[Titanic] I can't help myself

There are first-class passengers wearing dresses inside and white life jackets outside. Some of them are chatting relaxedly, while others are complaining endlessly.

I watched Mrs. Brown stop a waiter hurrying by, her thick fur coat over her lifejacket, looking bulging and bloated like a ball.

"Hey, what the hell is going on here? We're wasting time wearing this?" I could hear her yelling from afar.

The waiter almost fell down, said something quickly, bowed profusely with sweat, turned and ran up the stairs.

The staff on the ship seemed to be in a catastrophe, and my heart sank. It seemed that the condition of the Titanic was indeed very bad, and the ship was likely to sink.

Mrs. Brown complained unhappily, and after a hasty greeting, she passed by.

The mother also seemed a little impatient, "It doesn't look like a big deal." She put on her gloves and said to the maid who was holding the life jacket for her, "Go back and turn on the stove, I will drink tea later."

"Wait," I called out to them, "you don't have to go back. Mom, I don't think you'll have a chance to go back for tea. But if there's anything else you need to bring and forgot in the room, you should still have time to go back Take it."

My mother gave me a strange look and shook her head: "There is nothing to bring. Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know. But I really hope it's not like I think." I sigh.

We were about to go upstairs when we saw Mr. Andrews walking over with a hesitant face. His face was pale and his steps were heavy and slow, like a ghost.

Rose walked over to stop him.

"I saw an iceberg. Your eyes also tell me that this is not my illusion." She said softly.

I turned to look at her.iceberg?

"Please tell me the truth!" Rose looked up at him.

Mr. Andrews was frightened at first, turned around suddenly, held Rose's arm, and then looked at the other passengers around vigilantly.Seeing that no one was paying attention here, he walked down the steps and pulled Rose aside.I also followed.

"The ship is sinking," said Mr. Andrews sadly.

"Are you sure?" I confirmed in a low voice.

Mr. Andrews swallowed, looked at the passing passengers, and said softly, "In about an hour, all of this will sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean."

We all looked at him in shock.

"Why did the ship sink? What happened to her?" I pressed.

"Because it hit an iceberg, the damage to the hull is too great. The bow of the ship has already started to sink." Mr. Andrews sighed heavily, and followed up with instructions, "Please only tell those close to you, I don't want to cause panic. "

Rose covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Get on the lifeboat, don't wait any longer." His voice suddenly became very soft, "Remember what we talked about about the lifeboat?"

Rose put down her hand slowly: "Remember." Her voice was also so soft that it was almost inaudible, "I understand."

Mr. Andrews nodded, showing a bleak smile, and then turned around and left immediately as if he had exchanged some secret signal.

"Rose," I whispered, "what were you talking about?"

Rose stared at the floor for a while, then replied: "There are not enough lifeboats. It can only carry half of the passengers at most." She slowly raised her head to look at my face, "That is to say, half of the passengers They must be abandoned. They... they will die with Titanic in this freezing water."

"My God." I closed my eyes and digested the news.

Who will be dropped?I guess it's a third-class passenger.Suddenly at this moment, I am shamelessly grateful that I am a first-class passenger.

We went upstairs at once and waited in the hall on the deck of the lifeboat.

Most people probably don't know what happened, or in other words, they know what happened, but they are not in a hurry.They looked relaxed and calm.The band is still playing cheerful and relaxing music, and waiters with plates are passing through the crowd.Everyone tasted the fine wine and chatted happily, and there was no sign that the ship was about to sink.

No matter how urgent the situation, give them enough time and space to be graceful.

Mother frowned slightly, a little worried, but not nervous.She clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, watching the lifeboat slowly getting ready outside the window in a daze.Then we stepped onto the deck at the urging of the crew.

One of the crew shouted for us to gather around him and be quiet and listen to him.

"Very good." When everyone quieted down and looked at him, he said, "Very good. Next, let the women and children get on board first."

I felt like my heart was being squeezed, and the cold air tonight seemed to hide countless sharp knives, which made people feel a dull pain.

So it was the men who were given up.

The captain who made this decision was undoubtedly a true gentleman with high moral character.But I don't want to die.

As soon as the crew member finished speaking, whispers broke out in the crowd.Some people looked ignorant and didn't quite understand what it meant. They thought it was just another formal courtesy of a gentleman, letting women and children aboard first, and then letting them aboard.But some people have already understood, some people's faces are full of shock and disbelief afterward, while some slowly calm down, showing a determined expression.

Mother's eyes widened, and her lips began to quiver.She held my hand tightly. I never thought she would have such great strength. Even through thick gloves, her slender and slender fingers still strangled my hand like steel bars. It hurts me so much.Looking at the ladies and children boarding the lifeboat one by one in front of her, and the wives hugging their husbands on the deck and crying, her breathing became heavier and heavier.

"When can gentlemen come aboard?" Karl asked the crew who were directing the aboard.

"Sorry, sir, but only women and children are allowed on board at this time."

"Are there classifications for lifeboats?" Mother asked immediately, "Are lifeboats allocated according to the level of the guests?"

"No, ma'am." The crew replied briefly, busy helping the ladies on board.

The mother's hand tightened instantly, and after a long time, she smiled stiffly and said, "Really. I really hope the boat won't be too crowded."

"Mom! Stop it!" Rose yelled with an unbelievably shocked look on her face, grabbed her mother's arm, and pulled her to turn to herself, "Don't you understand? The sea is cold, and there are not enough lifeboats, half the number ! Half the people on this ship will die!"

"Rose!" I slapped her hand away and said impatiently, "How can you talk to Mom in such a tone!"

She probably thought her mother's words sounded cruel and unfeeling.Half the people are doomed to die, and my mother only cares about whether she will sit with the lower class and whether the space on the boat is comfortable.

But I know what my mother is thinking.She wanted to know if I could get on the boat.If the lifeboats are allocated according to class, then after all the first-class female passengers are on board, if there is room, then I can go aboard.

This question sounds ridiculous, but she dare not let go of a chance to survive for me.

I held her hand back and gently patted the back of her hand with the other hand to comfort her.

Mrs. Brown enthusiastically helped the ladies onto the boat, then jumped into the lifeboat, turned around and extended her hand to her mother: "Come on, Ruth, the first-class passengers are here."

My mother held my hand tightly and grabbed the hem of the skirt. As she prepared to board the boat, she asked the crew with a smile, "Can my son also board the boat? He is only 15 years old, and he is not yet an adult."

The crew member glanced at me and said blankly, "Sorry, ma'am, I'm afraid your son does not belong to the category of children."

"He's only 15 years old! The country won't even allow a child of this age to serve in the army!" The mother immediately became excited, "You can't..."

"Mom, Mom!" I put my arms around her shoulders and comforted her softly, "Mom, get on the boat first, I'll wait."

"I'll take care of him." Carl immediately took my words, holding his mother's hand and said, "He'll be fine, I promise."

My mother was gasping for breath, and her eyes kept wandering between Carl and me.

"You promise?" she asked in a low voice.

"I promise." Carl nodded with a smile, "There will be a place. It's just that it will be later, and some connections will be added." His last sentence was very low.

My mother nodded and touched my face again: "Don't be too late. Don't make me worry too much." She kissed my cheek heavily, "I'd rather you were not so gentleman, you understand?"

"I understand." I also kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear, "I want to live too. See you later, Mom."

I helped my mother onto the boat, and she kept holding my hand until the crew reminded her that I had blocked others, and then she reluctantly let go.

"You promised." She mouthed me, staring firmly into my face.

I smiled at her pretending to be relaxed and nodded.

"So you mean, my husband can't board the ship?" A slightly old voice rang out. It was Mrs. Strauss who had already sat down on the lifeboat. Her husband owned a huge department store. company.

The crew hesitated for a moment, and looked back at Mr. Strauss who was standing on the deck. He was an old gentleman who was almost 70 years old, and his hair was almost all white.

"Theoretically yes," said the crewman.

Mrs. Strauss immediately stood up, lifted her skirts and jumped onto the deck.

"Ada, what are you doing, go back quickly, don't waste time." Mr. Strauss frowned and said, holding his wife's arm, intending to push her back.

"If you don't go, I won't go." Mrs. Strauss grabbed his arm with her backhand and led him into the hall. "Nothing can separate us. Come on, dear, let's go inside and stand Being here would get in the way of their work."

Mrs. Strauss half dragged her husband away, and they had been arguing about it all the way.Seeing this scene, all the passengers standing on the deck understood what they were about to face.Many women cried on the spot.Rose looked at the back of the elderly couple, her eyes were red.

However, the shock that this couple who love Jin Jian brought to everyone did not last too long. Right now, escape is the most important thing.

After Mrs. Brown helped another lady to go down, she extended her hand to Rose on the deck: "Come on, Rose, there is still room here."

"Rose." I nudged her back with my hand, "Hurry up and get on the boat, don't waste time."

She hesitated and looked at me hesitantly, as if something was preventing her from getting on the boat.

"I...I..." She opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she just kept repeating meaningless words, "I...I can't..."

"Miss, please hurry up." The crew urged, "Everyone is waiting. Don't waste time."

"Come on, Rose, don't worry about us." I increased the strength of my hand, pushing her to stumble a bit.

"I..." Rose suddenly turned around and grabbed my wrist, "Jack, he..."

At this moment, she was still thinking about someone she had only known for two days!I closed my eyes and felt that I was suddenly irritable. "Forget those things! Get on board!" I snapped.

At this time, Carl, who was standing beside me, suddenly came over and hugged Rose by the waist. While she was screaming, he carried her onto the boat, put her on the seat, and jumped back to the deck.

"Women." Carl returned to me and stood up, with a flattering smile on his face, "Sometimes you can't reason with them."

My thanks were choked in my throat, so I turned to my mother and Rose.

Rose looked at the deck with a mournful expression. Her gaze was out of focus, and it just fell here emptily.

"Don't worry." Carl bent slightly and whispered in my ear, "Don't be afraid, we'll survive. It's just a matter of spending more money. Don't be afraid."

I took a deep breath and clasped my hands tightly together to suppress the trembling of my fingertips.

With a sound of "咻", a white firework rushed into the dark blue night sky, exploded with a bang, and the bright fireworks illuminated the people on the deck.The mother and Rose's two identical green eyes reflected the clear light like transparent emeralds.

A little girl smiled happily, probably she had never seen such bright white fireworks.But she didn't know that this was a signal for help.

The crew began to lower the cables, the hull shook slightly, the ladies on board let out a short exclamation, and then the boat began to descend steadily towards the sea.

I took a few steps forward, looked down at my mother and Rose, tried to smile lightly, and waved to them happily.

Rose's eyes were still scattered in the air.She said something softly, and saw her mother slapped her hand suddenly, and then looked at me, her lips moved slightly, as if to say something to her again.

Rose turned her head to look at her suddenly, the expression on her face was extremely shocked.She stood up slowly, trembling all over, and looked down at her mother, who also stared at her sternly.

"Rose, what are you doing! Sit down!" I leaned out and shouted at her, "Sit down!"

The two exchanged a few words, and then I heard Rose yelling with a crying voice: "Goodbye, Mom!" Then I saw her step on the side of the boat and slammed towards the side where the lifeboat happened to pass by. Jump on the railing of the upper deck!

"Rose!" I screamed, my heart nearly stopped, "Rose!"

The mother rushed over in panic, trying to drag Rose back who was hanging on the railing, but Rose moved faster. With the help of several passengers who kindly dragged her back to the deck, she quickly climbed onto the deck and disappeared. gone!

"Rose! Come back! Come back!" the mother screamed, "Come back! Stop! Wait! Wait for my daughter to come back! Stop! Rose! Rose! "

I turned around and ran downstairs.I must get her back quickly.If something happened to her, the mother would be in pain for the rest of her life.
