Captain Sun was one of the leaders I respected the most. Last year, he participated in the World Guard Exchange and won third place.
It was already not easy to win third place in such a high level competition, but Captain Sun didn't seem to be satisfied with it. Every time I mentioned it, Captain Sun would be full of regret.
Captain Sun was a person with unique skills. Some of his unique skills could be said to be enough to shock the world.
One was piercing glass with needles, and the other was the unique skill of playing cards. He could use a flying needle to penetrate glass that was one centimeter thick. He could also use playing cards as a lethal weapon, nailing ordinary cards into ordinary wooden boards.
Piercing glass with needles might be more common in China. As long as one practiced hard, many people could master this skill.
There were two main points: First, the instantaneous burst of power. Second, when the flying needle flew out, it had to be perpendicular to the glass. As long as one mastered these two points, anyone could master this skill.
But when it came to poker cards, it was much more difficult to master. Without a solid foundation, hard training, and the guidance of an expert, it was very difficult to master this skill.
Captain Sun could use ordinary cards as darts. It could penetrate a two-millimeter thick cardboard box or a thinner wooden board without a problem.
Last year, Captain Sun relied on these two skills to get the highest score given by the judges in the World Guard Exchange.
Of course, Captain Sun only taught these two skills to one person.
And that person was me.
This was also an important reason why I respected Captain Sun.
A teacher for a day, respected for life.
At this time, Captain Sun seemed to have a lot on his mind. He pondered for a long time before opening his mouth, "Do you know who your two biggest opponents are in this exchange?"
I said, "According to my judgment, it should be Keszew and Mike, right?"
Captain Sun nodded slightly and said, "That's right.
These two people's skills are strange and unpredictable. Last year, I lost to them and was ranked third.
And to be honest, I lost miserably, very miserably. It didn't even take a few rounds before I was … "Captain Sun couldn't finish his sentence and just kept sighing.
I asked, "Captain Sun, you could have continued to participate this year, right?"
Captain Sun shook his head and said, "I really wanted to participate, and Director Sun encouraged me several times.
But now, I don't have the capital.
If I go, I will lose even more miserably! "
I didn't understand and said, "How can that be, Captain Sun. With your current skills, I think it shouldn't be a problem."
Captain Sun bitterly smiled and said, "You only see the surface, but you don't know the inside.
This is also something I wanted to talk to you about.
I hid this matter in my heart for a whole year, and no one knows about it.
I have never mentioned to anyone.
Just last year at the exchange meeting, I, I … "
I asked: "What's wrong?" In my impression, Captain Sun rarely stuttered like this.
Captain Sun seemed to muster up a lot of courage and said, "I was hit in the ribs by Kesoff's flying knee. Two of my ribs were broken." Captain Sun put his hand on his chest as he spoke.
I was taken aback.
From the look in Captain Sun's eyes, he could feel the deepest pain.
But even so, it was still puzzling.
If that was the case, why did Captain Sun hide it?
It was no wonder that when he taught us in the guards, he would often have chest pain, and sometimes he couldn't help but cough.
At that time, we only thought that Captain Sun smoked too much, and his lungs weren't feeling well.
"Then, why did you hide it until now? In a situation like yours, the Secret Service will take care of you, and you can rest for a while.
Moreover, a fracture isn't a serious illness, and you will recover after a little rest! "I asked.
Captain Sun shook his head and said something that made my heart ache.
He said, "A fracture is a small matter, but losing face is a big matter.
If other people know that Keszew broke my bones, how can I survive in the Secret Service?
Won't that be embarrassing? "
My heart was deeply shaken.
I felt that Captain Sun's' actions weren't worth it.
He was too stubborn and stubborn.
He valued his face more than his life!
There was a kind of person in the world who would rather hide their thoughts in their heart than to let others know.
But Captain Sun's words made me feel a strong sense of bitterness in my heart.
I was very clear about his personality and his stubbornness.
But I didn't expect him to be this strong!
He cared too much about other people's evaluation of him, and was afraid that he would be laughed at if he spread the news of his fracture.
What a childish way of thinking this was!
I only felt sympathy for him. I sympathized that he cared too much about his vanity, and cared too much about his image.
He would rather have his body hurt than let others know of his pain.
I wanted to comfort him with a few words, but then I heard Captain Sun continue, "Today, I told you about this matter, not to gain your sympathy, but to let you know how powerful Kessel is. If you can enter the finals and compete with Kessel, don't underestimate him. You must be on guard against his attacks, they are too lethal!" Captain Sun continued, "Today, I told you about this matter not to win your sympathy, but to let you know how powerful Kessel is.
His skills were hard to fathom and unpredictable.
Don't follow in my footsteps, please! "
I said, "Captain Sun, you don't have to do this.
You really don't have to. "
Captain Sun forced a smile. "Then what should I do? Should I see someone and shout, 'Keszew broke my ribs, Keszew broke my ribs?'?
Then I should go to Director You and say, 'Director You, Keszew broke my ribs. Can you give me a second-class merit?'
Is that right?
It would be strange if I didn't get laughed at! "
I said, "Captain Sun, you're too stubborn.
If you had reported this matter to Director You in time, your position might have been higher.
The Bureau would have publicized your deeds! "
Captain Sun frowned. "Publicize?
Publicize what? Publicize that my ribs were broken?
Publicize that I was defeated by Keszew?
Besides, Director You isn't a fool. Do you think he would promote a disabled person with a fracture? "
I said, "Captain Sun, I feel like your thoughts have been sealed.
You should be more open-minded. Don't let this matter affect your mood and other things. "
Captain Sun waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.
I'm not telling you this to gain your sympathy or pressure you. I just want you to learn from your mistakes. If you go against Keszew, you must be vigilant. His attacks are too powerful. If he hits a vital part, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
I nodded and said, "I know.
Captain Sun, don't worry.
I just … "
Captain Sun interrupted me and said, "Don't tell anyone about my broken bones.
In this world, you're the only one who knows.
If I hear that someone spread the news that I've been fractured, then we won't even be comrades in the future! "
I said helplessly and sadly, "Captain Sun, don't worry. I'll keep your secret.
I just hope that you can be happier, more open-minded, and more open-minded.
There's no need to let this affect your mood for the rest of your life. "
Captain Sun smiled thoughtfully and said, "No, no, I won't.
Right now, my biggest wish is to see our country's guards defeat Keszew before I die. This is my biggest wish. That's why when I was in the Special Forces, I took a fancy to you and taught you everything I know. I hope that you can represent me and China at that international event and fulfill my unfulfilled wish.
And Keszew, I hope you can defeat him! "
I could see that Captain Sun's smile was a forced one. It was a bitter smile, a smile of someone who was entrusted with something.
This smile was full of his vision and hope. It was also full of his painstaking care and training for me.
I pinched my nose and squeezed out a smile. "Captain Sun, don't worry. This time, I'll break Keszew's ribs and let him know the power of China's guards!"
After saying it, I realized that it was inappropriate.
I wanted to comfort Captain Sun, but it felt like I was poking at Captain Sun's wound.
Captain Sun waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary.
We can't be like him and use ruthless methods to hurt people.
As long as you can defeat him, I'll be relieved!
After all, I'm half your teacher! "
I nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain Sun. I'll remember your teachings!"
Captain Sun patted my shoulder and said, "You must always remember that you're the one who planted my hope in you."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, Captain Sun. I won't forget.
Never. "
Then, Captain Sun led me to the south side of the Monument of the People's Heroes. He suddenly stood up and said with interest, "Zhao Long, let's spar again today."
I was surprised and said, "Here?"
Captain Sun nodded. "Yes."
I smiled and said, "Captain Sun, let's forget about it. There are so many people here.
If you want to spar, let's go back. "
Captain Sun said, "It's good to have more people.
It's a good chance to train your mental strength. "
I was speechless.
To be honest, I didn't want to spar with someone in public.
Especially Captain Sun, who I respected the most.
But I couldn't refuse Captain Sun's request. Captain Sun was really unpredictable. Once he thought of something, even eight donkeys wouldn't be able to pull him back.
So, we took a stance in a corner. Captain Sun's eyes were bright and he said, "Attack. If you can't even beat me, then it'll be too difficult to beat Keszew!
I raised my fist in front of my chest and said, "Captain Sun, take this!"
As we took a stance, more and more people came to watch. People looked at me and Captain Sun with a special gaze. They must be thinking: These two must have drunk too much and came to the square to fight!
Actually, I thought so too.
This Captain Sun was really strange. Did experts with some background like to do things that ordinary people couldn't understand?
I remembered that Grandpa Huang was also like this.
He liked to do things that others couldn't imagine.
Just like that, the two of us exchanged pointers under the light. From shallow to deep, from slow to fast.
Captain Sun closed in, swinging his fist like the wind.
