Chapter 43: A Trip to Liangshan (3)
The shy child in front of him lost the domineering spirit just now, his hands were behind his back, and the two bare feet unconsciously rubbed the dust on the surface of each other's feet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What's your name?" Li Haolong tried his best to make himself look kinder, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Alichi." His Chinese is a bit stiff.
"How old are you?"
“11.”
"Oh......" was a bit of a surprise, and the child, who looked like he was only 8 or 9 years old, might be lacking in nutrition.
"Have you ever studied?"
"I've read it for two years."
"Love to play football?"
Alichi didn't speak, looking into the distance with a little concern, even though it was empty.
"Don't worry, just say it if you like it, there's no one else here." Li Haolong probably knew what he was worried about.
"Hello...... I like it."
"Can you do that kick you just shot at the flagpole again?"
Alichi took a soccer ball handed by Li Haolong, a little hesitant.
"Don't be afraid, uncles and aunts think you're very powerful, and you shoot accurately, and you want to see it again, is it okay?"
Seeing that Li Haolong said so sincerely, Alichi nodded, put the ball on the ground, and was about to kick, Li Haolong grabbed him again and handed him a pair of broken spikes.
"Come, wear this kick, this was meant to be given to you."
Alichi took the sneakers in amazement, perhaps he couldn't understand why these brightly dressed people came to this ravine and sent so many things, this must be the most expensive pair of shoes in his life, his eyes were full of hot joy, although he was reluctant, after repeated struggles, he still put the shoes on his feet, tied the laces very carefully, got up, ran up, swung his legs, and touched the ball...... The ball didn't hit the flagstick as everyone had hoped, and even ...... It didn't look like a ball at all, the ball, only a few meters away, skewed and oblique, rolling alone on the dirt.
What's going on, could it just be a coincidence? Everyone was full of anticipation and suddenly fell to the bottom again, puzzled, Alichi himself was also a little confused, tilted his head and thought for a while, and then sat down, carefully took off the sneakers, and picked up the ball in a slippery way.
"Come on, come again!" Li Haolong smiled and personally put another ball on the table for him.
"Bang" and in the middle, and then swing and again...... So repeatedly, Li Haolong calculated for him, about 7 out of 10 can hit 7 feet, although the flagpole is much thicker than the goalpost, and the distance is only more than 10 meters, but it is still very remarkable, and those who don't hit are only a fraction of a centimeter. Weigel saw that he was upset and came up to try a few shots, but the result was only 40% hit. There are those who shoot tire cores, barrels, and basketball hoops, and Li Haolong, who shoots such a small target and is so accurate, has never seen it, and the key is that the volley also has a good hit. In order to prove that this was not a fluke, Li Haolong tested a few more sets, and the hit rate was very stable, and even one group reached an amazing all.
"How's it going, isn't it?"
"It's amazing, this kid is amazing!"
"Yes, the key is that he is still barefoot, and I can't throw the ball so accurately." Boone couldn't help but interject as well.
"Alichi, do you want to play football?"
Alichi had never seen a foreigner, but now he saw so many at once, and he was still talking and looking at himself with burning eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little scared.
“…… Think...... No, I don't want to. With a snort, he shook his head like a rattle.
"Do you want to or don't want to?" Li Haolong still looked at him with a smile.
"Think...... But Abba is sick, and Grandma has to work and take care of her younger siblings, and I am the older brother, and I have to help her work, otherwise we will starve. Speaking of this, Alichi's eyes finally showed a melancholy that did not match his age.
"I'm sorry, uncle, the shoes are back to you, I can't play football often, you can give them to others, I have to go back to work!" Alichi made a lot of determination to put the sneakers neatly in front of Li Haolong, bowed, pulled his rotten slippers, and picked up the battered ball and ran away.
Li Haolong didn't stop him, turned around and asked Officer Liu.
"Director Liu, do you know this child's family situation?"
"I don't know, I'll ask the village chief, Shama! Shama! ”
Out of the crowd came a red-faced man who was slightly cleaner than the other villagers, but it wasn't much better, with a panicked face.
"Shama, don't be afraid, this distinguished guest wants to ask about the situation at the child's home just now, you can say whatever you know, you don't need to hide it, this guest can help them."
"Yes, yes, Alichi's family can be said to be the most difficult household in the village, his grandparents died two years ago, the family owes a lot of debt, his father in order to repay the debt in the CD construction site, accidentally fell and injured his waist, has been lying in bed for more than half a year, the boss ran away again, the medical expenses have not been settled, the wages that should have been received have not been paid, and now the life of the whole family depends on his aunt, this child is also very sensible, and he also knows how to help the family share. Please save them, this distinguished guest! I'm really going to be unable to live! As he spoke, the village chief named Shama suddenly knelt down, and Li Haolong was startled and quickly helped him up.
"Uncle, what are you doing here, how can I afford you like this."
"I can't help it, it's all from the township, but we are all too poor to give them more help, so I can only beg you well-wishers." This man is a simple mountain man, and he actually knelt down for the sake of his fellow villagers, which completely subverted Li Haolong's previous bad impression of Liangshan men.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter to the end, not only the children, but their whole family, not only their whole family, but also your whole village, we will drive the factory into the mountains, and everyone will be able to live a good life at that time."
"Ah......h
"Ah what, Shama, this distinguished guest is not an ordinary person, the township and county attach great importance to it, you should be blessed, don't thank you quickly."
"Yes, yes!" Sha Ma's head was like pounding garlic, and he was about to kneel again, but fortunately, Li Haolong's eyes were quick and he quickly helped him up.
"Uncle Shama, if you do this again, we won't come."
"Okay, okay, I'm not like this anymore, not like this anymore." Shama looked terrified, afraid that he had messed things up.
"Don't be nervous, as long as you don't ...... It's always like this, we promise that everyone will have a good life, by the way, this Alichi ball is very good, has anyone taught it? ”
"Ahem, this is just a kid's nonsense, is this called kicking football? But to preach, it seems that there is really such a thing, a few years ago there was a young teacher who came to our village, brought a ball, Alichi liked to play with him at that time, and then the teacher only insisted here for a year and couldn't stand it, this is not bad, some teachers ran away after a few months, and gave the ball to Alichi when he left, it was the one he just held, it has been broken like this and refused to lose, the inner tank is broken, he called the village to have a bicycle with tire glue sticky, sewing the skin and kicking, is a good boy, It's just that life is too hard, born in such a family. ”
