The wheels of history always have amazing coincidences, such as the unavoidable sinking of the Titanic, the annihilation of the guarantor team headed by Thomas Andrew, the shortage of lifeboats and the inability of the Californian, which was more than ten nautical miles away, to come to the rescue in time.

However, the first one to arrive at the scene was still the Carpathia of Cunard Company, but it came much earlier than history, much earlier.It arrived at the scene within 10 minutes of the sinking of the Titanic. This speed simply made countless people thank God, thank Captain Arthur, and thank Andrew for the telegram.

Followed by the Canadian company's cruise ship, they all received a wireless telegram from Andrew for help the day before the Titanic sank.

The Carpathia is one of them. After receiving Andrew's telegram, it slowed down its pace towards its destination, and instead began to approach the Titanic. It planned to escort the Titanic for a while before continuing its voyage. The passengers on board were taken to the Mediterranean Sea to escape the cold.

The distress call before the sinking of the Titanic made the slow-moving old ship come madly.In order not to delay the rescue time, the captain turned off all heating, hot water and all steam energy on the ship almost immediately.It finally arrived within 10 to 900 minutes after the ship sank, more than an hour earlier than in history, and this hour, the cruise ship cooperated with another cruise ship that came later to pick up more than [-] people from the sea.

These include more than 300 crew members on board, most of them from Southampton.

Carl told me these things when I woke up.

Because it is still on the rescue ship, the specific death toll has not been counted.

An early telegram from Andrew saved nearly a thousand people, but he himself was buried forever in the Atlantic Ocean.

Those who survived may not be able to forget the huge disaster of the Titanic for the rest of their lives.

I woke up and fell asleep intermittently on the rescue boat, often not remembering where I was, but Cal was always the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.

It was hard to endure the pain for a few days, and it was not until I finally stabilized that I was told that my leg bone was broken.The surgeon of the Carpathia suggested that I give up the dance industry, because he thought that even if my feet recovered to the point where I could jump and jump, the injury would probably recur if I really started dancing training in the future.

This is not the first time I have received the conclusion that I have given up dancing. The difference is that my previous life was really hopeless, but now my feet can actually return to their original state after a long period of rehabilitation.

For me, it's worth the pain of a relapse at the end just to get back on my feet again.No matter how much time and pain I had to go through, I could never give up dancing.

Carl also heard the doctor's suggestion. He watched the old poodle lead the doctor out, touched his chin which was slippery after just shaved, looked at me sadly and said, "Don't worry, it will be easy when you get off the boat." There are better doctors, and the ship doesn't even have a first-class cabin, so it's hard to believe their doctors are any better."

"You should give a trophy to the captain of this ship. He saved us." If the Carpathia hadn't arrived at the crash site an hour earlier, Karl and I might not have survived the cold time.

"A trophy or a medal is what the committee should prepare. We are the victims. These are what they should do." Carl stretched out his fingers and pinched the hair on my pillow. The hair was a little dull, just like my The same haggard state. "I should complain to them, it's too late."

Carl looked serious. Although he cleaned himself up, the fatigue in his eyes still existed.This exhaustion is mixed with the horror of the aftermath, the trembling after the disaster.

I stretched out my hand and put it on the back of his hand, "It's a lot earlier."

The rescue ship was really much earlier, which is a completely different result from history.

Carl suddenly stopped, and there was an obvious struggle on his face. This struggle was composed of doubts, arguments, and relief.

It was a strange expression, and even the muscles on the back of his hands tensed up.Then I heard him finally speak, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he squeezed out the words a little crookedly, "How do you know?"

I was confused, "Huh?" I didn't know what he was asking for a moment.

"You know the specific sinking time of the Titanic. Even if someone deliberately sank it, it is impossible to be specific to that point." Carl's eyes drooped and he stared down at me.Looking down from this angle is actually very oppressive. Of course, he carefully put away that feeling, but he was very cautious, with a gentle expression that didn't care about my answer.

I looked at him blankly, in an eerie silence.The atmosphere seemed too oppressive in this silent staring, and Carl couldn't stand it soon. He shook his head and said, "If you don't want to say it, I don't care..."

I finally couldn't hold back my face and showed a smile, "I'm not a commercial spy."

This guy is still wondering if I am a special trainer from some company. I think it is better to clarify this misunderstanding quickly.

"It's just that things are incredible. I don't think normal people would believe what happened to me." The experience of time travel and rebirth in a different place is even more bizarre than a dream.

Carl looked disapproving, touched his nose and said, "I have experienced even more incredible things, and nothing can scare me."

The muscles on the back of his hand couldn't relax at all. I didn't expose his nervousness of wanting to get an answer. I turned my head and looked at the lamp that was turned on above the second-class bed, and the white light was reflected in my pupils. "I come from a hundred years later..."

This sentence is similar to dream talking, mumbling fairy tales.

I come from a hundred years later, an almost impossible miracle.

All of Karl's little movements stopped, he probably couldn't understand what I was saying, because the beginning of this sentence was as strange as reading a novel.

Then I fell silent, not knowing what to do next, tell him about my family, my career, or something invented by the earth 100 years later?They didn’t seem to be in tune. After thinking for a while, I repeated the same sentence after I opened my mouth, “I’m from a hundred years later…” I hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, “It’s only been a few months since I came here, and everyone in the future will know The Titanic sank, it was famous, it was made into a movie..."

And you are a small character in the movie... I dare not say this kind of thing, his role in the movie is not a decent image.

"A hundred years later?" What is this thing?There were 1 question marks clearly in Karl's eyes, and he said with some amusement, "Then do you know what will happen tomorrow? If you are a businessman, you can get rich immediately, because you know what will happen next."

I looked at his unbelievable but very gloating face, endured it and gritted my teeth and said: "I'm really sorry, according to the time, I will not be born tomorrow, if you really count, you are more than a hundred years older than me." , Grandpa."

And if you want me to tell what dancers survive in this era, it is no problem, but if you want me to tell what the stock market trend is in this era, I can only be blind.However, the [-] stock market crash was mentioned in the Titanic, and Ruth once said that he committed suicide in that disaster.

Gripping his fingers so hard, I couldn't imagine his death, it was so horrifying.

"I'm not a hundred years old." Carl was still teasing this topic in a relaxed tone. He might not want to make the atmosphere serious, because what I said was completely beyond his expectations.

"Then try to live to be a hundred years old, and stay with me." I said to him with a smile. In the future, I will often talk about later things, such as the February [-]th stock market crash, the Great Depression, and other barely-impressive histories.

Even if he really goes bankrupt, so what, I am confident that I can accompany him through any storms and not give him any chance to give up on himself.

Carl struggled with my words. It was almost impossible for him to accept this kind of thing quickly.Before he could come to any conclusion, Lovejoy had already knocked on the door and came in, still with that expressionless expression on his face.I heard that he also fell into the water. If the rescue ship hadn't arrived in time, he might have frozen to death in the Atlantic Ocean.

"Boat in port, we're in New York, sir."

At 18 p.m. on April NO.[-], the Carpathia finally arrived in New York.

Carl simply asked me, "Would you like to see the United States, my territory." Before I could answer, he picked me up with a quilt and walked out.Outside the cabin, heavy icy rain floated over the entire port, and the lifeboat of the Titanic was placed on the deck, which was pulled up by the rescuers of the Carpathia.

Many people, almost all the passengers on the Titanic, gathered on the deck, holding black umbrellas and looking up at the Statue of Liberty.

The port is brightly lit and full of people, and you can almost see the scene of the day the Titanic set sail.The difference is that the glamorous living people are greeted on the day of departure, but the refugees who have experienced disasters are greeted at the destination.

Lovejoy raised the umbrella over our heads, and I rested my head on Carl's chest, listening to his heartbeat and looking out at the robed Statue of Liberty, torch-bearing.

The Statue of Liberty doesn't look like it's changed, either now or a hundred years from now.

"Will you disappear?" Carl suddenly asked in a low voice, his voice was so small that it was almost covered by the noise of the heavy rain.

I listened to his quickening heartbeat, which was like a drumbeat, and he began to run warmly.

Someone on the deck suddenly shouted: "America!" This voice penetrated the rain, time and space, and reached the hearts of every immigrant.

A familiar voice shouted from the lower deck, "Hey, Emily, we're here."

I turned my head and looked down to see Jack, without an umbrella, standing in the rain looking up at me, with one hand pointing at the Statue of Liberty.The rain trickled down his face and into his smiling mouth.

"Jack." Ruth hurried to him with a scarf on her head and an umbrella. Before she could stand still, Jack had already picked her up and circled her.

What a pair of living treasures.

I looked at the light above the head of the Statue of Liberty, as if I could see my future, even if there might be dark clouds and heavy rain, it would definitely bring light.

"No, I'm not going away, Carl," I told him, and to myself, adapting lines that Jack didn't use, "Exchanging your watch for a ticket to the Titanic is what I've done all my life. The luckiest decision ever, even though you look like a disaster."

The meeting in a disaster, the love like a disaster, and the unfortunate experience of a shipwreck are really not good fairy tales.

"It sounds so unfortunate, you will always be with a disaster in the future." Carl said dissatisfiedly, his face was expressionless, and he glanced at me, "I will remember that you stole my watch and exchanged it for a boat ticket. "

I closed my eyes and listened to his accelerating heartbeat, a scorching temperature slowly climbed up the back of my neck.

"After you get off the boat, you can't think about it anymore. Let's take care of your body. You don't have to worry about other things. I will solve some small problems as soon as possible, and then we will get engaged first, Emily?" Carl was afraid that I couldn't hear you. , call me.

"Yeah." I hummed softly as he wished.

"I will pick a good date. If it goes well, we can get married by the end of the year... Emily."

I lay in his arms with peace of mind, and was about to fall asleep. It took a long time before I continued to hum, "Yeah."

"If you can't dance, I'll open a dance school for you, and you can dance as long as you say, Emily?" His voice dropped, and he couldn't bear to disturb me any more.

Um.I almost fell asleep in his warm arms.

The rain is still falling, the boat has finally reached its destination, and no matter what happens tomorrow, at least those who are alive tonight look at the statue of the goddess with the hope of freedom.

"We can have a baby soon..." Carl said cautiously, trying to keep hearing the response, "Emily?"

I fell silent and silent, and fell asleep.
