Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 99 Preparation and Imagination

It's not uncommon to change teachers in the second half of the term, but as soon as we got back to school we learned that the biogeography teacher had changed.Everyone was not too surprised, after all, we will usher in the junior high school entrance examination in less than four months.Biogeography is an exam subject. There are two papers, each with 50 points.Schools and parents are naturally facing the enemy, and we children have to be in awe of these two subjects. "The high school entrance examination has already begun", "Now is the third year of junior high school", these are the words that the old class repeats the most.Without exception, the adults want to use the review of the junior high school entrance examination as the starting line for the sprint for the high school entrance examination. I hope that we will enter the rhythm of the third grade of junior high school from now on.

This is perfectly normal. I heard that the No. [-] Middle School has a relatively good grasp of the junior high school entrance examination. At least the club activities are going on as usual.In fact, there are only a handful of junior high schools in Jiangyuan that have club classes. I also accidentally learned from my elementary school classmates that their school not only has no clubs and electives, but even has only two physical education classes a week, and is often taken up by the main subject teacher.We take for granted things that others have never heard of, and this condition has been known to exist before, but it seems to be much more common than I thought.

I don't know if the branch school has these courses?Different schools, families, and students face the same exam in the end, but some people have sufficient conditions to ensure their calmness and calmness;This may not be just a difference in personality and mentality. Whenever I think of this incident, the shadows of Jiang Xiaofei and Zhang Taotao appear in front of me inexplicably.Playing football is a change of fate for Feifei, but for me it may just be an episode in life.Exams are easier to change fate than playing football, but our family doesn't seem to need me to "change" anything, just review step by step and prepare for the exam.

Life doesn't seem to have changed much due to the preparation of the junior high school entrance examination, except that there are so many geology classes every day.The back-drawing link added by morning self-study and evening self-study is no stranger, after all, Chinese and English were treated in the same way before.It may also be that we adapt easily. Even if the learning intensity is stronger, we are used to accepting rather than complaining.Sit obediently at the desk, do what the teacher says, and train yourself to the point where you don't even frown.Probably this is the "prestige school" and "good student", this kind of obedience has been cultivated since childhood.Even if there were a few people who were not very obedient, once they were rushed into a group discussion with neatly bowed heads and no gossips, they would not be able to "live from themselves", and there would be no way out if they did not "correct" themselves.

of course there are exceptions.Once I helped the teacher to get the papers in the office, and when I passed by the door of Class [-], I heard a loud voice "Huang Minxue, if you don't study, let me out".Unexpected, reasonable.

He was not kicked out after all, and his good friend never came back.He spent the New Year in the ward, and sent a small video to everyone in the team group to wish everyone New Year greetings.There was still a needle in his hand, and an unfamiliar dark red liquid dripped down the bottle little by little.His complexion was much better than before, and he was smiling and talking to us the whole time, not so fluent, a bit like Luca, hardworking and serious, which made people feel distressed.I also saw his mother and grandmother, who were sitting by the bed, with a simple New Year’s Eve dinner on the small table behind them.My sister and I watched the short video of more than one minute back and forth seven or eight times, as if looking for hidden secrets.It was only this year that the two of us cleaned up our rice bowls when we ate at night, only to be lightly tapped on the skull by the tail of the chopsticks by my father.Usually there is a little left every time, if you don’t listen to it, you don’t know if there is left today.Dad smiled and pushed me, telling me that the New Year's Eve dinner can't be finished, "every year is more than enough".My sister and I looked at each other and stuck out our tongues in embarrassment.

Mu Zheng did not suspend his studies, and occasionally came to school a few times. When he went to see him in the ward, he could find biogeography textbooks and handouts piled up beside his bed.Still ready to take the exam with us?I didn't ask.But it must be very difficult, just relying on the notes we brought him is not enough.It was Yue Yin who thought of a way again. Just like the live broadcast of the game before, he used his mobile phone to broadcast the lessons to him.This has also been agreed by every teacher. Now every time I pass Class [-], I can see a tripod in the corner.Although the content of textbooks has not changed much, human technology is still improving.It would be great if he could walk faster, so that he could find out a way to cure him sooner.

However, once this disease is overcome, new problems will emerge in all likelihood.I know this well, but I just hope someone can figure it out quickly.As long as Mu Zheng can be cured, I will spend my whole life looking forward to the Nobel Prize for the person who develops a cure.

Luka also did not come back.For some reason, he lost contact with us after returning to China.Although he added WeChat, it seems that he only made a fuss on the day of the Chinese New Year, and there has been no news since then.I specifically asked Le Ben once, but he couldn't explain clearly.He didn't dare to ask more, he must want to know the answer more than us, and I believe he will tell everyone he knows the first moment he knows.So, we all fell into a long wait.I wait for Le Ben to tell me the news, and Le Ben waits for Luka's return.For about a thousand years, people who have been separated have waited silently for the long letter or the shadow of return with this kind of anticipation and anxiety.Guanshan is difficult to cross, and it is a long way from Jiangyuan to the west of the motherland, not to mention that the distance between us almost traverses the entire Eurasian continent.No wonder the separation of the ancients may be the farewell of this life.Now we have airplanes, high-speed rail, and a network that covers every corner of our lives, but it seems that the depression and anxiety of losing contact cannot be relieved by this.

Only when we are training, we really put aside the two subjects that fill us every day, even when running and jumping on the green field, we occasionally think of the photosynthesis of the thriving plants at this moment—but the turf is artificial , in the end it is our conditioned reflex induced by their permanent greenness.Time is constantly moving forward, and we are looking forward to our companions returning to the team day and night, but we cannot stop because of this.The process of advancing to the quarter-finals this season is really thrilling. It seems that after the last few rounds of desperate struggle, each of us has a much stronger heart.But the coach told us she didn't want to see us test everyone's hearts anymore.The new semester is a new beginning, and we have to rebuild a line of defense.Defense is the foundation of the knockout game and the guarantee for us to go further.I can feel that the figure of the coach this year is older than in previous years.She is in charge of the geography classes of the four classes in the second year of junior high school, and she has to work hard to formulate tactics for the team without affecting the teaching.As a captain, it's not good to think like that, but maybe it's true - this is our last chance.Not just for our second-year junior high school players, but also for the entire team of No. [-] Middle School, and even the coach's last chance.We failed to recruit new students last semester, and maybe the next semester will be even worse. There are fewer and fewer students who can play football and are willing to play football. It may be even more difficult to qualify for the group next year.Weekend tutoring takes up most of the time, and we have heard rumors that the mayor's cup will be greatly shortened or even put on hold. It is an extravagant hope to have games in the future.China does not have much soil for football.The coach’s hometown may be a little better. She is from Dalian. She grew up in that football city. Although she did not choose football as her career, she still did not abandon her childhood love when she moved to this city along the Yangtze River.Of the [-] teams in the Mayor's Cup, only the coach of No. [-] Middle School is not a physical education teacher. She is not a "graduated" and picked up the coach entirely by virtue of her accumulated experience.Yes, junior high school coaches are not that great, and they are unlikely to train professional players, let alone international or even world-class players.But she has the same charm as many of the world's top coaches, making us disciples willing to fight for her.

Maybe she made us let go of our burdens.Compared with last year, we don't have so many stars, we don't have the capital to underestimate every opponent, and there is no shortcut except to fight hard.We can no longer depend on others, now everyone must be strong, strong enough to depend on themselves.

The test of whether this unity and tenacity is effective is the knockout match in early March.After a year, we met Beichuan Middle School again, and the opponent was the defending champion who raised the trophy.Uchida Takatoku, An Dongyou, or the two of them, these are the two names we always mention when we resume training.This time it is no longer an encounter, but a face-to-face confrontation with real knowledge, and the two sides have no secrets at all.We simulated the defense against high center forwards and technical midfielders again and again. At the same time, I believe that Beichuan students will also rack their brains on how to deal with Yan Xi, who has a balanced foot.

"Do you think we can beat Beichuan?" I asked Mi Le in the locker room after club class.

"Captain! How can you ask such a question!" Xuexue's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he pretended to be dissatisfied and jumped to my side, regardless of dragging half of his sock, "Of course we want to win, can we still lose? ?”

"I will definitely win." Mi Le blinked and snapped his fingers at me.

"Are you sure?" I tilted my head, showing an expression of asking the military adviser for a strategy.

"That's not right!" Xuexue pushed my back with her knee.

"Of course, because I'm going to beat Pu Yun all over the place in the final! Eat it alive! Let's see if he is convinced!" Mi Le proudly reached out and grabbed my cheek.

"That's not true! Our opponent is No. 54 High School!" Ye Ruiyang, who was sitting by the side, walked over staggeringly, leaning heavily on the back of the chair.

Our group is struggling to qualify, and we are going to play the defending champion soon, so we are directly discussing our opponents in the final.But what about thinking about it?If we don't even have this ambition, we might as well retire from the race.

"No. 54 is fine, but it's a pity that your brother is not on my side, otherwise he would be the one who got blown away by me." Mi Le shook his shoulders dejectedly.He never did this before.But, for some reason, I really like this slightly proud look.

"By the way, if we really played against 54, wouldn't it be a duel between the two of you brothers? This kind of thing is very rare, and it's the finals. You don't meet a few times in your life, right?" Mingming said from the side, "You will Won't it be very tangled?"

"It's just a normal match. There's no need to go up to a brother duel. Don't be so secondary." Miller interjected.I understood why he said that, but I didn't express anything to him. I just listened quietly, as if I was chewing and enjoying this short sentence.

"Not at all!" Ye Ruiyang was very excited when he heard that, "I will be very happy. If we play the final with A Fang, wouldn't our family pre-order a gold medal and a silver medal in advance? However, the gold medal must be mine!"

"Come on, it's good for you to guard your own one-acre three-point land. Don't be beaten and cried by your younger brother, and you will be humiliated." Brother Chuan added mercilessly.

It's really embarrassing to be beaten and cried by my younger brother, but it would be nice if my younger brother can win a championship because of it.But, if we really become rivals, I won't give you the championship casually.Right?I have been used to following you since I was a child, and if there is a real chance of a straight-up showdown, I would also like to make you cry.Who made you cry me so many times?
well.If you can come back again, even if you can't win the championship in your life, I will be willing.But... I am the captain, and football is not an individual project.

So, I think, after all, I will show the attitude of Lao Ye.

"Captain, if you hit 54 in the final, Li Bin..." Xuexue whispered in my ear, interrupting my thoughts.

"He's just an ordinary opponent, nothing special." I think I raised the corner of my mouth, showing a different smile than usual, "I don't care about him at all, not at all."
