The old captain's name is Mu Enli. The deputy captain's name was Mu Qinghai.
I heard that when Mu Qinghai was a baby, he was abandoned by someone near the pier, and later met by Mu Enli. Mu Enli, who was single and never married, resolutely adopted the child and named him Mu Qinghai.
In the beginning, besides being a cruise ship, the Baiyu would also take on some cargo work and long-distance voyages, so Mu Enli simply put Mu Qinghai on board to take care of her.
Although the father and son have their own properties in the city, as Mu Qinghai said, the White Jade is his home... In fact, there is nothing wrong with it.
He grew up on the ship until he was in school, and only after graduating did he return to work on the Baiyu. And because of his excellent work ability, he was promoted to the position of deputy captain at the age of thirty.
…
Taking off the hat on his head, the old captain Mu Enli put it next to him, then took out a stainless steel wine jug from his pocket, unscrewed the lid, and started to drink slowly by himself. .
This is the highest area that tourists on the Baiyu can use to look out, and further up is the place that can only be used by the crew.
At this time, there is no one around. Mu Enli sat on the bench in front of the guardrail, drinking wine while looking at his pocket watch, as if a little distracted.
"Dad, you are indeed here."
Mu Qinghai came from behind at this time.
Mu Enli put away his pocket watch and took another sip by himself without looking back. Mu Qinghai walked to the side of the old captain at this time, reached out and snatched his flagon, frowned and said, "The doctor said you can't drink."
"Take it back." The old captain stretched out his hand, but Mu Qinghai shook his head. The old captain glared at him, seemed to be a little drunk, and said angrily, "I have been at sea for more than 30 years, and I have drunk more wine than you! I know if there is anything wrong!"
"When did you become a stubborn old man?" Mu Qinghai sighed, but sat down.
The old captain snorted softly, turned around, leaned on the back of the stool, and turned his back to Mu Qinghai. Mu Qinghai said in a good voice, "Dad, didn't you agree to record the show well?"
The old captain said: "You agreed, but I didn't. I already said in the morning that I wouldn't take pictures of this... Don't mention the morning, I'll be angry if you mention it!"
Mu Qinghai said helplessly: "Dad, I was a little too talkative this morning, so calm down."
"That sounds nice." Mu Enli muttered, "What about the company's project? Don't think that I don't know that it was you who proposed it. It's just for meritorious service so that I can be promoted, right?"
Mu Qinghai frowned: "Dad, I'm your son, don't you want to see me that much?"
Mu Enli was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Where is a father who doesn't want to see his child well? I want to see you get married and start a business, I want to see your career succeed. I don't want to see you use this method... Qing Hai, you are too eager to beg It’s done. You’ve only arrived at the age of 30, and you’re already the vice-captain, and you’ll still have a lot of opportunities in the future, instead of spending your old man/son me right now!”
"Dad, how can you say that!" Mu Qinghai disagreed: "You have served on the Baiyu for thirty years, and you have worked hard. Everyone respects and respects you. Now that the Baiyu is about to retire, you will also soon I’m retired, so why not shoot a documentary, and when I get old and can’t walk anymore, I can still watch these memories, isn’t it good?”
"I can still walk! Eat well and sleep well! Don't worry!"
"Dad, can't we have a good talk?" Mu Qinghai said in a deep voice, "Ever since I came to work here, don't you think that we all quarreled that time? I know we have to distinguish between public and private. It’s understandable that you and I are superior and inferior. But I never thought of relying on your relationship! After I got on the ship, I started as the lowest-level waiter, and until now, I have been relying on myself Ability!"
"You are indeed a very competent vice-captain." Mu Enli shook his head and said calmly, "But you are not qualified to be a captain."
"You always deny me." Mu Qinghai squeezed his fists, "You have always denied me since you were young. In your eyes, I will never pass the exam... just because I am not your own?"
"What did you say! Say it again!" Mu Enli's eyes widened and he glared angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm talking too hard again." Mu Qinghai took a deep breath and stood up, "Captain, this filming is the intention of the company. The company asked me to take charge. I hope you don't make it difficult for me. Since you are also an employee of the company , please abide by the company's orders and do your part."
"Mu Qinghai, how dare you talk to me like that!" The old captain suddenly stood up with an angry look on his face.
"It's getting late, Captain, you should rest early. I will notify you before the shooting tomorrow," Mu Qinghai turned around, turned around and walked away from this place. He didn't look back at the end, but said softly One sentence, "Also, remember to take medicine."
Watching Mu Qinghai leave, the old captain gasped for breath, his face suddenly became extremely painful, he clutched his heart forcefully, and finally threw himself on the ground.
The old captain struggled to put his hand into his pocket, took out a medicine bottle, and quickly swallowed a few pills. But his face remained pale.
These medicines, which could relieve his symptoms, don't seem to be very used this time. The old captain felt as if his heart was about to burst, and the pain made cold sweat flow out of his body, and he felt more and more difficult to breathe.
But at this time, the old captain produced a burst of strength out of thin air, and once again grabbed the ready-to-use pill with trembling hands, wanting to swallow it into his mouth.
"Mr. Captain, if you eat these few pills again, you will die immediately... the medicine is three-part poisonous, you should be clear about it."
Suddenly there was a voice... a faint voice.
…
The old captain looked towards the voice with difficulty, and his consciousness began to be a little blurred... His vision was also blurred, and he could only vaguely see two figures, like a man and a woman.
"I...I can't...here...fall down..."
"Captain, you should have always had the habit of taking medicine indiscriminately, right? And you don't have alcohol. Your heart has reached its limit. If you take this medicine, you will die. If you don't take it, you probably won't be able to survive these two days. Probably Will be in a coma... leave."
People say that the older you are, the more you know your destiny, especially for those who are about to die, their perception is far more accurate than any most advanced medical equipment.
The old captain slowly stretched out his hand, and grabbed the night sky... It seemed that something in the night sky was reaching out to him.
He wriggled his lips, begging: at least... at least let him complete this voyage, at least let him accompany it on this last journey.
"Let me... let me... at least, give me... a few more... time..."
Mu Enli dropped his hands all of a sudden, and closed his eyes.
"I see...guest."
…
…
"Captain, captain, captain! Wake up! Wake up! Captain!"
The body was shaken, the old captain slowly opened his eyes, his vision gradually became clear, and he saw a young crew member.
"Captain! You're awake! Thank God! Captain, I'm on the medical team, come right here!" The crew breathed a sigh of relief.
With the help of the crew, the old captain sat up, and subconsciously reached out to touch his heart... For many years, he had never felt that the beating here was so energetic, and his breathing was unexpectedly smooth.
"Captain? I informed the deputy captain, and he said to come right away!"
"I'm fine." Mu Enli shook his head, stood up on his knees, picked up the captain's hat on the stool and put it on, "Don't make a fuss."
"Captain, but you just..." The crew wanted to say something else.
Mu Enli said, "Do you think I look like someone who has something to do?"
The crew was stunned for a moment... but found that the old captain's complexion really looked very good, and his energetic appearance seemed to be a few years younger.
"Still going back to your post?" The old captain suddenly shouted.
The crew members were taken aback, saluted subconsciously, and stood up straight, "Yes! I'll go back right away!"
"Wait." Mu Enli walked up to the crew member, stretched out her hand to straighten his hat, and turned over the neckline, and said in a deep voice, "Don't embarrass me!"
The crew raised their heads high again, not daring to take a breath... Captain Mu Enli is notoriously strict and rigid.
"Young man, do it well."
Mu Enli turned around and walked away from the young crew member with his hands behind his back.
