Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 105 Return and Splash

Videos are different from photos.It's live, and there's always something new to discover with every viewing.To paraphrase, videos and artworks describe what might have happened.Our generation is very lucky, the memories left to future generations and ourselves are vivid and colorful, and can be easily recalled with our fingers at any time—as long as we have not completely forgotten the sounds and images composed of those data.Although time has slipped away a lot, looking back at this period of the past, your voices sounded again, and it is inevitable to have that kind of intimacy, as if time has reappeared in front of you.

Summer is coming, and the sun paints the earth with lush gold.In this city, spring is just a dream that is too short, and when you open your eyes, it will be hot and dry.Whether in memory or now, the climate has always been the same. If it weren't for the changes in one's own body, who can prove that time flows instead of quietly accumulating in the city?Jiang Yuan is like a snail shell, with a solid and ancient city wall outside, he gets in, falls asleep, wakes up the same way, and can have another longer dream than before.

But I know, we parted early.Dreams can be done for a long time, but you have to wake up after all, just like every child must grow up.

I'm going to turn the sound up a bit so that the video can grab my attention better.

"Hello everyone. Today I will explain the first round of the Jiangyuan Mayor's Cup semi-finals. Jiangyuan No. 4 Middle School played at home against Jiangyuan University of Science and Technology Affiliated Middle School. Players from both sides have not yet entered the field, so we take this opportunity Let me introduce the situation of the opponents. The Polytechnic High School wearing bright red jerseys eliminated Xiling Middle School with a total score of 1:[-] in the quarterfinals. Their main players are..."

My sister is always so organized.However, compared to last semester's commentary, she seemed less lively.Probably because I wasn't in the stands.It seemed that when I was around, she could tease me unscrupulously, pretending to be domineering or bullying.I heard that she is usually very quiet, and she rarely jokes with people, especially boys—it seems that I don’t interact with the girls in the class very much.It's already the second day of junior high school, and there are a few girls I haven't taken the initiative to talk to.Sometimes I really don't know how to talk to girls.First of all, I already have a lot of things to do, homework and exams are endless, and I am exhausted thinking about it.Secondly, all kinds of rules and regulations made me feel that talking to girls might be looked at suspiciously by my peers or teachers.I don't know if my sister is like this, but this kind of barrier exists more or less.We grew up in the densely packed anti-theft doors of the unit building, and when we arrived at school, we had to separate ourselves with the gaps drawn between the small tables--the exam is coming, and the exam is commonplace, everyone The seats should be farther and farther apart.

Why am I thinking about these things again?Obviously, he was going to watch the video.Memories are like soaking myself in a bathtub, the hot water rushes, sometimes the water in the basin covers my feet, but the water spray from the faucet splashes on my body uncontrollably.My thoughts are like splashes of water, inadvertently flying elsewhere.

On the screen, only the voice of the elder sister was still talking, and her accident also came.With a muffled sound, someone sat down beside her and interrupted her explanation.The hesitation after saying hello seems to be visible from outside the screen.

"Let me explain it with you."

"Okay. But won't you play today?"

"If I don't play, I will be suspended for accumulating yellow cards."

"Well. Everyone welcome Huang Minxue, the deputy captain of No. [-] Middle School. He will provide us with professional perspectives and analysis..." My sister's tone was a bit stiff.The two of us are indeed relatives, and our reactions after encountering Xuexue were not natural.But maybe not necessarily, I am not so "afraid" of him anymore, maybe my sister just doesn't know him very well.

"I'm not the vice-captain. Our team has never had a vice-captain. The captain will always belong to Kopeway. I don't have any professional perspective." He interrupted his sister again, who must have been too embarrassed to make a sound. How will the combination explain the game.

"Mu Zheng, are you there? Can you hear me? If you hear me, please wind up the screen." After watching the empty stadium for a long time, I heard the voice outside the screen again.However, at this moment, neither I nor Xuexue in the past have seen any barrage.Silence was covered again, until the "Fair Play Song" sounded rhythmically, and the stalemate atmosphere slowly disintegrated with the drumbeat.In the screen, he, his companions and opponents slowly appeared in the center of the arena.

“一中本场比赛的首发门将是23号柯佩韦。后防线上，从左到右是10号卢卡，6号赫明明，5号叶芮阳，3号米乐。中场是20号何宏晖和4号李百川。9号阎希是单前锋。我说得对吗？”姐姐像是在征求临时搭档的意见。

"Probably." He replied, his voice was more dull, maybe it was because Mu Zheng ignored him.And I, who called my teammates to shout from a distance, would never know such an atmosphere in the stands.

The game started.

"Luka received the ball from Yan Xi and passed it back to He Mingming. Mingming made a long pass with a big foot, and the opponent's defender was a bit over the top..."

"Hit the door! Hit!"

In the screen, Yan Xi dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Amid Xuexue's shouts, he lightly tapped the ball to the rear right.The inserted Mi Le got the ball with a long shot, still kicked with his left foot.The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, and the jumping up Polytechnic goalkeeper seemed to spread his hands towards his teammates with lingering fear.

"It's not bad, the shooting quality is still good!" My sister encouraged.

"That's right! You can't be cowardly, you just have to show off your momentum!" Xuexue added.

It seems that with the apocalyptic whistle of the referee, the barriers of barriers showed signs that they could be broken.We got to know each other because of the sport, and with that it started, a whole new world for all of us.It isolates bloated homework, repeated exams and waiting eyes, focuses us on running and jumping on the green field, and forgets other identities other than supporters. Everything is integrated with the movement and ejection of the ball. the sound of.

But the people on the field have absolutely no time to think about these.When Anivar's tall body really stood beside him, a strong sense of oppression followed the shadow from his feet to the top of his head.As soon as he gets the ball, he will run rampant in our defense zone like an invincible tank, rolling over and over.Fortunately, we listened to Mingming's opinion and tried to cut off his connection with Huo Yuqi.The coach arranged for Ah Hui to start, and only gave him one task: to pester Huo Yuqi from beginning to end.He sticks to the core and brain of Science and Technology like a plaster that cannot be shaken off, not giving him a chance to catch the ball smoothly.The passing of other players of Science and Technology more or less lacked the precision and accuracy of the captain.Their defensive midfielder, the No. 8 classmate with Scofraze printed on the back, was firmly intercepted by Brother Chuan several times.And Lao Ye and Ming Ming took turns to support Aniwar's back, and it took him a lot of effort to turn around.This kind of highly targeted defense is our best respect for powerful enemies.

"Anival got the ball in the frontcourt, and Ye Ruiyang held it. There is still a need to help defend here, be careful not to foul, and don't give set kicks..."

"Be careful! Don't let him separate!"

"Aniwal gave it to the wing, and his teammates put in an assist. When the ball is passed low, you must watch Aniwal and don't let him grab a shot. Get stuck in his position!"

"What kind of defense is this! How can the last point be completely leaked!"

Xuexue was almost roaring at the phone screen.I was very impressed with this attack of the Science and Technology Institute. Lao Ye and Mingming stuck Aniwar behind him from left to right. The ball passed between me and them. When I turned to look to the left side of my body, Li Amagi has already completed the goal at the back point.The ball hit the side net with great power, and it seemed to go into the goal from the video, hanging very high.

"It's fine if you don't come in, it's fine if you don't come in." This time it was my sister who had lingering fears, and she kept repeating, as if to scare herself.

However, there was another wave of ups and downs, and this time Anival ran into our penalty area.As Yue Yin said, he is not just a "rough guy" who relies on his body for food, and his movements are very flexible.After he got the ball on the right side, he was facing Mi Le. Instead of relying on the advantage of being tall and powerful, he came forward and crushed him. Instead, he came up with a set of "cycling" movements. The speed was so fast that even Mi Le could follow. reluctantly.After a series of feints, Mi Le gradually lost his focus, and Lao Ye rushed to help defend.Seeing that the two of them were about to be pinched again, Anival rushed forward, suddenly speeding up and passing Mi Le, trying to swallow our defense line alive through an instant burst.Mi Le, who was about to be thrown away, stretched out his legs behind him to kick the ball away, but was bounced off by Aniwar's solid body, just like a stick hit on a shield was bounced back firmly by a solid shield, Mi Le Le staggered and fell to the ground.Fortunately, Anival's second pass was a little too big, and Ye Ruiyang arrived in time, blocking his position to catch the ball.At this time, as long as the big foot clears the siege, it will be fine, but Anival can step out of the gap with his long legs and poke the ball towards the goal.The already chaotic penalty area was turned upside down in an instant, and Li Tiancheng, who was plugged in, shot another shot in the chaos. Aniwal, who lost his center of gravity with the ball, also lay on the turf.The ball brushed the post and went out of the bottom line, luck is really good.

I really can't watch it if I have a bad heart.Hearing my sister say this, I feel a little funny now, after all, it has become a "kind memory".Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we don't love him, we can hold on.Xuexue actually comforts people.But we tested her heart again towards the end of the first half.The first is our corner kick, Mi Le took it, and obviously gave the ball to Ye Ruiyang, who turned around and hit the goal.The movements are extremely chic, but the ball is so high that even Yao Ming can't reach it.Polytechnic immediately took a goal kick, and Li Tiancheng broke through from our left, creating a foul by Luka.Huo Yuqi, who was given "special attention" by Ah Hui in the first half, had the first chance to take a free kick.It was just such a chance that he made a nearly perfect arc. Although Anivar failed to reach the ball under the double-team, No. 8, who was ambushing behind him, grabbed the spot. "Shenpu, it's a mess!" "How did you do it, Wei Wei is too powerful!" They both exclaimed at the same time.Because of the angle, I couldn't see my saving action clearly on the screen.It's only three or four meters away, and No. 8 hit a bouncing ball. I didn't even have time to raise my hand, so I completely blocked the ball with my chest.Fortunately, my sister didn't see clearly, otherwise I wouldn't even be embarrassed to leave the class door.

"You said, are we a little too conservative?" At the end of the half, we went back to the locker room, and the conversation we couldn't hear was preserved through the video, "There were only one or two threatening shots. The engineering is pressing and beating."

"We are a defensive counterattack team. If we can't score goals, what's the use of having a high ball possession rate?"

"But defensive counterattack is not just about defending but not attacking. No. [-] Middle School's game is to have passion and play well, isn't it? 'Putting the bus' is so boring."

"But can we make it to the finals if we play well? Can we win the championship? We don't have diamonds, why do we take on those porcelain jobs?" Xuexue's voice was a little dissatisfied, "Who doesn't want to play well? But if we rush out and fight Science and technology play against each other, it looks good, but the defense will probably make Aniwal full of holes. Wouldn't it be nice to be scored three or four times?"

"Okay, I understand. It's just that the first half was a bit awkward." Faced with Xuexue's complaints, her sister's voice was much gentler, "It would be great if you could play."

"Oh, there's not enough manpower. In fact, I can guess it. In the second half, it is estimated that Xiaoqi will replace Ahui. If you fall behind, you will go to Leben. If you don't fall behind, you will replace Xu Mu. Our cards are too few. In case someone gets hurt again , should you let the captain go up?"

"Don't underestimate my brother. He passes the ball very well. I have seen him since I was a child. If it is really bad, it is no problem to let him play as a midfielder."

"In this case, why did he change his career to be a goalkeeper? Of course, the captain played goalkeeper very well. If it weren't for his teammates, I might not believe that he played in midfield before."

"There are various reasons. When I was in elementary school, the competition for those positions was fierce. He was always a substitute and couldn't play in the game."

"Is it because his competitor is his younger brother?"

They actually talked about this topic.

"How do you know?" My sister's tone was also very surprised.

"He mentioned it to me. Ah, I... I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, are you okay?" Xuexue was obviously panicked, and her tongue was a little tied when she spoke.

"It's okay. I'm still pretty strong, right?"

"Well... Although I don't know you very well, I only know that you are the captain's sister, you have very good grades, and you are also the president of the literature club. However, I can feel that you are amazing. But sometimes, don't hold back , It’s very uncomfortable. I should cry and cry.”

"Why do you say that to me? Because I'm a girl?"

"I did not mean that……"

"I understand. But boys cry if they want to."

The world outside the lens is silent, only the sound of the wind shaking the gradually dense forests and shrubs beside the stadium.

"I'm back."

The familiar voice of the third person broke the silence, and I don't know what kind of expressions the two of them had at that time.But once seeing the face behind them, apart from being ecstatic, maybe there is only the urge to cry.He arrived shortly after the start of the first half. In order not to disturb our game, he deliberately waited outside the field until the end of the half.This person appeared here again, and the meaning behind it far exceeds the game itself.If we actually saw him in the middle of a game, the most dedicated of us wouldn't hesitate to stop.

And when we come out of the tunnel, we'll see him at the stadium again six months later.He was still wearing thick and solid clothes, and his hands were firmly on the railing, as if the king who had boarded the castle was fully armed and looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder.The body after recovering from a long illness is like an ancient relief on the cliff. The straight mast and full sails of the ship are blown by the sea. Flowers across the sea breathe fearlessly after summer blooms.His face was illuminated by the approaching hot sun to the spirit of the past, as if telling us that death is just a humble assumption in front of life.

Come, see, conquer.I have won before, and I will always win in the future.The returned Mu Zheng reminded us in the most powerful way of life.

Aniwal remained in excellent form in the second half, and he even completed a shot that was close to an upside-down golden hook-of course, it was not a barb in the true sense. The ball was thrown upside down in front of the goal.The ball went over the crossbar, he fell to the ground, and was called for a high foot foul, but even as an opponent, he will be impressed by this imaginative and explosive shot.As my sister said, I never thought that someone could try a barb shot on the stage of the Mayor's Cup-this kind of action is simply not something a junior high school student can do.Who said, Mu Zheng can definitely do it!Xuexue refuted unconvinced.You think too highly of me, even if my body is in the best condition, I don't think I can play well.Mu Zheng smiled, his voice was still a little weak, but that calm voice was enough to make people believe in his confidence in his return this time.

It was our active close defense that made Aniwal have to use such a difficult way of attacking.Huo Yuqi was also restrained.To be honest, our pressing was a bit brutal.Mu Zheng's appearance made us very excited, but Ah Hui was obviously a little over excited. Several defensive actions were not small, and he was finally shown a yellow card by the referee.Aqi also met Mu Zheng before the start of the second half, the two didn't say anything, they looked at each other and smiled.After returning to the court, facing our siege and interception, he did not complain, nor was he emotionally disturbed, and still supported the team through his delicate skills.We have also encountered many outstanding midfielders before. Compared with An Dongyou and Tong Jing, Aqi’s skills do not seem to have an absolute advantage, and his running range and physical reserve seem to be inferior to Yin Rirong, but he plays football. The most intuitive feeling is "reasonable".Every pass and reception seems to have been fully thought out, like playing chess, you know how to deal with the next three steps after taking one step, and there are very few mistakes.In such a bloody environment, he still had room to think and remained absolutely calm.He is not only a fighter who reads the game, but also a commander who is calm in times of crisis.In the second half, in addition to testing me with a doubly wonderful arc shot, he slowly gained insight into our tactics.Gradually, he and Anival seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and began to use himself as a bait to contain our defense.

"My God, this is the third time! I really thought we were going to lose it!" Another omission in our defense made my sister completely forget her identity as a "commentator", and she became more like a fan who was sitting on pins and needles.Science and Technology played a smooth frontcourt cooperation. Aqi found Aniwar who was holding the ball with his back. Card's entanglement got the ball in the penalty area.I clung to the near post and he responded with a volley towards the far end of the goal.When he fell to the ground to make a save, he was beyond his reach. The slow ball slowly ran towards the goal, bounced on the uneven turf, and was finally stopped by the post.Mi Le didn't bother to check the situation around him, and kicked the ball out of the baseline.

"It's okay, it's okay. What is it called, 'Three passes without scoring'? Ye Ruiyang is right, does this buddy not know where the shot button is?" Xuexue laughed twice, probably trying to relax the atmosphere Some.After the game, he said the same thing in the locker room, making everyone laugh.But at that moment of shock, jokes are not listened to, and on the contrary, it makes people who are deeply involved in it even more anxious.The elder sister didn't answer, but Mu Zheng analyzed a few words: Science and Technology's offense is a bit disorganized, relying too much on Aqi's command and Anival's personal ability. No. 7 and No. 16 are undoubtedly the two most powerful points of Polytechnic, but apart from them, other players of Polytechnic may not be much better than us.Football does not rely on one or two people to solve the problem.Although No. [-] Middle School's offense can only rely on Yan Xi's inspiration, our defense has gradually acquired resilience and flexibility after going through several tough battles. Even if we make mistakes, as long as everyone is twisted together, It is definitely not that simple to break our goal with personal performance.

"That's right, it's no longer that paper defensive line." Mu Zheng's words reassured my sister, "Actually, after watching these few shots, my own heart is getting stronger."

Hearing this sentence, I suddenly felt that we should do more things in front of the door, so as to help my sister train her heart.

"The coach always said that we were good babies, but now everyone has learned how to fight. No matter how incomplete the lineup is, how much pressure the opponent puts on us. Our temperament has changed." '." Mu Zheng said, "It's a pity that I'm absent, it's a pity when I think about it."

"If you're here, there won't be so many tough battles!" Xuexue snorted, "It's not easy for us this semester. Since the third round of the group stage, every game has been a life-and-death battle. There have been such miserable teams. ?"

"Does Spain count in the World Cup in South Africa? I lost the first game, and then I played more and more champions. I eliminated Portugal, Paraguay and Germany three times in a row. The final against the Netherlands was played by Iniesta. Overtime lore." Mu Zheng replied, "That was the first time Spain won the championship. Iniesta even gave the goal to a friend who passed away. I thought before, if we reach the final, we will Xue completed the lore at the end of the game, and I am not here, will he give me goals and championships like Iniesta..."

"What do you mean? Damn, you're gone, don't talk about a shabby Mayor's Cup, the World Cup champion is worth nothing! Whoever wants it, let's take it!"

"You are too much, you are not allowed to make such a joke."

"But I did think about it, when I was terrified. It made me feel better about it. Well, I'm not going anywhere. I promise you."

People probably only talk about such things to their friends when they are calm, but this kind of calmness can be divided into many situations: the calmness of knowing that there is no longer a crisis, or the calmness of knowing that everything is inevitable.Fortunately, time has proved that Mu Zheng is not lying.

"Maybe we are the Spanish team." A few minutes later, the once uneasy sister said this sentence, "If we win this game, we will really look like champions."

After entering the second half of the second half, our rebound finally appeared in Polytechnic's long attack.As predicted by Xuexue, Xiao Qi came on the stage to replace Ah Hui, and also brought a new arrangement of the coach: Luka went to the midfield to defend Huo Yuqi.It seems to be a very old-fashioned tactical design for the full-back to mark the opponent's midfield core.Xiaoqi was active on the right side where Luca was originally guarding, and his abundant physical fitness ensured that he could sprint back and forth.It was also in a defensive counterattack that he and Luca completed a long-distance "hitting the wall" near the middle circle, breaking through the Polytechnic's midfield barrier.Xiaoqi dribbled the ball to the left side of the frontcourt, watched Yan Xizheng desperately rushing towards the penalty area, and sent an over-the-top pass with his right foot.The ball was passed a little too big, Yan Xi rushed to the bottom line before barely reaching the ball back with his right foot.The goalkeeper and defender of Polytechnic raised their hands high to signal that the ball was out of bounds, but the referee didn't say anything.In a blink of an eye, Yan Xi shifted the ball to his left foot and found a little angle.The reckless attack of the opposing central defender gave him a momentary opportunity to catch the prey.After lightly dodging, Yan Xi finished the shot with her left foot.The goalkeeper jumped sideways, and the ball passed through the gap between his legs just before he fell, rolling into the net without rush or slowness, almost gracefully.After repeatedly looking back at the video, I finally fully saw the goal that I could not see on the court - I had to turn off the sound, and the cheers from my partners in the stands made the mobile phone on the bracket tremble slightly.Yan Xi must have endured the dull pain in his back. After scoring the goal, he did not celebrate too excitedly. As his companions surrounded him walked to the stands, he compared his hands to the eyes and the camera that captured this exciting moment. a full heart.The triumphant feeling between the brows seems to be calling for the return of the striker partner, and it seems so kind and lovely today.

But they have no partner again, and the away game against Xinjian is a swan song that no one can predict.It is a prophecy, the striker combination that has been with us for two years will never have the chance to fight side by side in this life.

"Thousands of troops, one final decision! The red jersey of the High School of Science and Technology is like a blazing flame, and Yan Xi is a small white spray on the flame, which extinguishes all the flames in a short moment! The decisive thing is to create opportunities The ability, but also the ability to seize opportunities!"

But... maybe there's still a chance.Hearing my sister's voice passing through time, I suddenly felt that it was still too early to say such words.We are destined to break up, we are destined to be separated, but we are also destined to meet again one day.I began to believe, and I began to look forward to it in my heart.Just like when the whistle blew for the end of the game, we believed that we were destined to reach the final and win the championship trophy.
