The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

When Selena took Aisha from Bruce, it was already a bit of a struggle. Aisha is not a baby after all. It is already a bit difficult to hold a three or four-year-old child. Selena is not as tall as Bruce, and she wants to control the excitement. Aisha who is in a good state naturally struggles even more.

But at this time, after a brief pause, the trapeze show reached its climax again. The dazzling aerial movements made Aisha completely excited. She jumped forward vigorously, but Selena couldn't catch it at all.

Aisha ran directly to the seat in the front row, then climbed along the chair to the ground, and passed under the chair in the previous row, and Selena followed the same route.

But who knows, Aisha seemed to have awakened some super power, and the speed was incredible, and she disappeared into the seats in the auditorium almost instantly.

Selena was completely lost, so she could only look for them row by row.

At the same time, at the backstage of the stage, a small black figure rushed past. The owner of the circus sensed some movement. He turned around suddenly, but found nothing.

At this moment, the circus owner is holding a saw and approaching the stakes that hold the ropes for the trapeze show.

In the trapeze show, the ropes used for swinging are hung from a higher rope, and the circus owner grinningly approached the stake holding the highest rope with a saw.

The circus owner held the saw and started sawing the thick rope, cursing in relief while sawing, but just when the rope was about to be cut, a small figure appeared instantly and bit his arm.

Aisha is not here to seek justice. She is interested in things that move. When the circus owner saw something, his arms moved up and down, and only his arms moved in the dark backstage. Of course Aisha wanted to. I didn't want to bite it.

It's a pity that Aisha's weight is too light, and the bite is not heavy, just like biting the arms of Bruce and Selena. Apart from leaving a row of teeth marks, it did not cause substantial damage. It made the circus owner's arm stagnate for a moment.

The thick rope that had been sawn to its limit was only connected by the last thread, but it still broke in the end.

But it was the few seconds of lag that brought Bruce, who came out of the bathroom, closer to the stage.

The moment the rope snapped, the two people hanging on the rope began to fall, but such a long rope, it would take a few seconds to completely pull it out from the other end, which is the superposition of these few seconds and several seconds , Bruce rushed to the stage in an instant, and in the shadow of the curtain, grabbed the flying rope.

But he was only one person, and there were two people falling on the other end of the rope. His weight was not enough to stop the two people on the rope from falling. Bruce considered this problem before grabbing the rope, so he grabbed the rope with one hand and used it He circled his arms twice, and then quickly grabbed the curtain beside him with his other hand.

With a fixed point, the rope stopped pulling away, and the Graysons at the other end of the rope stopped in mid-air.

Suddenly, Bruce heard the sound of air-conditioning, and he turned his head to see, behind the curtain, standing the little boy who claimed to be the heir of the Grayson family.

He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide, looking at Bruce in shock.

There is still a distance from the auditorium to the stage, and there are several rows of seats in front of where Bruce is, and the stage is higher than the auditorium, and there are three steps beside it. Bruce completed the flip in just a few seconds The series of movements of the seat, rushing up the steps, grabbing the rope, grabbing the curtain.

The quick reaction, smooth movement, and precise handling made this look less like a hero saving lives, and more like an art performance. In the eyes of the little Grayson onlookers, Bruce's whole body was shining.

Bruce sighed and said, Don't be dazed, come and help pull the rope.

Little Grayson, who reacted from the shock, realized that his parents were about to fall just now. The shock on his face turned into anger, and while helping Bruce pull the rope down, he said, It must be the circus owner who did it. Yes! He has been displeased with my father for a long time!!

After a while, the rope was pulled back to its original position, and the two actors returned to the platform. They walked down and thanked Bruce.

Mrs. Grayson was already in tears, and Little Grayson said angrily, It must be him! Let's settle the score with him!

Don't go! Dick! Come back! Mrs. Grayson called him, and the boy named Dick had rushed out, but was finally called back by his mother.

Can you tell me what's going on?

At this time, Mrs. Grayson was on the verge of collapse. She hugged her husband and kept crying, and Mr. Grayson was also a little decadent. The two couples were just ordinary people who had just experienced a life-and-death crisis and were hung in the air for some reason The fear of falling from time to time has completely crushed their hearts.

As if looking for an outlet to vent, Mr. Grayson said to Bruce: ...I know he did it, the owner of the circus, and we don't want to work here, but we can't help it.

There should be quite a few circuses on the east coast, why don't you go there?

Mr. Grayson sighed and said: You shouldn't pay attention to this matter, right? My father, Old Grayson, is also the trapeze artist of the previous generation. He made a major mistake in the performance, not only fell from mid-air , and just hit the edge of the stage props, he...

Okay, I know, you don't need to elaborate, please forgive me.

It was a performance at a high-profile charity dinner, many of the attendees were dignitaries who had never seen blood, and this bloody death horrified many of them, discrediting the Grayson family , the big circus is not willing to hire us, afraid that we will make such a mess again...

Only this circus is willing to accept us, because this is Gotham, and people are not afraid of us falling to our death...

This reason is both absurd and reasonable, and Bruce couldn't say anything to refute. He asked the Graysons: You are not from Gotham, are you?

Actually, we have been here for a long time and bought our own house. We are half locals, but our hometown is in Bludhaven.

Let's go back, back to Bludhaven! Mrs. Grayson sobbed, Give up, we can't let little Dick live in such a fearful environment...

Mr. Grayson pursed his lips, his face was haggard, Mrs. Grayson continued to cry and said: I know, I know you have always wanted to revive the family business, but this is really not going to work, you have to think about it, if we die Now, what's going to happen to poor little Dick? In Gotham, orphaned children with no parents are likely to be sent to that horrible foster school and...

Mrs. Grayson began to cry again, and Bruce heard some information in her words, but it was not easy to ask now, Little Grayson walked up to comfort his mother, and the family of three hugged each other.

When Bruce walked backstage, Selena was finishing the last knot. It was the circus owner who was tied up by her. Aisha still bit his arm and refused to let go.

When Bruce went to hug Aisha, he thought he was going to fight her again, but unexpectedly, Aisha let go of his mouth easily.

Seeing the saw next to him, Bruce knew what was going on, he called Gordon, then hugged Aisha, and left the circus with Selena.

Just as they got into the sports car and were about to drive home, a figure appeared in front of his car. Bruce let go of the steering wheel, turned his head to look at the figure, and asked, ...Dick? What's wrong with you? What are you going to do?

Dick came around from the front of the car, stood beside Bruce's driver's door, and said, My parents are going back to Bludhaven.

Then you should congratulate them, it's much better than Gotham, and you should be able to live a stable life.

But I don't want to go back...

Why?

Dick pursed his lips. Although he was young, he had a resolute expression. He said, My grandfather's death was not an accident at all.

how do you know?

I have investigated. Dick said very firmly: The crossbar of his final curtain call has been tampered with. I checked the rope. The strangle marks on it showed that it was a wrong knot. The knots that hold the crossbars are not supposed to be like that at all...

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked him, So what?

You're not ordinary, are you? Dick said, grabbing Bruce's car door with one hand, I've been learning acrobatics from my dad for a long time, and I know how hard your routines are, those muscles The technique of exerting force can never be performed on the spot, you should have practiced for a long time...

Dick kept pursing his lips, and he said to Bruce: My parents gave up, but I won't give up. I want to stay here to restore the reputation of the Grayson family and avenge my grandfather.

More importantly, if the cause of my grandfather's death cannot be found out, and his murderer cannot be found, then my parents will not be safe.

But... Dick said with a helpless expression, I know what Gotham is, and the skills I learned from my father are not enough for me to survive here, and I can't convince my parents I'm staying here, so...

Dick took a deep breath, with a melancholy expression on his face that didn't match his age, he looked at Bruce and said, If you will allow me to study with you, I think, one day I will be able to fulfill my wish, and you saved me My parents, if I follow you, I don't think they will object...

Before Bruce could answer, Dick said, ...well, I know that sounds ridiculous, how would I expect a rich guy to...

Dick let go, sighed, and waved his arm for Bruce to drive.

He also knew that he was just acting impulsively, instead of leaving with his parents, he stayed in Gotham alone, and wanted to learn from the richest man in the world? This is simply a fantasy.

Bruce looked at Dick, but he had a very strange feeling. People always see themselves from another person at a certain moment. In fact, Dick's appearance is completely different from him, and he is only a boy of seven or eight years old. , not to mention any personality, but his tone of voice made Bruce feel that he was special.

Maybe there are two people in this world who are naturally compatible with each other. In short, Dick is very pleasing to Bruce, and Bruce is also very pleasing to Dick.

But pleasing to the eye, Bruce has no intention of adopting an adopted son, and a daughter is already driving him and Selena crazy.

wait, daughter...

Bruce looked back at Aisha, who was completely fixed in the child safety seat, but still restless, and then glanced at Dick, who looked much more mature than his peers. Just as Dick turned to leave, Bruce called stopped him.

Half an hour later, in Wayne Manor, Bruce held Elsa's armpit, showed it to Dick like a pet dog, and said to him, This is your sister.

Wait, are you going to adopt me? I...

Before he could finish speaking, Aisha opened her mouth, and the fangs in her mouth startled Dick, and he asked in shock, What's going on??? What about her teeth...

Born with deformed teeth, too young to correct them. Bruce replied without thinking.

Uh, well... wait, her eyes seem to be... Dick pointed to Elsa's eyes and said.

Heterochromia, follow her mother. Bruce replied naturally.

Is... is it? But... why can't she speak?

Children with autism, I have already made an appointment with a psychiatrist. Bruce answered eloquently.

But……

At this time, Alfred came down from upstairs, and he asked Bruce with a face full of hope: Sir, this is the young master, right? Have you settled the legal issue? I think we can...

There should be 10,000 words later today, and then there will be no more on the 16th.
