Chapter 3 The Starting Point
Suddenly hearing her request, An Jie turned back with some surprise: "Shunxi, you...?"
Before Gu Shunxi could speak again, An Mengyu's eyes had already shone brightly, and she couldn't wait to step forward and look up and down at the girl in front of her, who was said to be her sister-in-law's student.
"How old are you? I look at my long legs, but I don't know if I'm running fast or not. ”
An Jie suddenly remembered that when she was in Baiquan Village, Gu Shunxi was known for running fast.
However, can the crazy running of the country child be compared to the official competition? Before she could understand it, An Mengyu was already like a cannon and gave orders to Gu Shunxi.
"Whatever that matters, you go warm up and run a hundred meters. ”
"Hot... Body?"
Hearing this, Gu Shunxi hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously cast his eyes for help to An Jie.
An Jie knew that she didn't quite understand the meaning of the word, and explained with a smile: "Warm-up refers to the preparation before running, just like everyone else on the playground, moving your hands and feet to warm up your body and avoid injuries while running." ”
Gu Shunxi nodded, with a serious little face, meticulously learning He Bushan's demonstration movements.
After that, I started a test run in an open space in the corner of the playground.
For other things, Gu Shunxi may not be excellent, but running is first-class good, after only running one or two hundred meters, An Mengyu has dispelled all her doubts, and her heart is firmly put back in her chest, the more she looks at Gu Shunxi, the more satisfied she is, and even a smug expression appears on her face.
Reaching out and patting the girl's thin shoulder, An Mengyu solemnly put her baton in Gu Shunxi's hand, as if she had completed some formal handover ceremony.
"This game is up to you. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to ask, how was your handover of the baton?"
"Passing the baton?"
Looking at Gu Shunxi's confused look, An Mengyu couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that the physical education teachers in your school only get paid and don't work. ”
Gu Shunxi lowered her head and smiled shyly, she didn't know how to answer this question, because Baiquangou Primary School didn't have a physical education teacher at all.
Fortunately, An Mengyu was just ridiculing, and she didn't really want to know if the physical education teacher of Baiquan Hope Primary School was really competent.
"You're a sports novice. Let me think about how many runs you should make. ”
An Mengyu frowned slightly, but after thinking about it for a few minutes, she came up with a plan.
"You must not fall behind at the start, the second and third positions have to take over and hand over the baton, you must not be able to do it, just run the fourth base. As long as you remember, after the start of the race, stand behind the white line, wait for He Bushan to pass the stick to you, and after catching it, you will rush to the finish line, and you must hold on to the stick in your hand, but you are not allowed to throw it out. ”
An Mengyu spoke seriously, and Gu Shunxi listened carefully.
"When He Bushan ran towards you, you were ready to take over the baton, stretching out your arms back, slightly up, but you don't have to be too deliberate, just feel that you just need to stretch out naturally, the palms of your hands should be back, your thumb and the other four fingers should be naturally opened, and the tiger's mouth should be facing down. At this time, He Bushan will send the baton forward and upward to your hand, remembering, the hand should be held in the middle of the baton. Don't worry, it's easy to take the baton, and you're the last one, just catch it, don't worry about anything else. ”
After the theoretical explanation is completed, it is the actual battle, He Bushan accompanied Gu Shunxi to practice a few batons, for running, Gu Shunxi seems to have lit up this skill since birth, only a few times of practice, and quickly mastered how to take over the baton in running.
An Mengyu watched from the sidelines, couldn't be more satisfied, dragged her injured leg, and jumped up and down to pull Gu Shunxi to change into sportswear.
"Let's go, change my clothes with me, and you'll have to change these shoes too, which are not suitable for running. ”
In the locker room, An Mengyu took out a pair of running shoes from his backpack and handed them to Gu Shunxi, which were a pair of beautiful red running shoes, with smooth and simple lines and suitable color matching, which looked very expensive.
"Fortunately, I have two pairs of shoes, you are a little taller than me, I guess the shoe size is not much different, try it first and see if it works." ”
An Mengyu had a round apple face, sweet looking, vibrant, and a hearty tone, standing in front of her, Gu Shunxi suddenly had a strong sense of crampedness, feeling that he was useless from head to toe and indecent. Gu Shunxi pursed his lips, took the sneakers, put them again, squatted down and lowered his head to untie his shoes, but his movements were a little slow.
An Mengyu saw that she was delayed, so she urged urgently.
"Don't bother, it's about to start. ”
Gu Shunxi's fingers straightened, and for a moment, she was a little overwhelmed, and a sense of inferiority that was about to be exposed overflowed her heart.
Fortunately, at this moment, An Mengyu suddenly seemed to remember something, and slapped her head suddenly.
"As for the clothes, you change them first, and I'll go change out of my sportswear. ”
After finishing speaking, he ran to the bathroom, Gu Shunxi let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly took off his shoes, revealing a pair of feet full of calluses and scars.
After changing her shoes, Gu Shunxi took a few steps forward, and even jumped twice, these running shoes made her experience unprecedented comfort, and there was even an unreal softness when she stepped on it. An Mengyu, who came out of the toilet, just saw this scene, and burst out laughing,
"How stupid are you, hurry up, let's go to the playground after changing our clothes. ”
Gu Shunxi scratched his head a little embarrassed, took his clothes, and walked into the bathroom quickly.
When the two of them returned to the playground, the loudspeaker was announcing the check-in of the junior high school women's 4x100m event.
Following An Mengyu's teammates, Gu Shunxi successfully completed the check-in.
Now, the only thing she needs to do is wait for the game to start.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the competition of the women's 4x100m event in the junior high school officially began.
At this moment, the wind on the playground was slightly stronger than before, and a large number of clouds gathered, and rain fell in the air.
The cold raindrops fell on Gu Shunxi's neck, she couldn't feel the cold, she looked down at her feet, she inevitably felt some nervousness, but there was something in her heart that couldn't be suppressed. Gu Shunxi was always worried that his hair would fall apart halfway, so he simply pulled off the head rope and tied it again, striving to make every strand of hair arranged clearly.
The starting gun sounded, Gu Congying in the first position of the baton moved when she heard the order, she reacted quickly, started quickly, the gunfire has always been half a body ahead of others, and the speed of the whole process did not lag behind, and she still maintained a starting advantage before handing over the baton.
The second baton of Zhou Zhou took over the baton perfectly, the speed is also fast, has maintained the lead, but in the handover of the baton, there was an accident, the third stick of He Bushan grasped the baton unsteadily, the baton fell on the track, around the field suddenly made a huge sound of pity, when He Bushan picked up the baton and continued to run forward, the two people next to him had taken the baton, ran forward, although they tried their best, they only caught up with a very small distance, and now Huayang Middle School fell in the third place, waiting for An Mengyu next to the finish line couldn't help but wail.
"It's over. ”
Gu Shunxi looked at He Bushan, who was still some distance away, pursed her lips, and felt that her throat was a little dry, she thought, maybe she was thirsty, and subconsciously touched her neck with her fingers, it was slippery and slippery, and what she touched was not only rain, but also mixed with some sweat. Brushing his rain-soaked hair with his hand, Gu Shunxi tried to calm himself down, replaying An Mengyu's words repeatedly in his mind.
"Just hold the baton and run as hard as you can. ”
The moment her fingers touched the baton, all the uneasy emotions disappeared, she strode forward, the speed was amazing, from the perspective of the audience, she strode forward, the frequency was fast, but a few swings, she caught up with the second place An He Middle School, An Mengyu happily clapped her hands, pulled her throat and shouted, refueling and running.
Gu Shunxi naturally couldn't hear her cheering, after surpassing the first person, she only had an opponent in front of her and the red line in front of her, but the runway left for her was getting shorter and shorter, so she had to run faster. Gu Shunxi thought so, and her body obeyed her instructions truthfully, almost injecting all the strength of her body into her legs, Gu Shunxi didn't feel tired at all, the running shoes on her feet seemed to help her go to the sky, she had never felt the joy of catching up so clearly.
Closer, closer.
Gu Shunxi only stared at the red line in front of her, she didn't have time to look at the opponents around her, and rushed forward, she only felt that a figure flashed by, and the girl from the fourth middle school who had been in the first place had been left behind by her, and when she came back to her senses, she had already hit the red line.
Gu Shunxi still didn't dare to stop, he still spared no effort to rush forward, An Mengyu, who was waiting at the finish line, was already excited and about to jump up, regardless of his sprain, screamed and ran over, hugged Gu Shunxi's thin but extremely explosive body, and took two people to rush forward a few steps in unison.
"Gu Shunxi, you are too powerful, you are the first, the first!"
The dramatic race made everyone in the audience cheer wildly, and An Jie on the side was also stunned in surprise, she only knew that Gu Shunxi was running fast, but she didn't expect her sprint to be so good.
"This ...... It's unbelievable. ”
A brief passing cloud rain soon stopped, the wind blew, and the sun came out.
The soft sunlight shone in through the gaps in the clouds that had not yet dispersed, and fell on Gu Shunxi's immature shoulders, she gasped to calm her emotions, raised her head, and covered her fingers to see the situation on the field clearly.
The green and the blue sky meet, the wind is so strong, everyone around them is cheering, what are they talking about, Gu Shunxi can't hear it clearly, her body seems to be numb, she stretched out her hand to cover her chest, there was an unprecedented emotion overflowing, stimulating her heart to beat violently.
What could be more exciting in this world than passion and glory?
At this moment, Gu Shunxi, who was wearing a red and white sportswear and a 3021 number plate tied to her body, would not know that it was such an ordinary middle school student sports meeting that would become the starting point of her epic journey.
