Chapter 19 The Butterfly Effect, Teaching a Man to Fish
Compared with the wind and frost in the north of Grizri, Valentine, located in the south of Grizri, is as warm as spring.
Confirming that the robbery in the Black Water Town has occurred, Rorschach has further grasped the plot timeline he is in.
According to the plot in the game and Arthur's diary, we can know that Van Delin and his group stayed in Porcer Village for about a month. During this period, they bombed the train of railway tycoon Cornwall and snatched a batch of railway bonds before leaving the comfortable mountainous area and heading to the horseshoe watchtower south of Valentine to camp.
In other words, he still has one month to prepare for the Vanderlin Gang!
Thinking of this, Luo Xia blinked his eyes, folded the newspaper, put it in his windbreaker pocket, and walked straight to the "radish" next to the horse stake in front of the hotel.
Then, at this moment, he seemed to find something wrong and stopped suddenly.
He took out his pocket watch, opened the cover, and looked at the time. Roxa suddenly frowned:
"It's already nine o'clock, why haven't he come yet..."
The "he" mentioned by Rorschach is naturally Mr. Towns, who comes to Valentine every day to raise funds.
Although Mr. Towns has received generous donations from Rorschach over the past period of time, and the funds have been sufficient.
However, he still insisted that from 8:00 to 10:00 every morning, a low table would be placed in the open space in front of the stable to raise funds for the poor.
For a month, it has been stormy and rainy.
However, today, Mr. Towns did not appear.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!
Is something happening?
Thinking of this, Roxa took another step, came to the side of "radish", and suddenly jumped onto the horse.
"drive!"
One man and one horse, heading towards the Towns Ranch outside the town...
...
Although the equestrian course has ended long ago.
However, Rorschach would bring some groceries or fresh ingredients from time to time and go to Towns' house for supper.
Over time, he and the Towns family became very familiar with each other.
It can be said that the Towns family is one of his few friends in this world.
Mr. Towns, especially, played a great role in Rochelle's establishment in Valentine.
As a pastor of Valentine, this "Mr. Wicked Good Man" spontaneously promotes Rorschach's good people and good things both during Sunday activities and in daily life.
It is precisely because he advocates Rorschach's integrity, kindness and noble character everywhere that Rorschach, the "outsider", was accepted by the Valentines so quickly and became the "Mr. Rorschach" respected by everyone.
So, Rorschach had decided long ago that he must find a way to save Mr. Towns' life!
The thoughts in my mind were full of thoughts, and the horse under my crotch continued to slow down and soon arrived at the Towns Ranch.
There was also some surprise and puzzlement about Rorschach who came to open the door.
When Rorschach explained his purpose, Arc and Mrs. Towns were both surprised and moved.
"Thank you for your concern, Rorschach."
After coming forward and hugging Rorschach, Mrs. Towns said hesitantly: "Thomas... something happened to him..."
"What's wrong with him?"
"He is in the room, I'll take you there..."
When he saw Mr. Towns lying on the bed, Rorschach finally knew why he did not go out to raise funds today.
After exiting the room and sitting in the living room, Rorschach couldn't help but ask:
"Have you seen a doctor?"
"I saw it, the doctor said that he may have been too tired recently and his condition has worsened..."
After listening to Mrs. Towns' explanation, Rorschach realized that to some extent, Mr. Towns' condition worsened and he had part of his responsibility!
In the original game plot, Mr. Towns worked hard due to the double pressure of debt and fundraising, which worsened his condition and eventually died.
After Rorschach appeared, Mr. Towns not only did not owe any debts, but the fundraising work also went very smoothly.
With sufficient donations, this kind pastor hopes to help more poor people.
So he went to help disabled veterans and poor people in the town and managed the operation of the church, while also returning to his own ranch and taking care of the corn in the fields.
Mr. Towns clearly distinguished.
Donations are donations, which are used to help the poor. And their own cornfield is the main income to help the family.
However, he forgot that he was still sick!
Although Rorschach's help prevented Mr. Towns from borrowing money from Strauss, it has changed Arthur's fate of collecting debts and infecting tuberculosis.
However, Mr. Towns did not bring good luck in disguise, but instead worsened his condition due to overwork.
If this continues, Mr. Towns' condition will only worsen and even die earlier than in the game.
This is the change brought about by the flapping of Rorschach's wings!
Realizing this fact, Rorschach couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
As early as in the last "GTA" world, Rorschach experienced the consequences of the "butterfly effect".
What you do may have various impacts on the world and change the fate of the characters and the direction of the plot.
However, one of the purposes of his entry into these game worlds was to change the plot.
So, he didn't care much.
Anyway, for him, the time he experienced in the game world was just a wonderful journey.
I will leave sooner or later, so why should I care too much?
However, when the butterfly effect affects the people he originally planned to save, Rorschach must not sit idly by.
This problem must be solved!
Thinking of this, Rorschach raised his head and looked at Mrs. Towns and Archi with a solemn look:
"Thomas (Mr. Towns' name), he can't continue like this!"
"I have advised him too. However, he is a stubborn person and will not give up easily..."
Before Mrs. Towns finished speaking, Rorschach interrupted her:
"I know he is kind-hearted. But it is impossible to help the poor without any compensation endlessly! Is he still planning to support these people for the rest of his life?"
"If this continues, he will only lose his life. In that case, those poor people will not only live a better life, but will only fall into a more difficult situation, and will be a completely lose-lose situation!"
Nodding and agreeing, Yaqi asked, "Mr. Rorsch, what do you think you should do?"
After touching his smooth chin, Rorschach had an idea and immediately came up with a solution:
"So, don't your ranch still have a lot of idle land? You can make use of it! I invested to hire the poor in need as ranch workers, and then reclaim more fields and keep livestock."
"In this way, the poor can not only have a job and support themselves, but also greatly share Thomas's workload. He can also concentrate on the operation of the church and recuperate."
As the saying goes, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish!
