Chapter 22: Do your best

Li He said: "I said, in my mind, Argentina is the champion, but the Netherlands is also very strong, and the team I like is a bit of a tragedy, you say Baggio, do you know how many beautiful women who don't understand football also shed tears for Baggio? Tragedy is also the charm of football." I want Argentina to win, but the bigger the hope, the greater the disappointment, maybe I don't think they can make it to the last four, and they surprise me at the end? I don't mind if I guess wrong, as long as Argentina has a third star embroidered on their jerseys. ”

"Okay," Kang Xingjian shook his head and said, "I will never follow you in the semi-finals, you are willing to bet on Argentina to lose, and I never believe that Italy will lose to France." What's even more outrageous, do you think Croatia can win against the powerful Germanic chariot, and the Bo underdog is also a bit of a spectrum, okay?"

Li He laughed and said: "Since it is a Bo underdog, then why do you still have to talk about the rules?" He originally wanted to bet on the score of Croatia beating Germany, but if he even guessed the score correctly, would it seem too abnormal? But he continued: "Anyway, it's already blind to get here, so I guess Croatia can get the third place as an underdog." ”

"What about the champion?" asked Youke.

Li He said: "Brazil, it must be Brazil, the Brazil of the alien Ronaldo." Li He clearly remembers that Brazil defeated France in this World Cup, snatched the title on the Frenchman's doorstep, and got his fifth star, and he still remembers Ronaldo shining in the final and laying down his dynasty.

He doesn't know how much money he can win if he starts from the top 16 all the way to the end, but he feels that he still has room for better, although he clearly remembers that Brazil won the championship, France second, and Croatia broke the biggest upset in this World Cup to get third, but he guessed the top four and did not continue to bet, nor did he rank the top four, and if the ranking is all right, the money won will definitely be multiplied several times, but Li He feels that it is not a lot to win the top four, and the words of the cheap guy in his head are still very clear, if he wants to get rich overnight, maybe that guy will make some moths。

You Ke nodded and said: "It's okay, watching the game with too much purpose will lose the fun, just put this aside after betting, no matter what the final result is, as you said, just leave a memorial." ”

Kang Xingjian muttered, "Then what else do you need to get a power of attorney, as for it?"

Li He smiled and said, "Brother Ke is teaching us." ”

You Ke is very satisfied with Li He's unobtrusive sycophant, and he really thinks so, Kang Xingjian is his cousin, not to mention it, now he also has a good impression of Li He, if you change someone, he is not willing to pass on these experiences of his own to them. But then again, to be able to learn from such a detail, you have to be savvy enough. He felt that this classmate of his cousin was undoubtedly very perceptive.

You Ke waited for Li He and Kang Xingjian to sign, Kang Xingjian also voted for several other teams to enter the quarterfinals and the semifinals, he also asked Kang Xingjian to sign, the procedures were finished, You Ke remembered something again, and said: "I heard Xiaokai say that your sophomore year of high school is over, and the summer school requires you to carry out social practice, so come to my company when the time comes." ”

Kang Xingjian shook his head again and again and said, "If I don't come, I already have a plan." ”

You Ke asked curiously, "What are your plans?"

Kang Xingjian smiled and said, "Brother, you are old, so don't ask about young people." Okay, the betting business is over, I'm going to help Brother Hei buy a car, well, buy a bicycle. ”

"Stinky boy!" You Ke expressed his indignation at Kang Xingjian when he said that he was old, scolded with a smile, and asked: "What kind of bicycle to buy, do you need my help?"

Kang Xingjian waved his hand and said, "No, one of our classmates has a car dealership at home." ”

Kang Xingjian is talking about Li Jingwei, Li Jingwei's family runs a brand bicycle store, joining brands such as Giant and Merida, of course, also selling assembled cars, Li He didn't know before, and it was also after he said he wanted to buy a bicycle yesterday, Kang Xingjian told him. And they also made an appointment, Kang Xingjian and Li He went to meet Li Jingwei and them after they went out from You Ke's company, and after buying a car, they didn't go to class in the afternoon, and asked a group of friends to ride out together......

Coming out of You Ke's company, Li He already felt that the jackpot of the World Cup competition was beckoning to him, and after being reborn, he found that many memories of his previous life were blurred, fortunately, he still remembered the World Cup game very clearly, maybe the cheap guy in the sky didn't know that there was such a thing as football in the mortal world, and he didn't know that football could also make people rich. Although the investment of 1000 yuan is not much, if everything goes well, from the top 16 to the top four, he should still be able to fight a millionaire for him, and in the 90s, a millionaire can still be regarded as a millionaire.

I'm afraid......

Forget it, there are things that he can't control, Li He left the faint worries in his heart behind as soon as he turned his head, let's enjoy the time of youth first, buy a bicycle and go for a ride with my friends, bathed in the sunshine of the midsummer of 16, is there anything better than this?

Yes, that is, there is one more beautiful little girl to accompany him on this journey......

But Li He was too late, and it was only a few days since he returned to this time and space, and many details were a little different from his memory, but he clearly knew that he had not yet reached the point where the little girl cried and shouted upside down when the tiger's body was shaken.

Of course, this is a pity, but Li He is in a good mood now, he believes that as long as he continues to go like this, what should come will definitely come, and it is definitely different from his previous life.

But in Li Jingwei's place, Li He didn't pay much attention to it when he bought a car, and asked Li Jingwei to help him with a mountain bike of about 800 yuan, anyway, Li Jingwei would not pit him, and the most important purpose of his buying this car was not to go out with his friends. So after riding with them for a while, the friends decided not to study at night, but Li He rode back to school alone.

To be precise, Li He did not go back to school for evening self-study, but rode a bicycle and walked around the perimeter of the school a few times.

After going around the school a few times, although he had been away for more than ten years, but when he returned here, Li He found that he was still very familiar with everything around him, that is, he had Ji Xiao in his head, otherwise he would wander around with his friends, or go to watch the game again, which would be fine.

When he returned to school, he was already halfway through the evening self-study, and the school gate was locked, so Li He didn't block himself at the doorman, but went around to the back alley, found one in those small shops that he frequented and stuffed himself in, ordered a few skewers of barbecue, and took out his notebook from his schoolbag to draw a map.

The back door of the school is not open at night, and Ji Yu came out of the school after evening self-study, so he could only walk through the main gate. It's also a little out of the seventh middle school, after going out from the school gate, walking along the road is also lively, but in addition to the main road, there are a few small roads, not all of them are so brightly lit.

First of all, it can be ruled out that the main road is Chaoyang Avenue, and the students of No. 7 Middle School basically go home along this road after evening self-study, even if Ji Xiao walks late, there are people and cars on this road, and there is no safety hazard. Two of the trails are said to be paths, one is just a small circle back to Chaoyang Avenue, and the other leads directly to the nearest property complex, and these two roads will not be a problem. But there are two roads left, and in Li He's opinion, if the time is too late, it is indeed dangerous.

One is the back alley where he is now, although the back alleys are all small businesses, but these catering stalls will be closed with the end of the students' evening self-study, this alley is tortuous, very long, the street lights are not very bright, and the houses are all rental houses with relatively large mobility, even if something happens, it is estimated that no one will come out to make a noise. At this time, the Skynet project has not yet been rolled out, and even if it is rolled out, these places are often dead ends, and no matter what happens, it is indeed difficult to capture the traces.

And this alley also leads to the newly repaired ring road behind the school, and the newly built road is also deserted with few people, if Ji Xiao bumps into the ring road by himself, it is really called that the earth is not working, even if it is dragged from the back alley, it will not be found after being dragged to the ring road for a while.

The road in the back alley is undoubtedly very dangerous, and there is a road that is from Chaoyang Avenue to the east after walking 200 meters into the power plant road, that area is an old factory, what glass factory, paper mill, canning factory, etc., in the early 90s, almost all of them closed down, and the factory workers also lived in the old dormitory, but they were scattered, and this road was naturally not safe at night. This road is not as desolate as the newly built ring around the city, and it is a shortcut, walking less than 500 meters and can be worn to the avenue, during the day many students of the seventh middle school are going here, but at night, those abandoned dilapidated factories, it is really a good place to kill people and steal goods.

Li He just couldn't remember the specific time and place of Ji Xiao's accident, and the only available information in his mind was the eve of the college entrance examination and near the school, which to be honest, really drove him crazy.

But no matter what, if you remember this in your head, you have to find a way to stop it from happening.

Li He looked at the time, the evening self-study was about to end, paid the bill, came out of the small shop, and rode back to the school gate. As soon as half past nine o'clock arrived, as the bell rang for the end of the evening self-study, soon, the road at the school gate was like a flood, and a large number of students came out of it, some walking, some cycling, noisy, and full of people.

Some readers are wondering, isn't the World Cup winner in '98 France? That's right, France. Lao Bai wrote this just to make the protagonist feel that his memory is not so reliable, otherwise gambling is so easy to make money, people will develop the habit of making money from this, and they are not the kind of people who are so strong-willed, it is easier to be inert.

I thought I didn't need to explain it in particular......
