Chapter 319 The Fruit Shopkeeper
After some struggle, Charlotte finally made a decision.
"Although the outcome may not be as I hoped, if I don't do my best to change it, I will definitely leave regrets. After all, God has given me this opportunity, and this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will never regain if I miss it, so I must not waste this precious opportunity.
Father, Mother and Master, I must let them live, although I can't repay them for their selfless nurturing grace, but if I can reverse their tragic fate, it can be regarded as filial piety. It's a bit selfish to do this, but I don't have any other choice now.
Now that I'm back, I won't let that tragedy happen again in front of my eyes. Even if they insist on going their own way and going against the sky, I will save them. Father, Mother, Master, wait for me..."Charlotte thought to herself.
Charlotte's eyes, which still seemed to have a trace of cloudiness, suddenly became extremely clear at this moment, flashing with a determined light. Her mind no longer wavered, and she never hesitated.
"I must now confirm today's date so that I can know how much time is left until that tragedy happens, so that I can be prepared to make sure that nothing goes wrong and that I don't have to sharpen my guns. I only have one chance and I have to take it well and not make any mistakes. ”
Thinking of this, Charlotte put aside all her worries, took a step, and resolutely walked towards the fruit stand.
From this moment on, she will officially integrate into this past time and start her journey of "reversing fate".
When Charlotte walked to the front of the fruit stand, the owner of the fruit stand finally noticed her presence.
The amiable brown-haired old man smiled kindly the moment he saw Charlotte, and greeted him warmly in his somewhat hoarse voice.
"Xiao Xia is here, isn't it hot and thirsty? I don't know what happened in the last few days, it was surprisingly hot, and the sunlight was very poisonous every day, and it seems that we have never had such weather in Beiju Luzhou, which is really strange. Come, eat an apple, it should be much more comfortable. ”
John, the owner of the fruit shop, picked up an apple and handed it to Charlotte, not letting her spend money on it at all. John had known Charlotte's parents a long time ago, and they were very good friends with each other, and he could be said to have grown up watching Charlotte and was very fond of this lively and optimistic girl. Every time Charlotte passed by John's fruit shop, John would give her the freshest fruit to eat, never charging a penny.
For John, just seeing her smiling face can be a good mood for the day, and he wishes Charlotte could eat more, because she is so thin.
However, when she found John talking to herself as usual, Charlotte suddenly froze in place, and all kinds of questions appeared in her mind.
"Why did Grandpa John talk to me as if nothing happened, after so many years, my appearance should be completely different from when I was a child, even if my father and mother want to recognize me, I am afraid they will have to look carefully for a while. Could it be..."
Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but look at her body.
For so long, she hadn't paid attention to her "form" in this world, taking it for granted that her appearance would not change, and Charlotte, who had been full of complicated thoughts in her mind, didn't even have time to look at her body.
When Charlotte saw
The way he is now is once again in confusion.
Dressed in light gray cloth, only four feet tall, with a thin body and overly slender hands, every detail tells her "This is what you looked like a hundred years ago".
"How can this be, didn't I go back to my body as a child? ”
Charlotte immediately tried to condense her spiritual power, and then found that the spiritual power in her meridians was pitifully small, and it was not enough to cast any high-level spells.
"It's not a good sign that even the cultivation has gone back a hundred years ago. As a result, it may be more difficult than you think to change history... God may have given me not only an opportunity, but also a difficult challenge. Charlotte frowned slightly, and a look of worry appeared on her face.
"It's been hot for the last few days..."Charlotte remembered what John had just said, and her heart sank slightly.
"Does that prove that there are less than two weeks left before that silent catastrophe strikes? It's too close for me to have enough time to prepare a plan... What's next?"
The more Charlotte thought about it, the more anxious she became, her face suddenly turned red, and she looked like she was suffering from heat stroke.
John was suddenly taken aback by the change in Charlotte's complexion, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xia, you're okay, look at your face as if you have a heat stroke." Is it uncomfortable to be physically uncomfortable, if you are uncomfortable, you must say it, and you can't bear to know it?
The weather has been so strange lately that it has been difficult for those of us who have been living in the land of ice and snow to adapt, and it may be even more difficult for you to get used to it at such a young age, but don't let this weather get you sick. There is a man in the village who is proficient in medicine, you should know where he lives, and if you really feel unwell, you should go to him for treatment as soon as possible, and you can't delay. ”
Hearing John's hurried words, Charlotte came back to her senses, and she knew that John was worried about her, and her heart couldn't help but warm. But when she thought that John had not been spared in that disaster, her chest hurt like she had been repeatedly pierced by a sharp silver needle, and she could hardly breathe.
Charlotte hurriedly took a deep breath and breathed a sigh of relief, which calmed down the feeling of heartache.
At this moment, Charlotte's complexion gradually returned to normal, she smiled slightly, and said to John, who looked anxious: "Grandpa John, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." It's been very hot lately, but my body can stand it, and it's impossible for me to get sick. It's just that I've been sweating all the time lately, which has caused my physical exertion to be much faster than before, and I can't exercise well. ”
John's face immediately softened when he heard this, and he laughed heartily: "Haha, although you little girl looks thin, her physical fitness is not bad, I haven't been feeling well recently, and you don't feel anything."
However, this kind of weather suggests that you should not exercise, it is easy to collapse if you are not careful, and it is best to stay at home honestly.
The location of my fruit shop is not bad, in the shade, otherwise my old bones will not be able to withstand the fierce sun, and the fruit will not be sold. ”
When John said this, he raised the apple in his hand again, and said, "I feel that your girl seems to be different from usual, and she has no interest in apples.
If it was before
You should grab it quickly and nibble on it. Could it be that Xiao Xia can't look down on grandpa's apples anymore, grandpa is a little sad. ”
John made a "sad" look, and his exaggerated expression made people laugh.
When Charlotte saw John's expression, she immediately burst out laughing, and for a moment almost forgot the heavy mission. John's humorous personality always makes her forget all the sad things, and he can make everyone who comes to this fruit shop happy, and half of Charlotte's happy childhood memories are actually left in this fruit shop.
"Not only my father, my mother, and my master, but I want every villager who died in that disaster to live in peace, they are so kind, so amiable, why did they suffer such a bad fate? I must not let that tragedy happen in front of me a second time. ”
Charlotte was no longer distracted at this time, and took the apple in John's hand and said coquettishly: "Who said I can't look at it, the apples in John's grandfather's store are the best, very sweet and sweet, I can't eat enough." I was just thinking about things, where did you think of it?"
With that, Charlotte took a bite of the apple, and the sweet taste in her mouth made her want to stop.
"It's so sweet, it's really the taste of childhood, it's so delicious, I can't remember how long it's been since I've eaten such delicious food. The smell of apples soothed Charlotte's mood, and the pent-up sadness in her heart immediately dissipated a lot.
"Can't eat enough? I want to give you more every time, but you politely refuse. If you want to eat, just eat, with your little appetite, you won't eat grandpa poor, don't worry. John laughed.
"I know grandpa, you don't make much money every day, how embarrassed to always eat white food, and when I have some savings in the future, I will definitely repay grandpa for taking care of me over the years. Charlotte said with all seriousness.
"It's not right for you to say that, how can you meet grandpa like this, this is not your usual style. When John heard this, his face showed a hint of displeasure, obviously disgusted by Charlotte's tone.
"Grandpa John, I have grown up, I am no longer a child, and I have begun to understand some life principles, and it is the duty of a person to repay kindness. Over the years, you have been caring for me like your own daughter, and I will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life. ”
The sincerity contained in Charlotte's words deeply touched John's heart, and made him feel a long-lost warmth and touch, since the death of his wife, he has not experienced the taste of family affection for a long time.
"I can't remember how many years I haven't heard such touching words, but it's a really good feeling. ”
A heartfelt smile appeared on John's lips, the happiest he had ever smiled in decades.
"Grandpa feels your heart, you have been here as a guest and accompanied me all these years. As long as you're there, I won't feel alone, and that's enough in return. Grandpa doesn't need any other compensation, as long as you visit more often in the future. John said sincerely.
When the words fell, before Charlotte could reply, John deliberately changed the topic in order to alleviate this slightly embarrassing context: "Girl, you just said that you were thinking about something, and what did you say that you have grown up, and you will not be a man you like, I didn't expect you to reach this age." ”
