[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

The teenagers were driven to sleep after eleven o'clock at night.At six o'clock in the morning, Xu You, who kept watch in the middle of the night, woke everyone up on time.

"Get up, get up!" Take the peeled wooden sticks and tap them lightly one by one, "Get up—do you still want to become stronger? Don't be lazy. Get up!"

"King Ren!"

"pupi—na." The drowsy Nioh rubbed his hair that had turned into a chicken coop, and facing the gentle and serious face, he couldn't vent his anger after getting up, so he had to go to the river to find the trouble of the early morning river.

After a night of camping in the wild, everyone subconsciously listened to Xu You.There are many factors for this. On the one hand, although Xu You is in the loser group, his strength is obvious to all, and he is the strongest in the loser group; on the other hand, his stability and experience make boys up to 15 years old feel at ease. Even unconsciously rely on.

The four bonfires were extinguished one after another, and the rising sun just peeked out from the sharp edge of the hill. Aroused by the cold mountain spring, 32 teenagers in different clothes gathered together, full of energy.

After counting the number of people, Xu You pointed out the direction with a wooden stick: "Let's go."

"Oh!"

While Xu You woke up the loser team members, Yukimura got up on time.

After finishing personal cleaning and watering the flowers within half an hour, he picked up his tennis bag and went downstairs to watch a new round of shuffle.

"Me and Miyano-san in the sixth field?" Considering the record in the previous official games, Yukimura estimated that the coaching staff wanted to check his ability to deal with high school students' strength and endurance.Thinking about it this way, what type of player Miyano is, can basically be reversed.

Unlike Yukimura who walked leisurely to have breakfast, Miyano panicked a lot when he saw the personal shuffle list, and was patted on the shoulder comfortingly by his friends who were in the same field.

He felt he was doomed.

Just kidding, Ise and Eguchi in the 5th field did not know how many times they sniped them in the team substitution match. I heard that these two people were still young soldiers who couldn't even get into the main election in Lihai last year.

Yukimura is Rikkai's minister.

"Really, what does the coach think?" He is a cannon fodder.

Marui and Yagyu also appeared in the personal shuffle match with Yukimura. The coach seemed to be trying to test Lihai this day.

"Please advise, Miyano-san."

The person who seemed gentle just now was facing him face to face, serious and unsmiling.This made Miyano, who was already nervous, feel even less ready to fight: "Uh... well, please give me some advice."

"Let's start." The silver-blue racket frame tapped on the palm of his left hand, "Don't worry, it won't be too slow."

"All keep up, hurry up." Xu You slapped the bushes beside him with a wooden stick, and opened the way. Behind him were the four of Lihai, followed by the energetic Xiaojin and Echizen, and then the large army followed.A serpentine team.

Because this is an uphill road, they have to climb up to the top of the mountain to see if it is the end point. If the people in the front row slip down and slide down the slope, the group behind will suffer.This is the reason why Xu You asked to take the serpentine form.

After they found the pile of rocks and crossed the river, they kept walking uphill. Some places were covered with moss, very steep and slippery, and there were caves and slides covered by grass beside the narrow path.This caused lingering fears in the hearts of those who were screaming and wanting to drive overnight.

Xu You turned on the compass on the phone, looked up at the direction of the sun, and looked around.

"It takes about half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. I don't know if the end point is this mountain. If not, we have to climb another one."

"Ah..." A few mournful voices came from behind.

"That is to say, we don't know how long we have to go?" Gan found the key point, "Keep going over mountains and ridges, and never really reach the end. We will never know where we will end." From the enthusiasm at the beginning, to Slowly calm down, and then silently and mechanically off-road, my heart fell into the despair of not being able to reach the finish line step by step.

"You should be glad that the coach pointed out in one direction." It is more terrifying to rush forward without a direction and tirelessly than to advance towards an unattainable goal.

"Don't be confused when it's time to gather your strength, and don't be stubborn when it's time to recuperate." Xu You once again used the compass and the map to confirm the next path, "It's a good thing to have blood, but it's not a good thing."

"I don't understand." Echizen muttered softly.

Dashi also whispered: "However, it is also a good thing to have Mr. Shenmu as our guide."

"That's right." Gan agreed.

Xu You's calmness and maturity are not possessed by the members of the loser group, even Qian Qian or Liu are the same.After all, they are all just teenagers under the age of 15, with too little life experience.

"The game is over, Yukimura won. [6-0, 6-0]"

Kurobe glanced at the time: "19 minutes."

"You really deserve to be Yukimura-kun." Saito said with a smile in his eyes, "I just said that I can't fail Yukimura-kun, Kurobe."

"I admit it this time." Kurobe looked at the other two games. Marui and Yagyu had obvious advantages, and their opponents basically had no chance of coming back.

The tactical coach, Kurobe, felt Lihai's hot hand again.

Fortunately, Saito kicked halfway to the old man.

At about nine o'clock, the team members who climbed to the summit greeted the dazzling brilliance in the thin clouds and mist. They were just as hopeful and bright as the mountaintop in their minds. After going through "untold hardships" to the summit, they could be with All heroes.

However, the dream is full and the reality is skinny.

"Hey, hey!" The muffled sound of wood knocking brought the teenagers who had moved them a little back to their senses.Standing in the shade, King Ren raised his head and looked up. It was Xu You who knocked on the wooden stick, looking at them strangely.And this meadow, obviously, is not the end.

"Cough." Liu blushed and followed Xu You.He would never admit that he was in a trance just now.

"Should be mentally prepared, right? Let's move on to the next one." Xu You began to lead the team downhill. "Concentrate on the downhill. The downhill is easy, but it is more dangerous than the uphill."

"Hi--"

The warm sun in winter is rising, and the continuous mountain peaks in the distance are invisible and innumerable in the white light and lingering clouds.It is as hazy as an ink painting on a fan.

With a wave of one hand, the folding fan was put away.Yukimura returned to the dormitory to pack the teacups. He was wearing a red short-sleeved U17 training camp and a white red jacket.

"It's noon." I don't know how Yujun and the others are doing?Should the training camp be held in another place?

"Minister! Aww..."

"How many times have I told you that no loud noises are allowed in the corridor."

"But, but you are also very loud, Deputy Minister..." Weakly muttered.

There was a light knock on the door, and Marui's voice came: "Yukimura, are you going to eat together?"

"Just come."

Everyone in the main training camp didn't have to worry about food, but the loser group was busy working hard for lunch.

"Tian Renzhi, you can eat too much, right?" Ping Guchang saw the wild fruit in front of the fat man's partner disappear at the speed of light, feeling bald with worry.They don't know how long they have to go, so don't worry about it.But this guy is worth three.

"Biscuits and chocolates that are high in calories and can be stored for a long time will be postponed. Now try to focus on outdoor food and some snacks." Xu You has a wooden account in his hand, indicating the tasks of more than 20 people, " Even if we reach the finish line, we are not sure that we will not have to worry about food." Who knows that the coach will come up with more tricks?

"Mr. Dashi, your team boils more water for everyone to prepare. We consume more water than calories on the road."

"Understood." The water was boiled in small cans, and the empty cans were used to cook vegetable soup.The water is running water from the road, no matter how clear it is, it is safer to be boiled.

"Time is tight, we will only stay for an hour at most."

"Yes!" Everyone quickened their movements.

With water and hot cooked food, the losers who trekked in the wild for nearly a day are much more comfortable, whether it is physically or mentally.

No one can deny that in the cold and bleak winter, being able to eat cooked food is more spiritually comforting and relaxing than eating biscuits or eating cold food.

Tension, anxiety, impatience, emotions will fluctuate under the influence of the outside world and oneself, and accumulate layer by layer over time.Boys who are accustomed to a comfortable environment may not be able to bear the accumulation of negativity in a bad situation, and gradually lose their direction and goals after an outbreak.

But the middle school survival group is lucky.There are many factors that contribute to being "lucky".The sincerity of the teenagers, the solid willpower, the experienced leaders, the ears that are good at listening...

"Ah, it's so warm." Five or six people sat in a circle around their respective fires, resting with their thermos cups in their hands.

The wind is still shuttling through the forest, rustling wherever it passes.

But at this time, it has nothing to do with the boys.

Back in the shelter, the five of Li Hai chatted in the lounge after the meal.

"By the way, Yukimura-kun is holding a fan from Shenmu-kun?"

"Yes." The head of the fan was held in the palm of the left hand, "According to the morning training form, we can return to the dormitory to rest at six o'clock in the afternoon." Others may not be sure.

"I don't know if there will be additional training tonight." Marui blew out blue bubbles.Today's content has caught up with their Hakone devil's accommodation.

Yukimura folded his arm with a fan in his right hand: "Really, I will consider one thing."

"what?"

"Hehe, take the initiative to run away."

"Eh?!"

Sanada pressed the hat: "Will this be bad?"

"I still want to play professionally until I'm 50 or [-] years old." Yukimura's smile seems to be there, "You have to take it step by step to raise seedlings. If you treat yourself too much now, your sports life will decline."

"..." There was a moment of silence.

Their professional intention is not tennis, but Yukimura is not here, so... loses more than half of the meaning of joining the training camp.

Do you want to follow suit then?

Even Sanada is seriously thinking about this question.

In one afternoon, the loser group climbed over the third hill of about 300 meters and began to climb the fourth hill.

"I think this may be the end point." Looking up, the evening sun has lost its ability to shine brightly, and the path leading to the top of the mountain in front of them is steeper than the second one.

"About 400 meters." Xu You turned around, "Everyone rests for half an hour and prepares for the final sprint."

"Is it really the end?" Xiang Ri was a little disappointed by the joy of the second mountain.

"No, there is nothing, right?"

"Are you afraid of being disappointed?" Xu You glanced around, "It's been a smooth journey, why have you lost confidence until now?"

"A goal, you will all be weak because you can't reach it. Then what do you want to be the grand goal of the Japanese representative? Go home as soon as possible."

"Of course not!" Shishido stood up abruptly, then staggered and sat on the ground because of his weak legs, "Who is afraid?"

"That's right, it's a big deal to turn over another one. Just walk for a few more days!"

"Then gather up enough energy now, and wait until I don't lead the way, and see who is the first to reach the top of the mountain."

"Oh!" Yuan Shan is always the most excited one, "Qianqian, did you hear that? Use this to decide the outcome!"

"You're still a long way off."
