Chapter 627: Horizontal
(a)
It was pitch black in the field, and I couldn't see my fingers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
You stand quietly in the firing position. You raise your gun in the thick darkness ahead.
You pull the trigger. You shoot at a constant velocity with an average of 5 second shots. The fastest 10-ring shot I've ever seen is 45 rounds per minute.
Gunshots echoed through the empty field.
You shot 10 shots in one go.
You stop to change your bullets and get ready to fight again.
With a "pop", the headlights of the venue came on. The snow was shining in front of me. You turn back.
You see a man standing at the doorway of the venue. He said to you, "It's hard! ”
He walks up to you and holds out his hand to you.
"It's nice that we're meeting again," he said. ”
You recognize him as Teacher Zhou. You're a little taken aback.
You said, "Director Zhou, it's so late, why are you here?" ”
Teacher Zhou said: "I happened to be waiting for someone nearby today, I was walking in the sports field above, I heard the sound of gunshots, I thought that Lao Wang had not left, so I stopped by to have a look." ”
You shake his hand.
You said, "It was Lao Wang who told you that I often come here at night to practice guns." You've come to see me practice guns, right? ”
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he smiled and said, "Since you have guessed everything, I don't need to make up reasons." ”
He said: "Anyway, I recommended you to Principal Cheng, and I always feel a little apprehensive when I don't see you shooting. It's not that I don't believe in Lao Wang's vision and recommendation, it's just that I've been used to it for many years, and I want to verify everything in person, so that I can live up to others. ”
You say, "It should be, it should be." I should have promised Lao Wang to go again earlier, thank you. ”
Teacher Zhou said, "You don't have to be polite anymore. I know why you're delaying coming to see me. ”
Your face flushed slightly, but Mr. Zhou didn't notice your blush.
He stared at the target with interest and said, "Can you see how you played?" ”
You say, "Of course." "You press the slide button, and the target slides along the vegetable patch in this direction.
(b)
Teacher Zhou held the target paper in his hand. He saw 10 clear bullet holes in a horizontal line, evenly distributed on the midline of the interval from Ring 1 to Ring 10.
He looks at you in amazement.
He picked up another piece of target paper from the gun stand next to him, and he used the edge of the target paper as a ruler to compare the bullet holes.
They are completely on a horizontal line, without deviation, and even the center of the bullet hole is almost in a straight line.
He looks at you in disbelief. He said, "No way! How can it be? ”
"No one can do it," he said. ”
You say, "It's just a coincidence." ”
Teacher Zhou shook his head and said, "How can this be a coincidence!" It's real technology! It turns out that what they told me is true! It turns out that what Lao Wang said is true! ”
He asks you, "How did you do that?" ”
You say, "Deep serenity and concentration." When you get there, you don't have to work hard, you can do it naturally. “
He said, "Who taught you?" ”
You say, "My father taught me how to shoot, but I figured it out on my own." ”
Teacher Zhou looked at the target paper in his hand again.
He said, "You played like a myth!" ”
(c)
You said, "Director Zhou has won the award." You are the legend and myth of the shooting world, and you have cultivated so many champions and masters for the shooting industry, making this obscure sport deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”
Teacher Zhou said, "With your talent, it's a shame to teach children here!" You should go back to professional sports, that's where you come in. You will bring supreme glory to the country and the nation, and become a legend in the history of sports. ”
He said, "You know, the last time I came here to see your student Weixin, although she was young, she was determined and insightful, and she made a great impression on me. I've looked at all of your instructions to her. Since then, I've really been obsessed with seeing you day and night. ”
He said: "Young man, you really shouldn't give in here, you should go to a place that is more suitable for you. Although as an old friend, I can't dig into the corner of Lao Wang, but I believe that Lao Wang also has the same regret as me, you are here, it is really too condescending! ”
You look at Teacher Zhou.
You said, "Director Zhou, without your trust and help, I would not have been able to come here to teach and return to shooting sports." From the bottom of my heart, I am very grateful for your help and encouragement. ”
You say, "I might be going to disappoint you, though." I'd better just tell the truth, it's easier for both sides. ”
You say, "I don't want to go back to professional sports." Both as a player and as a coach. ”
You say, "This is the place for me." ”
You say, "This is the end." I wouldn't go anywhere else. I'm so sorry. ”
Teacher Zhou said, "But, why? ”
You say, "I just like shooting, I don't like to fight people, and I don't like to beat people." I don't like the latter two as much as I like the former. Once or twice once or twice, it's still acceptable, but when I think about doing the last two things every day, I really can't stand it. I feel depressed when I think about it. ”
You say, "It was because I didn't like the latter two that I decided to leave professional sports and never go back." I fell out with my family because of this. After all these years, my father refused to forgive me. I can't even go home. ”
You say, "Director Zhou, I know that such a refusal is very impolite and unreasonable. But, as I'm sure you know, one can't push oneself to do something that one's heart is very unwilling to do. Even if you do it reluctantly, it won't have good results. Do you agree? ”
Teacher Zhou said, "When you refused to come to see me again, I was already aware of it. When Idealism categorically rejected my invitation, I understood your intentions. She is a little girl, after being influenced and nurtured by you, she will make such a resolute and decisive choice, let alone yourself. ”
Teacher Zhou said, "I know that you are a very assertive and determined person, and if you decide not to do it, it will be difficult for me to convince you to change your mind. It's just that I've been looking for pillars of talent all my life, and after seeing such a miraculous skill as you, if I don't take action, it will be difficult for me to forgive myself in this life. Can you understand this? If I don't come to talk to you properly, I'll never be able to settle down. ”
You say, "Director Zhou, I understand very well. I also admire your sincerity and open-mindedness in nurturing the best people from all over the world for this sport. ”
"Although I will not return to professional sports, I will do my best in my current position, hoping to cultivate more good seedlings for the provincial youth team for you to choose from, and lay a good foundation for their future studies," you said. ”
Teacher Zhou said: "It is really rare for young people like you to be like you, who are not moved by fame and fortune at all and adhere to the principles of life. It's me who should express my admiration. Perhaps, it is necessary to be so undisturbed in order to achieve such a supernatural transformation. ”

Teacher Zhou said, "However, the reason you just said doesn't seem to be very sufficient. ”
You smile, you say, "Director Zhou, do you believe in fate?" ”
Teacher Zhou looks at you.
You say, "There are some things that are just fate, and I can't say why." ”
Teacher Zhou said: "In addition to fate, there are also unspeakable reasons. ”
You pause. You honestly say, "Yes." ”
Teacher Zhou looks at you. He reaches out and pats you on the shoulder and says, "Okay." Frank enough. ”
He said, "Since you find it difficult to speak, I won't ask any more questions." After seeing you shoot, now, a stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, and I felt at ease when I saw you become the principal. I really recommended an outstanding talent for him, and I didn't abuse my power and let him be wronged. ”
Teacher Zhou said, "Young man, I have said the same thing to Idealism. If you change your mind at any time, you can come to me at any time, to the office, to your home, to call me, it's all fine. You can talk to Lao Wang, and you can do the same. As long as I am in this position, this door will always be open to you. ”
You say, "Thank you very much." ”
Looking at Mr. Zhou's regretful expression of loss, you also feel very uncomfortable in your heart.
You hesitate for a moment, then decide that you still want to say something to comfort him.
You say, "Actually, Director Zhou, you don't have to feel sorry. As I just said, even if I promise you to return to professional sports, you will definitely leave soon, not for long. What you want me to do, I am not destined to do. ”
You say, "You don't really have anything to lose." ”
Teacher Zhou looked at you suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean?" Can you make that clearer? ”
You say, "You'll understand later." I didn't promise you, but you have nothing to lose. ”
You say, "You'll understand later." ”

Later, after Mr. Zhou attended your memorial service, he returned home with Instructor Wang, comforting the grief-stricken Instructor Wang.
He told Director Wang about it.
He told Wang: "Now, I clearly remember what he said to me at that time. ”
"He knew he wasn't going to live long," he said. ”
"He's already in the know," he said. ”
Teacher Zhou said: "He said that your shooting range is his destination, and he will not go anywhere else." (To be continued.) )
