Houston, November 19, 1916.
When Situ Nan boarded the Virginia, the weather gradually became colder, and a drizzle of cow hair drifted in the sky, which got on his clothes and took away the heat of the human body.
The Virginia was supposed to travel between Europe and the United States, but due to the war, especially after German submarines once sent more than 100 American passengers to the bottom of the sea, passenger ships to and from Europe became more cautious.
I don't know if this is the reason, the Virginia was changed to the East Coast to West Coast route of the United States.
In short, Situ Nan got on the ship, and in the past few days he heard a legend that there was a person on the ship who had always lived on the ship and had never been on land. He's a pianist.
At the evening dance, Situ Nan finally met the legendary pianist of the sea, who is said to be 1900 Dennis.
The cold outside did not affect the activities of the passengers in the cabin at all, accompanied by music, swaying steps, dancing with dance partners**, this is what men and women in the first class love to do.
In the beginning, the orchestra was accompanied by soft jazz, and the orchestra conductor was also very hard-working, and he reveled in the music he conducted. Where to wake up tonight, in the phantom of the knight, it makes people forget the cold outside.
But after a while, he lost control of the orchestra, and the trumpet, tuba, and violin all stopped, leaving only the piano playing briskly.
The man who had been dancing slowly just now had to stop and stand by and watch the young man at the piano play triumphantly.
After a while, after getting used to the rhythm, they danced to the rhythm of the piano again. In particular, those young and beautiful women kept twisting their bodies, as if youth had returned to their bodies all at once.
"He plays well, doesn't he?" A gentleman sitting next to Situ Nan said.
"Yes, that's interesting." Situ Nan echoed.
"Stoney William. Businessman from Los Angeles! Situ Nan introduced himself.
"Paul Wilson. U.S. Senator, from Texas. The decent gentleman said.
It turned out to be a senator!
That's not a small story! Situ Nan couldn't help but be respectful, "Hello! Mr. Wilson! Situ Nan took the initiative to shake hands.
"Stoney William? Where do I seem to have heard it? Wilson said.
"Maybe!" Situ Nan continued: "Mr. Senator must have heard of Occidental Petroleum! I'm one of the shareholders, and the senator is from Texas, maybe because my name sounds familiar! Since the other party is a senator, Situ Nan is not easy to hide and pinch, and directly shows his identity, not how noble the other party is, but that the identity of an equal is easier to talk to.
"Oh! So Stoney William is you! I heard Handar mention you, we're very good friends. Wilson was a lot more enthusiastic.
As for Occidental Petroleum Corporation, as a politician, Wilson naturally heard about it, and knew a little more than anyone else. Handar was one of Wilson's supporters, and Occidental Petroleum gave Wilson a lot of strength in his campaign.
However, Situ Nan spent more time in Los Angeles and was familiar with the politicians in California, and he had never met Wilson.
Wilson told Stuart that he was going to Washington on business.
You're going to war, right? Situ Nan thought to himself, Wall Street's heads and brains couldn't wait, so they waited for a vote in Congress.
However, the two talked about music not the most, not politics and economics. Wilson was a music fan, and he was particularly fond of the music of 1900 Dennis. Listening to the music of the 1900's and spending a long time at sea became his favorite!
For this reason, he did not hesitate to squeeze into the third-class cabin to listen to the 1900 play, and also pulled Situ Nan over.
The conditions of the third class were far worse than the first class, there were many people, and all kinds of smells were mixed together, and some were unpleasant, for Wilson, who came down from the first class. Dare to be emotional, even the air is graded.
Looking at Wilson covering his nose with a handkerchief and blending in the crowd, Situ Nan was a little funny, this guy is still a little cute, at least he likes the music of 1900 very much.
Situ Nan did not have an extraordinary background, when he first came to this world, he was a crew member on the Titanic, although a few years have passed, he has also been pampered, but he is not embarrassed at all in the third-class cabin, but quickly adapted.
He thought of the Titanic, the people on board, those who flashed in his life, the care they once gave him, and the bits and pieces of the past were all remembered in his heart, and they came to mind one by one with the music.
Time is the best medicine to heal wounds, and now Situ Nan is no longer easy to be sad, but will remember the past.
"I heard you've never been on land, and you plan to stay on this ship for the rest of your life?" South Szeto Road. After the people dispersed, only Situ Nan and 1900 Dennis remained.
"No, this is my world, from bow to stern, you can see the vast sea outside, and occasionally the wonderful scenery on land. Land is too big a ship for me, and I can only stay in my music world. After he finished speaking, he pressed a few keys as he pleased, and a faint and somewhat lonely tone jumped out.
This is a simple man who lives freely in his own music. Situ Nan commented on 1900 Dennis.
Everyone has their own ambitions, how can they think about it!
Situ Nan smiled faintly, "Let me try it too!" ”
On a faint afternoon, looking at the blue sea outside, it was like shuttling on the boundless ocean, free, perhaps this is the most freehand part of Situ Nan's life on the boat.
Not only that, Situ Nan also spent a rough night on the boat. After drinking a little wine, a woman in the first class couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart and bumped into Situ Nan, who had accumulated excess hormones.
Late one night, when Situ Nan was trying to fall asleep, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and when he opened the door, a woman with blonde hair and a white dress suddenly threw herself into his arms.
Before Situ Nan could react, he was kissed. Well, this strange woman smelled of wine, her cheeks were red, her eyes were a little misty, and her lazy demeanor had an indescribable temptation.
"Damn! Could this be the legendary affair? Anyone else sent to the door? Situ Nan thought a little excitedly, but he couldn't do anything to take advantage of people's danger.
"Miss, you're drunk! Staying in that room? I'll send you back. Situ Nan said. It's a bit of a nonsense.
"Nope! I don't want to go back to that deserted room. Saying that, the strange girl kissed Situ Nan again.
"Is that all right?" Situ Nan really can't face the female pervert: look at her eyes full of spring water, if she is cheap, others are not as good as ・・・・・・ should learn from Lei Feng! lest she go and harm others!
**, it's the time for the Aishang novel to burn!
It's just a small encounter on a lonely journey!
There is no eternity, just a fleeting impulse.
The next day, the ship arrived in Virginia and stopped for a day. When Situ Nan woke up, there was a faint smell on the bed, but the crazy woman last night had disappeared, and only a strand of hair fell from the pillow to prove that she had been here.
Later, Situ Nan searched for a day on the boat, but he didn't find the woman he still remembered vaguely. Seeing Situ Nan's dazed appearance, Han Gang had no choice but to say, "She got off the boat in the morning." ”
"You..."
・・・・・・
It's like having a dream, knowing that many years later, Situ Nan can't tell what happened at that time, because he has never seen that strange female pervert since then!
Two days later, the ship informed everyone that they were about to arrive in New York.
Situ Nan looked on the deck for a day, and there was a lot of fog except the busy sea, but he had met a few freighters, and it could be seen that they were about to arrive at the port.
This trip is considered a long one, from the West Coast to the East Coast, sparing most of the United States, if the journey is not to add a little rose color, Situ Nan really wants to fly from Los Angeles to New York in one go.
Seeing the fog on the sea in front of him, Situ Nan had the idea of flying over like he had never seen before.
He thought of airplanes!
In this year, although the aircraft gradually appeared on the stage of history and initially occupied a small corner, it was still unrealistic to use it for transportation.
Technological progress cannot be achieved overnight, and it is impossible to fly around the world like in previous lives, even from the west to the east of the United States.
Situ Nan's life is becoming more and more valuable, and people are becoming more and more afraid of death, so naturally he can't be greedy to fly to New York, although technically and theoretically, he should be able to realize the adventure of flying after constantly flying and stopping on land, and taking off many times.
But Situ Nan doesn't have to rush to reincarnate, so it's no wonder that a wooden plane doesn't fall from the air after a long period of operation?
Situ Nan really had the dream of flying, and thought that it would be good to fly an airplane and play when the technology developed maturely in the future.
As a traverser, Situ Nan's natural way aircraft is of great value, and he has thought about whether he wants to open an aircraft company or something.
Now the aircraft is still at a low level, or a toy with a reconnaissance role, large-scale commercial use will take more than ten or eight years, but since you have the heart to be prepared, first do some technical research, Situ Nan has been prepared in this regard, he designed Cummins power is one of the sources of the future aircraft company engine.
For technical research, he is still more willing to spend money. Although you can buy some technology with money, it is still someone else's after all, and there will always be a difference between the feeling of raising a wife by yourself and using someone else.
Well, this is a bit of a reversal, maybe most men prefer to use other people's, especially wives, if they don't get hurt in the law or **.
There is something evil about this idea. But people will always change, they may keep something, or they may change completely.
Since Situ Nan ate Mary and suffered an inexplicable and indescribable one-night stand, he has become more open to women in his heart.
I don't know if it's the subconscious left by his predecessor or the experience of either a plane crash or a shipwreck after crossing over, the corpses have been seen all over the sea, and the temperament has changed, maybe the heart can be so unswerving to the lover in the previous life, but the body does not dare to guarantee it.
Well, my mind is loyal!
This may be a quibble, but as long as Situ Nan finds enough reasons for his actions.
Now when he stood on the bow of the ship facing the sea, Situ Nan's heart was finally calmer, the blue water was like a crystal film, and his eyes seemed to return to the Titanic through it.
Once I was a humble sailor, now I am a noble passenger on this ship;
I used to be nervous, anxious and impatient, but now I am calm and calm;
I used to drift with nothing, but now I have a career that I respect as an adult;
Once I was a frustrated traveler, now I'm a dragon.
He had just taken a telegram to New York with the ship's transmitter, and he felt a little good. If he sat in a café with a cigar in his hand and talked about war, business, politics or the stories of the evil Germans that circulated in the newspapers, Situ Nan felt like the rich boy Hawke he met on the Titanic.
It's a change, subtle.
However, once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
That's right, Situ Nan walked out on the deck after finishing his performance in the VIP room, his first sight was to focus on the lifeboats. In order to escape to the lifeboat, Situ Nan didn't bother much!
It's been so long, why are you still thinking about this!
Situ Nan laughed at himself in his heart, but he remembered the woman who met on the Titanic ship--- Laura, I don't know if she is doing well? I may have forgotten that I can't say for sure, but I feel like I owe her something.
I remembered that the lyrics of "My Heart is Eternal" haven't been given to Laura yet! Although she may never receive it, Situ Nanbai was bored, and still ordered a waiter to ask for a paper and pen.
$1 tip! It's been a few days to make this lucky guy happy!
After a long time, Situ Nan's memory was a little blurry, but after humming a few times, he finally memorized him.
I don't know that the man on the boat suddenly shouted, "Ah, America・・・・・・・" and everyone on the boat reads.
Situ Nan looked up, and what caught his eye was the Goddess of Liberty, who stood silently on the seashore and looked out at the sea!
This is the place of your own reincarnation! Situ Nan said silently.
Every time, it seems to start from here, set sail and return.
Situ Nan put away the dictated lyrics, stuffed them into his pocket, and when he got off the ship, he couldn't help but glance back at the Virginia, there was a person on the ship who was immersed in his own world, simple and free, as if the ship, the sea, and the piano were all he had.
And where is my world? Right at your feet! Situ Nan said to himself in his heart, this time he wanted more!
