointed to the mountain behind, and ran away.

The three of them looked up the mountain and found that on the mountain, a house could be seen faintly hidden in the woods, but they didn't know who lived there. Maybe the people inside knew what was going on in Manila? The three of them were ignited again.

The three of them went straight to the mountain without hesitation. When they got close, they found that the house was different from the huts of the natives at the foot of the mountain. The house was made of stones, and lime mortar was used between the cracks of the stones. The outside of the house was surrounded by fences. Although the roof was covered with thatch, it was obviously higher than that of the natives who built walls with mud. Especially in front of the door, there were stones all the way. Tian Deli didn't know the idiom "winding paths and secluded", but the house was built with some particularity, and it seemed that the hermit was living inside. Tian Deli couldn't help but tidy up his military uniform and then stepped forward.

Before Tian Deli could approach, a dog began to bark wildly.

Tian Deli was very good at dealing with the gatekeeper dog. He threw a cake over. The dog smelled the fragrance and immediately rushed over, biting the cake in one bite, and still barking in a muffled voice. Tian Deli didn't care how the dog barked, opened the fence door and went straight to knock on the door.

At this time, the door opened with a creaking sound, and a man walked out. The two of them were both "Huh" and both showed surprise. This man looked not native at first sight, and his skin color was the same as himself. He was about forty or fifty years old. Tian Deli thought that this man was probably Chinese, but he must not be a Japanese. The man saw three young people of the same skin color standing at the door, wearing uniform green clothes, holding muskets he had never seen before, and was stunned on the spot, thinking, could these three people come from the Ming Dynasty?

At this time, Guo Yan clasped his fists and asked in Fujian language:

"I'm sorry, I'm disturbing! Are you from China?"

Hearing this, the man felt joy on his face, and then he realized something and showed a look of caution again, as if he was worried that the three of them would be unfavorable to him. Guo Yanqi saw that the other party had obviously reacted just now, so he continued:

"I don't know why you live in seclusion here, but please rest assured! If you guess well, you are all from China, just like you. I'm brave enough to ask you for some advice."

The man finally relaxed his expression and replied in Fujian:

"What do you want to ask? I wonder if the grass people can answer it."

Tian Deli and the other two were overjoyed when they heard this. Finally, they met a Chinese in a foreign country. At this time, they felt like they met a relative. Guo Yanqi immediately said:

"Your Excellency, don't be surprised. The three of you are all soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. This time you came to Luzon to protect the Chinese in Luzon. You are about to rush to Manila and get lost here, so you come to ask you how to go to Manila? Oh, my surname is Guo, this surname is Tian, ​​and this surname is Lin, so you are polite!"

The three of them clasped their fists at the same time, and the man quickly replied:

"Three soldiers are polite! Please come into the house and sit down! My surname is Lin, I wonder if this brother named Lin is Shuangmulin?"

While speaking, he led three people into the door. Tian Deli and Guo Yanqi followed the man named Lin into the house, while Lin Shifa stayed outside the door to guard.

Guo Yan thought to himself that this person was also surnamed Shuangmulin? He quickly replied:

"It's Shuangmulin, and his hometown is Chaozhou, Guangdong." Guo Yanqi only knows that many Chaozhou people have arrived in Luzon. Among the Chinese in Luzon, most of them are Chaozhou people, but they don't know if the people named Lin are from Fujian or Chaozhou?

The middle-aged man surnamed Lin smiled and said:

"I didn't expect to meet a fellow Chaozhou villager, but it's still the home. Brother Lin, hurry up and sit in the house!"

Lin Fa learned that this brother Lin was also from Chaozhou, so he answered in Chaozhou dialect:

"Brother Lin, I won't enter the door when I'm down. I'm down and I'm down and I'm going to watch it outside in case of an accident."

When Tian Deli saw that even the fellow villager had climbed up, he quickly stood up and said:

"Brother Lin, please come in and talk to Brother Lin, I'll be on guard."

As the saying goes, "When fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, they cry!" When the Chaozhou people meet the Chaozhou people, the situation is even more different. This brother Lin was originally named Lin Yinzhe. When he heard that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to protect the Chinese, he burst into tears. When he talked about the love-loving, he actually claimed to be Lin Feng's grandson, and completely forgot that Lin Feng, the pirate who had been rampant on the sea in the past, was a criminal in the Ming Dynasty.

According to Lin Yinzhe, in the fifth year of Wanli, Lin Feng saw that the situation was too far away, and he set foot on Luzon Island with his wife and children again. However, this time he was fleeing, but he did not lead more than 60 warships to expedition to Manila like in the second year of Wanli. This time, Lin Feng chose to land in the eastern part of Luzon, hidden his identity, and settled in the indigenous areas. Relying on the muskets in his hand and generous gifts, Lin Feng and the local indigenous people lived in peace and lived for more than ten years.

Seeing that the three sons grew up, the eldest son was already eighteen years old, and the place where they lived was surrounded by indigenous people, the marriage of their sons became a problem. Lin Feng would never let his sons marry local indigenous women. Given that they had been safe for more than ten years, the three sons changed their names and surnames to Manila. With Lin Feng's old capital, they slowly started a business in Manila. It must be said that the sons had inherited Lin Feng's business talents and did a good job in the business. The three sons all started their families and started their own businesses in Manila. Lin Yinzhe was the second son, born in the 24th year of Wanli, that is, 1596. Lin Feng did not go to Manila, but continued to live in the indigenous territory in the east. The children and grandchildren would come back to visit Lin Feng every year, which comforted Lin Feng, who was gradually aging.

Unexpectedly, in 1603, the Spaniards actually made excuses for the Chinese to rebel, and the Chinese in Manila were almost slaughtered. In the crisis, Lin Yinzhe's father risked his life to hold Lin Yinzhe and ran away. The father and son escaped by chance. Lin Yinzhe's uncles died in this massacre, and their children did not escape, and they must have died in this massacre.

Lin Feng and his wife suffered this blow and died within a year. Lin Yinzhe's father was also in a slump. After pulling Lin Yinzhe to the age of fifteen, he was still sick and let go. Lin Yinzhe lived here alone for more than 30 years, and no one could communicate with each other for more than 30 years, but he learned the indigenous language. Speaking of the Chinese language that Lin Yinzhe has spoken for more than 30 years, it may not be as much as he has said today.

The three of them sighed when they heard this!

But when it comes to how to go to Manila, Lin Yinzhe couldn't say anything. Since he was seven years old, his family has never been to Manila again. Lin Yinzhe only knew that Manila was southwest, and as for how to go, he could only ask while walking.

When Yang Heng saw this Lin Yinzhe, he comforted the lonely man who lived alone in the world and told him that the famous pirate Zheng Zhilong has changed his course and become the chairman of the Ming Federation of Industry and Commerce, so Mr. Lin didn't have to worry about anything at all. If Lin Feng had lived first, he would also be among the Ming protection. Yang Heng also admired Lin Feng in his heart. If Lin Feng had conquered Manila in one go, or if the Ming Dynasty did not work with Spain to wipe out Lin Feng, Lin Feng might be able to separatist the country in Luzon, and there might not have been the bloody massacre of the Chinese. Well! This is the case in the world, which is regrettable.

When Mr. Lin saw that the young Ming officer easily took off Nazu's hat as a "rebel" and immediately reciprocated his favor, saying that he could help the Ming Expeditionary Force. Lin Yinzhe told Yang Heng that there were some Chinese people living on an island that was a day away from here. The ancestors of these people were originally under Lin Feng. Later, Lin Feng failed, and they no longer regarded Lin Feng as their heads and became deserters, so Lin Feng never contacted him. However, after his father arrived in Manila, he had some contact with them. After his grandfather passed away, Lin Yinzhe had been to Manila and knew that these Chinese people were going to Manila for many years. If they were found, they would be able to go to Manila smoothly.
