Chapter 11 1 Punch Team USA
Now the captain of the United States, Steve, has been at the farm for nearly two months, and he has become familiar with Jonathan day by day. Because Jonathan is several years older than Steve, and Steve is also very familiar with Jonathan, who is more mature in doing things. Out of respect, Jonathan is always called by his first name when he comes back. However, Steve still calls Jonathan Mr. Green because of his rather old-fashioned and stubborn personality.
"Steve, are you afraid?"
It was Christmas Eve and there was a carnival at the farm next door. The farmer was not willing to kill his own cow for his family and friends, so he invited Jonathan, who was already running for the second time, to knock the big black cow unconscious with a sledgehammer, and then break the big black cow into big pieces. .
Jonathan's use of a sledgehammer to knock the big black cow unconscious seemed cruel, but in fact it was the greatest kindness to the cow. It was stunned so that it would not struggle or suffer, and it was considered a relief. It's not like some farms that kill cattle privately and just chop them with a sickle, which is equivalent to execution.
Jonathan brought Steve, the future rice team member, who was idle on the farm. Seeing the underage Steve who didn't dare to look but refused to admit defeat, Jonathan didn't know whether to belittle or praise him.
"Of course not. How could I be afraid? My dream is to be a soldier and use my fists to crush all the injustices in this society. I am going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Faced with such a small How could I be afraid of this scene?”
“It’s good to be ambitious”
"Mr. Green, I know you may not believe it. Everyone thinks I am dreaming and I will not succeed, but I will not give up. Even if I fail again and again, I will still work hard." Steve carried an old man There is a long pole scale, and a four-pound beef tenderloin is hooked on the hook at one end of the long pole scale.
Jonathan was also shameless. He helped others kill the cow and got more than four kilograms of tenderloin. The tenderloin of this cow was less than ten kilograms.
"Steve, I think you misunderstood. I'm not saying you will fail. On the contrary, I believe you will succeed. You will become a hero in these troubled times." The road in the small town was still very smooth after the snow had cleared. Unlike naughty children holding adults' hands to "skate", Jonathan and Steve both took small steps on the ice, and pairs of black leather shoes "squeaked" on the white snow. .
"You must be comforting me. After all these years, even my parents think I'm crazy. After all, my physique is too weak compared to my peers."
"No, if you don't believe me, I can make a bet with you. You will definitely become a household name in the United States before you are thirty years old. By that time, you will become the soul symbol of the American army. The bet is, if I lose, I will promise You do one thing, and if you lose you also promise to do one thing for me.”
"Mr. Green, I will never admit defeat." Steve tightened his collar to block the cold wind that was pouring into the collar with his tireless "whoosh".
Although Steve's words are ambiguous, whether he must win this bet or whether he will never give up being a soldier, I'm afraid only he knows, but this sentence undoubtedly agrees. A gamble that was destined to affect him for the rest of his life.
Steve is very grateful to Jonathan. Steve is a man who misses old friendships and is kind to a woman. In the Captain America movie series, even if the Winter Soldier is an enemy, he can't bear to kill him and even rescues him again and again.
Regardless of whether he can succeed in the future, he may not forget that on this cold winter day, Jonathan was the first person to fully believe that his ridiculous daydream would succeed.
As for why Jonathan is sure, it’s because he is a jerk
"Steve, I'm waiting for you here. You go to the supermarket to buy some stew ingredients and small cakes, and buy a small Christmas tree by the way. There are too many people in the supermarket, and it's not convenient to walk back and forth with the meat."
The supermarket really made a lot of money that day, because there was an endless stream of people coming and going because of the festival. After all, every household is celebrating the arrival of Christmas today, and some energetic young people even party all night long. Unlike the Eurasian continent, the United States is still in a state of singing and dancing within its borders at this time and watching the fire from across the shore.
However, Steve never expected that he would once again fall into trouble without taking the initiative to cause trouble. He had been beaten many times since he was a child. He will not run away, but will face it bravely. Although he may be a retard in the eyes of some viewers, he just wants to live his life.
"Kid, I don't want you to apologize, I want you to lick me clean."
"I can't possibly do what you said. All I can say is that I give you money to buy you clothes, or I apologize."
In the back alley of the supermarket, Steve, who was carrying a Christmas tree and a bag of cakes, was intercepted by a few arrogant young people. One of them had a large piece of sticky cake on his down jacket. of buttercream, and it was clear that the buttercream matched the cake in Steve's hands.
The supermarket was crowded, and any kind of crowding or collision could happen. Steve really couldn't bear to see a young man in a black down jacket deliberately taking advantage of a woman under such conditions. He didn't expect to find a group of people.
"What I do is my business. You little man has nothing to do with me. You don't know what it feels like to be beaten. Don't you know what pain feels like?" The young man in the black down jacket said to Steve His shoulder was pushed hard. Steve, who was fifteen or sixteen, only weighed about eighty kilograms. He staggered with this push, and the road was light. After swaying for a while, he finally fell into the garbage pile.
"Look at this little dwarf, he looks so good when he's lying in the garbage."
Steve clenched his fists tightly. Growing up, there were many people who bullied him because of his weak constitution, but he never escaped, and he never escaped once. Even if he was bruised and bruised, he still had to have the courage to fight. Every battle in life.
There is no doubt that Steve is such a person, otherwise he would not be selected in Team America 1. When everyone was avoiding a domestic grenade, Steve rushed up and suppressed this person with his body. A grenade, obviously this is the key step for the weak Steve to stand out among the many strong ones.
He is the lucky one chosen by God, but he also has his own advantages and disadvantages.
Again, if everyone in this world is a piece of jade, then everyone is flawed and incomplete, and they have to go through the polishing of this world.
"Ah I'm not afraid of you"
Steve gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, and rushed towards the leading young man who was 1.9 meters tall among the five people opposite him. He punched the young man in the chest with all his strength.
It's a pity that not only did the young man not move at all, but Steve felt a pain in his fist due to the impact. A series of jeers sounded around him. Amidst the loud laughter, Steve, who dreamed of being an upright soldier and a hero, suddenly felt dizzy.
"If you're not afraid, then you can hit me. If you dare to hit me here, I'll take off one of your legs." The young man looked at Steve ferociously, pointed at the left side of his face with a scar, and shouted. : "Fight, you idiot. If you can knock me down with one punch in this alley, I will let you go immediately."
Steve's eyes were red, and the veins in his clenched fists were exposed. Without hesitation, he hit the young man on the left side of his face. Steve's character is that he refuses to admit defeat. Even if he is beaten up from childhood to adulthood, he still has to live tenaciously with his dreams like a little strong boy.
He knows that this punch will not hurt the opponent and will still be laughed at, but he will never admit defeat.
The young man smiled proudly. Steve, a small man, was as strong as a mosquito. Even when he was punching, he could still hold it firmly with one hand.
砰
Steve punched out, and the young man, who weighed nearly 200 kilograms and over 1.9 meters, was actually knocked into the air. His feet were off the ground, and his whole body was in the air. His entire face was distorted due to the burst capillaries and blood vessels in his nose. The teeth dug into the inside of the cheek, causing blood to spurt from the nose and mouth.
砰
The young man landed heavily, causing a piece of floating snow to fly up. Amidst the flying snowflakes, his companions stared blankly at the scene in front of them, looking completely demented.
Even Steve was surprised. He stared at his fist in doubt, and most likely what he was thinking was: "Am I so awesome? Why don't I know it?"
