Chapter 47: Time is Running Out
Hulay lay on the turf on all fours, his chest rising and falling violently.
Not far away, Li Ziqiang's voice sounded: "Okay, have you seen enough of the play?" Give me all training! ”
Mao Xiao's face full of apology appeared in his vision: "I'm sorry, Hu Lai......"
He felt a hand tap on his body, perhaps on the shoulder, perhaps on the arm.
Then he saw Meng Xi poke his head out and look at him, didn't say anything, and ran away.
The sound of footsteps grew from near to far, and finally disappeared.
The whistle sounded in the distance.
There were also other sounds, from the stands, from the sidelines, mixed together, not really heard, and all became "buzzing" in Hulai's ears.
The whole world seemed to be buzzing in his ears.
After being knocked to the ground again and again, his brain is still a little dizzy, accompanied by tinnitus, and his reaction is not very sensitive.
He didn't know how long he had been lying on the ground, but he hadn't done his basic training today, so he struggled to get up from the ground again.
Training has already started on the other half of the court.
He staggered to his own training ground, a wall in front of the stadium.
Li Zhiqun laughed happily when he saw Hu Lai's embarrassed appearance.
When you flaunted your might in front of Lao Tzu, did you ever think that you would be so miserable after joining the school team?
Li Zhiqun smiled happily, completely unaware that Song Jiajia in the distance was staring at him with murderous eyes.
Li Qingqing didn't care about Li Zhiqun, her eyes all fell on Hu Lai.
As she watched, the boy came to his training area with the soccer ball in his arms, put it down, and kicked it against the opposite wall.
But because of the loss of strength, his kick was broken, and the ball flew crookedly to the other side, and it did not bounce back.
Hulai had no choice but to stagger over to pick up the football, then staggered his feet to dribble and bring it back.
In the process, he did not forget to do basic training in dribbling.

As soon as Hu Lai got home, he startled his mother Xie Lan: "What's going on on your face?" ”
The left side of Hulai's face was slightly swollen, but this was not the most noticeable, and the more conspicuous was a red abrasion on the left side of his face.
That's what made his mom exclaim.
"I fell on my bike." Hulay explained.
"Luckily, your dad went to work......," Xie Lan complained.
"Tsk, Mom, I really fell on a bike! Believe it or not! With that, Hulai lifted up his clothes and showed his mother the same abrasions on his ribs. There's still one in the palm of your hand. Hulai spread out his palm again, revealing the red abrasions inside.
Seeing these scars on his son's body, Xie Lan frowned painfully: "I'll go get you medicine." ”
"No need Mom, it's all scabbed." Hulay showed it to his mother.
"Then you should also rub the medicine, and when the scab is formed, pick the scab and apply the medicine again, so that the bacteria will not be stuffed inside." Xie Lan said very seriously.
Hu Lai was taken aback: "Mom, are you serious?!" ”
In the end, Xie Lan still gave Hulai medicine, of course, without picking the scabbed wound.
At the dinner table, looking at his son who was gobbling up, Xie Lan smiled.
During this time, my son's food consumption has grown, which should have something to do with him playing football.
This is very good, Xie Lan has always been worried that Hu Lai is too short and it will be difficult to find a daughter-in-law in the future.
In fact, Hu Lai's father is not short, he is 1.8 meters tall, but Xie Lan herself is short, only 1.5 meters, and she has always been worried that she will drag down the child, causing him to grow tall.
If playing football can make children grow taller, that's a good thing......
"Eat more and add it when you're done." Looking at his child with a loving look, Xie Lan said.
"Uh-huh." Hulai nodded as he continued to dig rice into his mouth.
※※※
"Qingqing, Qingqing?"
"Huh?" Li Qingqing came back to his senses and looked at his father, who was staring at him.
"What's wrong with you? I just told you that you didn't agree. Li Ziqiang asked.
"Ah, nothing, I'm thinking about a question."
"Is it hard?"
"Hmm...... It's hard, it's very hard. Li Qingqing frowned and thought for a second, then nodded. It's not just difficult, it's simply incomprehensible, anyway, she can't figure out how Hu Lai, who has only been practicing for a month, can break the close defense of the two main central defenders.
"If you can't think of it, don't think about it, don't force yourself too much." Li Ziqiang persuaded.
"Uh-huh." The daughter lowered her head and took a bite of food into her mouth.
Li Ziqiang couldn't help but feel a little tightness in his chest when he looked at his daughter's absent-minded appearance.
He can only fantasize about how he will clean up this bastard boy in the next year when Hulai does not pass the special training......
Only in this way can he feel a little comforted.
※※※
After taking a shower, Hu Lai, who had already gone to bed, knelt on the bed, closed his eyes and entered the system, and then looked at the marquee turntable in front of him.
In today's special training, except for the first time he touched the ball and shot the ball towards the goal, he couldn't even touch the ball at other times, just repeatedly fell, got up, fell again, and got up again.
He felt like a punching bag, being beaten repeatedly.
If this continues, there is no hope of completing the special training.
In fact, if there is no such thing, just let him practice the foundation for a year, although Hu Lai will inevitably want to play, but there will be no great resistance to such an arrangement, after this month of training, he has already understood that he really needs to lay a solid foundation.
But now the two tasks are in his consciousness system, and those rewards are like half-hidden goddesses, seducing him and making him feel hot inside.
There is also that limited-time mission, the countdown does not stop for a second, and it has jumped to 24:17:41:08, which is like a reminder, reminding him that time is like flowing water, rushing to the sea and never returning.
Thinking of this, Hu Lai looked at the four lottery tickets he had in hand again, and he took out two thousand of the three thousand points that had been rewarded for completing the task before, and exchanged them for four lottery tickets.
Give it a go, and turn your bike into a motorcycle.
If you draw some artifact out and turn the tables against the wind, wouldn't it be cool to die?
He decisively used up the first raffle ticket.
"You have obtained the [Stamina Elixir]×1."
"Damn!"
Hu Lai grabbed the quilt, turned over and lay down on the bed, no longer thinking about relying on the plug-in against the wind.
※※※
The next day's training, the special training was put to the last link, so that everyone's normal training would not be delayed - yesterday, because of Hu Lai's special training, others watched the show for a long time after the warm-up, and when they started training again, their bodies were cold, and the training effect was not very good.
While the team was training normally, Hulay was also doing his own basic training.
In the last part of the training, it is the special training.
This special training was no different from yesterday, and Hulai was knocked to the ground again and again.
At the beginning, Mao Xiao reached out to pull Hu Lai up for the first time every time, as a way to express his apologies to his friend.
But he didn't do it later, because even if he stretched out his hand, it would be difficult for Hulai to be pulled up, so it was better to leave more time for Hulai to recover.
Head coach Li Ziqiang was still standing outside the penalty area, watching all this coldly.
If Mao Xiao or Yan Yan's performance was a little slack, his loud voice would sound with it, like a whip, and the two people who were pumping would not dare to stop.
So when another day of training was over, Hulai could only lie on the rough artificial turf, panting and looking at the sky.
The chaotic sound of footsteps rang and disappeared in his ears, from near to far, and from far to near.
All kinds of voices and discussions fell into his ears, and eventually they all became "buzzing".
With the last one of the three weekly training sessions left, time was running out for him.
Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground panting, entered the system again with some unwillingness, although he only drew the [Stamina Potion] last night, he still wanted to try again and work harder.
After all, he still has three lottery tickets in hand, and this thing can't be returned after buying it, and it can't be exchanged back for points, so it's useless to keep it in his hand.
I still use it.
With this in mind, Hulay used up a raffle ticket.
A brilliant light flashed, and a card floated silently in his system space.
[World Wave Experience Card]: After use, the user's shot may turn into a world wave within 10 seconds.
Hulai froze.
※※※
"Hey, Hu Lai, don't lie down, be careful of catching a cold...... Mao Xiao squatted beside Hu Lai, calling.
But Hulay didn't give him any response, just stared at the sky in a daze, and if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling, and that he could still hear the sound of breathing from his mouth and nose, it would have made people think that he was dead.
Meng Xi, who was squatting beside Hu Lai with Mao Xiao, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, Hu Lai's eyes did not refocus because of this, and he was still facing the infinite sky, unresponsive to Meng Xi's movements.
Mao Xiao stretched out his hand and pushed Hu Lai: "The training is over, Hu Lai, the coach is gone, it's really ......"
Hulai still didn't react.
"It's not going to be a stupid headbump, is it?" Meng Xi said beside him. "Being knocked to the ground again and again is a possible concussion......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground like a corpse, suddenly sat up from the turf, startling both Mao Xiao and Meng Xi.
Hulai, who sat up, ignored the two people next to him, but got up and walked straight out of the court.
"It's over, it's stupid." Looking at Hu Lai's stumbling back, Meng Xi sighed.
"I didn't mean to, the coach asked me to do this......" Mao Xiao muttered in fear, as if begging Hu Lai to let him go if he became a ghost.
