Chapter 435: Recognize the dog as the father, the father is kind and the son is filial.
It is said that everyone likes a guide. With Bruce, a local, leading the way, Hogg and his companions quickly arrived at the main city of Rome and saw this political and cultural center of the Mediterranean.
Looking at the bustling port, Hogg, who was put in a cage and sneaked in as a pet, smacked his lips and thought that these ancient people actually looked okay, not as dirty and messy as he had imagined. He thought this place was like medieval Europe, with shit and urine everywhere.
Hearing his brother's thoughts, Xiong Dorn sneered and called Hogg uneducated and ignorant, not even knowing the history of his hometown:
"You think Rome is Paris? According to a historical record, humans first saw the Four Chaos Gods in Europe in 2024 AD. It seemed to be the so-called Olympic Games. I really don't know why humans at that time liked to get together to do such things."
"Although this place is still a primitive agricultural society, as far as I know, the earliest public toilets were already in this Roman city-state. If you dare to urinate or defecate anywhere, your tools will be confiscated."
"Oh, this!" Hogg really didn't expect that Rogdorn, who looked like he knew nothing at all, actually knew so much. But this made him look very uncultured!
Hogg, who had already returned the historical knowledge to the teacher, was spinning his brain. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of anything to refute his point of view, but he still argued:
"Don't try to show off to me here. Look, isn't there a man peeing secretly in the corner on the right? What do you think? Why haven't his tools been confiscated?"
Dorn didn't want to pay any attention to this uneducated brother, and once again pretended to be a brainless polar bear, lying in the cage thinking about life, but his small eyes were still staring at the scum who urinated and defecated everywhere.
Seeing that Bruce had brought back two strange animals from the sea, the dock officials hurried to meet him and praised Bruce for his great achievements at a young age, saying that he would definitely inherit his father's legacy and manage the dock and coast.
If Bruce had heard this in the past, he would have been secretly delighted, but after having walked through death's door once, he was no longer the ignorant young man he used to be. After hearing this mindless compliment, he gradually began to think.
"Don't move those two animals. This is a gift I brought to my father. Just do what you are supposed to do."
Not sure why the silly boy from the past would be annoyed with him, the tax officer quickly changed his words, promised that he would never let them suffer any loss, and reminded them that your parents had come to the port to greet you.
After all, he was still a young man. Upon hearing his parents coming, Bruce ran out directly. After searching for a while, he ran into the arms of a middle-aged couple:
"Father, Mother, I'm back alive!"
Like modern parents, the successful Thomas Wayne loved his only son very much, otherwise he would not have brought his wife Martha to the port to greet him in advance.
But as a father, he still maintained his usual dignity. After first confirming that his beloved son was not injured, he gave him a few simple words of urging and then left him to Martha, allowing his wife to make up for the tenderness.
"My pride, did you catch any big fish this time?"
Mrs. Martha, with her pearl necklace shining brightly and her still charming demeanor, rubbed Bruce's head a few times and walked slowly towards the dock with her family, wanting to see what he had gained from this voyage.
Bruce felt bad when asked about his catch. As a veteran in the Air Force, he had already forgotten about it and did not buy fresh fish at the dock in advance. He could only answer vaguely:
"Mother, fish are not important in quantity. One or two small fish don't mean much. I encountered two mythical beasts this time. You will know when you see them. However, the mythical beast that looks like a dwarf dog has a bad temper. Please be careful when you speak."
Hearing this, Thomas, who had fought on the battlefield before, thought, "It's just a dog. What's the big deal? Can you point your finger at me and scold me?" He learned to exaggerate at such a young age. When he got home, he must make up for the belated fatherly love.
But when the Wayne family saw the two Hogg beasts, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne discovered that their child was not lying. The two animals were indeed very strange. One was a fat bear with white fur, and the other was a strange dog with short legs and stupidity.
And the most interesting thing is that they did not kill each other in the cage. After being stared at for a long time, they would show an impatient expression on their faces, as if they had intelligence.
Perhaps loving furry things is in human DNA. The first time she saw Hogg, Mrs. Martha felt that this dog was destined to be with her, so she reached into the cage and rubbed the dog's head. Thomas, who was skilled and bold, thought that Dorn was very much to his taste and wanted to reach out and touch him, but when his palm was about to touch Dorn's head, he heard the white bear open his mouth and scold:
"Get out of here, you scum! If you dare to touch my head with your hand that you just peed on, do you believe I will bite you to death? Bah! Filthy! You have brought shame to us old Romans."
Thinking he was hallucinating, before Thomas could confirm, he heard the dog beside him bark:
"That woman, keep scratching your back. My neck is itchy but I can't reach it. Thomas, you were squatting in the corner peeing and we saw you. You'd better listen to Dawn, or you'll be swallowed and pooped. I can't save you."
???
It's not scary to be exposed to the embarrassing things, what's scary is that even the dog knows it. Thomas, who was embarrassed in front of his family, blushed and denied that it was not him at all. After that, he realized why the two animals could speak human language.
Seeing that this was not the place to talk, Bruce hurriedly pulled his parents back and told them to talk about this in detail when they got home.
After several twists and turns, Thomas finally understood what was going on. He looked at Hogg and the other man sitting on the couch beside him enjoying the food the maids fed them. He was speechless for a long time. Finally, after Martha reminded him, he spoke:
"Mr. Dog and Mr. Bear, since you saved my offspring, I, Thomas Wayne, am not an ungrateful person. I will definitely repay you. Isn't it just about finding someone? Our Wayne family is rich, if nothing else!"
It was as if he had heard these words before. Since Zhongdeng was so sensible, Hogg, who was lying in Martha's arms, turned over and took out the two portraits of the emperor directly from the storage bell, asking him to find them according to the people on them.
Such mysterious means naturally made the Waynes and their partner certain that Hogg and the other two were the so-called divine beasts, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why they could bring Bruce back from death.
"Don't worry, Brother Gou. I promise to help you find this. Damn, what a handsome man. He's even one-third as good as me. I guess this must be your father. No wonder he's so handsome and talented, and he can give birth to two handsome men."
"Bruce come here quickly, from now on these are your Uncle Hogg and Uncle Dorn, treat them like you would treat me."
"Hahaha! This is so interesting. I never thought I could meet someone like you in this era. I understand what you mean. As long as you complete the task, I can give you everything you want."
Both are thousand-year-old foxes. Hogg did not feel offended at all for his father being on guard against him at this moment. Instead, he felt a little bit of identification with him. Compared with him, Old Man Huang was not even as good as an ordinary person.
Seeing that the cooperation was reached, Hogg decided to give a little sweetness to show that what he said was true. He directly took out a needle and injected it into the chest of the unsuspecting Martha.
"Asshole, what have you done! You damn devil, I can tell at a glance that you are not human"
Holding down the father and son who were about to get up, Dorn was afraid that he would crush them to pieces if he used too much force, and Hogg also warned them:
"Open your eyes and take a look. This is the great victory of genetic engineering, Mrs. Martha, no, Miss Martha, how do you feel now?"
“I feel so alive!”
Mrs. Martha, who still had her original charm, regained her youthfulness. Some of her fine wrinkles disappeared, and she seemed to be 20 years younger. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is Bruce's sister.
Seeing this, Thomas quickly changed his expression and slapped Bruce on the head, cursing:
"How dare you offend your uncle Hogg? Call me father now!"
"What? Me!"
