Chapter 22: True Manhood
Babatu had a dream far away.
In my dreams, there is a warm fireplace, fragrant barbecue, and a warm bed......
There is also a father who works hard to make money and a gentle and considerate mother.
Although he was a child of a butcher's family, Baba Tu felt very happy when he was a child.
It's okay to help kill cattle and sheep every day, it's okay to be beaten and scolded when you go out dirty, and when you get home, your mother will gently comfort herself.
Babatu still remembers that his mother gently stroked the big belly and said, "Your brother is about to be born, remember to be an example to him." ”
What does role model mean?
In the eyes of a child, it is a man.
A man, he must be iron-clad, he will only bleed and will not shed tears.
So when he was a child, Baba Tu never cried or made trouble, like a wooden stake, he could only laugh, he would laugh when he was scolded, he would laugh when he was beaten, and no one would bully him over time.
Because I want to set an example for my brother as a man.
But one day, my father, who likes to drink, came back drunk and broke into my mother's room and said that the stinky woman had taken out the money.
Dad went to the gambling house, Babatu knew, he thought it was okay, most of the men in Zeta would gamble, and it didn't seem to be a big deal.
In the past, Dad's wallet was always swollen and deflated, and when he won money, Dad would cut a large piece of beef and cook a big meal.
There are wins and losses, and gambling doesn't seem scary.
But on this day, the devil showed his true colors.
Babatu's father was in debt, and his mother cried and begged him to pay for the child's schooling.
The women of Zeta, who always feed their children with their weak arms, do not care about their own lowliness.
It may sound ironic that the richest people are supported by these poorest people.
Zeta's gambler man has lost face outside, and when he comes back, he will bully his wife.
Babatu's father beat and scolded his mother, but the other party just didn't want to pay for the sake of the child.
Eventually, the demon descended on the gambler, and he raised the knife that usually kills pigs.
Babatu witnessed his mother's blood splattered on his face.
The father took the money and went out happily.
When he came back, the youngest son, who was the most obedient and puppeteer who couldn't cry and laughed, opened the door for him, and then gently closed the door.
The last thing Babatu's father saw was Babatu in tears, smiling and raising his knife.
"So this kid can cry? Great, my son is not a fool. ”
It's ridiculous, the father is very relieved to feel that his son has grown up.
Since then, Babatu has never cried again, and no matter what he does, he either can't keep his spirits up or just laughs.
In his heart, a distorted law was bred -
In Zeta, you can make money by killing cattle and sheep, but you can only survive by killing people.
Since then he has earned a cool title - "The Butcher".
Babathu was lost in this chaotic memory, and he felt like he was having a nightmare, repeating the cycle over and over again.
Until a voice woke him up.
"Stinky boy who likes to brag, don't die in my room, it's hard to explain when you go out."
Babatu slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a large bed.
"Doctor, he looks like he's recovering well," a nurse wearing a mask put away her scissors, "thanks to you for not using my abilities, otherwise he'd be shattered to slag by now." ”
Su Ling sat aside and asked the rift girl curiously, "Where did you learn this medical knowledge?" ”
The rip woman pulled up the ends of her hair embarrassedly: "As a nurse, I feel it is necessary to understand relevant medical knowledge, so I read some ...... in private"
Su Ling then remembered that she always read those niche books, and in addition to romance stories, there were also medical magazines.
At that time, he felt that Baba was slaughtered and was going to throw the goods out and throw the corpse, but Qiuzi told him that he could still save it.
At that time, Su Ling was moved, it was great to have such a gentle and considerate nurse sister who would treat you when she was sick!
I didn't have any hope, but I didn't expect it to be saved, obediently, I can still live through the heart, should I say that the rift female doctor is superb or the body recovery ability of the monster is too strong?
Looking at Baba Tu with a confused face, Su Ling rua picked up his wolf ears, which felt fluffy and could play, well, the beast ears were not bad.
Due to the host's near-death, the sigil was lifted on its own, and now it will not touch it and die.
The other party wanted to dodge his groping pig hand, but Su Ling grabbed the kid's restless wolf tail with his backhand: "Don't move!" ”
Baba Tu, who was held by the tail, was like a cat lifted to the back of his neck, and he didn't struggle anymore with two purrs in his mouth, and sighed resignedly:
"I lost, you might as well kill me, my manly image will definitely be gone, what's the point of living?"
Su Ling doesn't understand what the image of a man is, if you are in the eyes of others, don't say manly, even if it is an iron man, it has to be soft.
But he didn't bother to think about this, and said while pouting the wolf's ear: "Don't worry, I won't pass it out, you are still that man, no one knows that you almost died in my hands today, as for tomorrow's game, you abstain." ”
Babatu breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at him again: "Why are you saving me?" Okay, I'm not going to listen to you. ”
Su Ling glared at him: "Who wants you little kid to follow, I just think it's a pity that you guys are so dead, just let you go." ”
The little kid was a little unconvinced: "You're not afraid of me ...... later"
Will I assassinate you later?
To be honest, if Babatu wants to be an assassin or a killer, he must be a first-class super master, anyone has to be in awe of three points, the ability to die when touched, teleportation without warning, if he attacks from the shadows, Su Ling will also have to drink hatred.
However, in order to combat the arrogance of this little kid, Su Ling patted his chest and pretended to force:
"People who can't afford to lose, what kind of man, I have confidence that you are not my opponent in your life, what are you afraid of, and besides, you are a guy who is used as a tool by others, you will never be able to understand the true meaning of manhood."
Babatu blinked and thoughtful: "I see......"
He propped himself up and said to Su Ling, "You made me understand, my manly purity is too low!" Today you let me go, I remember, and then you can ask me to do you three favors. ”
This little kid is extremely serious when he says these things, and for children, dishonest and trustworthy people are probably the target of ridicule from the group, right?
Su Ling watched him staggering out of bed and walking towards the door, and couldn't help but ask, "You just left like this?" Where are you going after that? ”
Babatu was a little confused: "I don't know, Assasin will probably look for me all over the street, but I don't want to do things for them now, by the way, I want to go home and see, I want to tell my brother how to be a man......"
His face was pale, and Su Ling saw two lines of bloody tears flowing from the face of this good child.
If a boy wants to be a man, he must lose something to understand.
Babatu staggered out of the hotel, wolf ears and tail drooping, like a child who had lost his soul after being criticized by an adult, although it was.
I don't know what he went through to become like this, Zeta, a cannibalistic desert, has too many tragedies hidden in the shadows.
Watching the figure gradually move away, Su Ling suddenly felt that he had grown up, not so annoying, and a bit like a man.
A man can cry and laugh, but he won't be like a puppet, and he doesn't care if he is at the mercy of others.
