Born to Run

The next day, July 16.

When Ye Qin woke up, he glanced at the wall clock on the wall. At 5:15 in the morning, after adapting to the time difference in Italy, his perennial training and living habits made him wake up automatically at this time.

Feeling a little bit of soreness and exhaustion in his body, Yechin pulled on the quilt and wanted to continue to sleep for a while. It was already more than 12 o'clock when he returned to the hotel resident last night, and it was almost 1 o'clock after a simple wash. Disrupted his usual rhythm of going to bed on time at 11 o'clock in the evening, plus three games a day yesterday, the intensity is high, and the body has not been able to fully recover.

The hurdler Liu Lilu from the bed next door was sleeping soundly. The men’s 110-meter hurdles race was a preliminaries today. The opponent had fallen asleep early last night to keep up his energy. When Ye Qin came back last night, the opponent did not have much reaction.

Yesterday, I don't know if it was due to the intensity of the game, or I still remembered Nie Fangping, that he couldn't sleep well all night. After waking up, in addition to the soreness of the body, the mind was also a little groggy.

After tossing about in bed for a while, I wanted to sleep but couldn't fall asleep, so I just got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, and I finally became sober.

The breakfast time arranged by the hotel in the resident hadn't arrived. After sitting quietly in the hotel lobby for a while, Yechin simply left the hotel and went for a morning jog along the quaint streets of Grosseto.

Grosseto in the early morning is quite quiet, with few pedestrians on the street, giving it a different sense of tranquility.

Along the street Yechin took a close look at Grosseto Cathedral and St. Francis Cathedral, which are full of historical vicissitudes, and there is also a St. Petersburg Cathedral in the city center. When I first arrived in Grosseto Yeqin heard the Italian interpreter and staff of the delegation talked about it. There are many monasteries and churches outside the city.

In addition to churches, there are buildings similar to palaces, various squares full of medieval European style, monuments and so on.

When I arrived in Grosseto before, I noticed some places, but they didn't observe it as closely as Yechin is now. Occasionally passing by some unknown stone-paved streets and looking at the rare pedestrian streets, it really feels like being in ancient Italy and Europe.

Although Grosseto is the local capital and the buildings have a sense of historical age, the whole place is really not that big. Yeqin feels that it is actually not much different from Xiushui County.

Yeqin trot all the way, and it didn't take long before he arrived at Grosseto Central Hospital.

I didn't pay attention to it last night. After I arrived today, I found out that it was a three-story building. Compared to other buildings with a sense of history, it is still new, but it looks like it should be decades old.

Ye Qin entered the hospital and began to estimate that he would encounter obstructions such as the nurse on duty or the security guard. Although he has worked hard in English, he is not particularly fluent in English. On the road, he thought about it for a while. How to respond to other people's inquiries.

As a result, after entering the hospital, probably because it was too early, there were only two sleepy white nurses lying in the window. They seemed to glance at him, but did not respond much.

Ye Qin went straight into the hospital. Following the memory of last night, after searching for a while, he finally found the ward where Nie Fangping was.

Standing outside the ward, Ye Qin saw Nie Fangping lying on the bed through the see-through glass on the door. He wanted to enter the door to see if Nie Fangping was better today, but he stopped outside the door for some reason.

Just like Nie Fangping has not considered Yeqin, Ye Qin actually vaguely feels that in the future, he will spend less and less time with Nie Fangping. He will be in the third year of high school next semester. The college entrance examination is over by this time next year, and then he Is about to leave Xiushui and enter the university campus.

Unlike when he had just entered high school, after several years of running across the country and going abroad several times, Ye Chin is no longer as cautious about himself and society as he once was. He can find his own Position, he has the confidence to handle some things well, but at this moment, I just didn't expect that the sudden unexpected change made him feel a little depressed.

In the more than a year that the master and apprentice have been together, they have become more and more in harmony. The appearance of Nie Fangping has replaced an important role in his life to some extent.

In childhood, this role was grandfather or younger uncle, and in the adolescent stage, it was undoubtedly Nie Fangping.

It was the first time to go to Nanxiu City for training alone and train on the track and field. Nie Fangping accidentally discovered that he was given the first nutritious meal in the cafeteria. He waited for him to show up and start training on the playground after class every day. In the center, this old man who had always been firm and silent in his eyes bowed his head to beg for help.

Many things have permeated his life so quietly without knowing it. The old man in the hospital bed seemed to have turned whiter in more than a year. In his sleep, the muscles on his face relaxed, and he could still see deep forehead lines and vertical lines between the eyebrows.

"Coach, you get better soon!"

Standing outside the quiet door for a long time, Ye Qin quietly turned and left until more and more people came and went around the corridor.

Ye Qin trot all the way along the way he came. There are more and more pedestrians on the road. I don't know if it is local residents or tourists who get up early to go shopping. In an unfamiliar city or country, such a morning run is a completely different experience for Yechin.

Especially when Nie Fangping was lying on the hospital bed at this moment, Ye Qin felt an indescribable feeling of emptiness in his heart.

It's a bit like returning to the small village where he was running in Shangyun a year or two ago. No one seems to care what he is doing, but he knows it himself.

He knew it from the day he stood on the runway.

I ran around for a while, halfway through because of the similarity of several buildings, I also ran a bit wrong. But probably the direction of the road was not wrong. I paid a little attention and returned to the hotel on the premises.

At this time, the sky was almost completely cold. The players from the hotel's representative team who had a game this morning had already gotten up. After washing up, they were eating breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

Soon they will go to the stadium, start a series of warm-ups in advance, and then check the program to prepare for the game and so on.

Ye Qin sat in the dining room with the other team players and began to eat breakfast. Except for Liu Lilu, who was in the same bedroom, he quietly went out in the morning and returned quietly without being noticed by anyone. After seeing Ye Qin, the other players on the representative team met several times and nodded to him kindly.

Not long afterwards, the team leader Zhou Bin also appeared in the restaurant with a yawn. The bags under his eyes on his face were a little heavier. After seeing Ye Qin, he said with a little surprise:

"Ye Qin, you still have a game tonight. During the day, you still have to take a break. Coach Nie is away today. If you go to the stadium then, you can come with Coach Xu or a few other coaches. If you want to see Coach Nie, You also tell Director Xu, he will let someone take you there."

In the morning and afternoon games, Zhou Bin has a lot of things as the team leader. In some games, he will appear on the field as much as possible to watch, so as to avoid problems and need to communicate with the officials of the organizing committee.

"Well, thank you Zhou for your guidance!"

After having breakfast, Ye Qin went straight back to the room. He did not follow to the stadium, nor did he go to the other team member Xu to arrange for him to go to the hospital and visit Nie Fangping again. Instead, he lay in bed again and started sleeping.

He could feel the fatigue of his body~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the slight soreness of his muscles. Although his brain was awake for a few minutes after the morning run, he was still a bit sleepy.

At this moment, Yeqin clearly knew that he was not in the best state.

Maybe some people think that yesterday they already won a silver medal in the men's 400 meters, and they also got tickets to the Olympics, so they can relax today.

Even if the men's 200m final tonight is unsatisfactory, no one will criticize him. After the intensity of the three games yesterday, there will be a few mentally and invigorated the next day.

But Ye Qin didn't want to give up. He only wanted to race, so he wanted to run seriously and go all out!

The coach is not there, he needs to adjust these things by himself.

When training in Zuohai City last summer, Nie Fangping told him that track and field athletes are often lonely. At some point, you will feel that you have no one to rely on and you need to face it alone. Face life, face the game, face competitors.

You will be strong and fearless! 8)
