I slowly took her hand, squeezed it tightly, and said, "Okay, since you won't tell me the truth, then you can go back, because we have never known each other, and the Jenny I know is a trustworthy companion, a person who can share life and death with me..."

"Forget it, don't talk about it, you're going to go anyway, have a good trip." With that, I turned and walked back to the cabin.

But I had barely taken two steps when Jenny suddenly shouted, "Loyalty..."

I stopped, looked sideways at her and asked, "What other instructions do you have?" ”

"I... I have a hard time, I hope you can understand me, although we have not known each other for a long time, but I know that you are a person you can rely on, if there is no you along the way, I am afraid I would have died long ago, it is my honor to know you. Jenny's voice was a little choked, this was the last scene I wanted to see, but what she said today made me remember it, at least I left a good side in her heart.

"Thank you, is this your last goodbye? I still hope you can stay, we have experienced so many lives and deaths along the way, and it was not easy to get here, how can you say that you will not do it if you don't do it? You can do it, I can't, and I know I'm not qualified to ask you to stay, so..."

I paused again, not because I was pretentious, but because I was really uncomfortable in my heart, at first I was going to impress her with feelings, but I didn't expect it, but I moved myself first, it was an unbearable parting, which made me feel very distressed.

Jenny walked up to me, suddenly grabbed my arm and said, "Actually, you're right, there are some things that should be done, I... I guess I'd better stay, after all... I'm your boss. ”

"Really?" When I heard her say that, I was overjoyed, and I felt like I had won the jackpot, and it was that kind of joy from the bottom of my heart.

She nodded vigorously, "Well, I also want to see what kind of secrets this nautical chart hides." ”

"Then tell me, why did you leave before?" I haven't been carried away by joy yet, I have to know that.

Jenny looked at me and said seriously, "I... I can tell you, but you have to swear, you will never reveal this matter to anyone, including Jiao Ba. ”

"Why should I tell him? Trust me, I won't give out a word. "I was a little excited, it seemed that Jenny's secret was about to be revealed, but at the same time I was a little skeptical, would she make up a lie to deceive me? It seems that I can only analyze it myself.

"Okay, you come with me."

Jenny and I walked to the stern of the boat and stopped in a secluded corner, and it seemed that this matter was not so simple, otherwise she would not have chosen such a place to talk.

Jenny looked left and right, cautious, and I patted her on the arm and said, "Don't worry, it's a dead end, no one can hear it, you can say it now." ”

Jenny straightened her hair, her face looked a little heavy, she looked at me, and after a few seconds, she said, "Zhongyi, you must not say this matter, I shouldn't have told you, but... I'd rather gamble, I choose to trust you. ”

I put my hands on her shoulders, looked into her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I have promised you, I will never let a third person know about this matter except you and me, you can trust me." "Since I promised her, I must keep it a secret, and a man must keep his promise.

She nodded and asked in a low voice, "Do you know why I want to go to sea?" ”

I casually replied, "Why go to sea?" Isn't it just to find treasure? Or rather, to unravel the secrets of your home's nautical charts. "I said that, but I could feel that something was wrong, and if it were that simple, she wouldn't have asked me.

Jenny shook her head lightly and said, "Neither, you should be able to see that I'm not a money grubber, and... I am not short of money, and I don't want to know the secret of this chart, because it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Isn't this something from your ancestors? How can it not have the slightest relationship? I was a little confused, what did she mean by that?

"Zhongyi, let me tell you the truth, the purpose of my going to sea, actually... Actually, it was 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 publicly traded company in the United States? How did this come to this again? "I can't even turn this corner, I never dreamed that she would go to sea in search of her father, what kind of story is there? Things are getting messed up.

"Yes, he's the CEO of a listed company, but... He disappeared more than 20 years ago, and my mother took over everything in the company, and I went to sea to find him. Jenny's face was bad, "Jenny, are you telling the truth?" "I still don't believe it, it's changed so much, I always thought she was just for treasure or some other purpose, and I never thought it would be because she was looking for someone, or her father, it was a bit outrageous.

"What do you think? It's all about now, do I have to lie to you? She looked at me and said calmly.

"It's... What the hell is going on, it's beyond my comprehension. I laughed self-deprecatingly, which really made it hard for me to understand.

"Do you remember the two Chinese male corpses found in the coffins when you were on the ancient ship?" Jenny asked.

"Of course remember, how could this be forgotten, you mean... One of those two was your father? "I think of Jenny's expression, she was crying, she was sad, maybe it was possible, oh my God, it was unimaginable.

"You are very shrewd, that's right, those two corpses, one of them is my father, after seeing his corpse, I was very sad, really sad, although although I was mentally prepared, but when I really saw his corpse, I still couldn't believe it, my father, just left."

"When I was very young, my father went to sea, and this trip is more than 20 years, and I went to sea with my mother on my back to find him." When Jenny said this, her eyes were a little red, and tears were in them, but she was strong and the tears did not flow.

"But according to the diary, it was 89 years, and you were only three or four years old at most, how could you remember your father's appearance?" I didn't doubt her words, but I hoped she wouldn't be mistaken, maybe her father was still alive.

"Just look at this." She pulled a photo out of her pocket and handed it over.

I took the photo casually and looked at it, it was a black and white photo, although the photo was a little worn, but the man in the photo, it was still very clear, I recalled, sure enough, it was one of the corpses at that time, it seems that the matter is true, but what secrets are hidden in the middle? 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? This is a place that ordinary people can't find. ”

We relied on the other half of the nautical charts found from Zheng He's coffin to barely find here, if there were no nautical charts, it would be impossible to find them, there must be a problem with this, the fishing boat that went to sea in 89 will definitely not happen to arrive here.

"I don't know the specifics, but I still heard from my mother."

Jenny began to tell the cause and process of this incident, according to her, her ancestor was indeed Zheng He, and the navigation chart handed down at that time was a complete one, not broken, his father learned that this navigation chart was not so simple, so he decided to organize people to go to sea in 1989 to solve the secret of this navigation chart, but his father was not the captain of the ship, the captain was an American, and he was a friend of his father's life.

This is also Jenny's reaction after seeing the group photo for the first time, she recognized the captain at a glance, I have to say, this is also related to her memory ability, she can have such a deep impression when she was a child, it can be seen that the captain and her father are very close, but how many people went to sea, she does not know, since his father went to sea, he never came back, and the complete nautical chart, and disappeared.

At this point, I immediately interrupted her, "Jenny, is this a bit weird?" If you have a complete nautical chart at home and lost it when your father went to sea, where did you get that half of the nautical chart you had before? Also, we later found another half of the nautical chart in Zheng He's coffin, what is going on? How many of these mysterious nautical charts are there? "It's getting more and more troublesome, I'm a little messed up, what went wrong? I couldn't react for a while.

"I don't know how many there are, anyway, the nautical chart that my father took away is indeed missing, and the half of the nautical chart I got before was sent back by a stranger after ten years." Jenny said a little embarrassed.

"What do you say? The previous half of the nautical chart was sent back ten years later? Or was it sent back by a stranger? That's not right, where did the half of the nautical chart in his hand come from? Didn't you know who sent you the picture at the time? I asked suspiciously, pondering this matter over and over again in my mind, but I just had a clue, otherwise I would definitely find a clue.
