Chapter 3 Keju

"Whoever scores three first, wins?" Yu Qiuping muttered to himself while watching the skillful footwork of the players on the field in fascination, passing back and forth.

"Oh? New faces? The voice coming from Yu Qiuping's side made him subconsciously turn his head. A middle-aged uncle walked briskly with a hearty smile. The aura exuded by this uncle made Yu Qiuping look at him more. The facial features are soft, and the eyes are swollen and shimmering with wisdom. The most enviable thing is his eyebrows, which are black and shiny as if they were painted.

"I don't know what to call this lord?" Yu Qiuping felt that such a temperamental person must not be a mortal, so he naturally used an honorific title.

"Don't dare to be an adult, just a businessman," the uncle laughed, "just call me uncle." ”

"Your first time here? I've never seen you before. The uncle stood still beside Yu Qiuping, but his eyes did not leave the Keju on the field.

"Yes, I'm from Mingguo, and I haven't been in Junfu City for a long time." Yu Qiuping explained. "This is the first time I've come here to see Kemari."

"Oh?" Uncle glanced quickly at the sidelines, "Then how do you know that three goals are the winner?" ”

"Guess," Yu Qiuping smiled, "I see there are a total of five lanterns there," he pointed to the sidelines, "The score of the two sides that can be indicated cannot exceed six, and now the team on the left has not won by two, it is estimated that it is three goals." ”

"Haha, guess right." The uncle stroked his palms and laughed, "Seeing the slight knowledge, it is worthy of being from the Ming Kingdom." As he spoke, several more middle-aged uncle's companions gathered around, and the uncle looked back at them, gesticulating, and one of them turned to leave. He turned around again and asked Yu Qiuping, "Then guess again, why are there only so many people here in the middle?" ”

"Could it be that this is an official competition?" Yu Qiuping replied casually.

"Guess right." The uncle smiled again, "There is a bounty tournament here every afternoon. Each team has to pay 600 yuan before playing to challenge the other teams. For each victory in the ring, the team receives a prize of 300 Wen. That's why so many Keju masters come here to try their skills! ”

"Since you're here, you don't just want to watch the game. I see that you are in good health, and you must be able to bow too? He turned his head sideways to Yu Qiuping and asked.

"Hey," this remark evoked memories of Yu Qiuping representing his class in the green field in junior high school, "It's really a bit of an itch." ”

"We just have one person missing here," the uncle nodded to the other four people beside him with his hand, "Why don't you come with us, and we will form a team?" ”

"Uh..." Yu Qiuping touched his pocket, and only brought ten cents on him to prepare for dinner. And he just finished paying off the money of Chaobina Taehyung, and there are more than 100 Wen left in total.

"I didn't bring enough money, it's okay! People who have nothing to do these days, who will bring more than 100 wen when they go out. The uncle saw Yu Qiuping's difficulty, "I invited you for your share of the money, which can be regarded as a welcome to the people from the Ming Kingdom." ”

"That's embarrassing." Yu Qiuping was just about to refuse, but he saw the uncle waving his hand again and again. "I didn't give you money for nothing, even if you play well, even if we hire a master to help, if you don't play well, you still have to go home and get the money, hahaha..."

Yu Qiuping and several people around him laughed when they heard this, and the embarrassing atmosphere just now was swept away. "It's really a pleasure to talk to you," Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "But I can only play defense, the merry eyes on our side of Mingguo are not quite the same as here, and I may not be able to shoot." ”

"No problem, it's just right," the uncle was happy when he heard this, "I'm afraid that you will score too many goals and steal my limelight." He clapped his hands, "That's it, Oping, you go and talk to the people over there, we'll go when this scene is over." ”

"I haven't asked you what to call it?" After sending someone away, the uncle asked Yu Qiuping.

"My name is Yu Qiuping." Yu Qiuping nodded.

"Surname Yu?"

"No, the surname is Yuqiu."

In the last game, the team on the left won 3:1, and after the team on the right left the field with a curse, Yu Qiuping and his party came to the right side of the field to warm up briefly. The uncle took off the kimono he had just worn and changed into light breeches and vest. Yu Qiuping happened to be wearing the sweatpants brought by the crossing, and the only regret was that the sneakers were not brought, so he had to put on the hard sneakers provided by Kejuba. When he took off his shirt, he carefully took off the red leaf pendant around his neck and wrapped it in his clothes.

It wasn't until he got on the field that he realized that this Keju seemed to be very different from football, and it wasn't just the height and size of the goal. The bouncing of the ball is not very good. And there is very little physical confrontation between the players, and it is mainly dependent on individual footwork.

After seeing several teammates skillfully taking their places, Yu Qiuping was not only a little dazed and at a loss. The other people simply stood symmetrically, so he stood about ten meters behind the uncle, directly behind the whole team.

As the drums sounded next to him, a red Keju was tossed high from the sidelines and jumped into the field. After the uncle snapped his fingers confidently, his figure flashed and rushed to the landing point of the ball. The opposing striker started and was already behind, so he had to catch up with the defense at full speed. However, the uncle who could have reached the ball immediately suddenly jumped to the left, and the opposing striker was caught off guard and didn't have time to stop, and the juju smashed in front of him and bounced back, jumping high over him, and the uncle flashed back from the left, controlled the ball behind him and rushed to the front.

"Is there any such operation?" Yu Qiuping was dumbfounded and watched the uncle who didn't touch the bow and went straight to the opposite goal. The opposing team's two fullbacks hurriedly came from both sides to assist in the defense, cooperating with the defenders to cover the uncle. The uncle glanced at the winger who followed up on the right, raised his left foot and kicked at Keju, and the opposing left-back who was rushing hurriedly retreated to block the passing route, and the opponent's defender also retreated to help defend. However, unexpectedly, the uncle's kick seemed to be deliberately kicked under Kemari, with a strong spin, and Kemari flew back to the middle lane immediately after hitting the ground for the first time when he flew to the right. The uncle took advantage of the situation to pass the right back who was still defending him and went straight to the opponent's merry eyes, and there was a gap in front of him.

Raise your foot, draw the ball, and bow through an arc, directly through the eye of the wind. In one go, without hesitation, every step of the choice is extremely decisive.

The opening is only a dozen seconds.

The surrounding audience was already dumbfounded, and it took a long time to let out a deafening cheer. The opposing player stopped in place with an expression of disbelief, and his mouth was as big as Yu Qiuping's, almost enough to stuff an egg.

"Uncle, do you really need teammates?" Yu Qiuping looked at the uncle with a breezy expression, walked back from the front field casually, and couldn't help shouting and asking.

"Haha, of course," the uncle snapped his fingers, "defense is very tiring, and it's not just a game, it's important to have a few more rounds of physical strength." ”

"Uncle, don't you need to conserve your strength? I kicked it so hard just now. As Yu Qiuping spoke, the player on the opposite side had already kicked off from the backfield and came up kicking. However, the uncle still had his back to the other party, facing Yu Qiuping, and had no intention of turning around to defend.

"Me? Why should I conserve my stamina? The uncle laughed like a child had succeeded in his trick, and the opposing attackers quickly crossed his side when he laughed, heading straight for Yu Qiuping's last line of defense.

"Because I'm not involved in defense!" The uncle smiled and snapped his fingers, and Yu Qiuping didn't have time to look, because the three strikers of the other party had already attacked in front of him.

The player who rushed directly in front of him flicked his feet slightly, as if he was about to pass the ball. Yu Qiuping subconsciously prepared to step forward to steal, but suddenly understood that he was not like the midfielder position he played before, but the last defender in front. So he changed his mind, and his left foot, which had already taken half a step, slammed to the ground, and the man also ran backwards. The opposing striker who thought he had used a feint to shake off Yu Qiuping had to stop and readjust, and at this time, Yu Qiuping's other two defenders rushed to help the defense. Seeing that the situation was not good, the opposite striker protected Keju with his back, and tried to force the door after pushing through Yu Qiuping, but was stumbled by the stronger Yu Qiuping.

Yu Qiuping took the opportunity to jump forward and wanted to break the ball, but the opposing striker turned around and half-blocked the route. The opposing striker made several attempts to break through but failed. At this time, the two wingers of their own side rushed to wrap up, and the opposing striker was impatient and forced to shoot with his feet and was blocked by Yu Qiuping and kicked to the front, which uncle easily hit three times again.

"Yuqiu, the defense is good," the uncle who returned from shooting gave Yu Qiuping a thumbs up, "Keep up the good work." ”

Yu Qiuping didn't expect to play for so long, but by the time he finished the tenth game, he was already as tired as a dog, holding his knees with his hands and panting. They never played until six minutes.

He had never been paired with such a strong teammate. The other four partners are not only skilled, but also physically strong. And the uncle in front of him makes him feel like playing with a world-class star. He has scored 30 goals in 10 games, and under Yu Qiuping's tenacious defense, he has only conceded six goals.

"How's it going, can you still kick?" The uncle took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and folded it back to his waist.

"I'm afraid it won't work," Yu Qiuping even struggled to speak, "I'm too tired to kick for so long." ”

"Haha, it's good to be able to hold on for so long, the young man is very well exercised." The uncle walked to the sidelines as he spoke, "Boss, we abstained and stopped fighting." ”

"You, every time you come, you have to win seven or eight games before you leave," the fieldkeeper over there complimented with a smiling face, "Don't you play a few more games?" Everyone is looking forward to your goal. ”
