Chapter 3339: Farm Adventure (Part 3)
The busy work to save the house situation finally ended when the rain eased during the day. Even Batman sighed with exhaustion.
He really began to doubt the level of Batman in other universes, how on earth did they train their assistants to be so clumsy?
Not to mention Jason was injured. Dick was mainly unable to carry on his shoulders or lift with his hands. Tim was even more unable to do work and still pointed fingers, the most useful thing in this night's work turned out to be the supervillain Poison Ivy Pamela from that universe!
Then Batman discovered that he still thought a bit too simply.
When busy, although everyone was useless, they could be considered united. But when they were done, they started to quarrel with each other.
"... If it weren't for you guys insisting on messing with that broken car, we wouldn't have been like this if we had reinforced the house earlier!" Harley stood in the center of the living room, hands on her hips, spraying three people, not falling behind at all.
"That big guy only knew about his broken ice cream machine! Otherwise, he wouldn't have twisted his foot. You only knew about dating your girlfriend. If you had taken the time you spent chatting about gossip, the house would have been repaired long ago. And you, aren't you usually known for being very smart? How come you couldn't even see which part of the house was unstable?!"
"Did you see it?" Tim retorted unceremoniously.
"But I was the first to discover it!"
"But you didn't do anything!"
Batman was buzzed by their quarreling. He wanted to leave, but it was windy and rainy outside, and he really didn't know where else he could go.
"Stop quarreling!" Batman opened his mouth and said, "If you waste all your time on quarreling, then the house will be blown down tonight. Now take some tools to reinforce the house."
Finally persuaded them to separate, but as a result, there was a disagreement on the issue of work allocation. Some people didn't want to do their share of work and went to be lazy. Some people went to find trouble for others, and some people said it was better not to do it and move away directly.
Batman was pressing the gourd and the ladle rose.
Originally he should have walked away, but some life details they mentioned made Batman couldn't help but listen. For example, the parts involving Alfred, as well as Selina and Aisha, and the old accounts of Wei En Manor life they dug out.
Through these descriptions, Batman roughly outlined the life scene of Wei En Manor in the universe where Bruce was.
Three adopted sons who were always studying and their childhood sweethearts, partners who became Hollywood stars and cute but troublesome little daughters, and the old butler who was always so conscientious. They made the manor jump up and down every day.
Some life details are actually trivial and boring, who was late for school today, who ate two more pieces of chocolate tomorrow, or who broke the swing and framed it on someone else, who didn't want to weed and bribed someone with football game tickets, etc.
But Batman listened with great interest on the side.
Rather than saying he thought of the future Wei En Manor, it is better to say he was recalling the past Wei En Manor.
When his parents and the old butler were still there, the atmosphere of the manor was similar, although there were not so many people, but the memories were full of trivial life details.
When people miss the past and look forward to the future, they always like to mention a word called "fireworks". Many people always don't understand what fireworks are, or use some overly abstract symbols to summarize it.
But in fact, psychologists believe that human psychology is not a "pillar" structure. The mental world of normal people is not supported by a few lonely pillars. On the contrary, the true appearance of the mental world should be fragmented.
This is not to say that human thinking is broken. Logic is just a component of the spirit. It has integrity and coherence, and cannot prove that the human spirit must be whole and coherent. It is full of unpredictable randomness.
So if you want to find a main support from it, such as personality and logic, and use it as a base point to repair human mental problems, it is actually very difficult.
Perhaps some people often hear some slogans like "rebuild your personality", "help you establish logical thinking", etc., but in fact, this is very difficult to do. Because pillars do not exist, and personality and logic are also composed of countless fine fragments.
There must also be people who have seen psychologists who have heard suggestions such as changing the environment. This suggestion translates to, you need to replace a part of the fragments. The focus is on changing daily life, interpersonal communication, and details at work.
These details are the so-called "fireworks". These micro-daily lives largely determine your mental state.
Human beings suffering from major changes will indeed lead to mental disorders, but most people rarely encounter major changes that can directly crush the spirit, all of which consume the spirit in endless daily life details.
Changing the way of life regularly is to replace a part of the fragments. Just like updating cells. This can greatly improve a person's mental state. For people in a state of depression or anxiety, it is a low-cost and effective treatment method.
Of course, there must be people who feel that this cost is not low. In the case of a stable job, how can it be said that you can change the environment if you want to?
This must be mentioned that daily details can be forged.
Some people like to play games, especially those with immersive plots, or simulation life games. In fact, it is essentially using life details in the virtual world to replace a part of the fragments in their own mental world.
Watching movies and TV shows is the same. Some people always like to substitute for the protagonist, and after watching a movie, it is like experiencing the protagonist's life again. This is also replacing mental fragments.
Even the simplest, daydreaming, which is imagining how beautiful and happy an environment you live in. This can also replace a small part of mental fragments and be used to update the mental state.
It's just that many depressed patients have lost the ability to daydream, so they have to change the environment physically. And if it hasn't reached this level, then making such assumptions frequently is actually strengthening the stability of the spirit.
Sometimes, daydreaming is not something that people can rationally control, and they always start to dream involuntarily. This is actually the brain giving you a signal, telling you that a part of the fragments should be replaced.
If your imagination is strong enough, you can fantasize in place. If you don't have such rich imagination, then go watch movies and TV shows, or play some relaxing and immersive games to adjust your mental state in time.
Batman actually hasn't recalled his previous life for a long time. To be precise, he hasn't recalled a complete scene. But listening to the noise in the living room, he couldn't help but think of the interesting things that happened when his parents were still there.
Thinking of Alfred, most of the memories revolve around Wei En Manor. But in fact, Bruce's childhood was quite rich, not just staying at home.
The Wei En couple often took little Bruce out to socialize, attend various banquets, study tours, summer camps, go on vacation when they were not busy with work, or simply take little Bruce along when they were on business trips, and play for two days locally when they were busy.
More and more details emerged in Batman's mind. Although because Cat Getan is rainy, the memories in Cat Getan are always gray, but there are many memories in other places that are very bright. For example, summer in Hawaii, autumn in Istanbul, rainy season in Sri Lanka, etc.
Batman's powerful memory allows him to have too many memories to look through, and by the time he came back to his senses, it was already dinner time.
What surprised him was that this group of children seemed to have completely forgotten what they had quarreled about just now, and gathered together excitedly again, discussing the ice cream machine. They even enthusiastically invited him to eat together.
Harley poured him a soda and said: "Thank you for your help last night, if it is still windy tonight, then it will be up to you again."
Looking at Harley's shining eyes, Batman couldn't say the words of refusal. Although she looks very much like the Joker girl in their universe, she is obviously much younger. Some actions are also very childish, which really makes it hard for him to associate the two together.
And the three Robins looked at each other, successfully attracting Batman's attention with such actions, and then Tim opened his mouth: "Look at your eyes and you know you don't know me. Then I have to introduce myself. Tim Drake, nice to meet you."
He reached out his hand and shook hands with Batman. Batman recalled the surname Drake in his mind, and then discovered that it was one of the few survivors after the typhoon destroyed the upper-class society.
Will he adopt this boy in the future? But since the Drake family didn't have any trouble, why would he want to be someone else's adopted son?
"That... there is one more thing." Tim said while smiling and looking left and right. Dick and Jason applauded in a pretentious manner.
"Can you help us repair that old ice cream machine? For the sake of us helping you too?"
Batman was slightly startled, as if he understood something. He looked towards the dining table, and everyone's facial features looked very bright in the light of the night, like a street that had just been washed by rain and half-dried in the sun, showing a lingering warmth from the dampness.
"Do you guys like eating ice cream very much?" Batman asked.
"Uh, it's not that I like it very much, but that old ice cream machine is really cool, it's hand-cranked. It might have been left over from the Western Development period..." The boys chattered and talked.
"Imagine, the gold diggers who were exposed to the sun for a day came to the bar at night and had a refreshing hand-cranked ice cream. The whiskey bottles there were all stuck with shells. Candles were lit in coconut shells, and the floor cracks were full of sea salt grains that couldn't be wiped clean..." Jason described intoxicatedly.
"I have to say the essence is in the hand-cranking, how boring is a machine that can make ice cream by pressing a button. Only enjoying your own labor results is the most delicious..."
"Alright." Batman's voice was like a coin hitting the ground. Everyone looked at him full of expectation. Then his face gradually overlapped with Bruce's, and even the words he said were exactly the same.
"But we have to make a three-chapter agreement..."
"Oh—" the laughter immediately turned into wailing.
"One portion per person after repair, no more." Batman said very ruthlessly, "Otherwise you must go to the dentist clinic to check your teeth."
"No!!!"
?? Controlling Robin to eat sweets is Batman's bottom-layer code
