I slowly held her hand, tightened it and said, "Okay, since you are unwilling to tell me the truth, then you can go back and pretend that we have never met. The Jenny I know is a worthy person."
A trusted companion, someone who can share life and death with me..." When I said this, I got stuck. I don't know how to describe the relationship between me and her. This subtle relationship is what makes people most excited.
Headache problem.
"Forget it, let's not talk anymore. You have to leave anyway. Have a safe journey." After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the cabin.
But when I had just taken two steps, Jenny suddenly shouted, "loyalty..."
I stopped, looked at her sideways and asked, "What other instructions do you have?"
"I...I have my own difficulties. I hope you can understand me. Although we have not known each other for a long time, I know that you are a person I can rely on. Without you on this journey, I would have died long ago. Can I
It's my honor to know you." Jenny's voice was choked when she spoke. This was the scene I least wanted to see, but what she said today made me remember it. At least I left a good impression in her heart.
one side.
"Thank you, is this your last farewell? I still hope you can stay. We have experienced so much life and death along the way, and we have finally gotten here. How can you say you don't want to do it and just don't do it? You
I can do it, but I can't, and I also know that I'm not qualified to ask you to stay, so..."
I paused again, not because I was being pretentious, but because I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. At first, I planned to use my feelings to impress her, but unexpectedly, I was touched by myself first. It was an unbearable parting, which made me very sad.
Feeling distressed.
Jenny walked up to me, suddenly took my arm and said, "Actually... you are right, there are some things that should be completed. I... I think I'd better stay, after all... I am your boss
.”
"Really?" When she said that, I was overjoyed. I felt like I had won a big prize. It was the kind of joy that came from the bottom of my heart.
She nodded vigorously, "Well, I also want to see what secrets are hidden in this navigation chart."
"Then tell me, why did you leave before?" I haven't been overwhelmed by joy yet, I must know this matter.
Jenny looked at me and said seriously, "I...I can tell you, but you have to swear that you will never reveal this matter to anyone, including Jiao Ba."
"Why should I tell him? Believe me, I won't leak a word." I was somewhat excited. It seemed that Jenny's secret was about to be revealed, but at the same time, I was a little doubtful whether she would make up lies.
Are you here to lie to me? It seems I can only analyze it myself.
"Okay, come with me."
Jenny and I walked to the stern of the boat and stopped in a relatively hidden corner. It seemed that this matter was not that simple, otherwise she would not have chosen such a place to talk.
Jenny looked around, looking cautious. I patted her arm and said, "Don't worry, this is a blind spot. No one can hear you. You can speak now."
Jenny adjusted her hair and her face looked a little heavy. She looked at me and said after a few seconds, "Zhongyi, you must not tell this matter. I shouldn't have told you, but... I would rather bet
A handful, I choose to trust you."
I held her shoulders with both hands, looked into her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I have promised you. I will never let a third person know about this except you and me. You can trust me completely."
"Since I promised her, I must keep this secret, and men must keep their promises.
She nodded and asked quietly, "Do you know why I want to go to sea?"
I replied casually, "Why did you go to sea? Isn't it just to find treasures? In other words, to unlock the secret of your nautical chart." Although I said this, I could feel that something was wrong. If it was really that simple,
If so, she wouldn't be able to ask me.
Jenny shook her head gently and said, "No, you should be able to see that I am not a money-greedy person, and...I am not short of money either. As for the secret of this navigation chart, I don't even want to know, because I have nothing to do with it."
It doesn’t matter at all.”
"Isn't this something passed down from your ancestors? How can it have nothing to do with it?" I was suddenly confused as to what she meant by this.
"Zhongyi, let me tell you the truth, my purpose of going to sea... is actually to find my father." Jenny said seriously.
"You...what did you say? Looking for your father? This...what is this? Isn't your father the CEO of a listed company in the United States? Why does this have to happen again?" I can't even turn this corner.
, I never dreamed that she would go to sea to find her father. What kind of story is there? Things are getting really confusing.
"Yes, he is the boss of a listed company, but...he disappeared more than 20 years ago. My mother took over everything in the company. I went to sea just to find him." Jenny's expression was very bad.
,
"Jenny, are you telling the truth?" I still don't believe it. This change is too big. I always thought that she was just looking for treasure or some other purpose. I never thought that it was because she was looking for a person or her.
Father, this is a bit outrageous.
"What do you think? It's already here, do I need to lie to you?" She looked at me and said calmly.
"What...what the hell is going on? The matter is beyond my understanding." I laughed at myself. It was indeed difficult for me to understand.
"Do you still remember the two Chinese male corpses found in the coffin on the ancient ship?" Jenny asked.
"Of course I remember. How could I forget this? What do you mean...one of those two people is your father?" I thought of Jenny's expression at that time. She was crying and sad. Maybe it is possible, my
God, things are so unimaginable.
"You are very smart. Yes, one of the two corpses was my father. After seeing his corpse, I was very sad, really sad. Although... although I was mentally prepared, when
When I actually saw his body, I still couldn't believe that my father left like this."
"When I was very young, my father went to sea for more than 20 years. It was just to find him that I carried my mother to sea." When Jenny said this, her eyes were a little red,
There were tears in her eyes, but she was very strong and the tears did not flow down.
"But... according to what is recorded in the diary, it was in 1989. You were only three or four years old at the time. How could you remember your father's appearance?" I didn't doubt her words, but I hoped that she would
Make no mistake, maybe her father is still alive.
"You'll know after you look at this." She took out a photo from her pocket and handed it over.
I casually took the photo and looked at it. It was a black and white photo. Although the photo was a little worn, the man in the photo was still very clear. I recalled it and found that it was indeed one of the corpses at that time. It seemed that the thing was
Really, but what secret is hidden in this? How could Jenny’s father come to Ice City?
I calmed down and asked, "Jenny, what's going on here? Why did your father come to Ice City? Most people can't find this place."
We only managed to find this place by relying on the other half of the nautical chart we found in Zheng He's coffin. Without the nautical chart, it would have been impossible to find it. There must be something wrong with it. That fishing boat that went to sea in 1989 definitely wouldn't have found it.
Arrived here by chance.
"I don't know the specific things. I just heard my mother tell me..."
Jenny began to tell the origin and process of this incident. According to her, her ancestor was indeed Zheng He, and the nautical chart handed down at that time was a complete one, not a fragment. His father learned about this nautical chart.
It was not that simple, so he decided to organize a group of people to go to sea in 1989 to unlock the secrets of this nautical chart. However, his father was not the captain. The captain was an American and his father's best friend during his lifetime.
This was also Jenny's reaction after seeing the group photo for the first time. She recognized the captain at a glance. I have to say that this was also related to her memory ability, so that she could have such a deep impression as a child.
, it can be seen that the relationship between the captain and her father is very close, but she does not know how many people were there when he went to sea. His father never came back after he went to sea, and the complete navigation chart is
Then it disappeared.
At this time, I immediately interrupted her, "Jenny, is this a bit strange? If... your family has a complete nautical chart, and it was lost when your father went to sea, then the one you had in your hand before
Where did the half of the nautical chart come from? Also, we later found another half of the nautical chart in Zheng He's coffin. What happened? How many copies of this mysterious nautical chart are there?
?" This matter is getting more and more troublesome. I am a little confused. What went wrong? I can't react at the moment.
"I don't know how many there are in total. Anyway... the nautical chart that my father took away is indeed missing. The half of the nautical chart that I got before was probably... ten years later,
I was sent back by a stranger." Jenny said a little embarrassed.
"What are you talking about? Was that half of the nautical chart sent back ten years later? Or was it sent back by a stranger? This is wrong. Where did the half of the nautical chart in his hand come from?
Where is it? Didn't you know who the person who sent you the picture was?" I asked doubtfully, thinking about this matter over and over in my mind, but I barely had a clue, otherwise I would definitely be able to find clues.
