Chapter 947: The Rhythm of Being a Good Person
The flight of Airline Y is a Boeing 777, a large aircraft that can carry a lot of passengers.
The athletes of the track and field team acted as a team. They boarded the plane in advance and placed their luggage in the group-purchase area. Because Le was the youngest and a child, she asked her coach to accompany her to sit there. window position.
Coach Ou was so happy that when the athletes sat down, there were no more problems. He sat down and practiced Spanish with Xiao Le.
The two of them talked in Spanish, occasionally adding a few words in German, and they were very excited. To the ears of people who don’t understand, it was like a chicken-duck talk. There was a lot of chatter, and the athletes came and went to watch the music. The eyes of the classmate were also particularly dark. A little kid had extremely good athletic talent, excellent academic performance, and knew several foreign languages. This was the rhythm of athletes who would make them angry to death.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with the conversation between Coach Ou and classmate Le. However, when the passengers boarded the plane, there were two foreigners who also understood Spanish. When they heard the two people speaking Spanish, they ran over Look around and ask the flight attendant to help you change seats.
After some coordination, the athletes first adjusted their positions and asked Coach Ou to accompany classmate Le to sit in the last row of their seats. Then the flight attendant helped adjust the seats in the back row with the two Spanish-speaking people. seat.
One of the two native Spanish speakers is Spanish and the other is Mexican. They work for a large company in country Y. They came to China on a business trip and felt uncomfortable when they heard someone speaking Spanish. Friendly, we have a common language when we sit together.
Because the little Oriental girl was new to Spanish, the two gentlemen were very happy to be teachers, teaching her the differences between letter pronunciations, the tone of speaking, and taboos on the use of many words that are easy to produce ambiguities. wait.
So, in the short time before departure, the four of them went from being strangers to chatting with each other, and they felt like "I'm really lucky this time." Meeting a friend you can chat with is also a kind of fate, so the four of them decisively exchanged contact information and could send an email to chat when they had time.
When the plane was about to take off, the flight attendants were doing inspections. In order not to disturb the work of the staff, the four of them ended their conversation.
After a series of preparations, the flight took off at 12:22 China time, bound for country Y. The flight is expected to last eleven and a half hours and will arrive at the destination at 15:35 local time in country Y. .
Country Y is in winter time, eight hours different from China. The plane takes off after 12 o'clock local time in China, which is around 4 o'clock in the morning for country Y. Therefore, the whole flight is delayed. It was a daytime flight. Long-distance flights of more than ten hours usually provide two meals. One hour after the plane took off, the flight provided lunch, and the plane provided another meal at around 7:00 China time.Serves dinner.
It is not advisable to speak loudly while flying on the plane, so in order not to disturb others and not talk loudly, Yile’s classmate Coach Ou and the guests in the back seat chatted quietly for a while during the meal time.
On long-distance flights, sitting around is boring. Everyone finds something to do to kill time. There is no one to talk to, sleep, play games or watch movies.
After a long flight, the flight arrived at the Capital Airport of Country Y on time and landed smoothly. The passengers who had been on the plane for more than ten hours were finally able to step out of the mechanical bird and breathe free air. .
Classmate Le and Coach Ou followed the team and said goodbye to their two foreign friends. The athletes got off the plane as a group and walked out of the port of entry to get their stamps stamped. The athletes’ visas were official visas, so there were no problems. The only thing that took a little more time was the declaration of the property brought into the country. The main reason was that Mr. Le brought a jade box containing a medical needle and needed to declare customs and pay taxes.
After paying the customs tax, the team members left the terminal, took a bus to the high-speed rail station, and then transferred to the high-speed rail to Birmingham, where the event was held.
March in Country Y is the season of the year with little rain and dryness, but it is still a relatively mild climate. When there is the sun in the sky, the temperature is high and very warm. The local people only wear thin clothes. sweater and a thick coat.
Classmate Le and others took the bus and quickly arrived at the high-speed rail station. The athlete team bought tickets and got on the bus as soon as they arrived. After an hour and a half drive, they arrived in Birmingham.
Minghan City is located between London, the capital of country Y, and Liverpool. It is the second largest city in country Y, the most developed international city with the youngest population in country Y, and a prosperous business area. The city with the best quality of life, complete infrastructure and convenient transportation.
It is also a famous track and field city, hosting many world-class competitions, European continental competitions, and various large-scale competitions in country Y.
Coach Ou and his team took a bus from the high-speed rail station to the hotel arranged by the organizer for the athletes. The hotels responsible for hosting athletes from all over the world had already prepared everything and were in order. Receive the athlete team from China.
In the World Indoor Track and Field Championships in March 2018, athletes from more than 150 countries participated. Naturally, it is impossible for one person to stay in a room. The athletes’ hotels are all group-style, with four, six or eight people. In the human world, Olympic champions receive preferential treatment and stay in luxury hotels.
The Chinese athlete team is not the first group to arrive in Birmingham. Delegations from many countries have arrived on the 26th. The athletes go to their assigned hotel accommodation, and the team allocates beds and everyone tidies up. own luggage.
They arrived in London at 15:35 local time and spent two days by bus and train.It was more than six o'clock in the afternoon when we checked into the hotel. It was already past seven o'clock when we had arranged our luggage and formed a team to go to the athletes' restaurant.
Classmate Le is a little kid. She doesn’t have to worry about anything. She just follows the big group. She goes where everyone goes. She follows when everyone goes. She follows when everyone stops. She eats in the athletes’ restaurant. A nutritious dinner specially prepared for athletes. They went for a walk and then returned to the hotel to rest.
The next day, the team went to the IAAF Organizing Committee to report and undergo physical examinations. Le was "honored" to receive a special reception, but nothing that needed to be checked was missed. She was slapped several times. Others don't feel bad about the blood in the tube, but she feels bad about herself. Her blood is so precious that even after three months of medicated diet, she can't produce ten milliliters of blood.
After the physical examination, go to the venue and the athletes' lounge, and become familiar with the process of where to check in, where to wait, where to enter, etc. during the game, and to receive the athlete's number. Athletes can also go to informal venues to exercise. .
After walking around for a while, while the athletes were free to move around, Le asked a volunteer attendant at the venue where there were libraries, bookstores, and banks where money could be exchanged. The volunteer attendant gave her a map, and she studied it. Fan, go straight to the bank to withdraw money.
She had euros, but the team that came with her knew when they went through the customs that she only brought one thousand euros in cash. If she had some extra money out of thin air, she would not be able to get through the customs.
Exchange 10,000 euros in the bank and take the money to the library. The library is in the sports city and there is no need to apply to the organizing committee for going out.
With his fluent English in the local accent of country Y, Le Xiaoxiao can almost say that he has everything he wants. He goes to the library to find the administrator and asks where the books are for sale. I wandered around for two hours and bought a dozen books in total. I sent them to the main counter first and then went to the information library open to the public to read. It was almost evening before I checked out and returned to the hotel with a bundle of books.
Coach Ou and others were getting angry waiting. When the classmate came back, they rushed over to catch her, snatched the things she was carrying and scolded her: "You said you just got free to move around like A wild horse can run without a trace, and a girl can run around alone without fear of getting lost or being deceived..."
"Coach, this is a sports city. If I have an accident in the sports city, , the face of Country Y is gone. Besides, don’t look at people through cracks in the door, okay? Even with my foreign language proficiency, I can’t be deceived.”
“You still have reason. Why do you love books so much? You have a room full of books in your dormitory, and you go out to buy books when you are out for competitions. You were reincarnated by books in your last life. Come on, don’t talk about it. I have something important to talk to you about, so go to the dormitory to talk to me."< br />
Coach Ou felt heavy with the bundle of books he was carrying, so he helped carry it back to the dormitory where the female athletes lived. Other athletes were also there. When he saw what Xiaole brought back, he also felt it was for the benefit of his classmates.Learn and smash your tongue.
“Coach, don’t be so pretentious, you have something important to talk about.” Returning to the sports dormitory, Le Yun bundled the books beside her bed and asked straight to the point what the matter was, and asked the coach to come and find her. Own.
"It's about the physical examination," Coach Ou's face fell. Seeing several athletes showing nervous expressions, he hurriedly reassured: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing bad. I didn't say who has served the ban. Medicines and the like, they were studying and testing Le’s classmate’s blood, and found that there were several rare antibodies in her blood. It was a rare blood type. I heard it was the rarest and most complex blood type in the world. It was said... It is said that there is a patient in a certain country who has the same blood type as classmate Le..."
Coach Ou was stuck, Le Yun couldn't be more calm: "Did they contact you and want me to donate blood? ?" Intuition told her that some people want to
"You guessed it, that's what they mean, because the patient is also an athlete." Coach Ou spread his hands: "We It’s not easy to refuse directly. We will wait until we ask you what you want before replying to them. You can refuse because you are not yet an adult and are a protected minor.”
“Donate blood and platelets. There is no problem, but I refuse any idea of trying to get me to donate bone marrow. The coach can reply to them and I can donate blood after the game." She herself is not fully developed yet, and bone marrow cannot be donated, even if the emperor comes. You can't even say that.
Coach Ou initially thought that the little guy refused directly, but she unexpectedly agreed. He was particularly surprised: "Xiao Le, don't you think about it more?"
"It doesn't take much to donate blood. I’m confused. Donating an appropriate amount of blood is within the acceptable range for me. I don’t accept any request for bone marrow transplantation.” Everyone is at ease here, so we can also make preparations in advance." The little classmate was very caring, and Coach Ou didn't have anything to say. He went to the team boss to reply to the news from the organizing committee.
Le Yun didn’t care about the unimportant things. She packed up and went to have dinner. After eating, she went back to the dormitory to read a book. Any athlete in the same team who wanted to read could also read it, but unfortunately they were all In foreign languages, only a few books are in English.
The indoor track and field competition officially started on the afternoon of March 1, local time. In the morning, some belated athlete teams arrived one after another, and in the afternoon there was an opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony was very grand, with a lot of important people in attendance. After a series of steps were completed, it turned to the main topic, and all the pre-arranged projects were held as scheduled.
There are multiple events on the first competition day. The Chinese team has the men’s high jump finals, but the female athletes have no events on the first competition day.
The biggest highlight of the day’s events was the women’s 3000m final in the evening.The competition is also a battle to defend the title of Ethiopian star Dibaba, the world indoor track and field 3,000-meter record holder.
That night, Chinese athletes tied for third place in the men’s high jump final. At 20:15 Birmingham time, the women’s 3000m final kicked off. After fierce competition, the Ethiopian star successfully defended his title. , three consecutive championships in the indoor track and field 3,000 meters.
The evening competition was over and the spectators and athletes all left.
Le Yun accompanied the group to watch the men’s high jump and the women’s 3000 meters final. She went with the group to rest with the athletes from her country first.
As soon as the staff arrived in the lounge, Coach Ou grabbed Le and whispered to the side: "Xiao Le, have you seen the speed of the world champion? Do you have any special feelings?"
"Dibaba's body is very muscular, and her body proportions are close to perfect." Le Yun expressed her feelings very honestly. Due to the country's geographical environment, Ethiopian middle-distance runner Dibaba's skin is not particularly dark, and his body shape is very He is fit and well-proportioned, and can score 95 points.
"What?" A group of people wanted to hear the little classmate's thoughts on whether she was stressed or something like that, but she went off topic and ran away 8,000 miles away, leaving everyone confused.
"Xiao Le, I asked her if she was running fast. Where are you talking with me? What are you thinking in your little head? What are you thinking about?" Coach Ou hates that iron cannot be made into steel. , poked the little classmate’s head with his finger, eh, well, the beautiful boy from the Chao family was not there, so he could point the little classmate’s head “to point the way”. If the beautiful boy were there, he would definitely stare at him and not let him touch the little guy. head.
"I want to tell my brother Chao that you keep poking me in the head behind his back," Le Yun protested angrily and gave him an answer: "Coach, can you always ask me something that is good enough?" Question, of course she runs very fast, can Dibaba still win the championship if she doesn’t run fast?”
“I’m going to be pissed off by you,” the classmate pretended to be dumbfounded, Coach Ou I couldn't help but touch my little classmate's head with my big hand: "Don't use your brother to scare people. Your brother is not here. Water is far away and fire is close. Don't talk about him. I'm asking if you feel any pressure. Do you feel any pressure?" Compete with her in terms of self-confidence. If you pretend to be a fool again, I will catch you in the training center every day when you go back." Well, I have to ask after you. To satisfy your curiosity, I can only conservatively say that my speed is about the same as hers in middle and long-distance running. If it is a long-distance running of more than 10,000 meters, it is hard to say who will win. "
Being touched on the head, Le Yun hugged her head helplessly: "Coach, I'm sleepy, can you let me go to sleep?"
