The World Is Frozen: My Store Will Never Close

On the seventh day of the global freeze, the whole city was cut off. Only the Shenji supermarket in the old alley in the south of the city still had its lights on. At nine o'clock every night, a handwritten list will appear under the glass of the counter, with three names and three house numbers written on it. When the person on the list knocks on the door, one bar of electricity will drop every time the door is opened; if you give him a mouthful of hot water, the meter will return one bar. In the city where it was -40 degrees below zero, his store had electricity, hot water, a whole box of unopened noodles, and an account that no one had ever seen. The freeze was not a natural disaster. The lights were turned off one by one, and the person who turned off the lights also had the same list in his hand. What he is guarding is not a small shop, but the warmth of a city that refuses to admit defeat. Why is the name of his father who died three years ago written on the last line of the list?
