When the light music indicating the end of school came from the loudspeakers in every corner of the campus, Hu Lai took out the schoolbag he had packed long ago from the desk, stood up and pushed the stool away, then held up the schoolbag with one hand.
He squeezed out from the gap between Song Jiajia's body and the desk.
He couldn't wait to run away from the back door of the classroom.
By the time Li Qingqing packed up her schoolbag and followed the flow of people out of the classroom, the corridor outside the classroom was already filled with students from all classes. They were all walking towards the stairs with their schoolbags on their backs, forming a crowd.
In this crowd, she did not see Hu Lai.
※※※
Hu Lai was so impatient because he had secretly drank the [Marrow Cleansing Potion] as a mission reward before - things in the system could appear directly in his hands with just a thought, but in order to avoid scaring others and causing his own
It was unclear, so Hu Lai took the opportunity of going to the toilet to take out the bottle of medicine from the cubicle, and then drank it with the pungent smell unique to the toilet.
The potion looks colorless and smells tasteless, just like a bottle of ordinary purified water, and it tastes the same.
After drinking, Hu Lai wanted to see if his physical fitness had improved, but he discovered that there was no data - his physical attributes did not appear in front of him in the form of numbers.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to know his physical condition clearly through numbers.
Since he couldn't see the property panel, Hu Lai 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 when school was over.
He is going to his secret base to test whether his coordination has improved.
※※※
When Hu Lai picked up the football he had hidden yesterday from the grass, he could not suppress his heartbeat from accelerating.
He was both looking forward to it and nervous, feeling uneasy inside.
He was worried that his body would not change after drinking the bottle of potion. He was worried that the effect of the potion would be very, very slight. He was even worried that everything he experienced today was just a dream...
Then his hands holding the football parted slightly, and the football fell from the air. At the same time, he raised his right foot to meet the football.
The football landed on the instep of his right foot and bounced upwards. Then Hu Lai stepped on the ground with his right foot and raised his left foot to meet the falling football.
Hu Lai had never been able to hit the ball well before, and now he thought of using this method to test his coordination.
When his left foot came into contact with the football, he failed to control the force and the football bounced out suddenly.
"Depend on!"
Seeing the football falling to other places, Hu Lai cursed, then chased after it, picked up the football again, and continued to try to hit the ball.
This time he persisted for three rounds and failed again.
However, Hu Lai did not give up and continued to try.
Sometimes he can persist a few more times, and sometimes he fails the first time.
After trying again and again, Hu Lai gradually discovered that his body seemed to have undergone some changes and was a little different from before.
In the past, his body was like a rusty machine, creaking and not very flexible.
Now, every joint in his body seems to be lubricated. As he tries again and again, the solidified lubricant is melted away, wrapping the joints, allowing the body to run smoothly...
Although it's not particularly coordinated yet, it's definitely better than before.
At first Hu Lai thought it was an illusion, but as he kept repeating the ball, the feeling became clearer and clearer, and Hu Lai was finally sure that the bottle of potion rewarded by the system was really effective!
After confirming this, Hu Lai had a bold idea in his mind - he wanted to challenge a more difficult ball!
So he bumped the football up again, and then when the football was falling, he raised his left foot high, stepped over the football, and at the same time raised his right foot to stop the ball.
He has seen professional players perform this ball-bumping action with ease and ease.
But when it was his turn to do it himself, the situation was completely different.
When he raised his left foot to go around the football and then raised his right foot to bump the ball, he lost his balance and fell backwards to sit on the ground.
"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.
"How did you come?"
"Can't I come?"
"This is my secret training base..."
"this is my house."
Hearing what Li Qingqing said, Hu Laiyi got up from the ground and asked, "Your home?"
"Yes, my home." Li Qingqing nodded towards the red brick wall on the high platform on the left.
Hu Lai looked over and realized that the window above was half open. The curtains had been hung inside the window at some point. When the wind blew into the window, the light green curtains swayed gently with the wind.
"No...I've been playing here for a month and I haven't seen anyone living there..." Hu Lai pointed around and said, except for that window, the windows on the other two walls were closed and no one lived there.
signs.
"I just moved here." Li Qingqing said.
Hu Lai remembered Li Qingqing's identity as a transfer student and was speechless.
Then he felt heartbroken - the secret base that originally belonged to him alone was now occupied by people, which meant that he might not be able to continue playing football here...
Hu Lai was just thinking about where to find such a perfect secret base to continue special training when he heard a muffled sound.
Bang!
Li Qingqing threw something with her hands behind her back, and it landed between Hu Lai and herself.
It was a black cross-body sports bag.
"What is this?" Hu Lai looked down at the bag.
The zipper of the satchel was not closed, and a rope-like thing was exposed.
"Your coordination is indeed very poor, but coordination can also be improved through training." Li Qingqing said while squatting down to take something out of the bag.
She took out the rope-like thing, and Hu Lai discovered that it was a rope ladder.
Then Li Qingqing took out the logo cone, logo disc, and logo rings of different colors from the bag.
"Starting from today, I will train your coordination." After taking out everything, Li Qingqing stood 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 steps, walked to about five meters from the starting line, laid out the rope ladder, and continued walking along the rope ladder. Ten meters away from the rope ladder, a yellow sign cone was placed.
After doing this, Li Qingqing returned to the original red sign disc. She stood between the two sign discs and said to Hu Lai: "This is the starting line. You need to run from this starting line to the agility ladder, and then jump in with one foot.
In each grid, jump the agility ladder, sprint towards the yellow sign cone, make a circle counterclockwise and then run back to the starting line."
After saying that, she rushed out. When she ran to the agility ladder, she jumped into the grid with one foot. She jumped the agility ladder one grid at a time, then accelerated towards the yellow cone barrel, circled around and then slowed down.
Jogging back. The whole movement was very smooth and smooth.
"Come here." After running back, Li Qingqing said to Hu Lai.
"Is it that simple?" Hu Lai saw that Li Qingqing was doing it very easily. He was a little skeptical about how such a simple training could improve his coordination.
"You'll know after you come here once." Li Qingqing didn't explain.
"Come on." Hu Lai stood on the starting line, and then he saw Li Qingqing take out a whistle from his pocket and stuff it into his mouth.
"Beep——!"
After the whistle sounded, he rushed out.
He ran across the five-meter distance in two steps, and then came to the rope ladder and wanted to jump on one foot. Only then did Hu Lai realize that the actual situation was different from what he had imagined...
When others rushed to the rope ladder and wanted to switch positions, the inertia of his body prevented him from stopping the car, and he jumped directly to the second step...
The whistle sounded.
"Wrong, jump one frame at a time, don't skip it." Li Qingqing said sternly after blowing the whistle. "Do it again!"
The second time Hu Lai slowed down when rushing out, and when he reached the rope ladder, he successfully jumped into the first grid.
"ha!"
He laughed.
But in the second, third, and fourth squares, with each jump of one foot, the inertia accumulated more and more. Finally, at the fifth square, the kinetic energy of the previous four squares allowed him to
Unable to maintain balance, he went straight out of the rope ladder range.
Li Qingqing's whistle sounded again.
"Come again!"
The third time Hu Lai learned the lesson, he stood firm before jumping to the next frame. This way there was no problem of inertia, but Li Qingqing asked him to return to the starting point and start over: "Six-year-old
Children are faster than you!"
the fourth time.
"Stay on one foot and don't let the other foot touch the ground!"
"Keep your balance and don't let your upper body dangle!"
"Go counterclockwise, you're running backwards!"
…
After ten sets of dancing in a row, Hu Lai was already out of breath - he originally thought that the training was very simple, but he didn't expect it to be so tiring.
"Let's rest for half a minute." Li Qingqing grabbed the electronic timepiece hanging on his chest and took a look, "Then switch to jumping on both feet."
Hu Lai thought that jumping with two feet was easier than jumping with one foot, because jumping with one foot also requires a balance issue. But when he really started to jump with two feet, he discovered that it was actually the same as jumping with one foot - each grid of the rope ladder
No matter how big it is, if you don't control your speed and strength well, you can easily lose your balance and rhythm, leading to failure.
After ten more sets of double-footed jumps, Li Qingqing asked Hu Lai to jump with both feet on the first four squares of the rope ladder, and switch to one-legged jumping on the last four squares.
Do this for ten groups, rest for one minute, then return to the initial training subject of jumping on one leg, do another ten groups...and repeat in this cycle.
※※※
Hu Lai worked very seriously, and Li Qingqing was watching from the side. He blew the whistle less and less to suspend training and issued reminders.
In fact, the training is very boring and the intensity is not low, because when Li Qingqing used to train with this training method, she was not the only one, but also other companions. They were in groups of ten, and after each person completed it once, they would be placed in the queue.
You are the last one, and then you wait for your teammates in front to finish their work before it is your turn.
So the rest time should never be more than half a minute.
Hu Lai has no other teammates, so he is alone. After one group of exercises, he will move on to the next group. He can only rest for one minute after completing ten groups.
But he didn't complain about being tired or miserable.
He was like a man who was about to drown, grabbing the last straw and struggling desperately. It didn't matter whether this straw could help him escape from 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. This period is called the golden age for coordination training.
In other words, even if she starts to train Hu Lai on coordination now, the final effect may not be good.
It's possible that Hu Lai practiced hard for a month but still couldn't be selected for the school team.
But Hu Lai didn't know this. You can guess it by looking at his enthusiasm in training. He seemed to really see hope from 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, Hu Lai found that the feeling of lubricating oil melting inside his body reappeared.
He knew that it was the effect of the [Marrow Cleansing Potion]. Without it, he might not have noticed the changes in his body so quickly.
He enjoyed this feeling so much that when Li Qingqing told him that today's training was over, he was still a little unfinished.
"Ah? Is this the end?"
"Of course, the longer the training, the better." Li Qingqing began to pack things, stuffing the rope ladder and sign cones on the ground into the big bag. "Come back tomorrow."
Hu Lai wanted to nod and agree, but he remembered one thing: "I can't do it tomorrow. I won't be free until next week... I only have three days a week to practice."
Li Qingqing thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's okay, anyway, it's impossible to practice every day. If the intensity is too high, your body won't be able to bear it."
※※※
After Li Qingqing packed everything and Hu Lai hid the football, the two of them were about to say goodbye.
Li Qingqing looked at the boy who was getting on his bicycle and was about to leave, and suddenly asked: "Why did you do that during recess?"
Hu Lai, who was about to get on the bicycle, paused for a moment. He did not expect that Li Qingqing would suddenly ask about this matter.
He can't tell the other party that he is doing this to complete the task given by the system, right?
I had to excuse myself: "This is my special coordination training..."
"Special coordination training?" Li Qingqing didn't expect the answer to be this.
"Didn't you say that my coordination is not good? I searched on Baidu last night and found some methods..." Hu Lai continued to prevaricate.
Li Qingqing's eyes changed when she looked at Hu Lai, as if looking at a fool: "Are you stupid? You actually believe Baidu? Then if you have a fever and go to Baidu, you might think you have a terminal illness! Then you will
It’s time to go to Baidu and search which cemetery has better feng shui!”
After finishing speaking, Li Qingqing felt that he had spoken too harshly. Think about the time when Hu Lai played here alone, with no one to help him. He could not only believe in unreliable things like Baidu.
?
So she softened her tone and said to Hu Lai: "It's okay, I'll teach you later."
Hu Lai laughed when he heard what she said: "Thank you, coach!"
Then he got on his bicycle and left.
The setting sun is just ahead, hanging on the horizon, very big.
The earth, which has been illuminated by the blazing sun for a day, is steaming with heat. Because the thermal expansion of the air causes a change in refractive index, all the scenery on the horizon seems to be shaking and may melt and disintegrate at any time.
In the girl's eyes, the boy just rode towards the huge sunset. His figure was distorted on the horizon, becoming unreal, as if he wanted to blend into the sunset and the entire dusk.
