I heard Bull say that everyone around me had been taken care of, so I pressed him for details: "What about the others? There's a woman and a young man in my group, what happened to them?"
"That woman refused the training in Fengmen Village, saying that she and you were just friends."
The bull paused for a moment and continued, "We will conduct a three-month special training program for your team. As for what you can learn during this time, that will depend on your own comprehension."
I heard that Manjing and Monkey were also sent there for training, and I asked, "Will they suffer as much as I have here?"
“Everyone has a different teaching style and faces different situations. Instead of wasting your time, you should focus on yourself.”
By this time, Mamian had finished eating. He got up and walked towards me, grabbing the railing with one hand and dragging my cage towards the center of the open space.
I weigh 65 kilograms myself, and with this iron cage, I'd probably weigh over 100 kilograms. Yet, the horse-faced demon dragged the cage around without any apparent effort.
The sun was already setting, and only the edges of the arena were exposed to sunlight, but Ma Mian had dragged my cage into the sunlight.
I shielded my eyes from the glaring sunlight and asked Horse-Face, "What do you mean by this? You promised to teach me kung fu, but it turned into sunbathing? Do I need to take calcium supplements before I can learn?"
Without saying a word, Horse-Face dragged me into the sunlight and went straight with Ox-Head.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, I was truly bewildered. I shouted, "Hey! What do you mean by this? You promised to train, and then you made me run twenty kilometers of mountain trails, and then nothing happened? What are you trying to do?"
The two of them acted as if they couldn't hear me, and left on their own, disappearing into the depths of the woods.
"Damn it!"
I watched the two people disappear into the woods, then kicked the cage.
Before, when the snake woman said she would find someone to teach me kung fu, I thought it would be like when my grandfather taught me kung fu when I was a child, where he would have me practice a set of punches and then point out my shortcomings.
At worst, it's a two-on-two match, and then they teach me some practical techniques.
Now look what's happened! They don't treat me like a human being at all. They actually locked me up in a dog cage and just ignored me.
I was locked in a cage, and after yelling and cursing for a long time, I realized they really didn't care about me anymore, so I had to think of a solution.
What's the point of these guys not letting me eat all day and draining my energy?
Since it's called training, it's definitely not just about torturing me.
Is this a test of my will to survive?
impossible!
Since they said they only have three months, then every day should be precious.
Is it to see how I react in an emergency?
That's quite possible.
Perhaps these two people locked me up here to see if I would follow the rules.
With that in mind, I began to study the lock on the iron cage.
This is an embedded lock; the entire lockbox is welded to the cage, and I can't even see the interlocking holes from inside.
While I still had the strength, I stretched my legs out of the cage, used all my strength to knock it over, and then dragged the heavy iron cage, weighing over 100 pounds, toward the dining table for the two of us.
Fortunately, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face didn't clean up the table when they left. I didn't care about being picky about the food they left behind, so I just picked it up and stuffed it into my mouth, wanting to fill my stomach first and then find something to pry open the cage.
Just as I was about to eat, the two of them walked back from a distance.
When Ox-Head saw me reaching for the braised beef on the table, he kicked the table over and said to Horse-Face, "See what I told you? I knew this kid was up to no good and would definitely come back to steal food, right?"
"Twenty kilometers is indeed too short. I should have made him run forty kilometers."
Horse-faced man gave me a cold look, then pulled on the iron cage again and walked towards the center of the open space.
I was almost completely exhausted from dragging the iron cage here, and seeing the horse-faced demon's actions made me so angry I wanted to kill him. I charged straight at him.
Horse-face seemed to have anticipated my move; he stuck a silver needle into my leg, instantly rendering me unable to fight.
When Horse-Face dragged the cage back, Ox-Head also carried a large bundle of chains, which he used to tightly wrap the cage. He then hung the chains on several trees nearby and said to Horse-Face, "Now you can rest assured. It's wrapped up so tightly that even I would have a hard time getting out, let alone him!"
Horse-faced nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go."
"Hey! Are you two seriously ill? This is training, not prison! Why are you watching me so closely?"
I glared at the two of them, barely suppressing the urge to curse, and yelled, "Even if it's training and you don't let me eat, you don't have to deny me water either, do you?! Hey!!"
...
I was locked in a cage, and I cursed until my voice was hoarse. Apart from the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, no one paid any attention to me.
Once I realized I'd really been tricked by those two bastards, I was so frustrated I was about to explode.
All day today, I only ate a little breakfast in the morning, and because of the arrival of the beautiful snake, I only ate half full.
When it was lunchtime, Niu Tou took me up the mountain and made me run 20 kilometers before locking me in this cage.
Having not eaten or drunk anything all day, and having spent half the day cursing people, I felt my throat was completely parched, and I couldn't even squeeze out any saliva to moisten it.
Left with no other choice, I reached my hand outside the cage, pulled out some grass roots, and stuffed them into my mouth to chew.
There were so many mosquitoes in this forest that the constant buzzing at night made me restless, and coupled with my unbearable hunger, I couldn't sleep a wink all night.
That night, I lay in the cage thinking all night and decided that as soon as Ox-Head and Horse-Face came up at dawn, I would tell them that I was not participating in this bullshit special training.
I'm worth hundreds of millions now, and Hongyu Company earns tens of millions every year. If I'm worried about my personal safety, I can hire more bodyguards at a high price. Why should I put up with this?
When dawn broke, neither of the two people showed up.
It was noon, and the sun was shining down from above. I felt like a salted fish being dried in the sun, my mouth agape, breathing painfully.
By noon on the third day, my tongue and lips were cracked, and even breathing felt like swallowing razor blades.
At that moment, I had no feelings left; all I wanted was some water to keep me alive.
But at that point, I couldn't even squeeze out any more urine.
Just as I was losing consciousness and felt like I was about to die of thirst.
Those two damned bastards, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, have finally shown up.
