Chapter 743: Mr. Brown's Wish
(a)
That day, you asked Director Wang, "What do you want me to do if I stay for a few more days?" ā
Director Wang said: "The principal wants you to meet someone and play a game with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
You say, "Who?" ā
Director Wang said, "Mr. Brown. ā
Director Wang said: "You also know that this matter has been lively in the school for a long time. In two days, he will come to the school in person. At a young age, Mr. Brown was a good shooter before he served in the military and became a pilot. He has won more than 200 medals in shooting competitions in the military. If it weren't for the war, he would have the strength to fight for the Olympic gold medal. He was very interested in the school's shooting team. On the phone with Lao Zhou, he listened to Lao Zhou talk about your magic. He offered to meet you and try it out with you. He was very eager for it. ā
You say, "That's right." ā
You endure the pain, clench your right hand into a fist and press your abdomen, gasping and saying, "I have no problem leaving a few days later, I can have another class for a day or two." But I hadn't touched a gun in a long time since I took sick leave and didn't go to work, and I wasn't sure if I could shoot a gun at the same level as before. Maybe, I'll let him down. ā
Director Wang said, "However, Principal Cheng is looking forward to you. If you can satisfy Mr. Brown, he will promise to give the shooting team a long-term, fixed, substantial sponsorship. You know what that means for the prestige and ranking of our varsity team and the school as a whole. Principal Cheng has always wanted to make the school a prestigious school. This was his life's ideal. ā
You groaned for a moment. Director Wang looked at you with mixed feelings. Cold sweat runs down your cheeks. You're forced by bouts of colic, your lungs are so dull that they almost explode, and you have to open your mouth and gasp hard.
After a while, you said, "The school has been very tolerant and generous to me in all aspects in the past few years, and finally helping the school is what I should do before leaving." ā
You say, "I can try my best." I will do my best. However, the effect of the game, I tell you the truth, cannot give you any guarantees. ā
Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also ashamed and uncomfortable in his heart.
He hurriedly said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter what it turns out to be." You promise to try, meet him and talk, and have a little bit of a conversation, and that's it. Don't be reluctant. If the physical condition really does not allow, it is also providential, and the school is very grateful for your efforts. If you really don't think it's okay, don't refuse it for the sake of embarrassment. ā
You smile. You say, "What does Principal Cheng want me to do with him?" ā
Instructor Wang said: "You should grasp the balance yourself, not only to let him fully understand the level and strength of our shooting team, but also to leave him with dignity and self-esteem. ā
You say, "Can't you let the new teacher compare with him?" Hasn't he already reported for duty? ā
Director Wang took out two forms and handed them to you. "That's what I thought," he said. But see for yourself. This is a comparison of their two historical results. They are not on one level. ā
You look at the form. Say, "What do you compare yourself?" ā
Coach Wang said: "You know that I have never been a professional player. Moreover, I am already old. ā
You say, "I'm afraid I won't be able to stand and fight for a long time." ā
Wang said: "It won't take long, it won't take long. You don't need to play the whole game. You'll just shoot him 10 times, and that's it. Only 10 shots. ā
You look at Director Wang. You say, "Okay. ā
Director Wang said: "Thank you so much! ā
Say, "What more do you say between us?" This is what I should have done for the team and for the school. In case I miss, I have to ask Principal Cheng and you to bear with me. ā
Wang said, "You won't miss it. I have faith in you. You're sure to surprise him. ā
You say, "In that case, I want to go back to the team for practice once or twice before the game." ā
Instructor Wang said: "No problem, no problem, I will bring the team doctor and the car to pick you up." I'll also take care of the ticket changes. You don't have to worry about it. You don't need to really work hard in class, just sit and rest on the playground, wait for him to come over, meet and say a few words, that's it. ā
You say, "I hope I can live up to my mission." ā
After Director Wang left, you fell on the desk again weakly.
You're in a trance, wheezing heavily, and you can't move anymore.
For fear that Director Wang would be worried, and that he would insist on sending you home, you didn't show him the results of the last review.
Director Wang didn't know that the spear of death had pierced your chest.

"Heart! The guide came over today! ā
As soon as I entered the shooting range, Xiao Song opened his arms and flew over like a little swallow. She said to me with a look of excitement on her face.
I said, "New guidance?" ā
Xiao Song shook his head desperately and said, "No." It's the guide who came back to work. ā
I was taken aback: "What? How can it be? Isn't the guide going home soon? ā
Xiao Song said: "Really. He said that he would go home until the next week, and that he would come back for a few days this week. ā
Why did you come back? I think of Kaohsiung's "eggshell that has fallen once". How can you come back to work in your current physical condition? Even a day is dangerous.
I said, "Where's the guidance?" ā
Xiao Song said: "Practice guns over there." ā
(c)
I flew to the pistol group's practice area.
I see you with earplugs and eyepieces, sitting on a bench behind the target position, with your Walter 2.0 in your hand.
You hear my footsteps, turn back from your chair, and look at me.
You say, "Heart." ā
I said, "Are you going to postpone your departure for a week?" ā
You say, "Hmm." ā
I said, "They're all saying, 'The school wants you to play Mr. Brown?' ā
You say, "Yes." So come back to work for a few more days. ā
I said worriedly, "In this case, you have no strength to walk from here to the outside of the sports field, why does the school still want you to play?" ā
I said, "Are you physical?" Won't it get tired? How can you promise them to come to work? ā
You say, "Lao Wang said, just accompany him to shoot 10 shots." It's also here to rest when you go to work, and you don't have to really take care of things. ā
I said, "How long can you hold a gun now?" ā
You say, "As long as I can lift my gun, time will be gone." ā
You say, "It's like this." ā
You take a deep breath, you grip the pistol in front of you, you lift it up, and almost at the same time as you lift it, I hear a crunch and you've hit the bull's-eye.
You say, "As long as I can lift my gun then." ā
You say, "10 moments, very quickly." Don't worry. ā
You say, "I've caused a lot of trouble to Director Wang over the years. I should have helped him one last handful. ā
I bowed my head and stopped talking.
You look at me.
You say, "Wouldn't it be nice to be able to come back here, to see you here again?" ā
You say, "It's only for a few days." ā
Oh, yes! A good night is worth a thousand gold.

"Are you crazy?" Kaohsiung sat down across from you.
He said, "You've seen the CT results as well. You know better than everyone what the situation is. How can you go back to work now? ā
You say, "Just make a show." ā
Kaohsiung said: "It's dangerous to be pretentious." Have you forgotten what my mom said to you? You need to stay in bed as much as possible, stay in bed! Even going down to the ground should be minimized, and it is not allowed to go downstairs by yourself. ā
You said, "I didn't go downstairs by myself, Lao Wang would come to pick me up every time, and the one who helped me go downstairs almost carried me." ā
Kaohsiung looked at you and sighed.
He said: "I know that you owe Lao Wang a favor, and you want to repay him for his kindness and care, but you can't work hard with your body." ā
You look at Kaohsiung. You say, "I know all about your heart." However, there are some things, if they are destined to happen, they cannot be avoided, and they cannot be escaped. Anyway, it's going to happen like that. ā
Kaohsiung said, "What are you talking about? ā
You smiled. Say, "Fate is hard to disobey, and debts must be paid." ā
Kaohsiung said: "Fate? Owe? ā
You say, "You'll understand later." ā
