Chapter 3 The world is a little different

When the light music sounded, the classroom resounded with cheers: "It's time for school!" ”

Some people stretched out their arms in their seats, and some people couldn't wait to grab their schoolbags and run to the door of the classroom. Others are still sitting in their seats, writing as if they don't want to finish their studies.

Hulai sat in his seat and did not move.

However, the fat man Song next to him had already pulled out his schoolbag and held it in his arms. When he got up, he glanced strangely at Hulai next to him, and saw that he was still there in a daze.

His table mate had been in such a daze for a whole self-study class.

Or rather, his table mates have been haunted all day.

During class, I was called up by the teacher to answer the question because I was distracted, but of course I couldn't answer it, so under the gaze of the whole class, I stood on the edge of the podium and became the object of everyone's jokes again......

However, Song Fatzi found that even if he was called to stand on the edge of the podium, Hu Lai didn't seem to take this punishment to heart at all, and still looked like he was lost and depressed, and he didn't care about the teasing eyes of others.

So he sat down again, having already gotten up, and there seemed to be a fierce struggle going on in his heart—a struggle that must have been fierce as you could tell from the ever-changing expressions on his face.

※※※

Hulay spent a day secretly observing, and then discovered a fact that he had to admit - that is, this world was probably not the one he was familiar with, or a little different from the world he was familiar with......

History is the same, geography is the same, politics is the same...... Everything is the same, except football.

For example, the head of state of the United Kingdom is still the Queen's ******, and the capital of the United Kingdom is still London, but the big clubs in London are not called Arsenal or Chelsea, and it is not just as simple as changing the name.

At first, Hulay took what he knew about the world of football, but found that he couldn't. It's not as simple as Chelsea and Arsenal changing their names, it's completely different – the history of the club, the strength of the club, the heritage of the club, the current situation of the club...... Everything is different.

The clubs are different, and the players are naturally different.

That's why Luo Kai and Song Fatzi don't know who Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are at all, because in this world, there really are no two people, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Like the club, it's not as simple as changing the name, you look for Messi's life history and technical characteristics, and you can't find it at all - there is no one in this world who is like Messi as Hulay knows.

At first, Hulai thought that the "Caesar" in Rokai's mouth was Cristiano Ronaldo, but after knocking on the side to find someone to inquire about Caesar's situation, Hulai found that he was not the "Ronaldo" either.

Caesar's habit of erecting a collar is similar to the former Manchester United legend Eric Cantona that Hulay knows, but Caesar is not Cantona's name change, and there is no resemblance between the two other than this habit of vertical collar.

So there is no Messi in this world, no Cristiano Ronaldo, no Maradona, no Pele...... This made Hulai feel strange.

But there are some aspects that Hulai is very familiar with, such as the World Cup, which is still called the World Cup, which is the world's top national team football event, with great influence, and can be equal to the multi-sport Olympic Games in the form of a single sports event; The institution that manages global football affairs is still called FIFA, and the English abbreviation is also FIFA; In addition, the strength of Chinese football in this world is still very weak......

Because of this familiar and unfamiliar feeling, Hu Lai has always felt very torn, there is a feeling of unreality, I don't know if he is dreaming and has not woken up, during this period he secretly pinched himself several times, some light and some heavy. But no matter how much pain it was, he didn't wake up from the pain, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was actually still lying on the bed, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back......

Then he fell into another kind of confusion - did he cross by himself, or did the clubs and players cross over?

If it's the latter, will the players be okay with it? Not all crazy, huh?

If it's the former, are you crazy?

After a long and fierce struggle, Song Fatzi seemed to have finally made up his mind, took out ten yuan from the pocket of his school uniform, and then slapped it on the desk in front of Hu Lai.

Hu Lai looked down at the ten dollars and didn't say a word, he hadn't turned his mind yet, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"Isn't it just fifty dollars? As for it? You've lost your soul all day...... Take it, count it as a brother to sponsor you! ”

Hu Lai turned his head and glanced at Song Fatzi: "Really? ”

"You think I'm you, and I only send a dollar for a red envelope......"

Before Song Fatzi finished speaking, he saw Hu Lai holding ten yuan in his hand and putting it in his pocket.

Then he reached out and patted Song Fatzi's shoulder, and said with a serious expression: "Song Jiajia, I knew that you were my true friend, although you betrayed me in the morning, I have forgiven you!" ”

Hu Lai, who has only a name until now, was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What? Do you remember what happened in the morning? Why are you so careful! You give me back the money, I'm blind to pity you! ”

He reached out to grab Hulai, but before he could catch him, Hulai jumped up from his seat with his schoolbag and rushed to the classroom door in a puff of smoke.

How could Song Jiajia, who was fat and ball, catch up with Hu Lai, who was as thin as a monkey?

He lay on the table with his head in his hands and wailed, "My pocket money! Bastard Hulai! I pity you, I'm a dog! ”

Hulay was struggling to peddle his bicycle, which was so broken that no one stole it on the side of the road, weaving through the traffic.

The wind blew in his face and poured in through his open school uniform, which bulged back as if it were full of sails.

His bag was placed in a basket at the front of the car, and the strap of the bag hung from the basket and fluttered backwards when it was touched by the wheel, which made people worry that the strap would be stirred into the wheel.

But Hulai didn't care, he braked hard at a hidden intersection ahead, almost threw himself out, and then turned into the alley on the right.

It is a small alley with high walls on both sides, which is very narrow and can only be passed by people, not traffic. After riding more than ten meters down this alley, Hulai's eyes suddenly brightened.

A square with a small area appeared in front of him.

It is said to be a square, but it is actually a wasteland. A corner of the wasteland is littered with discarded gym equipment – the kind of free construction equipment from a community fitness plaza that is now stacked on top of each other and covered in rust.

Weeds scrambled to grow out of every crevice, almost drowning the broken metal.

At the edge of the clearing, there is also a dense circle of weeds, and only the middle circle can see the dirty ground.

In addition to the entrance, there are several old-style brick houses on the high platform, the blue-gray brick walls have exposed red bricks in some places, and the tiled eaves are not very neat, so it can be seen that these houses are some years old.

Hulay knew that none of the houses were inhabited, for he had been playing here for a month, and the soccer ball was hitting the walls with a thumping sound, but no one had poked their heads out of the closed windows to yell at him.

This place was discovered by accident by Hulai a month ago, and at the time of its discovery, almost the entire clearing was covered with weeds, and there was no place to stay.

It took him half an hour after school twice to pull out some of the weeds in the open space and clear a field where he could play football.

This was the place where he conducted secret training.

Three days a week, his father goes to work late, goes to work early in the afternoon, and doesn't come home until the second half of the night, even if he comes home half an hour late, he won't worry about his father finding out that he is playing football. And his mother, although she knew what he was doing, didn't care about him.

So he came here for special training, and then fantasized that one day he could change the old impression of his classmates and surprise them all on the football field.

When he thought that day would really come, he proudly accepted the adoring eyes of his classmates, shocked people like Li Zhiqun so much that he couldn't speak, and let Luo Kai also bow down to him, he felt so happy that he couldn't do it.

When the time comes, he will lightly say the classic line to them: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth!" ”

Hulai threw his bicycle into the weeds next to him and ran to his destination - because his father did not allow anything related to football to appear in the house, he could not bring back the football he secretly bought with his pocket money, so he could only hide the football in the grass after each special training session.

Because of the fear of being stolen, Hulai hides the football in a different place every time.

Now he's heading straight for the place where he hid the football last time.

He wanted to confirm one thing—whether the world was foreign or familiar to him.

Just like whether the spinning top in the movie "Inception" will spin and stop, or will it spin and stop, will the football he hid last time still appear in the original place?

Hulai ran to a dense overlock of weeds on the right side of the clearing.

From the outside, there is no difference from the surrounding grass.

He ran up and picked up the grass on both sides, and as if he had found a hidden bird's nest in the grass, a round thing lay quietly in the grass.

That's exactly what he hid after his last training.
