One sunny morning, today is the weekend, no need to go to school, and the blonde boy is walking on his way to a fast-food restaurant in the new skate shoes his dad bought for him.He saved a little pocket money and was going to go to KFC to buy a package.In fact, the boy's family background is not bad, and there is usually no shortage of fried chicken to eat, but there is a toy included in the new package on the market today, which is what he wants.It's a pencil sharpener in the shape of a white broiler, and you can sharpen a pencil quickly and awesomely by simply inserting it into the tip of the chicken and rotating the head of the chicken.Well, to mature grown-ups, the toy seems to embody Colonel Sanders' bad taste and his cruel and merciless mockery of birds.But for a teenage boy, is this weird toy super cool?
So after the boy came out of the house, he almost ran towards the fast food restaurant, but he was not very healthy since he was a child, and the premature birth at birth made his respiratory tract a little weak, and after running two blocks, he gradually slowed down.He puffed out his face and breathed as hard as he could, but his head was still dizzy, and he understood his situation as he was not suitable for running, but in fact he just wanted to try the feeling of new shoes.The shoes were good, red, light and stylish, and he liked them very much.So when he found that he couldn't run, he simply stopped running, but imitated the walking posture of American GIs on the street, raising his legs and feet high.The sun falls on the upper, and the new shoe seems to be shining.To show off, this is pure show-off.However, in this era, the security in Midtown was not very good, so he didn't go far before his shoes were snatched away by the thugs, and two black eyes appeared on his face.He tried to escape, but he couldn't, he ran too slowly, and the villains easily grabbed him and snatched his shoes."
Click!"
There was a lightning bolt in the sky, and when the thunder came, it was actually too late, and Barry the Panda looked up at the sky, but he didn't see any lightning, but he didn't know when the clear blue sky turned into a dark cloud.Midtown is located in the central plains of North America, but the summer here is like this, maybe one second the sun is shining, the next second it is pouring rain.It didn't make sense in terms of geography and meteorology, but Barry remembered that it was like that when he was young.The rain fell, and the pouring rain instantly turned him into a soup chicken, and the clothes with missing buttons stuck to his body, he felt a chill.People ran home to hide from the rain, but he didn't know where to go, his money and shoes were gone, and he didn't have the face to go home, so he could only keep his head down and continue to wander.But then there was the sound of a car horn next to him."
Didi."
Turning her head, it was a red family car, the driver's window was lowered, revealing a woman's face, and she asked, "Do you want a ride?"
”Barry wanted to laugh, but his face hurt so much that he could only show a crying and laughing expression: "Mom." ”He has always been a sensible child, since his mother has come out to look for him, there is no reason to continue to compete with himself, he got into the car, took the towel handed by his mother, and wiped the rain on his face.At the same time, he recounted what happened to him not long ago in a very small voice, and said: "Sorry, Mom, the shoes that Dad bought for me are gone, and I met the bad boys at school." ”The fastest man in the world, the Flash, the red runner, Barry Allen has no idea what his future holds, his legend will be celebrated for decades, and his heroism and selfless sacrifice will continue to be revered and remembered for thousands of years.But the essence of a superhero is an ordinary person, and now as a child, he seems to have no other advantages than good grades.While boys his age were playing football or basketball and running around the court to attract attention, all Barry could do was watch from the sidelines, not participate at all.His health is not bad, but he can't compare with some students who specialize in sports, who have been engaged in sports since childhood, with the goal of joining various varsity teams in high school, and then electively entering the major leagues to make a lot of money.Barry has seen a lot of news about sports stars on TV, and those people earn more than ordinary working families can't think of, and boys can't help but be a little envious, after all, who doesn't want to drive a cool sports car and live in a big luxurious house?
But there was always a voice telling him that it didn't seem to be his way forward.So after being robbed, he wandered through the streets in a daze, and for some of these reasons, he felt lost.Although it was a bit early for a child to think about his future as a child who had just started middle school, Barry was a bit precocious and intelligent, and he wanted to work early to share the burden of life for his family.The car was still moving forward, and the mother honked the horn a few times, not because she was angry or had road rage after hearing what happened to the boy, but simply because the car was too old and the horn was a little poorly contacted.Like now, it was shot four times, but it only rang once.Many mothers will choose to go to the teacher at this time, or simply go to the police, but she has a different choice, she said: "Others snatch your shoes because he lacks love, but you are different, your father and I both love you, you can share your extra love with him, he has love, he will not rob you in the future." ”"I guess so."
Barry put down the towel, still a little sad: "I sometimes think if only I could run faster. ”"Oh?
Why do you think so?
”The mother was curious, she looked at her son and didn't think he looked like some kind of athlete.They don't even have that gene, and their whole family is not that tall and strong.The boy's father is more than 1.7 meters tall, and he is more than 1.5 meters tall, if his son can have an athlete body of more than 2 meters, it is probably a genetic mutation after suffering from nuclear radiation, right?"
Sometimes if you run fast enough, you can save a lot of trouble."
Barry spread his hands, he only felt that his eyes hurt again, and now he couldn't make an expression on his face: "For example, today, I can obviously not lose my shoes." ”"Oh, silly boy, you probably don't know what troubles those kids are running fast."
The woman put out her free hand, touched her son's head, and said with a smile: "When you grow up fast enough, maybe there will be new troubles." ”"Like what?
I can't think of it anyway. ”Barry only thinks that being able to avoid bad people and bad things is the biggest benefit."
For example, life pressure, such as feelings, such as career."
My mother gave a few random examples, and suddenly she seemed to remember something: "You don't plan to sell shoes at the supermarket counter in the future, do you?"
”Because of the dark circles under his eyes, Barry's eye roll looks even cuter.
