God of Sprint

Chapter 6 Looking back, never forgetting the original intention

These months have been particularly difficult.

The course is completed within one month of the start of the semester. The remaining months are for review, and then after the exam, check for omissions and deficiencies in the exam questions. The teacher will give separate lessons based on the exam results. There will be separate exams for each subject once a week, and a comprehensive monthly exam once a month.

Students also entered a period of crazy racing. Sometimes there were still students studying by candlelight after midnight.

Zhao Yun basically studied until eleven o'clock because he was too exhausted. He trained during the day and after class at night, which caused him to not be able to keep up with the pace. Now all the 10kg sandbags were tied to his legs.

Zhao Yun also tried to study until 12 o'clock at night, but he was groggy the next day and his training condition was not good. The best time is 11 o'clock. So Zhao Yun did not study overtime.

But Zhao Yun's scores in these two monthly exams were still good. In April, he scored 4 points. In May, he scored 510 points. With this score, it would be no problem for him to get into No. 5 Middle School. But Zhao Yun wanted to do better. Because he didn't want to just be an athlete in the future. He had greater ideals and ambitions.

There are only a few days until May 16th. I have to go to the city on the 16th and take the physical examination at No. 17 Middle School on the 17th. Before leaving, Principal Zhang Tieshan asked Zhao Yun to come to the office. Zhao Yun was muttering in his heart as he walked. What does old Zhang want me to do? I didn't make any mistakes.

Zhao Yun went to the principal's office, knocked on the door gently and shouted, "Report."

I heard someone shouting "Come in" from inside.

Zhao Yun then opened the door and went in. When he went in, he saw Lao Lu Lu Yongshan was also sitting inside.

When the principal saw Zhao Yun coming in, he smiled and said to Zhao Yun first: "Come on, sit down, sit down, let's chat."

Zhao Yun sat down awkwardly. He didn't know where to put his hands. Then he looked up and saw Lao Lu smiling and nodding at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun felt relieved and no longer so nervous.

"Don't be nervous, we're just chatting. You're going to take an exam at No. 17 Middle School in a couple of days. Have you made any progress in running recently?" Zhang Tieshan said.

"Don't worry, Principal! It will be no problem. I will definitely be able to pass the exam."

"Yes, you are ambitious! Yes, don't be afraid. I see that you still insist on exercising every night, so I know that you have a tenacious heart. That's why I asked you to come here."

Zhao Yun was a little confused after hearing this.

Then Zhang Tieshan said, "There are many good students. Our school has also produced many good students over the years. But our environment is still so bad. Good students go out to change themselves and do not come back to serve their hometown. In fact, it is a bit selfish to say this. Serving the country is also serving the country. But I am a little unwilling. Do you know Mr. Northwest Zhang?"

"I don't know!" Zhao Yun replied.

"The area where she lived was even poorer, and girls were basically not allowed to go to school. She worked hard to get students from that area to go to school, and her health deteriorated day by day, so she wanted to find a way out for the children in that area. Their school motto is

I was born to be a mountain, not a stream,

I want to look down at the valley of mediocrity from the top of the mountains,

I was born to be a man, not an idiot,

I stand on the shoulders of great men and look down upon the humble cowards."

After saying this, Zhang Tieshan paused, looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "Can you still recite our school motto?"

"read more, walk more.

With a vast country in mind, you will not be afraid of the difficulties on the road.

Looking back, never forgetting our original aspirations. "Every Monday before the flag-raising ceremony, everyone would read it aloud. Zhao Yun still knew this by heart.

"Do you know the difference between the two school mottos?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"Xiao Lu, tell me about it."

Old Lu pondered for a moment and said, "The situation is different. The environment is different, and the contradictions to be resolved are also different."

"Ha! Ha! Ha! That's right. Because Mr. Zhang is anxious to solve the students' personal future, because if there is no future, parents will not let their children study. So she can only take this step first. To put it bluntly, she focuses on personal achievement.

Our school motto is "We must study hard because we are in a backward area, so we have to read thousands of books." Farmers' children work hard all their lives, so they have to travel thousands of miles. Although we are in a backward area, we must have the vast mountains and rivers and the motherland in our hearts, and we should not be afraid of any difficulties in the future. The last sentence is "Look back and look forward, and don't forget your original intention", which means to look back and think about where you live within your ability, don't forget this land, and change it if you can."

Zhang Tieshan looked at Zhao Yun and continued.

"Don't worry about understanding this now, just remember it. When you finish college and have your own career, just think about what I said."

"Okay, Principal! I will remember it." Zhao Yun said affirmatively.

"I wrote a piece of calligraphy for you. My handwriting is not very good, but I hope you can look at it when you encounter difficulties in the future." As he said this, he handed the written calligraphy to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun stood up and took it, then opened it and saw what was written on it.

The road is long and difficult, but if you follow it upstream, you will reach your destination.

Keep going and persevere, and the future will be promising.

"Thank you, Principal!"

"Okay, go back to class and remember this conversation."

"Okay, Principal. Goodbye, Principal!"

After seeing the principal nod, he turned around and walked away. Zhao Yun returned to the classroom and began to struggle again.

Three days later, on May 16, Zhao Yun took a bus to the city. It took him four hours to get to the city. When he got out of the station, he saw a man holding a sign that said No. 17 Middle School.

Zhao Yun went over to the receptionist and said, "Hello, teacher! I am Zhao Yun from Tiancang Middle School in Yizhou County. I am here to take the exam."

The receptionist took a look and said, "You go and wait on the bus to No. 17 Middle School first. Yes, that bus is for No. 17 Middle School. When other students arrive, we'll set off." The receptionist pursed his lips and pointed to a bus with No. 17 Middle School written on the body not far away.

Zhao Yun said: "Okay, thank you teacher."

Then I went to the back of the bus and found a seat near the window and sat down. Then I looked around and saw that there were already 15 or 16 people on the bus. A movie was playing on the roof of the bus, and the students were all watching eagerly.

Halfway through the movie, a tall girl touched Zhao Yun, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Is this occupied?"

Zhao Yun turned his head from the window and was stunned when he saw the girl. First of all, the girl was too tall, and secondly, she was too beautiful. And her beauty was not as gorgeous as other girls. Her beauty was like a chrysanthemum, fresh and elegant, and not competing with the world.

Zhao Yun stuttered, "No, no one. You, you sit down!"

"Yeah!" Then he sat down.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but secretly look at her again after seeing him sit down. She had a ponytail, a sports suit on the upper body, and a tank top underneath. She wore tight pants on the lower body, and a pair of sneakers on her feet that looked very good and expensive. Her skin was as white as jade, without any makeup, a straight nose, and big eyes. When she spoke, her eyes were like almonds. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and they were full of energy. The facial features were so perfectly matched that one more point would be too much, and one less point would be too little. Even sitting in the seat, one could tell that she was tall, and her two long, thin legs were so eye-catching.

"He's too tall!" Zhao Yun thought.

Zhao Yun had never seen such a tall girl. He had never seen such a beautiful girl. At that moment, the only poem that could come to his mind to describe this girl was, "There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. One look from her can make the city fall in love with her, another look can make the country fall in love with her."

Zhao Yun suddenly felt like it was you. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start. The rural people's reservedness and humility towards the city people were reflected. He didn't know what to do for a moment, so he turned his head and looked out the window with a heart that felt like it was scratched by a cat to ease the embarrassment.

The girl didn't want to talk, she just took out the book from her bag and sat there to read. Her slender fingers held the Chinese textbook.

The air was terrifyingly quiet. Zhao Yun felt that there was noisy noise outside, but he and the girl were in a vacuum. The aura of this girl was too strong, and it could affect people's mentality. As soon as you saw her, you wanted to accompany her quietly, watch her every move silently, and protect her silently. Breaking the silence would be like a blasphemy to her.

About half an hour later, four or five more people came up one after another, and the reception teacher also came up. He began to count the number of people, a total of 42 people, and then called the roll. When Liu Qin was called, the girl next to her answered "here". Zhao Yun only knew the girl's name at this time. Liu Qin is a very ordinary name, but this name seems extraordinary when it appears on her. After the roll call, the bus started to drive to No. 17 Middle School.

The bus arrived at No. 17 Middle School in about half an hour. When getting off the bus, Zhao Yun looked at a magnificent sign at the door that read "No. 17 Middle School, Beishan City, Beishan Province". Looking at the magnificent gatehouse and thinking about the broken iron gate of Tiancang Middle School, he felt that he was not worthy of leaving the station.

The reception teacher led the students to the playground, and then told everyone to gather here at 7:50 tomorrow morning, and the exam would start at 8:00. They were divided into track and field group, basketball group, and high jump group. Then they started to divide the dormitories. There were six dormitories in total, with eight people in each dormitory. Liu Qin lived in a dormitory with another girl. The students from the city will come directly to take the exam tomorrow. Zhao Yun didn't expect that Liu Qin was also in the track and field group. It made sense when he thought about it. This pair of long legs must be running fast.

Zhao Yun was assigned to dormitory 308. After entering the dormitory, he and several other people exchanged names, and then lay on the bed by himself, waiting for food. The others lay on the bed without saying anything. Zhao Yun was shocked too much today. When he came to the playground, he saw the plastic track, the transparent basketball stand and the rubber court. He was so envious of the football field. Zhao Yun swore in his heart that he would stay here and take off from here.

I came to No. 17 Middle School and I conquered it.

When he was getting his meal at night, he saw Liu Qin eating with another girl. Zhao Yun secretly looked at Liu Qin's back for a long time. While eating, he would occasionally glance at Liu Qin's table. He could hardly control his restlessness.

After a painful meal, Zhao Yun walked to the playground by himself and watched many students playing basketball and football. There were also many students running together. Zhao Yun also ran around the playground and ran 2,000 meters. One lap of this playground is 500 meters, and 2,000 meters is four laps.

After running, he returned to the dormitory to take a shower and sleep. In fact, Zhao Yun didn't notice that Liu Qin was also running when he was running. But she was wearing a hat, so Zhao Yun didn't recognize her. But Liu Qin saw everything Zhao Yun did.
