[Comprehensive British and American] Jason Wayne's Road to Struggle

Jason was only 11 years old when he started wandering. The first days were very difficult. He was too young and looked too good.

It's the kind that knocks out the front teeth of the little fat guy next door, and then when the little fat guy's parents come to the school to make trouble, the big fat dad's anger suddenly fades when he sees his face, and he drags him to eat with the little fat guy Hot dog, and then said to him "little beauty, is uncle's hot dog delicious?" kind of good-looking.

It was only later that Jason realized that the fat man's father must have said something dirty to him. No wonder the face of the big fat man's mother suddenly changed.

In fact, many handsome white men who grow up may look as delicate and beautiful as girls when they are young boys, and Jason happens to belong to the mixed-race group that often produces beauties, although there are quite a lot of American mixed-race , but he definitely belongs to the very successful kind of mixed.

His father, Todd Sr., is said to be of mixed Indian, Caribbean, and Germanic race. Although his complexion was darker, he was still quite handsome when he was young. It is estimated that he used his face to drive Catherine, who was still in high school, into the grave of marriage.

As for Catherine, it is said that her family has Latin blood. Jason remembers that when he was very young, she had healthy honey-colored skin, but Jason was milky white, so Andrea once said that Jason's father should Very white, or he wasn't Catherine's own.

And Jason would seriously answer: "I'm biological, otherwise Catherine wouldn't be so kind to me. In Crime Lane, many biological mothers are very bad to their children."

For a deformed child like him, if she wasn't her own, Catherine would probably have thrown him into the gutter instead of setting aside money to feed him even if she was delirious with drugs.

Jason always remembers that old Todd often beat him when he was not in prison, and Catherine would jump over to block some fists for him, and then when the weather was good, she would stand in the kitchen and patiently teach him how to bake biscuits, bread and paper cups cake.

She also took Jason's hand into the school, straightened his collar and said, "Can you have a better time at school?"

If she wasn't Jason's biological mother, why should she pay so much for Jason?There are many women in Crime Lane who don't care about their own children, and Catherine has treated Jason very well.

As for the skin color issue, maybe it's because his physique is different from others?After all, it is a deformity, who knows if he will lose some pigment because of it.

In short, in order to protect himself, Jason had to learn to roll himself with dirt all over his face, wear sour clothes, drag the cardboard box to a hidden corner where no one is sheltered from the wind at night, and then get into the box sleep in.

He didn't protect the Paddington bear that Andrea left him, but he kept the small switchblade with him all the time, and it was the only tool Jason could use to protect himself.

He also fought a few fights, winning and losing. The worst injury was that he couldn't lift his arm for several days. He almost thought he was dislocated or fractured, but luckily he lifted his arm again later. Got up.

This is a good thing, which means that the injury is still within his self-healing ability. The bad thing is that in order to avoid fighting, Jason can only sneak into the upper city, so as to avoid those homeless people who are everywhere in the lower city and Crime Lane from doing things to him. What.

He couldn't raise his hand for the time being, and it was useless to have a knife, and his ability to protect himself was greatly reduced.

One of the rules of survival for waifs is to hide yourself in the crowd and not look too conspicuous, so he put on the Andrea bag wrapped in plastic bags hidden in the brick under the dumpster. He went to the movie skirt and wiped himself clean with what little water was left.

However, Jason is not familiar with Uptown. Even if he pried the tires here, he couldn't find a buyer, let alone change food and water. Drinking water can only be regarded as getting drinking water when the water bottle is used to catch water in the sink.

Within two days, Jason felt like he was going to starve to death.

He was very hungry, but he couldn't find food to feed himself. He sat on a park bench with black hair and dizzy eyes, and he didn't have much strength to walk around to find food.

He was so hungry that he even felt like vomiting.

Gotham has a relief station for the homeless, which is considered a bit of welfare for the poor citizens by the city government, but it doesn't always last long. It is said that there is insufficient funds, but sometimes it is also because there will be mobs to occupy there.

Jason has received bread at the relief station twice, and he even saw a former classmate volunteering there, a freckled girl wearing glasses, with bright pink nail polish on her fingers, when she saw Jason, she Obviously stunned for a moment, then secretly stuffed two more pieces of bread into Jason's hands.

The girl's eyes were brown, and she looked at Jason so sad that she seemed about to cry.

In fact, there are still many people who are kind to him, but they don't always stay by Jason's side for a long time.

Jason was thinking dizzily, he wrapped his thin arms around his upper body, and curled himself up into a ball. At this moment, he was quite thankful that his legs were long enough, and it was an easy movement for him to put his forehead on his knees , and then pressed the already drunk water bottle to his stomach, pressing hard, hoping to suppress the headache of the noisy person.

Then a pair of clean sneakers stood in front of his eyes. The shoes did not look big, so the person who came was not very old.

Jason looked up and saw a boy wearing a British school uniform and carrying a schoolbag. He looked the same age as himself, but Jason had been malnourished for a long time and looked a little younger than his peers, so this boy should be younger than Jason's actual age 2-3 years younger.

A bag of bread was placed in front of Jason.

It's white bread, there may be icing sugar and sesame seeds on it, it's sweet and fluffy at first glance, it's a good thing Jason is willing to eat on his birthday.

Tim looked at this well-dressed girl who was obviously thin, and put a bottle of milk in front of her.

Though young, Tim knew it was probably some waif who stole someone's clothes, and she must have had nothing to eat in a long time.

As a primary school student, that's all Tim can do. He didn't dare to look at the girl's eyes as green as the Kanas Lake in the sun, turned around and ran away in a hurry with his head down.

He was a smart boy, and he knew that some waifs were bad, and would attack and rob their givers, and Tim wasn't strong enough.

Then he ran to the gate of the park, and Tim felt regretful again. He thought he should buy more food and put it in front of the girl, or buy her a blanket. Winter is coming, and many homeless people freeze to death on the street every year. .

The girl seemed to be around his age, and it was obvious that without adults to take care of her, it would be very difficult for her to survive this winter, and she might die someday in a place where others could not see.

But when Tim ran back to the bench, the girl was gone, along with the bread and the bottle.

Tim Drake, who was only 8 years old, felt empty in his heart. He regretted it a bit. If he had known this...he would put all his pocket money in front of the girl before running away.
