What the little rascal's mother said, "Damn thief dad," was actually just an angry remark.
In fact, it was a disguised form of concern. In this terrible era, thief was the most despicable profession, and the little rascal's mother obviously didn't want the little rascal to follow in his father's footsteps and be beaten to death for stealing.
As the little rascal looked at the shining stars in the open sky, he began to have the idea of inheriting his father's mantle.
He wanted to prove his father's theory in his own way, and he wanted to become an astronomer.
Unfortunately, all the astronomy books and equipment at home have been sold, but fortunately the old man living opposite is the owner of an antique shop.
"Maybe the old man has some related antiques. I'll go ask him tomorrow. It would be nice to borrow them and have a look." The little rascal thought.
The opportunity tonight changed the fate of the little rascal. His name was Johannes Franz Hartmann.
The grandfather who lived across the street admired Johannes's eagerness to learn, so he got the opportunity to go to school with his own efforts, perseverance and partial financial support from his grandfather. Although part-time work and study life is hard, he can pay part of the tuition by himself and reduce the burden on his family.
Although Johannes was ridiculed as a child from a poor family and even teased as the son of a thief at school, he didn't care.
In Johannes' heart, nothing could attract him more than the sea of stars. Of course, he always remembered to climb to the pinnacle of the academic world step by step to clear his father's reputation.
Many years later, he became a national physicist and astronomer. In 1904, he confirmed the existence of element calcium in the vast interstellar space from the spectrum observation of the binary star Betelgeux in Orion, thus confirming the authenticity of the interstellar matter theory. ② Johannes bought back his father's relics from all over the world, found accurate evidence from his father's notes to clear his father's name, and guaranteed in his own name that his father's thesis was not plagiarized, but was completed by his father alone.
Johannes spent his entire life searching for the source of the gaze in Yodkau's eye when he was a child, but unfortunately he never found it. However, he accidentally found three unrecorded asteroids and named them.
Johannes became a world-renowned astronomer who managed to surpass his father's achievements.

The sun slowly rose from the west, and a ray of warm sunlight shone through the window onto Eisen in the room.
After a night of torture, Eisen was almost in a state of neurasthenia. He did not sleep all night, fearing that he would fall into that terrible dream again.
The sunshine seemed to dispel his fear, but the shadow in his heart still existed, and he didn't want to go back to his slaughterhouse and face those pieces of meat.
Eisen, who was originally an atheist, decided to go to church today. He suspected that the animals he had slaughtered a long time ago were taking revenge on him through his dreams.
Although this is a very superstitious idea, everything in the dream was too real, so he had to make such a speculation.
He did not pay attention to the mark on the ceiling, the mark that belonged to Hastur.
Eisen is just an ordinary man. He has no knowledge of the occult. He only knows some superficial beliefs, so he did not report the case or see a psychiatrist. Instead, he chose to try his luck in the church of the Holy Light Society.
The Umm Minster Church on the outskirts of Umm is still under construction, but some priests are already preaching the majesty and love of the Holy Light here.
Eisen's residence was closer to Umwelt Minster Church, and he decided to go to Minster Church to discuss his dream with the priest.
Eisen put on a suit, which he rarely wore, out of necessary respect for the church.
His beard grew a lot that night, but he needed to wash it with water after shaving, which was something Eisen didn't want to do. Eisen was unable to fall asleep last night because of the dripping sound.
He took his almost new walking stick, hailed a carriage and set off for the church.
"Sir, please wake up. The fare is fifty pfennigs."
This is the coachman waking up Eisen who was dozing off in the carriage after arriving at the church and asking for the fare.
Although it was impolite to wake up a dozing person, the coach driver had to continue working, so he had to do it.
"Oh, okay. Please wait. No need to give me the change." Eisen took out a gold mark from the pocket lining of his suit and gave it to the coachman, and gave the rest to the coachman as a tip.
The driver accepted the gold mark with a smile on his face. When he was about to leave, Eisen said,
"If you don't mind, could you wait for me for a while? I don't want to walk back later."
The driver frowned. Generally speaking, this was not in accordance with the rules, but when he thought about the generous guest who had given him a lot of tips, he replied,
"Then I can only wait for you here for fifteen minutes. If you don't come out after fifteen minutes, I will leave first. Is that okay with you?"
Eisen nodded in response. He himself didn't think it would take more than fifteen minutes.
After getting off the car, he took a look at the magnificent Umleminster Abbey. The main hall and side halls of the church had been built, and only the top of the rear hall was not completed. It seemed that it would be completed within a few years.
He walked in through the main hall door. Currently, there were only a few believers in the church who were kneeling on the ground and praying to the holy light.
Eisen looked at the solemn and magnificent interior of the church. The stained glass windows were painted with images of Yesu and the Virgin Mary.
Being in such an environment made Eisen relax a lot. He had been in a state of panic before, but now he felt calm in the church.
The priest in the main hall noticed Eisen looking around the church. He walked up to Eisen and saluted with his hands together.
"Sir, are you here to listen to the teachings of the Holy Light? Or are you here to pray?"
Eisen shook his head and said, "Father, neither."
The priest glanced at Eisen's face and said,
"It seems that you haven't had a good rest recently, why don't you come with me to the inner hall? I think you have a lot to say to me."
Eisen nodded quickly and followed the priest into the inner hall behind the main hall of the church.
There are several independent confessionals here, which are generally used by people to confess their sins and faults to the priest, but they are also suitable for discussing some more private topics.
This was exactly what Eisen needed, because he didn't want to be arrested and imprisoned in a mental hospital after being regarded as a lunatic, and be imprisoned in helplessness and despair for the rest of his life.
