"I found the truck and went back and announced to them that it could indeed be used as a safe shelter for the night, and they cheered and high-fived each other, but to my suspicion, Jason didn't seem to be so happy, he kept frowning and feeling a little worried......"

In the afternoon, the faint sunlight shines down the curtains, and when the words are brushed by, the scene created in the words becomes brighter.

The paper was slowly lowered, and Schiller, who was behind him, pushed his glasses, picked up the coffee cup with his other hand, and took a sip of coffee.

Victor next to him leaned over and said, "What are you looking at, paper?" ”

"No, it's a travelogue, Bruce wrote, do you want to take a look?" Schiller handed the stack of papers to Victor, who took it and glanced at the first page, and then he said with some surprise, "Is this really written by Bruce?" The 'my' move that says on it doesn't look a little bit like Bruce......"

"As I said, he's much better, and if it weren't for the fact that he's been thinking a lot about it lately, you'd only see a bullshit philosophical speculation, not a more readable travelogue."

Victor nodded and flipped to the second page, and then said, "His writing is still quite good, concise and straightforward, but it is relatively beautiful, and the environment and atmosphere are well shaped......

Schiller picked up the empty coffee cup, walked to the coffee machine, looked back and said, "Read on, you'll see more surprises." ”

The mellow coffee liquid dripped into the cup, and the water level slowly rose, just like the streets of Gotham after the sun had gone down and the rain hit again.

"Quick! Come on! You're just one of them! The eldest sister beckoned to the other child, and he said, "Why did you come back so late and send it to the wrong place?" ”

The boy climbed into the middle of the truck in three steps and two steps, and he said, "Don't mention it, I'm really unlucky today, the person who originally ordered the things doesn't want it, and I have to find a way to sell it." ”

"Come on, we've boiled hot water, you can take a bottle and warm your hands." The eldest sister gave him a plastic water bottle, which was scalded by the hot water, and the child smiled stupidly and said, "Thank you, but I'm not cold, give it to those little guys." ”

The twenty or so children in the carriage were huddled together, twelve on the left and eleven on the right, almost all of them wrapped in quilts, while the other older children, around the shed of the truck, were covered with extra broken blankets and quilts.

After a while, Bruce, who was carrying a wrench, came up and said, "While the rain was light just now, I went to check the car, the engine is not broken, the fire may be something else, if it can be fixed today, we can drive to a high place." ”

The eldest sister waved her hand and said, "This is already good, you better go to the cab in front of you to see Jason, take this bottle of hot water, I'm afraid he will be cold." ”

As soon as Bruce took the bottle, the eldest sister looked left and right, lowered her voice and said, "Later, if Jason says something crazy to you, don't agree, we can't stand the toss." ”

Bruce didn't know what she was referring to, but he nodded, took the bottle of hot water, and walked to the cab of the truck.

After all, the cab is roofed, and it is better sealed, and it is warmer here, Bruce put a blanket between the two seats for Jason to lie here, and when he got in the car, he stuffed the water bottle into Jason's quilt and said to him, "The kids are all arranged, you can sleep and get up tomorrow morning." ”

Jason frowned, shook his head and said, "No, it's far from that simple, can this car be fixed?" ”

"Yes, but what are you going to do with it? Pull goods? But that's after tomorrow. Bruce said, sitting next to the driver's seat.

"No, I'm going to use it tonight." Jason looked at Bruce and said, "While the rain is light, you go and fix it, it will definitely be used tonight." ”

"Why can I use it tonight?" Bruce asked, "What do you want to do with it?" ”

Jason swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty: "Go to the neighborhood to save people, go save other children's helpers, cough cough, tonight's storm is destined to be terrible, the basement will definitely not stay, they will be forced out, and then it rains, but they can't die......"

Bruce's hand on the steering wheel paused, and he looked at Jason, feeling very surprised, because he knew that it was difficult to raise children with more than good hearts in such a poor environment as the slums.

Just when he was thinking like this, Jason seemed to see through his thoughts, and he said: "No, don't be stupid, I'm not kind, in the Gotham gang, all friendly actions are for profit." ”

With some difficulty, he stood up and said, "It is not difficult to survive this rain, but we must think about what will happen after this rain." ”

"The drainage system is not restored so quickly, and it is likely to turn into a flood like a snow disaster, and when transportation is difficult, many people will count on their children to deliver their things."

"However, the snow disaster has a slow process, and most of the children are expected to cool down, and most of them have prepared firewood, so they can hide in the house and make a fire, and as long as they don't stay outside for too long at night, they will generally not freeze to death."

"However, the storm came so quickly that most of the people were not prepared, they would not repair the house, and the other children were not as lucky as us to get a truck."

"It's raining in the middle of the night, the basement leaking is so bad that they can't stay, they're going to be forced out into the street and then raining, and although not everyone has a cold, there will definitely be a lot of people who get sick."

"Once they get sick, they lose the ability to work, and there are more people who need their children to deliver things, but fewer people who can deliver them, and this can have very serious consequences."

"People need to buy things because of the hard demand, but the number of children who can work has plummeted, and when they can't meet the demand, they will think of other ways than to rely on these children anymore......," Jason swallowed again, "and then the new life we have found so hard will collapse again." ”

"It took them a long time to get into the habit that once the kids couldn't count on it, they would build a new system to replace our ......"

Jason took a deep breath and said, "They will hire this group of children, not because they are kind, but because we are easy to use, we will not pay a high price like adults, as long as the materials to survive will be fine." ”

"But if we don't work well, we will be abandoned by them, and they will have a chance to find another way, but we don't."

"So no matter how many conflicts I've had with the other kids before, this time, I have to save them." Jason coughed twice and said, "Otherwise, although I can get by safely now, there will be no future." ”

Bruce was stunned, his eyes were a little straight when he looked at Jason, he really didn't understand, how could an eleven-year-old child see the interpersonal supply and demand and industrial form of the entire city so clearly.

Why was he so visionary?

"Bruce. I promised to help you, but I'm sorry, now you have to help me first, fix the car quickly, and then tell them that this is what I mean......" Jason said a little anxiously: "It's too late, we have to rescue all the children on this street to ensure that after the flood, the industrial chain here will not collapse." ”

Bruce held out his hand. Slowly stroking Jason's forehead, he stopped in place for a moment, and then said: "Jason, you have to think about it carefully, even if I can fix the car, if I have to drive in this weather and such terrain, the car will be very bumpy, and your wound may crack......"

"And even if it's a heavy truck, there's not enough room to accommodate kids from all of Gotham City."

"I know that." Jason immediately said, "If you can keep a street, you can keep a street, you can save an entire block." As long as a part of the industrial chain is complete, then we have the opportunity to prove to other regions that we are the best to use. ”

Bruce's fingers twitched, and for the first time he felt a strange emotion welling up in his heart, he didn't know if it was the sadness that ordinary people say, but he remembered this feeling for a long time, and he still couldn't forget it until he put pen to paper.

The words that are born of intense emotions always have a different kind of appeal, and in addition to recording them in the travelogue, it is still indispensable. Express your feelings to those closest to you.

"Don't you think it's amazing? Selena, I don't know why he was able to think so far and make this miraculous decision so decisively, he is truly a genius. ”

On the roof of Wayne Tower, Batman and Catwoman stood together, looking at the sun setting in the sky, Selena smiled and said, "Do you think he's a genius?" Then you'll soon learn that Gotham is full of geniuses. ”

"Why do you say that?" Batman asked.

"You were born with inexhaustible resources and countless riches for you to squander, so of course, you don't know how much potential you can explode when you are cornered." Catwoman shrugged her shoulders and said, "If you are driven to a dead end several times, you should know what you can't do, and you should do what you can't do." ”

"You think we're all selfish and bad people, but I have to tell you that the people of Gotham have a spirit of unity, strength and sacrifice that you can't imagine in order to survive, we are each other's enemies and each other's benefactors, and we regard each other as enemies and relatives."

"You have to know that Batman, in an extremely hostile environment, there is nothing more reliable than the collective, and the gangsters are actually a manifestation of the collective will."

"What? Are you shocked? Catwoman turned to Bruce and said, "Gangsters don't represent chaos, on the contrary, gangs represent order, and they are the order of collective consciousness." ”

"You think that the gangsters follow so many rules because they have nothing to do, and you think that we should be in a mess and have no scruples."

"But actually, the truth is exactly the opposite of what you think, the Gotham gang is the most orderly and disciplined gang in the world, and it's not because we are the kindest and most visionary......"

"It's just because the conditions here are the worst, and we have to be the most united to fight the deepest darkness."
