Chapter 301: Adopted by Monkeys
A tricycle transported all the sacks to the city. When passing by the edge of a cliff, the vehicle continuously shook.
Owen's sack was jolted and tumbled all the way down the cliff.
Due to the large amount of sponge inside the sack, Owen didn't get injured after falling off the cliff. However, his mouth was muffled and his hands and feet were tied, making him extremely uncomfortable and unable to move.
After some time, three wild monkeys passed by this place.
The mother monkey thought there was something delicious hidden in the sack, so she made a great effort to open it, wanting to share the good food with her children.
After uncovering the sponges, she found a human child tied up inside. She was instantly stunned.
The mother monkey pulled the rag out of Owen's mouth, and he cried out, "Mom," in a sad and aggrieved manner.
Upon hearing the word "mom" and witnessing Owen's pitiful crying, the mother monkey's maternal love overflowed.
She untied Owen and allowed the little monkey to give him the bananas in its claws to eat.
Little Owen didn't know which way to go next, so he followed the monkeys to a forest at the bottom of the cliff.
The mother monkey was very kind and treated Owen as her own child. Every day, no matter how much food she obtained, she would divide it equally between Owen and her two little monkeys.
There were many monkeys in the forest, but not all of them liked Owen. Most monkeys saw him as different and took every opportunity to tease and bully him.
Under the protection of the mother monkey, Owen lived safely for five years. When he turned six, the mother monkey fell ill and passed away, leaving him and his two monkey brothers devastated.
Later, the two monkey brothers each found their own female monkeys, establishing their own small families. Soon, they had their own little monkeys.
The lifespan of monkeys is only about 20 years. They become mature by four or five and can get married and have children.
However, humans mature at the age of 18, so even though the two monkey brothers got married and had children, Owen was still a child.
The monkey brothers advised Owen to get married and have children, enthusiastically introducing him to female monkeys. However, six-year-old Owen was always unwilling and continued to live in the mother monkey's old dwelling for two years on his own.
The monkeys were small in size, even after seven or eight years, they were still the same size as babies.
However, eight-year-old Owen had grown to 1.5 meters tall, making him a hairless and ugly giant in the eyes of the monkeys.
During that time, Owen felt very inferior and didn't know why he didn't have fur.
He was abducted by traffickers at the age of one, so his memories of humans were very vague. He thought he was just a monkey, albeit an ugly one.
It wasn't until one day when he went to pick wild fruits and accidentally stumbled upon a deceased human that he realized he was also a human.
He took off the clothes of the dead person and put them on himself, burying the deceased, and then moved away from the forest, finding a cave to live in solitude.
He no longer only ate wild fruits but instead relied on his own intuition to learn hunting, fishing, and many other skills for survival.
One day, while chasing a wild rabbit, he stumbled upon another cave.
This cave had a stone door with a mechanism, but it wasn't difficult to solve. The wild rabbit simply jumped, and the stone door automatically opened.
Entering the mountains...
Afterward, he discovered many blue and white flowers, hanging like bells on the vines.
When the wild rabbit ate a few flowers from the vines, it immediately died from poison, and he realized that these flowers were highly toxic.
At eight years old, Owen was terrified yet unable to resist the temptation of the secret hidden in the depths of the cave.
He had never been to school and couldn't read, but he could understand the diagrams. He eagerly practiced according to the diagrams and only after a long time did he realize that these were ancient secret martial arts manuals left behind by the ancients.
Inside the cave with the diagrams, there were many venomous snakes, but he didn't know why he wasn't afraid of them. Whenever he was hungry, he would drink snake blood.
He stayed in this cave for half a year, until he understood all the diagrams, and then he left the cave to return to his original cave to devote himself to cultivation.
