Chapter 20: The Child Who Gets in the Way Again

After the cute child left, the atmosphere in the car has been a little dreary and depressing.

"What's that?"

Perhaps feeling that his unprovoked anger was a bit excessive, Clark took the initiative to stir up the topic and pointed to the far away field.

"Honey, we don't have your eyesight, but I've been around there before, and there's a large green bean field, one of your favorite foods."

Matha pulled Hank, Clark pointed at it, and Hank wanted to see it too, obviously he had been stung by a worm last month.

"What do they use to stew green beans, beef or pork? Wait, the hourglass hasn't been returned to ......"

Only then did Clark realize that he was holding the kid's thing in his hand, and looked at the sand, and there were still five minutes before the light fell?

"He said he gave it to you as a greeting gift, Clark, take it, I didn't know you liked little things like this, and I always give you some strange gifts for your birthday." Martha apologizes to Clark.

"It's okay, Mom, I don't really like hourglasses, it's just that this thing feels a lot like ......"

Clark wanted to bring up the USB stick-like thing, which might be hiding the secret of his true origins.

"We don't want to arbitrarily judge other people's eating habits, but speaking of which, Clark, what are you going to grow in Kansas in the future? Corn? Or green beans? ”

Jonathan spoke suddenly, interrupting Clark's association of the relationship between the hourglass and the Kryptonite Key.

There seemed to be two choices he gave, but in fact there was only one, which completely infuriated Clark.

"So I have to live on the farm for the rest of my life? This is the life you prepared for me? Do I have no real choice? True! ”

Clarke, who had just come out of his sulking and sought relief with a topic, became angry again.

He is no longer a child under the age of ten, he has a super brain, his thinking is far more lively than a normal person, his life is like a normal person is caught in a narrow ventilation duct and is not allowed to advance or retreat.

Of course, his superbrain may never have actually been used.

"Five generations of our ancestors have been farmers, running farms, feeding a lot of people, don't you think this is a serious life?" Jonathan said this with selfish motives.

Clark comes from another world, perhaps carrying with him a great purpose that Jonathan didn't know.

Clark may have a stake in the fate of two civilizations, for better or worse, but one day, Clark must stand up and stand up and be the person he should be.

But Jonathan didn't want to, he didn't want to see Clark under such terrible pressure, he didn't want to lose this son, and even he would have a possessive heart.

If Clark's biological parents are still around, then will Jonathan and Martha share Clark's love with them?

"I don't think that's serious, but I'm grown up and I should be able to do my own thing! It's up to me to make the decision for myself! ”

Clark struggled to defend himself.

"But it's a family tradition." Jonathan was driving the car, seemingly calm on the surface, but in fact, the psychological defense line was about to collapse, he didn't have much selfishness, and even gave him some time, he might be able to convince himself in turn.

"That's your family, not mine, you're not my father, just a guy who picked me up in a cornfield, that's all!" Clarke, who was in the rebellious period, was kidnapped by Jonathan's ideals and was so angry that he couldn't say anything.

"Gram! Pull! Gram! Martha, who Ben also wanted to help Clark persuade Jonathan, heard this, and her eyes came directly to her son, and she said word by word with disbelief.

Clark's words hit Jonathan's heart, he felt guilty for never being able to bring Clark the love of his biological parents, and he occasionally wondered if Clark's biological parents would give him better love.

However, Jonathan's guilt is only for himself, and he does not allow Clark to sting Martha's heart as well.

"Yes, we are not your biological parents, but I do everything I can to be the best I can be, and I am inferior to your mother in this regard.

For seventeen years, every day has passed like this, but now that you're older, what we give you is not enough......"

Clark felt a little uneasy in Jonathan's somewhat calm and sighing tone, and he could feel the love in Jonathan's words.

"Dad......" Clark turned the hourglass with both hands, looking at his father.

Before he could apologize, Martha frowned and looked at the sky in the distance, and Jonathan slowly slowed the car to a halt, leaving only Clark to wait and talk.

After getting out of the car, the sun shone down and fell on Jonathan's shoulders, but he didn't feel any warmth.

Clark got out of the car, the wind was getting louder and louder in the cold sunlight, and he suddenly thought of something, and looked at the hourglass in his hand.

"One hundred and ninety-six seconds!"

"Clark, take your mother to take refuge under the bridge over there, and I'll help evacuate the crowd." Holding a child crying from the crowd in front of him and separated from his mother, Jonathan said.

Clark calculated the speed of the tornado that connected the heavens and the earth, thinking that it should be too late, he hurriedly took his mother to the bridge first, even if he was very unwilling, but Martha closed the car door with her hand, and Hank whimpered.

Under the bridge, Martha remembered, "Damn, I locked Hank in the car!" ”

Clark didn't hesitate and ran back.

"What are you going to do?" Jonathan was puzzled.

"Hank is still in the car."

"You take care of this kid, I'll save Hank!"

Jonathan didn't give Clark time to refuse, and he ran towards the traffic on the highway.

The ignorant little girl took the hourglass from his hand, and he didn't pay attention.

When Clark turned back, he and his mother saw a car swept up more than ten meters by the strong wind and smashed into the family station wagon he was most familiar with.

"Jonathan!" Martha wanted to rush over, but Clark tried desperately to stop him, even if he wanted more!

Hank rushed over and hid at Martha's feet.

However, at the current distance, Martha could no longer see clearly, the storm there was terrible.

But Clark could, his super vision watched Jonathan climb out of the station wagon with difficulty, and Clark's clairvoyant eye even saw his father's broken leg bone!

Clarke, who wanted to do anything and rushed out just to save one of the two most important people in his life so far, was stopped by a hand.

The hand belonged to Jonathan, who held the station wagon with one hand and spread the other hand to him in a no.

"We've always wanted the best for you, Clark, for seventeen years, day after day, ......"

The words still echoed in Clark's mind.

Clark watched as the figure fell apart in the storm!

He opened his mouth wide, but he didn't dare to make a sound, he was afraid that his emotions would lose control and burst out with uncontrollable power, and tears wanted to flow out, but he could only be in front of Martha, unwilling to let her see his expression.

"Time ......"

Clark finally remembered the hourglass, and he looked into his palm, but there was nothing.

Then he turned his head, and his tear-stained face appeared in front of everyone, but no one noticed his sadness.

He saw the hourglass, in the hands of the little girl he rescued, at this moment, the last grain of sand had just flowed.

He hated God inexplicably, and he hated the kid who said, "It's your time."

The little girl's parents noticed and returned the hourglass to the older boy who had just lost his parents.

Clark took the hourglass, and with all his strength he tried to crush it!

However, the Iron Body and Super Powers couldn't destroy it.

"Ahh

In a fit of rage, Clark threw it out.

However, being able to project the force of a motorcycle for hundreds of meters only throws the hourglass out of a mere two meters.

The hourglass was finally turned upside down, and it began to flow again.

Beside Clark, the light flowed and the sunlight in the sky was not so cold, sprinkled on the top of the tour bus.

And he sat in the car.

Mother Martha then spoke: "Thank you dear, Jonathan, why do you stop?" ”

The words he had heard once sounded like heaven in Clark's ears.

Excitedly and excitedly, he hugged Jonathan, who was about to get out of the car, from the co-pilot.

"Daddy!"

This time it won't be able to fix it for the whole family.

"Okay, I'm here to help a cute and beautiful kid instead of being robbed again, you're too wary, Clark!"

After breaking free from the joy that Jonathan was okay from going back in time, Clark looked at the little figure.

That's when he realized what that might be!
