Chapter 108 Shocking! Looping Timeline(1/3)
Tao Yanyan looked at the time when she got home, it was 8:40 am.
Tao Yanyan prepared some snacks and continued to watch "Worry-Free Grocery Store" while eating. She was very curious about how the female athlete in the 1970s would make choices later, "If it were me, I would probably choose to participate in the Olympics...
"
Tao Yanyan thought so.
The three thieves in the novel kept communicating with the female athlete in the 1970s, helping out with various ideas.
"These three thieves are not bad people."
Tao Yanyan quite liked the three thieves because they sincerely wanted to help the female athletes.
Finally, the female athlete sent her last letter saying that she still tried her best to prepare for the Olympics, but unfortunately she was not selected in the end, so she returned to her hometown and accompanied her boyfriend on the last journey of her life.
"so good."
There was no delay on either side.
Tao Yanyan felt relieved.
This is the best of both worlds.
The first story in this book ends here. Tao Yanyan also understands the setting of Night Hou. This grocery store is a medium that can connect the present and the past, allowing people in two time and space to interact in this fantasy way.
way to communicate.
No hesitation.
Tao Yanyan turned directly to the second chapter. This setting had already attracted her... There must be someone sending a letter later, right?
Tao Yanyan guessed correctly.
But I was only half right.
The perspective of Chapter 2 unfolds through a man named Katsuro.
Katsuro was also born in the 1970s. He had always cherished a musical dream, but his relatives wanted him to inherit his family's fish shop, so he wrote a letter to Jieyou Grocery Store, thinking that he would receive comfort and guidance.
Unexpectedly, the person who replied to the letter directly mocked Katsuro severely.
It probably means:
Brother, your troubles are really extravagant. If you don’t inherit the family fortune and insist on pursuing some illusory dream, then it’s a good thing for people like you to go out into society and suffer hardships...
Tao Yanyan was happy when she saw this.
The tone of this reply turned out to be those three thieves!
Katsuro was furious and wrote directly back to argue that his parents and family had always supported him and hoped that he could stick to his dream. By the way, he felt that the person who replied was very rude.
Just rude.
The other person responded again, still cursing Katsuro. Anyway, every sentence was heart-breaking, and he directly called Katsuro autistic.
Kron began to reflect:
Although the person who responded to the letter spoke fiercely, he was right. Maybe he really didn’t have any musical talent, otherwise he wouldn’t have accomplished nothing so far.
"Can we meet?"
Katsuro sent a third letter, accepting the other party's criticism and stating that he decided to go back and inherit the family business, but before that, he wanted to meet the person who replied.
Obviously.
Katsura can't see anyone.
That night he sat in front of the grocery store, took out his harmonica and started playing. The song was called "Rebirth" and it had no lyrics yet. It was Kron's most satisfying work.
A few days later.
Katsuro returned home and found that his father was ill. He took care of his father beside the hospital bed. Thinking that his father had been motivating him to keep making music, his shaken heart became firm again:
I want to stick to my music dream!
Because this is not only Katsuro’s own dream, but also the dream of his family. If he gave up music, his father would also be very sad.
Shortly afterwards.
Katsuro finally received the third letter, but was shocked to find that in the third letter, the other party's attitude turned around completely!
The letter reads:
"Dear Mr. Fish Shop Musician, I have read your third letter. I am sorry that I cannot meet you. Your pursuit of music will not be in vain. Someone will be saved because of your songs. You created
Music will also be passed down forever, please always believe in this and believe it until the last moment."
at this time.
Katsuro doesn't understand what it means to persist until the last moment of his life.
Tao Yanyan, who was reading a book, didn't understand either, "First of all, I can confirm that it was the three thieves who corresponded with Ke Lang, but why did the three thieves suddenly change their attitude in the third letter, wishing Ke Lang to continue to persist in his music dream?
Even your tone becomes full of respect?"
There is no explanation in the book yet.
Eight years later, Katsura still didn't have many achievements in music, but he occasionally received invitations to perform.
Such as this day.
Katsuro was invited to perform at an orphanage called Marukouen.
Unexpectedly, a fire suddenly broke out in the orphanage that day. Katsuro rushed in and rescued a little boy, but he was trapped and fell into the blazing fire.
this moment.
Katsuro suddenly remembered that letter. Perhaps this meant that he should continue to hold on to his music dream until the last moment of his life?
In the fire.
Kron is dead.
He is a hero.
When Tao Yanyan saw this, she felt as if something was choking her throat. It turned out that the three thieves already knew about Ke Lang's future.
Many years later.
There was a famous singer who held a grand concert and the last song was about to be performed.
on the stage.
The singer choked up and said: "This song is my famous song, but this song has a deeper meaning. The author of this song is my only relative and my brother's savior. He sacrificed his life for
He came into my brother’s life. If I hadn’t met him, I wouldn’t be who I am now, so I will sing this song throughout my life. Please enjoy it - "Rebirth"."
It turned out to be "Rebirth"!
"Rebirth" by Katsuro!
Tao Yanyan's eyes widened and her eye sockets were red.
It turns out that these stories are all connected, as if there is an invisible thread that connects everything together, as if everything is destined in the dark.
Why did the three thieves change their attitude towards Katsura?
Because in the era of the three thieves, the song "Rebirth" has become the eternal classic of the singer.
The singer, like her younger brother, was born in Marukoen!
The three thieves are also orphans, and they were also born in Marukoen!
As for the starting point of this line, it is the deceased owner of Jieyou Grocery Store——
Grandpa Langya.
After a few stories, the timeline goes back to the past, and Grandpa Namiya’s perspective appears.
Naniya has persisted in answering people's worries for many years. One day he received such a letter. The writer said that she was pregnant now, but the father of the child had his own wife.
What should she do?
Naniya’s son said of course he would be aborted!
Langya scolded his son: She wrote such a letter precisely because she wanted to give birth to a child. In fact, what she needed was not advice but support.
So Naniya replied.
Not long after, Langya was hospitalized for terminal cancer, but he saw this news:
A woman committed suicide with her child in her car. As a result, the mother died, but the child was saved.
Waves of arrows were struck by five thunderbolts!
This woman is the same woman who asked herself if she wanted to have a baby before!
Now that he was born, why did he choose to die? Langya blamed himself painfully, and suddenly wondered whether the life advice he had given to others by replying to letters for so many years was wrong? Was he always doing a disservice?
Langya asked his son to take him back to the grocery store.
The son couldn't resist the old man, so he had no choice but to do it. Before entering the grocery store, Naniya gave his son another suicide note and asked him to read it.
The suicide note reads:
To be continued...
