Chapter 12: I'll Teach You
When the sound of light music representing the end of school came from the loudspeakers in all corners of the campus, Hu Lai pulled the schoolbag that he had already packed out of the table, got up and pushed away the stool, and then held the schoolbag with one hand and squeezed it out of the gap between Song Jiajia's body and the desk.
He couldn't wait to run out the back door of the classroom.
When Li Qingqing packed up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom with the flow of people, the corridor outside the classroom was already full of students from various classes, carrying schoolbags on their backs, and they were all walking towards the staircase, forming a crowd.
In this crowd, she did not see Hulai.
※※※
Hu Lai was so impatient because he had secretly drunk the [Pulp Cleansing Elixir] rewarded by the task before-the things in the system could appear directly in his hands as long as he had a single thought, but in order to avoid scaring others and causing him to be unable to speak, Hu Lai took the opportunity to go to the toilet to take out the bottle of medicine in the cubicle, and then drank it with the unique pungent taste of the toilet.
The potion looked colorless, smelled tasteless, no different from a normal bottle of pure water, and drank it as well.
After drinking, Hulai wanted to see if his physical fitness had improved, but he realized that there was no data - all aspects of his body were not in front of him in the form of numbers.
Therefore, if he wants to know his physical condition at a glance through numbers, it is impossible.
Since he couldn't look at the properties panel, Hulai wanted to test it directly with practical actions.
That's why he couldn't wait to be the first to rush out of the classroom after school.
He's going to his secret base to test if his coordination has improved.
※※※
When Hulai picked up the soccer ball he had hidden yesterday from the grass, he couldn't contain his heart from racing.
He was both expectant and nervous, and his heart was apprehensive.
He was worried that nothing had changed in his body after drinking the potion, that the effect of the potion was very, very slight, and that what he had experienced today was just a dream......
Then his hands holding the soccer ball were slightly apart, and the soccer ball fell from the air, and at the same time, his right foot was raised to meet the soccer ball.
The ball landed on his right foot and bounced upwards, followed by Hulai's right foot on the ground and his left heel lifted up to meet the falling ball.
Before, Hulay had been playing badly on the ball, and now he thought of testing his coordination in this way.
When his left foot touched the ball, he didn't control the force well, and the ball bounced off violently.
"Damn!"
Looking at the football that fell somewhere else, Hulai cursed, then chased after it, picked it up again, and continued to try to juggle the ball.
This time he lasted three rounds and failed again.
But Hulay didn't give up and kept trying.
Sometimes he can hold on a few more rounds, and sometimes he fails the first time.
In the process of trying again and again, Hulay gradually found that his body seemed to have changed a little, and it was a little different from before.
Before, his body was like a rusty machine, creaking and inflexible.
And now, every joint of his body seems to be lubricated. As he tried, the solidified lubricant melted away, wrapping the joints and allowing the body to run smoothly......
It's not particularly coordinated, but it's better than before.
At first, Hulai thought it was a delusion, but as he kept bouncing the ball, the feeling became clearer and clearer, and Hulai could finally be sure that the bottle of potion rewarded by the system really worked!
After confirming this, Hulai had a bold idea in his mind - he wanted to challenge the more difficult juggling ball!
So he turned the ball upside down again, and then as the ball fell, he raised his left foot high and stepped over the ball, and at the same time raised his right foot again to stop the ball.
He's seen those professional players do this juggling action, effortlessly, chic.
But when it was his turn to do it himself, it was a different story.
When he lifted his left foot around the ball and then lifted his right foot to bounce the ball, he lost his balance and sat on the ground with his back on his back.
"What are you doing?"
At the same time, a crisp voice came from behind him.
Hu Lai turned his head and saw Li Qingqing, who was looking at him curiously with his hands behind his back.
"Why are you here?"
"Can't I come?"
"This is my secret training base......"
"This is my home."
Hearing Li Qingqing say this, Hu Lai got up from the ground with a grunt: "Your family? ”
"yes, my family." Li Qingqing pouted at the red brick wall on the high platform on the left.
Hulai looked over, and found that the window above was ajar, and the curtains had been hung in the window at some point, and when the wind blew through the window, the light green curtains swayed gently with the wind.
"It's not...... I've been playing here for a month, and I haven't seen anyone living in it......" Hulay said, pointing around, and the windows on the other two walls were closed except for the window, and there was no sign of anyone living there.
"I just moved here." Li Qingqing said.
Hu Lai remembered Li Qingqing's identity as a transfer student, and had nothing to say.
Then he felt heartache - the secret base that used to belong to him alone was now inhabited, which meant that he probably couldn't continue to play here......
Hu Lai was thinking about where to find such a perfect secret base to continue his special training when he heard a muffled sound.
Boom!
Li Qingqing's hands behind her back threw something and landed between Hu Lai and herself.
It was a black crossbody sports bag.
"What's this?" Hulay looked down at the bag.
The zipper of the satchel was not properly drawn, revealing something like a rope.
"It's true that your coordination is very bad, but coordination can also be improved through training." Li Qingqing said as she squatted down and took something out of her bag.
She took out the rope-like thing, and Huley realized that it was a rope ladder.
Then Li Qingqing took out the logo cone and logo disc from the bag, as well as the logo rings of different colors.
"From today onwards, I'm going to train your coordination." After taking out everything, Li Qingqing got up and said to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai looked at the pile of things on the ground and wondered, "How to train?" ”
Li Qingqing first took out two red logo discs and placed them separately at her feet.
Then she pulled up the rope ladder, measured the distance with her footsteps, walked to about five meters of the starting line, laid the rope ladder, and then continued along the rope ladder, ten meters away from the rope ladder, and placed a yellow sign cone.
After doing this, Li Qingqing returned to the red flag disc at the beginning, she stood in the middle of the two logo discs, and said to Hu Lai: "This is the starting line. To run from this starting line to the agility ladder, then jump into each square with one foot, finish the agility ladder, and then sprint to the yellow marker cone, make a counterclockwise circle and run back to the starting line. ”
After saying that, she rushed out, and when she ran in front of the agility ladder, she jumped into the grid with one foot instead, jumped the agility ladder one by one, and then accelerated to the yellow cone barrel, and after a circle, she slowed down and jogged back. The whole movement is very smooth and smooth.
"Here you go." After running back, Li Qingqing said to Hu Lai.
"It's as simple as that?" Hu Lai saw that Li Qingqing was doing it very easily, and he was a little skeptical that such a simple training could improve his coordination.
"You'll find out once you come." Li Qingqing didn't explain either.
"Come on, come on." Hu Lai stood on the starting line, and then he saw Li Qingqing take out a whistle from his coat pocket and stuff it into his mouth.
"Beep——!"
After the whistle blew, he rushed out.
He ran two steps away from five meters, and then came to the rope ladder, where he wanted to jump on one foot. Only then did Hulay realize that the reality was not what he had imagined......
When others rushed to the rope ladder and wanted to switch positions, the inertia of his body made him unable to brake the car, and he jumped directly to the second grid......
The whistle blew.
"Wrong, jump one grid at a time, don't skip it." Li Qingqing said very sternly after blowing the whistle. "Do it all over again!"
The second time Hulai slowed down as he rushed out, and when he reached the rope ladder, he managed to jump into the first grid.
"Hah!"
He laughed.
But then in the second, third, and fourth squares, with each one-foot jump, the inertia accumulated more and more, and finally in the fifth square, the kinetic energy of the first four squares made him unable to maintain his balance, and directly skewed out of the rope ladder range.
Li Qingqing's whistle sounded again.
"Come again!"
The third time Hu Lai learned to be smart, he made himself stand firm before each jump and then jumped into the next square, so there was no problem of inertia, but Li Qingqing asked him to return to the starting point and start again: "Six-year-old children are faster than you!" ”
Fourth.
"Stay on one foot and don't let the other foot hit the ground!"
"Keep your balance and don't dangle your upper body!"
"Counterclockwise, you're running backwards!"
……
After ten sets in a row, Hulai was out of breath - he thought it was a simple training, but he didn't expect it to be so tiring.
"Take a half-minute break." Li Qingqing grabbed the electronic chronograph hanging on his chest and glanced at it, "Then change to jumping with both feet." ”
Hulai thought that jumping on two feet was easier than jumping on one foot, because jumping on one foot also had a balance to consider. But when he really started jumping with two feet, he found that it was actually the same as jumping on one foot - each square of the rope ladder is not big, and if the speed and strength are not well controlled, it is easy to lose balance and rhythm, resulting in failure.
After another 10 sets of double-foot jumps, Li Qingqing asked Hu Lai to jump with both feet in the first four squares of the rope ladder, and the last four squares to jump with one foot instead.
Do this for 10 sets, rest for a minute, and then return to the training subject of the first one-legged jump, and do another 10 sets...... And so on and so forth.
※※※
Hu Lai did it very seriously, Li Qingqing was watching from the side, blowing less and less whistles to suspend training, and reminded him loudly.
In fact, the training is very boring, and the intensity is not small, because when Li Qingqing trained before, she was not the only one, but also other companions. They work in groups of ten, and after each of them finishes once, they will line up at the back of the line, and then wait for the teammates in front of them to finish all before it is their turn.
So the break is never more than half a minute.
Hulai, on the other hand, has no other teammates, he is alone, and after practicing one group, he will immediately move on to the next set, and he can not rest for a minute until the ten sets are completed.
But he didn't cry out tired, nor did he complain.
He was like a man who was about to be drowned, grasping at the last straw and struggling desperately. It doesn't matter if this straw can help him get out of danger......
Li Qingqing did not tell Hu Lai the real situation, in fact, the best time for coordination training is between the ages of eight and thirteen, which is known as the golden age of coordination training.
In other words, even if she starts training Hulai now, the final effect may not be good.
It is possible that in the end, Hulai practiced hard for a month, but still could not be selected for the school team.
But Hulay didn't know this, and he could guess from the strength of his training, as if he really saw hope in this training.
This made Li Qingqing feel a little guilty, she first shattered the boy's hope with her own hands, and then deceived him with a false hope...... If he knew the truth, would he hate himself for the rest of his life?
※※※
As the training progressed, Hulai noticed that the feeling of lubricating oil in his body had reappeared.
He knew that it was the effect of the [marrow washing potion], and if it weren't for this thing, he might not have noticed the changes in his body so quickly.
He enjoyed the feeling so much that when Li Qingqing told him that today's training was over, he was still a little unsatisfied.
"Huh? That's it? ”
"Of course, training isn't always better." Li Qingqing began to pack up his things, stuffing the rope ladder and marker cone on the ground into the big bag. "I'll come back tomorrow."
Hulai wanted to nod his head in agreement, but he remembered something: "Tomorrow won't work, I'll be free next week...... I can only come and practice three days a week. ”
Li Qingqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay, anyway, it's impossible to practice every day, your body won't be able to stand it if the intensity is too great." ”
※※※
When Li Qingqing packed up everything and Hu Lai also hid the football, the two of them were about to say goodbye.
Li Qingqing looked at the teenager who was pushing the bicycle and preparing to leave, and suddenly asked, "Why did you do that during the recess exercise?" ”
Hu Lai, who was about to step on the bicycle, paused, he didn't expect Li Qingqing to suddenly ask about it.
He can't tell the other party that he is doing this to complete the task given by the system, right?
I had to prevaricate: "This is my coordination special training ......"
"Coordinated training?" Li Qingqing didn't expect the answer to be this.
"Didn't you say I didn't have good coordination? I checked it out last night and found some way......" Hulai continued to prevaricate.
Li Qingqing's eyes changed when he looked at Hu Lai, as if he was looking at a fool: "Are you stupid?" Believe in Baidu? Then if you have a fever and go to Baidu, you will think that you have a terminal illness! When the time comes, you should go to Baidu to search for which cemetery has better feng shui! ”
After finishing speaking, Li Qingqing felt that he had spoken too much. Think about the scene when Hu Lai played here alone before, and no one helped him, didn't he only have to trust Baidu's unreliable things?
So she softened her tone a little and said to Hulai, "It's okay, I'll teach you later." ”
Hearing her say this, Hulai laughed: "Thank you, coach!" ”
Then he got on his bike and left.
The setting sun hangs over the horizon just ahead, big.
The earth that has been illuminated by the blazing sun for a day is steaming hot, and the refractive index changes due to the expansion of the air, and everything on the horizon seems to shake and may melt and disintegrate at any time.
In the girl's eyes, the boy rode towards the great sunset, his figure twisting on the horizon, becoming less real, as if to merge into the sunset and the whole twilight.
