Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 77

"Ke Ke, wake up.

"Didn't I tell you to get up, why don't you open your eyes and look at me, I'm leaving."

"Ok?"

I rubbed my eyes. Mi Le was carrying his schoolbag, put on his coat, and changed his shoes and socks, as if he was about to go out.

"It was a bit sudden, but I have to go. I'm going back to my hometown."

What?Am I dreaming?
"You can go to class with peace of mind in a while, and go to the competition with everyone in the afternoon. Say hello to Taotao for me. By the way, don't forget the bookmark Yue Yin gave him. Do you remember it?" He shook my hand on the quilt.I haven't fully woken up yet, his hands are icy cold, making it even more difficult for me to tell if this is reality or a dream.The curtains were drawn tightly, and the lights were not turned on. At the moment when the sky just dawned, everything in the dormitory seemed to be wobbling, like a slow-moving clock, ticking, ticking, empty and long.

"Don't miss me, don't rush to contact me, I will tell you anything." His voice was a little choked, I opened my eyes wide, and suddenly realized that he must have cried not long ago, both eyes were closed wet.

"It's still early, you can sleep for a while. Goodbye."

"Don't go! Don't leave me!"

I didn't have time to think whether this was reality or a dream. I sat up from the bed as if I was sick, and hugged Mi Le, as if if I didn't hug him, he would disappear before my eyes like a shadow.

"It hurts, it hurts! Keke, let me go! It hurts!" he cried, his crying became more obvious.

"Don't go! Why don't you want me! Did I do something wrong? Don't go! I'll change, I'll change everything! You can do whatever you want me to do, don't leave me alone, I can't stand it. I can't live without you! Please!"

There was nothing I could do but cry.Almost like a dream.I can't tell, maybe I have vaguely thought about a possibility in my mind-everything from the first day of junior high school to the present is just a vain dream.There is no Mi Le, no Ye Ruiyang, no teachers and friends, only myself, a lonely self.But now the dream is about to wake up, Mi Le is saying goodbye to me, and I will fall back into the abyss-like darkness three years ago.I can't let go, this is my last chance, I don't want to fall back again, it's too dark and too cold there.Maybe this is my fate, I will be punished, but I am not afraid, I am not willing, I will do my best to grasp the last straw, and I will not let go even if I die.

"Then you promise me one thing." His voice sounded lightly, as if it came from a dream.

"Say it, say it, I will agree to [-] items." I sniffled, but still refused to let go.

"In the future, you can only stay in bed for 2 minutes at most. Is it okay?"

"One minute is not bad! I'll get up when you tell me, okay?"

"You said it yourself, don't go back on your word."

he laughed.I cried even harder.I am so happy.This means that he is not leaving and will not want me anymore.

"Fool Keke. It's not like I won't come back." He hit my head with his forehead.Under the impact of this certainty, I touched my forehead in some confusion.

It shouldn't be a dream.

"I don't want to leave you. I haven't bullied you enough yet." He stuck out his tongue and wiped his eyes indiscriminately. "It's my fault too. I was in a hurry and didn't speak clearly. I'm sorry."

I sat on the bed and stared blankly at him, as if waiting for the outcome of the trial.

"Papa called me a quarter of an hour ago and said that grandpa had a serious fall in his hometown. He didn't wake up. I have to go home. Maybe I can come back tomorrow, maybe it will be a few days. Dad drove Come pick me up. I’ve already arrived at the school gate. After I go back, I may have a lot of things to do, and it’s not convenient to contact. Don’t worry, play hard, and I will tell you anything. I can’t go to the game in the afternoon, help me I apologize to the coach and everyone."

Once again, I hugged Mi Le tightly.He hugged me too.Your grandpa must be fine.I told him.He nods.Take care of yourself.wait me back.Let's go first, Dad is waiting for me.Wait a minute, I'll take you to the gate.No need, take a good rest, it's still early.You also have classes and competitions.But I just want to send it.Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety. I will not only watch the road, but also pay attention to looking up at the top.Be careful yourself, brother.

what do you call meI was a little dazed, as if it was another person's voice, which came from the corner or crevice of the dream, I don't know.

Keke.Otherwise what else can I call you?
Probably heard it wrong.After spending a while alone in the room, I realized that Mi Le had really left. "I'm getting in the car, don't worry." "Safe journey, your grandpa will wake up soon." After sending this sentence, I threw the phone aside.I think I'm awake, not dreaming.

He left without warning, just like his grandpa suddenly fell without warning.How much is going on in this world while I'm asleep?I thought about it for nothing, and then burst into tears for no reason.Maybe it's because of fear, fear that something will happen to Mi Le's grandfather, fear that Mi Le's family will encounter something on the way back in a hurry.For a moment, I felt that it was extremely dangerous to poke my feet out of the quilt, so I shrank in and wrapped the quilt tightly.I'm usually not that timid, but this is the early morning of autumn, the sun has not fully risen, and the curtains have not been drawn, so I will be more afraid than at noon.Maybe he was woken up unprepared.In short, I cried and fell asleep again dizzy, and when I woke up, I found that I was almost an hour late, so I simply skipped the cram school in the morning.

Skipping class and brooding was the worst thing I did that long Saturday.

After hiding in the dormitory and finishing my homework, I went to the cafeteria for lunch, and happened to meet Ye Ruiyang and Brother Chuan after class.Needless to say, Ye Ruiyang questioned me with a hippie smile and righteous words, saying that not only did I learn to skip classes, but I also led a good student like Mi Le into trouble.Before I answered, Brother Chuan said that Ye Ruiyang wanted to skip class more than anyone else, but he just had the heart but no guts.A cross talk started again, and after they got tired of talking, I told about Mi Le.As a result, the small talk ended in an instant, and everyone fell silent.Ye Ruiyang didn't open his mouth until he got on the school bus, saying that Xinxin Middle School is now a branch school of No. [-] Middle School. This time we are like an elder brother going to his younger brother's house, but we must get three points firmly.

"It's not as simple as you think. Do you really think that Xinjian is your younger brother?" Brother Chuan smiled, "If I were a classmate in the branch school, would I have to try to prove that I am no worse than you in the headquarters?"

"So what? Taotao is still on the opposite side, let him help us, let us in." Ye Ruiyang glanced at him unconvinced, then turned around, everyone looked at him, and suddenly disappeared That momentum.

"Taotao is not such a person." I said, "He will definitely play seriously."

"Okay, just kidding, don't take it so seriously." He spread his hands helplessly, moved to my side, and said that we should defend ourselves today and don't give him a chance.I gently turned the No. 24 bookmark in my hand, smiled and nodded to Lao Ye.

To respect Taotao, we must work hard to prevent them from scoring a single goal.Thinking silently, I couldn't help but find that I had walked to the referee, and Tao Tao, who was also wearing the captain's armband, was waiting for me to shake hands and pick sides.We both smiled and hugged.His tanned face became more energetic in the sunshine at 01:30.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"You too. Come on."

"Well, let's go together."

It seems that he is still one of us, but I hope everyone will not have illusions when we are on the court.He asked me to guess the head and tail of the coin first, and when I said heads, he became tails.In the sunshine at the end of October, the coin of fate was thrown high, and the first meeting between the two teams on the edge of the cliff was already a battle of life and death.On the other hand, the home team kicks off first.Everyone shook hands and went back to the half court.

Despite having nearly identical uniforms and badges, there can only be one winner between the Chasseurs in white and Dandelion in green.Only by scoring three points can it be possible to continue to survive in the death group.We must survive, for the team, and for Mi Le, who cannot come.

I hope that when the team wins today, Mi Le's grandfather has woken up safely.

Game start!
Miller's absence brought back the troubles of last season's away game against Polytechnic, and we lost a qualified starting right back.The coach completely adjusted the formation and used Mingming, Brother Chuan and Ye Ruiyang to form a three-center back.In the midfield, Luka is on the left and Yan Xi is on the right, learning to sit in the middle.On the front line is Mu Zheng's single arrow.When the coach announced that Luka was starting and Xiaoqi was on the bench, our No. 17 still had a bad face, but he didn't say much.I went to pat him on purpose, but he didn't respond much.Xiaoqi still has some opinions on Luka, mainly because he doesn't know Luka well, so he has to take his time.After all, today's priority is to win the game, and he is counted.

Except for Mi Le, Xu Mu also did not come to the away game.Yue Yin asked for leave for her, saying it was her menstrual period.There are only 16 of us left.

As Brother Chuan said before the game, Xinjian's strength is unusual, much stronger than last year's Experimental Middle School.Their No. 11 striker is short and very thin, but has excellent touch on the ball. It is a bit difficult for the defenders to keep up with his speed and frequency.With a flat shaved head, he always crawled around our defense line like a loach, constantly harassing us.The hidden dangers of defense are increasing a little bit, but our offense has not improved.Several of Luka's crosses were outrageously wide, and an unguarded cross went directly to the baseline.Yan Xi had an exquisite through ball once, but Mu Zheng was blocked by Tao Tao and couldn't catch the ball.Our No. 7 staggered a few steps and fell into the penalty area. Naturally, the referee would not award a penalty kick.He didn't feel dissatisfied or complained, he just shook his head helplessly and got up by himself.

He seems to have smoked?It was too far away for me to see clearly.It wasn't too cold today, why did he shiver for no reason?Still not feeling well?
Xinjian's strategy against us became more and more obvious as the game progressed - defend, defend. "Putting the bus", I now understand the meaning of the word.They once played a five-back lineup on the field, leaving only No. 11 in front.When we first set foot on the battlefield, they built strong fortifications, and they are still strengthening, trying to penetrate our weak spots by odd opportunities.Perhaps there is a certain gap between the opponent's paper strength and ours, but they made up for it through tireless running and uniform discipline.And Tao Tao is the commander of Xinjian's offense and defense. His current playing style is a bit like Yin Rirong. He is the core midfielder who controls the offense and defense of the team.He is no longer reticent, but constantly communicates with his teammates and coordinates the entire defense.In just a few months, Taotao has improved the most among all of them, from the defender of No. 10 Middle School to the newly built core.

And what about ourselves?

"Pay attention! Watch out for that brat!"

My roar is a true portrayal of the helplessness of the whole team in the first half.The offense continued to be weak, and the defense was often distracted. The haze since the two-game losing streak has not dissipated at all.The confidence and spirit of the whole team were gradually worn away by the defense of the opponent, as if the offensive players did not believe that they could deliver the ball in place, and their shots were all hesitant. With the help of Taotao, No. 11 successfully got the ball, and a light man passed the ball, and Mingming was completely wiped out.The latter wanted to foul to stop the offense, but when he stretched out his foot, he didn't even trip anyone.No. 11, who entered the left side of the penalty area, got a good chance to shoot, and I will save the ball to the bottom line.

"I'm not a brat! My name is Jiang Xiaofei! I'm from the headquarters, remember it for me!" The brat shouted at me as he went to pick up the ball.There was a nameless anger in my heart, anxious and annoyed, but there was no way to respond.It's too useless, we may have five or six shots in the first half, none of which are as threatening as the kick that the kid just came.Wake up, everyone.I muttered to myself while defending corners.Do you have to miss a goal to kick?But if it is really lost, can our blunt spear really pierce the opponent's guarded shield?
The corner kick was picked, I didn't choose to counterattack quickly at the first moment.The opponent's defense was methodical, and every potential counterattack point was spotted.There is no good chance, and I can only reorganize the attack when everyone retreats.

so terrible.And we only have 30 minutes left.A draw is meaningless at all. We are two games short of No.2. Is it a luxury to qualify for the group stage?When the first-half whistle blew, the sun was beating my forehead blindingly, and I shaded my eyes with gloves.There must be some changes, but what should I do?It is difficult to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm simply by shouting and directing.Another state of stagnant water.What the hell is wrong with us?Why are you so muddled?
The coach didn't say much during the halftime break, but let Xiaoqi and Ahui go to the field to warm up, and told the starting players to take a good rest.I thought I should say something, but everyone looked tired.The opponent's strong defense is like a piece of brown sugar, sticking to everyone, dragging everyone to exhaustion.Let's talk about it when we play.With that in mind, I went out to find the bathroom.I want to wash my face to make myself more energetic. By the way, I think about how to arouse everyone's fighting spirit under the cold water.

It would be great if we could mobilize everyone with practical actions.But I'm the goalkeeper.As in the previous game, we need to attack, keep attacking, and only attack can survive.But the defense line led by Taotao is so impenetrable.

"Are you all right? Don't push any more, I beg you, really."

"No. This game has to be won. If you don't win, it's really over."

"How dare you! If you keep kicking, you will die! Let the coach replace you! If you don't listen to me, I'll call your mother right away!"

"This is my last game..."

"You are crazy! Stop talking nonsense! Do you want to drive me crazy first?"

"Calm down, learn, you calm down. Don't be so loud..."

I froze at the bathroom door.Xuexue's voice is so loud, it's hard not to hear it.And a little dry and hoarse, people only do this when they are anxious and sad, like me this morning.Mu Zheng's tone was very peaceful, but it was similar to when he was substituted in the previous half, revealing a message: Tired.

"You just let me be willful for the last time. This is the last contribution I can make for everyone."

"I won't give it!"

"Don't cry."

"I didn't cry! It's the smell of disinfectant in the toilet that hurts my nose."

I bit my lip and almost heard my own heartbeat.

"Mu Zheng." They couldn't help but walked in from the door, the two of them were startled and looked at each other, I quickly continued, "Do you want to continue kicking?"

nod.

"Is your body okay?"

He shook his head vigorously.Xuexue pushed him hard, but did not move.Although his voice was exhausting, and his running on the field was heavy and slow, but in this afternoon, what I saw in his piercing eyes was not the previous sluggishness, but an unwavering fire.He didn't answer my question with words, but at this moment, I can feel that he is very willing to continue fighting on the field.

As long as a warrior wants to fight, he cannot be kept away from the battlefield.For some reason, I thought of that man.He can no longer fight side by side with me on the pitch.Only this time, I saw unwillingness and longing in Mu Zheng's eyes, as if I saw his eyes, those eyes that could not be opened again because of me.I found him, from another person.

Perhaps it was the cruelest thing to leave Mu Zheng on the sidelines at this time.

"Then let's work hard together, but this is definitely not the last time." I don't know what's going on with Mu Zheng, I just know that I have to go up and hug his heavy body.

He hugged me too.

"Yeah, definitely not the last time." Xuexue repeated in a daze.

"All of you can enjoy this curtain call performance."

Mu Zheng smiled very easily, without any fatigue or fear.I stayed where I was, watching him go out the door almost looking up, and walked towards the locker room without hesitation.The corridors on both sides were not lit, and it was pitch-black, like an endless tunnel, with only the white sunlight shining from the windows at the end.Mu Zheng's figure was blurred in the darkness, and he was walking towards a place with light.

I'm starting to believe vaguely that he's telling the truth about "the last time" and "the curtain call".

The game will be restarted soon.Xuexue and I didn't say anything.The coach only emphasized one point: In addition to winning, we have no way out.Xiaoqi came on stage to replace Luca, while Le Ben and Li Wenqian were still warming up.Maybe when necessary, we will add a few defenders and we will add a few forwards.

It's finally time to put all your eggs in one basket.bring it on!
In the first half of the second half of the game, taking advantage of the newly built and rebuilt fortifications, we launched the most intense fight.Mu Zheng was like a wounded lion, although his pace and frequency were still a little messy, he still waved his minions and rushed towards the enemy's barrier.He ran back and forth in the frontcourt to press, and his enthusiasm was higher than in the past, so his partner was naturally not to be outdone.Driven by the two of them, the opponent encountered a lot of trouble in passing and passing the ball, and we also got several shooting opportunities in the frontcourt.Xuexue sent a through ball after a successful counter-grab, penetrating through the newly built two-layer defense in one fell swoop.Mu Zheng's start was a bit slow, but he still caught the ball before it went out of the baseline.From a very small angle, he faced the newly-built defender, and suddenly shot a burst shot at the near post.The ball flew towards the goal with the roar of a lion, and the new goalkeeper raised his hand desperately, and the ball hit his glove.A fantastic save.Mu Zheng's shot was almost perfect, but Goddess of Luck was still not on our side.

Time waits for no one to move forward.We took the initiative on the field, but were unable to score for a long time.After successfully receiving our series of offensives, Xinjian gradually regained his breath and began to calmly defend and counterattack again.Physical strength is limited, it slips away little by little, and even an invincible lion will be powerless when the sun starts to go west.In the middle of the second half of the game, Mu Zheng's running has weakened a lot, and our frontcourt once again fell into an old dead silence.And Jiang Xiaofei, the sharp sword hanging over our heads, once again had the opportunity to threaten our city, using his speed advantage to force Mingming to foul, the referee finally took out a yellow card for our central defender.A well placed wide set piece, Xin Xin pushed half of our players into our box for the first time in the second half.This is their chance to score.

You have to keep this ball even if you die.I thought.For Mi Le, but also for Mu Zheng.We are almost there, we are about to knock on the new door, we can't concede the ball at this time.If they want to step over our goal, they must first step over my dead body.My whole head is burning.

The set kick was taken, and Taotao grabbed the spot in the crowd and headed straight to the goal.I tried my best to throw the ball out, but I didn't throw it far, and I had a chance to make a follow-up shot.I saw in the gap that the person in the green jersey got the ball and then quickly went to the ground, firmly pressing the ball under the horizontally outstretched hands.After defending, you should immediately observe whether there is a chance to counterattack.But the people around me didn't disperse, and I was about to get up when I found a commotion in the black shadow that enveloped me.Like being hit by a huge rock, there was a pain in my left arm, and my hand loosened subconsciously.

Oops, I couldn't let go even if I died.The ball was sent into the net by the shadow that hit me.

Am I still scared?
Again!Why?
I didn't even feel pain when my mind went blank.When he recovered, he only heard Ye Ruiyang yelling at the referee.Isn't this a blow to the goalkeeper?He said, and seemed to push the person who kicked me.Mingming and Brother Chuan held him back.He was really angry, Taotao came to persuade me, and the player who wanted to kick someone apologized to me.The man seemed to say sorry, but I didn't care.Ye Ruiyang also complained to Taotao, saying how did you become the captain, whether you were playing football or playing people.The referee gave Ye Ruiyang and that person a yellow card each.I stood up in a daze, and only asked one question, is the goal valid?The enforcer shook his head.

let out a long breath.

"Captain, are you okay? Do you want to change?"

It was Mu Zheng who stepped forward to inquire.His face was so pale, he didn't look like the usual number one striker who was the most sunny in the team.The coach also called me from a distance, and when I turned around, Zhao Rui had already come off the bench to warm up.

I also want to continue fighting, fighting with Mu Zheng.As long as there is a breath left, there will be no retreat.And there's no time for substitutions, maybe 10 minutes or less now.So, I answered everyone in the simplest way.Lie on the ground, with your left hand behind your back, and use your right arm to do three one-handed push-ups.

Actually, my left arm still hurts a bit.But I can hold on.It's amazing to say that I actually forgot to cry out the pain.

The game restarts.After a brief hiatus, the team seemed to be rejuvenated.In an attack from the right, Yan Xi received a long pass from Mingming.Today, his state is also quite sluggish. This time he stopped the ball too much, but accidentally shook away the players who came to defend. "Stopping the ball three meters away" made a mistake and became a man. The ball passed, and Yan Xi's mind turned quickly. He quickly caught up with the ball and entered the penalty area. Facing the defending central defender and goalkeeper, he was in the middle The cross is done.Neither the defender nor the goalkeeper touched the ball, and it sprinted towards the back.

With the sense of smell like a cheetah, Mu Zheng appeared there.In the past, it would definitely be a quick and easy goal.But his confidence and physical condition don't seem to be enough to support him to complete the actions he has completed countless times in the past.He stopped the ball with his left foot, not too well, and the ball went a little to the right of his body.The newly-built goalkeeper and central defender rushed forward, and the opportunity was fleeting. In a flash, he used a somewhat awkward shooting posture: he threw his body onto the turf, and shoveled the ball towards the goal with the toe of his right shoe. .At the same time that Mu Zheng fell to the ground and shoveled and shot, the two newly-built defensive players also rushed to the ground like hungry tigers, and the three of them were like three stone pillars that crashed down.Amongst the rising dust, everyone witnessed the leisurely way the ball crossed the goal line.

Finally broke the deadlock!Whoever scores the goal at this moment can kill the game!This goal was not very exciting. From the instigation to the goal, it was accompanied by mistakes on both sides. It was stumbling and not very enjoyable.But for us, it is a long drought and rain, a small sapling caught before falling into the abyss.After two consecutive losses, the first victory is finally within reach.Mu Zheng has once again become our hero. Last season's Golden Boot was just for naught.No matter how depressed his condition is, as long as he is given a chance, the white sword can turn into a river of stars and pierce the long night.

But Mu Zheng didn't celebrate at all.With the help of Xuexue and Xiaoqi, he barely stood up, his two fingers twirling weakly on his chest.It was a gesture requesting a substitution, and the teammates also shouted towards the bench.

What happened to Mu Zheng?Probably just tired?I hope so.I wish.

But the coach replaced him and Xuexue.He Honghui and Le Ben appeared at the same time.

Don't be distracted!Mu Zheng worked so hard to give us the lead, we must not let the victory run away at the end!In the little time left, we finally achieved unity of purpose.It was also difficult for Xinjian who lost the ball suddenly to organize an effective attack in a short period of time. Taotao and Jiang Xiaofei each had a shot, but they were far from scoring.In stoppage time, Yan Xi even gave up on entering the penalty area after getting the ball, but slowly brought the ball to the corner. Two and a half minutes of the 4-minute stoppage time were consumed by him and Xiao Qi. The legendary corner ball protection method was fully demonstrated by the two of them using dribbling skills, but behind this was a kind of helplessness and embarrassment.Maybe in the past, I would have dismissed this way of delaying the game.But at this point, my only wish is to hold the three points and keep the team alive.Protecting the ball in the corner is not a foul, and it is more sportsmanlike than feigning injury or deliberately kicking the ball high and far. [1]
Maybe Ah Hua is right, everyone has changed.But at the moment of the final whistle, all I did was raise my hands and let out a yell.We finally won. We have been looking forward to this victory for too long, but fortunately it has come.Compared with so many victories in the past, this victory is not perfect at all, and it can even be said to be a fluke.But the winner is the winner after all, and the three points are real.

But what happened to Mu Zheng?I didn't shake hands and went straight to the bench.Mu Zheng and Xuexue were not there.

The coach looked at me with serious eyes.She said, go and shake hands quickly, then pack up your things, and I will wait for you at the school gate.You are the captain, we will take a taxi to the hospital to see Mu Zheng later.

Hospital?

The expression on my face seemed to freeze.

That's right, I asked Huang Minxue to take a taxi to take him to the hospital.You move quickly, don't procrastinate.After speaking, she turned and left the court.

A bad feeling creeps up on me. "The last show" and "the curtain call", these two words kept flashing in my mind, and my eyes went dark.

"Ke Ke!" Someone patted me from behind, it was Tao Tao.

"Congratulations. Is Mu Zheng okay? Why didn't I see him?"

"I don't know either. Go see him with the coach right away." I replied blankly.He immediately asked me to wait a moment.I stayed where I was and didn't move.Taotao pushed Xiaopingtou in front of me, the number 11 Jiang Xiaofei who asked me to remember his name.

"Come on, tell me again yourself." Taotao, like a big brother, said earnestly to his teammate who was a head shorter than him.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't kick you on purpose." He lowered his head, "I just wanted to kick the ball."

"Forget it! Didn't you just kick our captain's arm?" Ye Ruiyang popped up from behind me.I smiled and hugged my companion's neck, saying it's okay, let him go back to the locker room to rest first.

In fact, I didn't even see who kicked me.When Jiang Xiaofei obediently stood in front of me, I finally took a good look at him.Short and thin, the protruding bones look hard.That brother shouted very politely, I don't think he did it on purpose.So looking at him, I said again that it was all right.After hearing it, he turned around and slipped away as if he was being pardoned, completely without the aura of asking me to remember my name on the field.

Taotao apologized to me again on his behalf.I suddenly felt that he was like a big patriarch who was in a dilemma, leading a group of children.

But why did the shoes we gave Taotao wear on Jiang Xiaofei's feet?I was so focused during the game that I didn't realize until now that the shoes on Taotao's feet had been replaced with a pair of old shoes, and the laces of both feet were not the same length.Is he wearing these shoes to lead his teammates to carry our offense for more than 50 minutes?
I asked about Taotao shoes.I was a little anxious, because there was no news of Mu Zheng's situation.But I asked anyway, I wanted to know.I ended up paying more time.Taotao told me that he himself gave the shoes to Xiaofei.Xiaofei only had a pair of sandals before, and it was impossible to play football in them.The jerseys and shorts are issued by the team, only the sneakers have to be prepared by yourself.But Xiaofei couldn't afford the 20 yuan pair of rubber-soled shoes at the stall outside, so he couldn't participate in competitions and training.If Taotao didn't give him the shoes, he would have no chance.

Can anyone afford 20 bucks?We got 20 bucks for winning the game today, no one takes it seriously.But for a junior who is only one or two years younger than me, it is as difficult to overcome as a natural moat.

Don't his parents give him money?I asked.

He has no parents.Tao Tao said.

ah.I pursed my lips and swallowed hard.Throat is a bit uncomfortable.

He was adopted by relatives.After finishing elementary school, the family didn't plan to let him study any more.But the teacher of the branch school went to their house and took him to the school again.There are also a few juniors in the school team who have similar experience to him.

oh.I nod.It seemed like he couldn't think of anything to say or do other than nod.In fact, in detail, as Ye Ruiyang said, Xinjian is now our branch school, and Xiaofei can be regarded as my pro-student.

We are actually students in the same school.

Don't be too sad.Will be fine.Although Xiaofei's performance is not very good now, playing football can be regarded as a way out.He is quite talented and usually practice sprinting.In the future, you can strive for a national second-level athlete, or become a sports student.I will help him too.Taotao put his hand on my shoulder, and he was comforting me again.

Football, it means different to everyone, just like everyone's life and destiny are different.For Mu Zheng, maybe he is willing to do everything to win for everyone; for Xiaofei, this may be the only way for him to change his destiny.What is it to me?Just the seasoning of life, an episode of life, looking for a tool to move yourself?Compared with them, do I live too happily, even a little frivolously?
what am i doing hereIt's been almost 14 years, I haven't figured anything out, and I've made mistakes that I can't forgive.

I sat down on the turf.Everyone went back to the locker room, and there were not many spectators in the stands.Only Taotao and I were left. Before rushing to the hospital to visit Mu Zheng, I made a decision and slowly loosened the laces of my sneakers.It was the latest style that my parents gave me before school started.The bright colors like spray paint dance on both sides of the sneakers, full of vitality of sports.

"Taotao, I like cleanliness very much. So, if Xiaofei doesn't mind, you can give him these shoes. They are quite new, I have only worn them for two months." I lifted the shoes in the air, Blushing and shaking his shoulders, "If it doesn't fit, or he doesn't like it, you can give it to other students who have difficulties, and you can wear it yourself."

"No, Keke, that's not what I meant. Besides, Xiaofei is definitely not easy to accept your things..." He didn't take it, and kept shaking his hands, as if he was trying to explain to me.

"Okay, good brother, I understand. Just give it to him. After all, those shoes are a gift from all of us. I want you to wear them back." I smiled at him, "I used to Those shoes fit well, but this pair is too new, so I'm not used to it."

"Then you go to the locker room and change your shoes before giving them to me." He still frowned embarrassingly.No time for inkblotting.I stuffed the shoes into his arms and said that I was going to see Mu Zheng.After speaking, he ran towards the locker room, not caring that there was only a pair of socks left on his feet.

[1] Relatively speaking, protecting the ball in the corner area is a relatively normal way to consume game time. Many strong teams will also use this method to defend the victory at the last moment of the game. "Lying on the grass" (fake injury and delaying time on the field), deliberately walking slowly when changing players, and delaying setting the ball are also methods of delaying. The latter two will get a yellow card, and the controversy of "lying grass" itself is bigger.What Ke Ke accepted was actually just protecting the ball in the corner area.

　This chapter seems to be okay... but maybe the beginning was a bit caught off guard?The next ten chapters are the stories of Mu Zheng and Xuexue, and of course Ke Ke also accompanied him the whole time... Wuwu Mi Le is going to be disconnected temporarily, so wave her hand and miss him!
