Lying on the bed, silently counting the words "Zheng" I drew on the bedside, seventy-three, picking my fingers, I have been in the place of "Hell" for a whole year.

Lately, I've been having all sorts of bizarre dreams. I often dream that different people come after me, sometimes Lao Gen in a police (harmony) uniform, sometimes Chen Zhijun with a pistol, and sometimes even a master with a small bamboo stick. In my dreams, I was like a lost dog, running helplessly and helplessly, running on one country road after another.

When I woke up at night, I was always covered in stinky sweat and couldn't continue to sleep. Tossing and turning, and then I began to speculate wildly about why I was here, thinking about it one after another, but each one of them made me more anxious and flustered. That's why I used to keep my eyes open and wait for dawn on the ceiling, which was leaking with large chunks of water. I started to get scared of the night, and I was worried about whether I was going to go insane one night. The repression here fills me with anger. The grievances I once had, and the humiliations now make me face collapse.

If it weren't for Archie, maybe I would have gone crazy.

Every night at seven o'clock, Archie showed up on time at the training complex to wait for me. In the empty gym, it was just me and Archie. Most of the time, Archie didn't speak, he just stood by and watched me silently smoking a cigarette. Watch me swing my fists naked at one sandbag after another, and watch my hands bleed from the sandbags.

Archie told me that he liked to see me go crazy and that he was excited about my state. I wanted to talk to Archie about something, but I couldn't say a word, I was like I had aphasia, and I couldn't speak a few words a day, but fortunately, everyone here rarely communicated.

The gym has become my favorite place, and I only feel my presence after a sweat every day. I could only find my own dignity in the scabs of my fists.

Archie told me that he would take me out of here as long as I met his demands. I asked Archie what he was asking for, and Archie just smiled and didn't make a sound, leaving me with infinite reverie. But it was these reveries that kept me from being knocked down by myself.

The wake-up bell rang again, I got dressed, and I knew that a new day was about to begin again, and I looked at my empty eyes in the mirror, and my pale countenance.

I calmly walked into the kitchen and started my daily work.

I have been in the kitchen for several months, and Hu Laoba has arranged more and more things to be handed over to me, and sometimes even handed over the work of being in charge to me. Hu Laoba thought that I had a talent in the cooking industry, and he said that if I studied hard with him for a few years, I would definitely be able to go to a big restaurant to become a chef.

Actually, I'm really talented, I'm just more serious than everyone here. I'm afraid of my own thoughts, so I need to concentrate on one thing all the time, and I'm always in the kitchen figuring out how to cook the food. And Hu Laoba also gave me this opportunity, so my progress is quite obvious.

I am afraid to be serious in everything! The master's teachings are still in my ears.

Although Hu Laoba, who was in charge of everyone's three meals a day in the training camp, was also arrested, he was respected by many overseers and fighters in the training camp. Therefore, Hu Laoba's life is relatively much more comfortable than that of us handymen, except that he has no salary, and his treatment is the same as that of overseers. In such an environment, a chef like Hu Laoba is an extremely scarce talent.

However, this is not a place to think with common sense. In the afternoon, I don't know why, Hu Laoba was beaten severely. When Archie sent it back, Hu Laoba was already in a coma, and just from Hu Laoba's swollen face, this person was heavy-handed. Later, the Russian girl named Vija also came, brought a lot of medicine, and brought a doctor to check on Hu Laoba. On inspection, the injury was quite serious, and a rib was broken. Wei Jia personally changed the medicine for Hu Laoba, and his movements were quite skillful.

"I like the old (harmonious?I rub, is there any heavenly reason?) Hu," Archie rubbed his chin, "The beef soup he makes is very authentic, it is my favorite." ”

"How could it be like this?" "Who hit it?" "Is the old (harmonious) Hu okay?"

A group of helpers gathered around Archie, indignant.

"I heard that Lao (Harmony) Hu is very good to you?" Archie ignored the crowd and looked at me.

"Yes. I wiped the water stains on my hands with a rag, "He would leave me an egg every day." ”

Ever since Hu Laoba knew that I practiced boxing every night, he would put a boiled egg in the oven every day to strengthen my nutrition. Hu Laoba didn't communicate with me much, he did it because he was really kind, and he would give him the greatest help to everyone in the kitchen. And what he gave me was the only warmth I felt in this training camp.

"What do you think?" Archie handed me a cigarette and lit it for me.

"Who hurt Lao (Harmony) like this?" I took a deep breath and looked at Archie.

"Yuji Yamamoto. Archie said a name, "That kid always brings ethnic (I'm speechless) contradictions here, and I don't like him at all." ”

"Yuji Yamamoto?" I repeated the name, thinking of the Japanese right-winger who liked to provoke the Chinese everywhere, and I whispered, "I don't like Yuji Yamamoto's spitting either." ”

I understood what Archie meant, he wanted to see how I was doing. It was a chance to show myself in front of Archie. But I also need Archie's support. The more critical the moment, the more I need to be calm.

"Are you afraid of the little black room?" Archie suddenly laughed, "I heard that there are no rules in the ring in the little black room. ”

A little dark house.

I gritted my teeth at the thought of the black ring and Axim's bleeding face as it was pounded out.

I need to take this opportunity, I need Archie to take me out.

"I'm scared. I took a deep breath on the cigarette butt in my hand, "But I still owe Lao (Harmony) Hu's eggs." ”

"Hey, it seems that the eggs of the old (old harmony) Hu are not delicious. Archie listened to me and teased, "Then I'll make an appointment for you." ”

"Okay!" I nodded, "but does this count as the game I owe you?"

"Hey, you Chinese are shrewd. Archie smiled at me, "But, count!"

Entering a small black house with a kitchen guy, and still being a Chinese, I knew that Yuji Yamamoto would definitely agree. Sure enough, in the evening, Archie hurried to tell me that it was about nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

"You shouldn't have any pressure on him. Archie said to me lightly.

"When faced with life and death, no fighter can be ignored. I lit the cigarette that Archie had brought me.

"Well said. Archie patted me on the shoulder, "I'm really looking forward to your performance tomorrow, don't let me down!"

"I'm going to try to survive. "I spit out a smoke ring.

The thought of that arrogant Japanese made my whole body start to get excited. It's been a long time since I've punched this fighter's body, and I can't hold my fists anymore.

Hu Laoba came to me as soon as he woke up, and he blamed me for being too reckless and blamed me for not joking with my life. But he was helpless about the boxing match that had been set, so he could only drag his painful body and make me a steak that he was best at.

For Hu Laoba, this is the maximum he can do.

Although he didn't say it, the sad expression on Hu Laoba's face told me that he thought I would die tomorrow.

Eating the steak made by Hu Laoba, I laughed sincerely: "If I don't die tomorrow, you have to cook me another steak." ”

"Okay! I'll do it for you every day. Tears had already flowed out of Hu Laoba's lips when he spoke, flowing through his sausage-like lips.

"You have to remember your own commitments. "I'm in a rare good mood," he said aloud.

In other words, Hu Laoba steak is very tender, if you can eat it every day, it will be really good!
