The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

At night in Gotham, the cylindrical light from the headlights gradually turned from the corner of the street, and then shone straight on the street. A sports car slowly drove to the gate of a circus station in the western suburbs of Gotham.

The ones who got out of the car seemed to be a young couple. The tall father walked in front with his daughter in his arms, and the mother followed behind with a ticket and a bag. On the surface, it seemed that this was a very harmonious family of three, and everything ended in In the scream of the daughter in the father's arms.

Wow!!!

Stop screaming. Bruce covered Aisha's mouth, his voice was exhausted, Selena came up, took his arm and said, You'd better stop covering his mouth, in case it happens again What if you get bitten?

Bruce sighed, and took off his hand. Aisha in his arms was very restless and wanted to jump out of his arm, but Bruce stopped him with the other arm.

As for why this family of three appeared in front of the circus, it has to start with the extremely harmonious parent-child time these few days.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Bruce wants to learn, there is nothing in this world that he cannot learn, including parenting theory, but it is very coincidental that all parenting theories in this world basically stay at the theoretical stage. In practice, these theories cannot be said to be of great benefit, it can only be said to be useless.

There will not be any parenting theory in this world that will teach you how to deal with an ancient chaotic creature in the universe that was hatched from a part of the soul in a dream. Therefore, after Bruce studied the parenting theory for ten minutes, he understood that he In the future, I am afraid that I will have to create a new discipline by myself.

But as the old saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice, and the same is true in raising children. After spending three days with Aisha, Bruce really figured out a rule.

I don't know whether it is the characteristics of chaotic creatures or the characteristics of children. Aisha is very interested in things that move and make noise.

Originally, this should have touched the field that Bruce is good at, such as building a robot or toy car to play with Aisha, but later he discovered that Aisha does not like to watch moving things, but people who like to watch moving.

How Bruce discovered this pattern is also due to Selena.

Since Bruce is in urgent need of help, Selena has been living in Wayne Manor for the past few days. The old housekeeper Alfred is happy, but Selena herself is a little gloomy.

Although raising a child is hard, she can bear it for Bruce, but the artistic cells carved in her bones really have nowhere to go, so Selena built a pair of horizontal bars on the lawn of the manor, and went up if nothing happened. Swing around and consolidate your acrobatic foundation.

Then Bruce discovered that when Aisha watched Selena play the horizontal bar, she would be surprisingly quiet, and she could even stand still for ten minutes without making a sound.

Bruce and Selena are like treasures, during the day. Selena just swings on the horizontal bar, performs all kinds of acrobatic moves, coaxes Aisha to play, and at night, Batman drives his Batmobile. Driving Aisha on the roads of Gotham.

As for why it is the Batmobile, it is because Aisha only likes the kind of car that can make a huge roar. Other sports cars do not have enough horsepower. Aisha starts to scream when she sits on it. Only when the Batmobile reaches the top speed can she be quieter.

The life of these two days is that during the day, Selena performs acrobatics for Aisha, such as trapeze, flying over eaves and walls, jumping through fire rings, unicycles, etc. It can be said that she can't last these three days even if the catwoman's professional ability is weak.

And at night, the roar of the Batmobile will resound in the streets and alleys of Gotham. The criminals in Gotham are completely in bed these days. No matter who hears the terrible engine sound of the Batmobile all night, My heart will burst.

But that ended on the third night when the Batmobile's tires were stolen.

Yes, you read that right, the tires of the Batmobile, which cost tens of millions of dollars, were pried away.

It happened on a dusk when Bruce was about to take Aisha out. The night before, he parked the Batmobile a little farther away, but he didn't worry about safety at all, because the Batmobile and other cars are more similar except in appearance In addition, it can already be said that there are two species.

There are plenty of car thieves in Gotham, but if they can pry the Batmobile, why would they steal cars in Gotham? Go to any car brand and be an engineer, isn't it good?

But the world is so impermanent, and unlucky things always come together. There really is this kind of genius car thief who puts the technical director and engineer inappropriately and insists on prying the Batmobile in Gotham.

Bruce walked to the Batmobile with Elsa in his arms, and seeing his Batmobile with only three wheels left, he was speechless for a moment.

Of course he has a spare tire, but the problem is that the technology used by the Batmobile is too complicated. Even if it is to change the tire, Bruce has to do it himself, but now that Bruce is holding Aisha, he can't even take a minute. Can't make room, let alone drag the Batmobile to the Batcave for a tire change.

Without the Batmobile, Aisha will never sleep. If she doesn’t sleep, Selena and Bruce will not be able to sleep. If Selena and Bruce don’t sleep, they will be more tired and have no energy to coax Aisha. vicious circle.

Until they saw an advertisement in the newspaper that Alfred delivered in the morning, it is said that the circus that had been closed due to the Frozen Gotham incident had reopened.

Bruce and Selena thought, since Elsa likes watching Selena's acrobatics, the circus should be even better. If Elsa can be put to sleep, then Bruce will have time to fix him. The Batmobile is gone.

Just like that, they booked tickets and came to join the circus on the second day of its opening.

In the past, this circus in the western suburbs of Gotham was quite popular. The animal taming performances here are very rich, especially there are several powerful acrobats who can perform many difficult acrobatics.

However, since Gotham was suspended for a period of time due to ground damage, the circus's business has not been very good. This time it reopened, and the circus owner warmly welcomed the Wayne couple.

Not only because they came early, but more importantly, Wayne is rich. If he is happy and invests a fortune, the circus may expand to a larger scale.

Originally, the owner of the circus wanted to invite the family of three to sit in the middle of the front row, but Bruce refused. On the one hand, it was because the lights there were too dazzling, and it was too close to the ring of fire, so it was a bit hot; on the other hand, it was because of love. Sha's appearance is different from ordinary people, and there are too many spectators in the middle, so it is easy to be spotted.

Bruce and Selena chose to be in the far right corner of the front row, which was very close to the toilet and exit of the circus, and if there was any accident, they could leave immediately.

The audience entered in twos and threes. There were more people today than on the first day, but they were still dissatisfied with their seats. The boss standing at the backstage door had a gloomy expression, as if he was very dissatisfied with the situation.

He heard some movement from the background, turned back and lowered his voice, and cursed: What are you doing? Why are you making such a big commotion? Didn't I remind you? Wayne is coming today, be honest with me Come on, idiot!

Then, he complained like venting: It's all your fault! You have to pay wages, why can't you be like lions and elephants, as long as you give me something to eat, you can work hard for me?

You have also seen that the circus business is not good, so I can only give you one-third of your salary this week.

Several acrobats in the background were very angry when they heard this, and one of them stood up and said, Hey, Henry! You can't do this, we have worked for you for a long time, and we have earned enough tickets for you before. Money, we are all performing dangerous and difficult events, we are exchanging our lives for money, you can't do this...

Grayson, you better be honest! Do you think this is the time for your Grayson family to be famous on the East Coast?

Don't forget, your father, old Grayson, fell to pieces during an important performance and smashed your house's signboard. If not, why would the noble Grayson come to perform in my small place?

Don't expect more. Listen, your wife is not in good health, and she asks for leave every now and then. It's a burden. I've already given you a full salary...

The blue veins of the tall man named Grayson on the opposite side bulged, and several companions around him came up to hold him and comforted him in a low voice. Finally, he waved his fist and walked back into the crowd without saying anything.

The circus owner mocked like a villain: Don't think I don't know, that little oil bottle from Grayson's family also wants to do this business, but let him be careful not to fall like his grandfather. Turned into meat paste...

Hearing someone cursing his son, Grayson couldn't bear it any longer. Regardless of the companions who were pulling him, he walked forward quickly, punched the circus old man, and then pointed his finger at his nose and said: You also said that Wayne is sitting outside, and you have to point at me for today's performance.

If I leave now, are you going to use those lions and elephants to get close to Wayne for money?

The circus owner wiped his nosebleed, and his neck and face were flushed with anger. He stared at Grayson and said, You'd better finish this show well. If something goes wrong, your family Everyone get out of here!

Grayson snorted coldly, turned and left.

In the auditorium, Bruce and Selena were still waiting for the performance to start. Suddenly, they heard the bell rang twice, and then a half-old child came over with a basket and asked, Would you like some pancakes or something? Bread? And fried onions and sliced ​​cheese for fifteen cents...

Selena looked into the basket he was carrying, which contained delicious food, but Bruce looked up at the boy's expression and said, You don't seem happy?

The boy said blankly, If you don't want it, I'll ask someone else.

Give me a pancake, and two more slices of cheese. Selena said to him, the boy bowed his head and took the food from the basket to Selena, and after discovering that Bruce had given an extra 10 cents as a tip, He returned the money in a panic, and said, It's only 15 cents a piece, and your tip is too much...

You don't do this job often, do you? Bruce looked into his eyes and said, In circuses and theaters, the tips for vendors and flower girls are about the same as the price of the things they sell...

Selena also nodded and said: I also did this job when I was a child. If I don't tip much, I can't complete the goal, but I will be beaten.

The boy sighed and said, I'm not a peddler, it's just that the circus owner doesn't like my father, so he doesn't let me perform on stage, only let me do this kind of chores.

Then what do you do? Are you still an actor?

Selena looked the boy up and down, and found that although he was young, he was well-proportioned, with long hands and feet, and some muscle marks could be seen on his arms.

Of course I'm an actor, and I'm a member of the famous Grayson family of aerialists. My dream is to become a great aerialist like my great-grandfather, but...

As he said that, he looked back at the backstage, as if he was afraid that someone would stare at him. He said, Thank you for your kindness, but 10 cents is too much. I only need half of it. I have to go to someone else's place. Goodbye.

Selena took the money back from him, and muttered, The Grayson family? I seem to have the impression that they are not natives of Gotham, right? Such a simple child in Gotham is rare...
