Looking at Haotian who was entangled and painful, Ming Hao couldn't help but be moved. Eighteen years old, what a beautiful youth! It's time for excitement and energy. However, the big boy in front of him, in the past three years, except for a wonderful appearance in the first year of high school and the sports meeting, he has almost been depressed at other times.

"Haotian, is there something going on at home? INTERVIEWER Aren't you ready for this football match for a few days? Ming Hao didn't understand why Haotian suddenly repented.

"Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of my mother's death. At night, my grandmother secretly went out to burn paper behind my back, and it turned out to be ...... on the side of the road...... Crying faint! My grandma hasn't seen my mother in more than ten years! Last night, she closed the door, but I heard her crying all the time......"

"You haven't slept all night, have you?" Ming Hao asked with concern.

"I don't know when I fell asleep. I...... I had a dream...... "Haotian's eyes were full of fear.

"Dreaming of your mother?"

"Yes! - My mother...... With a knife in his hand, his hands are covered in blood ......! She...... Grab my jersey ......" Haotian recounted the scene in his dream in horror:

Haotian was dazed and saw his mother standing by his bedside, holding a knife in one hand and bleeding from the wrist of the other......

Haotian hurriedly snatched the knife, and his mother shouted, "Give me the jersey!" ”

"Mom! Please! I'm graduating soon, so let me play football again, right? Haotian knelt on the ground and begged his mother.

Mom cut her wrist again with a knife: "Say! - You're not going to play football! ”

"I ...... Don't go playing football anymore. Haotian reluctantly agreed.

"Burn the jersey!" Mom commanded again.

Haotian hugged the jersey tightly to his chest: "Mom——! I don't play football anymore! Just keep the clothes for me, right? ”

"Burned! - Did you hear that? The knife in my mother's hand cut into my wrist again.

……

Oh, my God! When will this child emerge from this terrible nightmare? The scars on his mother's arms had long since disappeared with a wisp of green smoke from the cremation. However, it has been imprisoning Haotian! This psychological spell cannot be broken, and Haotian will never be able to live a normal life.

Ming Hao hugged Haotian in his arms like a father and said, "Haotian, do you want to hear me talk about your father?" ”

Haotian raised his face, looked at Ming Hao, and asked, "Do you know my father?" What kind of person is he? - My uncle and my grandmother did not dare to mention him to me. I didn't dare ask. ”

"Speaking of which, your dad and I are still alumni! He is two years higher than me, we are both Chinese language and literature majors, and he is my senior brother. Indeed, Ming Hao and Kong Fanwen are both students of the Chinese Department of Normal University. But they are not familiar with each other.

"What is he? Do you know him? Haotian stared eagerly into Ming Hao's eyes.

"He's about the same height as me. Look-like - a lot like you, and a keen sportsman! Your athletic quality is so good, probably because you inherited your father's genes, right? He is very talented, and he is a famous talent in our department! In fact, Ming Hao's understanding of Kong Fanwen was also heard by Ming Hao from the teachers at his alma mater after the accident at Haotian's house.

"He also loves sports? Who is more powerful than you? Speaking of his father, Haotian was full of curiosity.

"How so? Haven't been together to compare! ”

Haotian's face calmed down a little, and he said, "My father may not be able to compare to you!" - I can't run away from Zixuan! ”

"Zixuan and I also inherited my father's athletic talent. Remember that sports day, right? When Zixuan and I ran 100 meters, my father was watching from the side, how proud he was! - I believe that your father must also hope that you will be like him, galloping and dominating the arena! ”

"I guess so! But—my mother ......," Haotian's complexion immediately turned cloudy.

Ming Hao pulled Haotian to sit down, and said earnestly: "Haotian, in all fairness, do you think some of your mother's practices are right?" - You know it's not. But, just because it was your mother, it was not easy for her to raise you with hard work, and you were grateful and guilty, so you obeyed your mother. Your mother is dead! It seems that we should no longer criticize her. However, we have to admit one fact - your mother's psychology is sick! ”

"I know that too. But-she ...... it all for me" Thinking of his mother's death, Haotian choked up again.

"Haotian, people can't be resurrected after death! Is it useful to dwell on the things of the past? Your mom doesn't like you to play football and you don't play it, you can do it. However, if your mother wants you to be the top student and take the entrance examination to Peking University and Tsinghua University, will you definitely be able to do it? Ming Hao took the risk to say this taboo sentence, and his eyes kept observing Haotian's reaction.

"I can't do ——!" Haotian lay on the table, crying helplessly.

Ming Hao stroked Haotian's head and said, "Haotian, you only care about what your mother thinks. Why not think about it from your father's point of view? Your dad is a teacher, he should be able to think rationally! - You believe that your mother has a spirit in heaven! I'd like to believe it too! If your parents really have spirits in heaven, they should have met at this time! I think that your father's reason and wisdom will convince your mother that they must want you to live a happy, carefree life in heaven! - because they are your parents! What parent doesn't want their son to do well? ”

Even Minghao himself didn't know how to say such nonsense! But he believes that as long as Haotian crosses this hurdle in his heart, warms up his blood that should be boiling, and makes him full of enthusiasm, in the future, in the new environment, he will definitely get better! Because the power of youth is unstoppable!

Wu Haotian was silent for a long time. Ming Hao looked over the court and saw that only the students of Class 7 were practicing passing. The students of Class 8, both boys and girls, sat quietly in the stands, and many of them had their eyes fixed on this side of the school building.

"Teacher, can I ask you something?" Haotian said.

"Do you still need to be polite with the teacher? What's up? - Say! ”

"Since you know my father, can you help me find his family? If I could find out where he was buried, I would like to have my parents buried together......"

Ming Hao never expected Haotian to make such a request!

"I'm ......, after the college entrance examination, right? All right? "Minghao can't do it if he doesn't agree! However, this is not an easy thing to do!

"Thank you, teacher!" Haotian stood up, stood up, and bowed deeply to Ming Hao.

Ming Hao pushed Haotian to the window: "Haotian, look at the stadium!" - If you don't go, everyone will lose their energy! ”

"I'm the one who failed everyone! - I'll change my clothes and go down right away! ”

"Shall I wait for you in a moment?"

"No, you don't! You go down first! - Otherwise, I feel like I'm being escorted! A smile appeared on Haotian's face.

Minghao's heart is happy!

……

When Wu Haotian appeared on the field wearing the No. 9 jersey, driven by Class 8, students from other classes also applauded and cheered, and Haotian shyly bowed to everyone to thank him.

Lu Jiayi and Dong Zixuan looked at each other and smiled. And Chen Jiabao next to him said unhappily: "What about my knee pads? ”

Zixuan asked, "What knee pads?" I have it myself. Who took your knee pads? ”

"Stingy! Can't I compensate you in the future? Settle the accounts here! Jiayi rolled her eyes at Jiabao.

"I forgot about the knee pads that promised me! Look at your feet, couple shoes are on! - I'll tell my grandmother when I get home today! Jiabao whispered a threat.

Jiayi said: "I'll buy you a mask in a while and gag your mouth!" ”

Jiabao said: "For Haotian's sake, I don't care about you!" ”

Indeed, seeing Haotian resurrected with full blood, everyone's hearts were very happy. Of course, I can't forget the credit of Jiayi and Zixuan.

……

In the first half of the game, Class 8 led 2:0.

During the intermission, Du Tao drank a few sips of water and said, "I'll explain Hao, you're almost done!" This Wu Haotian is also alive! - Look at him on the field, it's like flying all over the field! Why can't we approach the college entrance examination and make our class students discouraged, right? ”

Ming Hao said: "Don't worry! Isn't the whistle in our hands? - Do you want students to release water? ”

The second half began.

Lu Jiayi said to the eighth class students in the stands: "We are going to take the college entrance examination, and the same is true for the seventh class." Let's cheer and pay attention to proportion! Try not to add to the crowd! Remember, everybody! ”

"Okay! As long as we win, whatever! Han Mengmeng said.

……

Dabian on the bench gloated and said to Han Shuo: "Look at Zixuan, you are unemployed on the field!" Why don't we sit here and watch the game! ”

Indeed, almost all the balls turned in the half of Class 7, and the two defenders of Class 8 also rushed up, only Dong Zixuan didn't even have a chance to save.

Nearly 80 minutes into the game, Wu Haotian received a pass from Xu Yaofeng and broke into the penalty area.

"Penalty!"

"Penalty!"

The students of Class 8 all stood up!

Wu Haotian put the ball on the penalty spot and beckoned to Dong Zixuan in the backcourt, and Zixuan immediately rushed over.

The opponent's goalkeeper is the sports committee of Class 7, who once grabbed the basketball court and compared shooting with Ming Hao. If it weren't for his good skills, the first half of today's game might have been 4:0. At this time, the two sports committees and the two goalkeepers faced each other.

Today is Sunday, and students have a holiday in the afternoon. However, there are still many students who come to the school for self-study. Usually, there are few sports activities in schools, and it is rare to have a competition, so there are a lot of spectators who watch the excitement.

Penalty kicks are undoubtedly the most eye-catching in football!

The goalkeeper waved his arms in front of the goal and jumped small steps, trying to interfere with Zixuan. And Zi Xuan took a few steps back, stood still, and looked directly into the other party's eyes. Both players held their breath and the crowd fell silent.

I saw Dong Zixuan running a boost, and then picked up the ...... of his right foot sharply, and the opponent's goalkeeper pounced on the upper left according to the direction of Zixuan's foot......

However, the ball rolled into the goal against the ground. It turned out that Zixuan's powerful volley was just a feint, and when his foot approached the football, he just made a steady push to the middle of the goal, and the ball fell into the net.

3:0

Except for Class 7, there was a cheer on and off the field! Lu Jiayi looked at the lonely students of Class 7 and immediately instructed the students in this class to calm down. But where can this excitement be controlled? Sun Xiaoha and Xiaoxiaoya imitated the appearance of Dong Zixuan and Wu Haotian on the field, hitting each other with their bodies to celebrate the victory.

"That's pretty much it! People are willing to accompany us, and we can't make people disgraced, right? Ming Hao reminded Dong Zixuan.

Dong Zixuan did not immediately return to the goal area, but stayed on the field. The goalkeeper of the seventh class kicked the ball out with a big foot, and the striker of the seventh class was already waiting there, and took advantage of the untimely defense of the eighth class to play a counterattack. Wu Haotian quickly caught up and tried to shovel the ball out of bounds, but when he saw a gesture from Dong Zixuan, he immediately understood - the college entrance examination is coming, don't block people! He slipped and fell to the ground, and the seven-class striker single-handedly shot into the empty net.

At this time, Principal Hu's voice suddenly came from the radio: "Attention the classes on the stadium!" Please stop the contest immediately! Please stop the contest immediately! You must return to your class right away! Homeroom teachers of both classes, please come to the principal's office immediately! "There are five minutes left in the game.

"Principal Hu is very cooperative!" Du Tao said to Ming Hao.

Ming Hao said: "Yes! If he doesn't make a gesture, the other classes will also come to the farewell game, he is really crazy! ”

"Teacher ——!"

When Ming Hao saw that it was Wu Haotian, he smiled and said, "Our little whirlwind is coming!" ”

Haotian smiled embarrassedly.

"Looking for me?"

"Hmmm! Teacher, I want to ask you one more thing! Haotian said.

Yes? - Anything else? - I don't know what to do about the burial of his parents! What else?
