The logbook they found in the captain's room just now did not contain any valuable information. This diary might be an unexpected gain.
"Wow! Qiuqiu, you've found another important plot clue!" Tang Mianmian immediately came over, "Look, look! What's written on it? Read it out loud!"
Xiao Tangqiu opened the diary without hesitation. Unexpectedly, he could understand the words in the diary, although it was obviously not in Chinese.
"——X year X month X day
Our ship set off, and the captain got a treasure map. He said that if we could find the treasure, we would have endless wealth to enjoy for the rest of our lives. Perhaps we wouldn't have to go to sea anymore. I'm getting old, so it's time to go back home and get married..."
Tang Mianmian: "...Returning to my hometown to get married is such a classic idea! I can already predict what's going to happen next!"
Xiao Tangqiu smiled. Isn't this nonsense? If nothing happened to the ship, then what about this empty ghost ship?
"On X day of X month of X year, the sea was calm and nothing happened."
"X year X month X day, the sea is calm."
He flipped through the diaries, skipping over these meaningless ones and some trivial matters, and finally found a diary that seemed a little unusual: "X year X month X day, today the captain told us that we will soon reach the destination on the treasure map. I am very happy. If I find the treasure, I can use the money to open a small tavern in my hometown and then marry a beautiful wife. The captain said that my cooking skills are average, but my grilled fish skills are not bad. Maybe I can open a small tavern specializing in grilled fish in the future.
"Here it comes again! Double FLAG! This time it's settled! Something must be happening to their ship next!" Tang Mianmian said confidently.
Xiao Tangqiu continued to turn the page: "On X-month-X-day of X-year, we found the treasure!"
Tang Mianmian: "...What?! Found it!"
Xiao Tangqiu continued to flip through the pages: "...The captain promised to give each of us a large sum of money. Everyone was overjoyed. To celebrate finding the treasure, we planned to hold a grand banquet. The captain said the banquet would last for three days and three nights!"
Tang Mianmian looked shocked. "That's impossible! According to the routine, they can't possibly find the treasure!"
"Maybe something went wrong after they found the treasure," Xiao Tangqiu said calmly. He continued to flip through the pages, only to find that the next few pages were blank. It seemed that this guy had indeed been drunk for three days and three nights. Only after three days did some scribbled words finally appear in the diary. "...It seems something happened on the ship. A lot of food has disappeared, as has the gold that the captain distributed to the crew. Everyone says there's a thief on the ship, and everyone on board is starting to panic..."
Tang Mianmian nodded: "Human nature is greedy, it's normal."
Xiao Tangqiu nodded as well. He continued to flip through the pages, only to discover that the diary entries that followed had no dates written on them and large areas of blank space began to appear. Occasionally, after a few blank pages, some scribbled words and inexplicable graffiti would appear. Even the words were jumbled upside down, making it a bit confusing. After flipping through a few more pages, he finally saw a line of words he could understand: "The food on the ship is getting less and less, and many people's gold is missing, but we can't find our way home... My gold is gone! Who stole my gold? I'm going to kill him!"
