I don't know which great philosopher said it, but life is a circle, and you always end up back at the starting point.
Of course, maybe this great philosopher doesn’t exist at all, and the author is just making it up. But no matter what, Wang Ping feels that he is in this circle, and it is a small circle.
Not only were the environments and experiences the same, Wang Ping felt that even the "roommates" were the same.
Wang Ping was deeply impressed by the "senior" he first saw at the beginning of his "badger life". After all, he rarely encountered such a calm animal that could eat and drink openly while being locked up, and then run away in an orderly manner after getting enough rest.
Under normal circumstances, wild animals, no matter what species or intelligence they have, will panic for a while after being suddenly imprisoned. Those with strong tempers may even go on a hunger strike. Even Wang Ping, a "human", was not immune to this and was severely taught a lesson by the "senior".
As for the one in front of him, Wang Ping looked from the white fur on its head to the claws under its feet. It had the same calm and slightly disdainful look, the same firm and powerful steps. Every detail revealed the aura of a "predecessor".
"So, it's you, huh, senior?"
However, if the guy in front of him was really his former "roommate", then this guy was really unlucky. He finally escaped from the zoo, but was caught and locked up again.
"That's what we call a chance encounter. Haha, you deserve it! I told you to abandon me and run away!"
Wang Ping was about to gloat over the misfortune, but suddenly he froze. After realizing what was happening, he suddenly felt unhappy.
Damn, wasn't my buddy also locked up? If that's the case, I'm pretty unlucky! What's even more unlucky is that I'm locked up with this guy again.
Thinking of what happened when he just woke up, Wang Ping felt his head ache again. New and old hatreds suddenly surged up.
When he first met this guy, his food was taken away, he was beaten, and finally he was forced to do hard labor and move bricks. In the end, he was tricked by this guy and almost ran away. Now that he sees his "old friend", he can still eat so calmly
"Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you embarrassed?"
Wang Ping was angry.
"I just don't believe it. I've adapted to being an animal for such a long time that I've almost mastered the coordination of this body. Even hyenas can't last two moves under me, so how can I not be able to beat you?"
Perhaps because Wang Ping's eyes suddenly became unfriendly, the honey badger that was eating suddenly turned around and hissed twice at Wang Ping.
Judging from the facial expressions and actions, Wang Ping felt that it was probably not a "good thing".
"How dare you scold me?"
Since he was determined to take revenge, Wang Ping decided to strike first and defeat this guy first.
Wang Ping exerted force with his hind paws and pounced forward on the spot, with his two front paws spread out to the left and right, and his left paw lashed hard at the head of his "predecessor".
The sensitivity of the honey badger's claws is very average, but its body is extremely flexible. Seeing Wang Ping suddenly pounce on him, the "senior" on the opposite side raised his head and avoided Wang Ping's attack.
However, the badger thought that he was no longer the same as before, and took a stance similar to the starting stance of free fighting, and had been preparing for the badger to dodge. As soon as the badger raised his head, the right claw that had been raised long ago slapped down fiercely on the other side.
Wang Ping's strength was comparable to that of an adult man, and with this swipe of his claw, he knocked the other person to the ground.
"Hey, are you stupid? I know martial arts!"
Under the influence of inertia, just as he knocked the opponent down and passed by him, Wang Ping turned around with the force of his right paw, then pushed off the ground with his hind paws and pounced on him again.
"The guy next door, I told you to hit me last time! I told you to steal my food! I told you to force me to work!"
His left paw pressed tightly on the guy's neck, and his right paw hit the back of the "predecessor's" head again and again.
"Are you convinced? I just want to ask you whether you are convinced or not."
“Hiss!”
The "senior" under him kept kicking his hind paws backwards, leaving white marks on the concrete floor. At the same time, he kept making "hissing" sounds from his mouth, twisting his body from side to side, struggling violently.
Perhaps he was caught off guard by Wang Ping's "left and right hooks" and was suppressed in one encounter. However, the flat-headed brother's physique is not to be underestimated. Wang Ping's claws pulled down with great force, but the guy under him did not show any sign of giving in.
"Still not convinced?"
Wang Ping's force increased.
At this moment, in Wang Ping's imagination, Gu Laosan, who should have been having fun in the hotel, was anxiously looking for something in various blocks.
Gu Lang regretted it.
In other words, he was not ready to send Wang Ping away at all, but the incident happened in a daze.
Without any joy, Gu Laosan felt the uneasy feeling when Wang Ping was not around. It was as if he suddenly felt lonely in a foreign land, so depressed that he wanted to escape.
Last night, everyone, including him, drank too much. Under the influence of alcohol, Gu Laosan suddenly remembered the idea of replacing Wang Ping. When he told Toler, who was also confused, the other party immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised Gu Laosan for his responsibility.
So a bunch of drunkards found a broker from nowhere and sold Wang Ping for no apparent reason. Yes, they literally sold him, not sent him to a zoo as someone had imagined. When he woke up in the morning, the extra tsny shillings in someone's bag silently told of this fact.
After Gu Laosan recalled this scene, he was completely stunned.
After that, he had no recollection of how he separated from Toler and the others and how he returned to the hotel, let alone what the dark local broker looked like last night.
In desperation, the anxious and sweaty Gu Lang could only go back to the "Canary" bar and ask people one by one based on his memory. After all, they were foreign friends and they were not short of money. The duty manager simply arranged a security guard to take him to find the bartenders who had finished their night shift to see if there was anyone who knew about it.
On the other side, the battle between Wang Ping and a "predecessor" also reached a climax.
Although the start was smooth, the badger was a little distracted when beating his opponent. It was mainly because he was enjoying the fight so much that he forgot the rhythm, and was finally freed by the "senior" under him, who turned over and grabbed him and hit him in the face.
However, Wang Ping reacted quickly, and immediately jumped back when he was hit, avoiding the opponent's mouth that was about to bite him. Then he jumped back and forth with his two short legs, changing positions and continuing to look for opportunities to attack.
Unfortunately, this time, the "senior" did not give him a chance. Before Wang Ping could make a move, the flat-headed brother turned over and rushed over, biting Wang Ping's neck.
Wang Ping raised one of his hind legs and subconsciously gave a side kick, but was almost hit on his "little ball" by the opponent's claw, which scared him so much that he broke into a cold sweat.
The two quickly got tangled up together and rolled into a ball. Even if the keeper came, he probably couldn't tell which was which.
However, the badger still took advantage of its strength, and soon Wang Ping found the right opportunity and slammed the badger's neck to the ground. Just as he was about to launch another set of punches, he saw the back of the "senior" strangely bent 90 degrees, and the furry little chrysanthemum was aimed at Wang Ping's face.
"Hmm? (w)... Senior, what are you doing?"
Wang Ping was stunned for a moment.
“Puff~~~~”
An indescribable smell suddenly hit Wang Ping in the face. It was as if someone had detonated a tear gas bomb in his face. His eyes were so spicy that he couldn't open them, and his nose and throat were suffocated by the stench. Tears, saliva, and snot all flowed out at once.
He dodged back subconsciously, but before Wang Ping could take two steps, he felt a pain in his nose. The other party had turned around and pounced on him, biting the tip of his nose hard.
“Ah~~~~”
“Ah~~~Ah~!!!”
In the small cement cubicle, there were screams that were getting louder and louder, like a husky being run over by a car.
