Honest Lies [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 246 - 250

Chapter 246: Diary of the Chief Engineer.

In a small room, the big light was turned off. There was only a desk lamp, illuminating the square-inch table top. There were several horizontal cracks on it, and there were dark cracks that even the light could not penetrate.

A dark shadow pressed over heavily.

It was a man who took the key to open the locked drawer of the table and took out a thick notebook.

The shadow opened the book, revealing the yellowed old paper sandwiched in the book. This book seems to contain a lot of these things, making it seem unusually heavy. The shadow picked up the paper and shook it out. On the front of the paper, "engine log" was written.

Engine log:

Voyage 8 March 31, 1976

Host

generator prime mover

distribution board

…

duty officer

Person on duty: Yang Jie Successor: Zhao Dasheng

Event: Conflict with captain

The shadow turned over the voyage record from 40 years ago. On the back of the log, there were actually several pieces of diary writing stuck on it. The paper in the diary was also yellowed. The time written on it was also 1976.

The light reads out the contents of the diary silently.

March 23, 1976

...It’s time for a boring voyage again. Get up, check the equipment, and see the same sky and ocean as yesterday. In the process of passing away, it’s like tearing off a piece of light calendar paper, tearing off one day of your precious life. Such extravagant waste and extreme boredom will continue for another year, and life will be wasted like this until old age. As a result, looking back on the past, life is meaningless and I dare not think deeply about it.

As I wrote this line, I had no idea that just ten minutes later, I would get the biggest surprise of this trip.

During my routine inspection of the ship's power equipment, I discovered Miss Huo, Boss Huo's daughter, Huo Qiying, hiding in the box.

At that moment of impact, the impoverished beggar dug up a box of gold, and the traveler hiking in the desert saw a clear spring. This kind of excitement that reaches the soul comes not only from this unexpected meeting that is like the plot of a novel, but also from Miss Huo's beauty.

While I was still in shock, Ms. Huo recognized me and cried to me, crying about the strictness of her parents, the oppression at home, and the sadness of being buried in a grave before she had seen the world.

Of course I know that those of us who are lucky enough to have been to Boss Huo's house all know that Boss Huo is very concerned about his daughter, but in the past I always thought that this was inevitable. 'There is nothing wrong with beauty, but those who covet it are wrong.' , this kind of words are just casual remarks by a bystander who is far away from the whirlpool. In the whirlpool, Boss Huo wants to protect his family and daughter, so he uses secular methods to control his daughter. There is not much to criticize. For example, a person who is extremely wealthy will inevitably suspect that everyone who passes by him is a robber or thief.

But in secular terms, the lives of the vast majority of people are so mediocre and boring!

When Miss Huo appeared in front of me in person and talked to me, I found that I could not judge this matter rationally, nor could I use the correct but mediocre approach in the world (that is, inform the captain of Miss Huo's existence and ask the captain to turn around Returning, we have just set off for two days, turning around at this time will not affect anything) to solve this matter.
