Chapter 279: Gotham Play House (Part 1)

Popular recommendation:

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

It seems that a young couple stepped out of the car. The tall father walked in front with his daughter in his arms, and the mother followed behind with tickets and bags. On the surface, it seemed that this was a very harmonious family of three, but everything ended in in a scream from the daughter in her father's arms.

"Wow!!!"

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

Bruce sighed and took his hand off. Aisha in his arms jumped out of his arm very restlessly, but was stopped by Bruce's other arm.

And why this family of three appeared in front of the circus, we have to start with the exceptionally "harmonious" parent-child time these days.

In theory, 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 only stay in the theoretical stage. In practice, these theories cannot be said to be of great benefit, they can only be said to be useless.

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

But as the old saying goes, practice brings true knowledge, and the same is true for raising children. After three days of getting along with Elsa, Bruce really figured out a rule.

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

Originally, this should have touched on the areas that Bruce is good at, such as building a robot or a toy car to play with Aisha, but later he found out that Aisha does not like to see moving things, but likes to see moving people.

How Bruce discovered this pattern also goes to Selena.

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

Although it is hard to bring children, she can bear it for Bruce, but the artistic cells engraved in her bones really have nowhere to spread, so Selena put up a pair of horizontal bars on the lawn of the manor and went up when she had nothing to do. Dangling and consolidating your acrobatic foundation.

Then Bruce discovered that Elsa would be surprisingly quiet when she watched Selena play the horizontal bar, and she could even stay silent for ten minutes.

Bruce and Selena are two treasures, in the daytime. Selena just swings on the horizontal bar, performs all kinds of acrobatic moves, coaxes Elsa to play, and at night, Batman drives his Batmobile. Drag Aisha on the highway in Gotham.

As for why it's the Batmobile, it's because Elsa only likes the kind of car that can make a huge roar. Other sports cars don't have enough horsepower. Elsa sits on it and starts screaming. Only when the Batmobile is marked at the top speed can she be quieter.

The life of these two days is that during the day, Selena performs acrobatics for Elsa, such as trapeze, flying over the eaves, drilling fire rings, unicycles, etc. It can be said that if Catwoman's business ability is less than that, she can't last these three days.

And at night, the roar of the Batmobile will reverberate through the streets of Gotham. The criminals of Gotham have been completely lying down these days. No matter who hears the terrifying engine sound of the Batmobile all night, My heart will be throbbing.

But this situation ended on the third night, because the tires of the Batmobile were stolen.

Yes, you read that right, the tires of the Batmobile costing tens of millions of dollars were pried off.

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

There are a lot of car thieves in Gotham, but if they have the ability to pry Batmobiles, why would they steal cars in Gotham? Go to any car brand, is it bad to be an engineer?

But the world is so impermanent, and bad things always come together. There really is such a genius car thief who leaves the technical director and engineer inappropriate and insists on picking up the Batmobile in Gotham.

Bruce walked to the Batmobile with Elsa in his arms and saw his Batmobile with only three reels left. For a moment, he was speechless.

Of course he has a spare tire, but the problem is that the technology used in the Batmobile is too complicated. Even if it is to change the tire, Bruce must do it himself, but now Bruce is holding Aisha, he even has a minute's time. Can't make it, let alone tow the Batmobile to the Batcave for a tire refurbishment.

Without the Batmobile, Elsa would never sleep. If she didn't sleep, Selena and Bruce wouldn't be able to sleep. 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 because of the Frozen Gotham incident had reopened.

Bruce and Selena thought, since Elsa likes watching Selena perform acrobatics, the circus should be better than that. If you can put Elsa to sleep, then Bruce will have time to fix him. the Batmobile.

And just like that, they booked their tickets and showed up the day after the circus opened.

Before, this circus in the western suburbs of Gotham was quite popular. There were many animal taming performances here. In particular, there were several powerful acrobats who could perform many difficult acrobatics.

But since Gotham was suspended for a period of time due to ground damage, the circus business has not been very good. This time, the circus owner warmly welcomed the Waynes and his wife.

Not only because they came very early, but more importantly, Wayne has money. If he is happy with it and invests a sum of money, this circus may expand to a larger scale.

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

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

The audience entered the venue in twos and threes. Today, there were more people than the first day, but they were still dissatisfied with their seats. The boss standing at the backstage door had a gloomy expression and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the situation.

He heard some movement from the backstage, turned back and lowered his voice, scolding: "What are you doing? Why are you making such a big noise? Didn't I remind you? Today Wayne is coming, so be honest with me. Come on, idiot!"

Then, he complained like a vent: "It's all your fault! You still need 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?"

"As you can see, the business of the circus is not good, so I can only pay you one-third of your salary this week."

Several acrobats in the backstage were very angry when they heard it, and one of them was quite tall and stood up and said, "Hey Henry! You can't do this, we've been working with you for a long time, and we've made enough tickets for you before. Qian, we are all performing dangerous and difficult projects, we are exchanging lives for money, you can't do this..."

"Grayson, you better be honest! Do you think it's time for your Grayson family's reputation on the East Coast?"

"Don't forget, your father, old Grayson, fell into a mess in an important performance and smashed your family's signboard. If not, how could the noble Grayson come to perform in this small place like me?"

"Don't expect more, listen, your wife is not in good health, and she asks for leave every three or five times. It's already a burden. It's already an excuse for me to give you a full salary..."

On the opposite side, the tall and manly man named Grayson burst out, and several companions around came up to pull him and comfort him in a low voice. Finally, he waved his fist, but said nothing, and walked back to the crowd.

But the circus owner mocked like a villain: "Don't think I don't know, that little oil bottle from your Grayson family wants to do this too, but let him be careful not to fall like his grandfather. mashed meat..."

Hearing someone cursing his son, Grayson couldn't bear it any longer, ignoring the companions who were pulling him, walked forward quickly, punched the old circus directly, 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 this performance today."

"If I'm gone now, are you going to use those lions and elephants to beg for money with Wayne?"

The circus owner wiped his nosebleed, his neck and face flushed with anger, and he stared at Grayson and said, "You better finish this performance well, if something goes wrong, your family Get everyone out of here!"

Grayson snorted and turned away.

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-year-old child came over with a basket and asked, "Want some pancakes or something?" Bread? And fried onions and cheese slices for 15 cents a..."

Selena looked at the basket he was carrying, which contained fragrant 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~www.NovelMTL.com~ I'll ask other people."

"Bring me a pancake and two slices of cheese." Selena said to him, the boy bowed his head and took out the food from the basket and handed it to Selena, after finding that Bruce had tipped an extra 10 cents, He returned the money in a panic and said, "It's only 15 cents a piece, and you tipped too much..."

"You don't do this often, do you?" Bruce said, looking him in the eyes. "In circuses and theaters, the tips from vendors and flower girls are about the same price as what they sell..."

Selena also nodded and said, "I also did this job when I was a child. If I don't give a lot of tips and I can't complete the goal, I will be beaten."

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

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

Selena looked up and down the boy and found that although he was young, he had a well-proportioned figure, long hands and feet, and some muscle marks on his arms.

"Of course I'm an actor and a member of the famous Grayson family of trapeze, my dream is to be a great trapeze like my great-grandfather, but..."

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

Selena took the money he returned and said, "The Grayson family? I seem to have a little impression, they shouldn't be natives of Gotham, right? It's rare to see such innocent children in Gotham..."
