"Oh right! Did Mike hear the word 'grave' when he listened to the recording last time? He will, right? "
At the critical moment..,
Yu Wen's memory suddenly lit up.
He jumped up to look for someone. "Where's Mike?! Where is he? "
"He's still unconscious on the sofa!" Lao Yu went straight to the room.
Mike's reaction to the incense smell of the grove was particularly big. After coming back, he vomited twice,
He was settled in the room by everyone and hadn't woken up yet.
Everyone was confident before, so they didn't wake him up.
Who knew that such a thing would happen at the critical moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Old Yu went up and slapped Mike twice. It took a lot of effort to wake him up.
Mike's dizziness hadn't subsided yet, so he opened his eyes and retched twice.
“Help！ Help！ Help！”
Lao Yu took out the only English he could speak,
He dragged Mike out.
·
In front of the Black Lady's door, the bone pen to answer the question was held in You Huo's hand.
He wrote very quickly and finished copying the tombstone within two minutes.
In order to save time,
He also omitted the name of the Black Lady.
When he saw Mike coming over,
He drew the last line heavily,
He stuffed the bone pen to the other party. "Write."
In the last two cries of the crow, Mike added the word "grave" next to it.
..
Fortunately, they made it in time.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's like the speed of life and death..." Yu Wen touched his heart, and the heart that was stuck in his throat fell back down,
"I hope this tombstone will mention the location,
And not simply that so-and-so is buried here. "
But it didn't matter,
Even if the tombstone didn't mention it, there was still Mike's word.
With double insurance, they would definitely be able to step on it.
Everyone thought to themselves.
They waited for a long time, and finally there was a change in the answer area.
The system's grading results came out..
It was a cross.
The bright red cross landed there,
On its left was the tombstone inscription,
On the right was the grave written by Mike.
The meaning was obvious: both were wrong.
Everyone, including You Huo, was stunned,
This result was too unexpected.
"Wrong? How is that possible? "
"The system malfunctioned? Did the judges make a mistake? "
No one could figure out why this question was wrong.
You Huo stared at the answer wall and frowned.
Both the inscription and the words were wrong. If it was not a mistake, then it meant one thing — this was the tomb of the Black Lady's family, but they were not in the tomb.
His gaze moved and fell on question (3) of listening comprehension.
Question (3): How many people are in Black Lady's room?
You Huo: "…"
Q: Is it possible for a person who is passionate about superstitious activities to leave a dead family member in the house?
Answer: What wouldn't an old witch do?!
Before everyone could recover from their shock, the answer section refreshed with new content.
Regretful Notice: The System was unable to detect any points from the answers.
Punishment result: Randomly choose an examinee to enter the coffin.
When this line of words slowly refreshed, You Huo patted Qin Jiu's shoulder.
Qin Jiu tilted his head and looked from his fingers to his face, "Let me guess, our Mr. Hum finally asked for help?"
You Huo: "…"
Who's with you guys?
Unless he had no other choice, he did not want to use that help card.
But the current situation was indeed a headache.
He did not know who the System would randomly choose, nor did he know if there was a loophole.
If it was really troublesome …
While he was thinking, another line of words refreshed under the punishment result.
Note: The funerals in Chasu Village are always held late at night. We follow the tradition here, so the punishment will be carried out tonight.
Tonight?
The punishment this time was different from the previous exam. It was not carried out immediately.
You Huo immediately withdrew his hand from Qin Jiu's shoulder.
Qin Jiu: "?"
You Huo said, "It's still early. We'll talk about it later."
Qin Jiu: "…"
He looked at You Huo for a while and said, "I think it's necessary to give you a small reminder. When the System carries out the punishment, it will not notify you, nor will it tell you who it has chosen a few seconds in advance. It's very possible that you are talking face to face, and one of you disappears. "
"If it's you who disappears, how are you going to ask for help?" Qin Jiu asked.
"The invigilator of the 922 said that if you need help, you can just write 001," You Huo said.
Qin Jiu: "…"
"Since we're here, I'll ask." You Huo mocked, "I heard that it has to be written on the answer sheet? What kind of stupid rule is that? "
There was no problem in the Hunter's Hut because the space there was small, and it was only a few steps to the answer sheet.
But in an examination hall like Chasu Village or a bigger place, it was too unreasonable to have to go in a big circle to find an invigilator.
Qin Jiu said, "922? I have to mark it down. But that's the way to find an ordinary invigilator. "
You Huo: "… What about someone like you who claims to be the main invigilator?"
"Oh, there are many ways then." Qin Jiu smiled, "You can try to write it anywhere in the examination hall and see if I'll know."
You Huo: "… Am I crazy?"
·
When the results of the punishment came out, everyone was barely glad that they had at least half a day to buffer.
It was only in the afternoon that they realized that the pre-announcement punishment was even more torturous than the immediate punishment.
It was like a knife on the neck, the sharp edge close to the skin, but the executioner said, "Sorry, it's not time yet. You can wait a little longer."
As usual, Black Lady made them sew the Doll, and she would not stop until all the candidates were cut up.
Everyone's thoughts had already flown away, and they were all sitting on pins and needles.
They were too absent-minded and did not even notice the abnormal behavior of a certain big boss.
While everyone was still worried, he fished out a few dolls from the bamboo basket, and then casually plucked out a needle.
Other people paid attention to the stitching of the Doll. Even if they were not evenly sewn, they would at least sew a row of them. He, on the other hand, sewed one needle after another until he finished stringing an arm.
…
When everyone finally saw him, there was already a row of dolls in front of this big boss.
Counting, there were a total of eight dolls.
Lao Yu almost knelt down in front of him, "… What are you doing?"
You Huo finished the ninth doll in two or three strokes, and said without looking up, "Making some preparations."
He prepared until the hourglass ran out of time.
Black Lady saw 16 Doll as soon as she entered the room, and her old face froze.
She had been doing questions for so long, and this was the first time she met such a customer. She was speechless.
She looked at You Huo as if she was looking at a lunatic.
After a long while, Black Lady muttered in a low voice and slowly filled the wooden shelf with the 16 new Doll.
·
Night came faster than the previous two days.
Taking advantage of the fact that the villagers had not yet entered the house, everyone crossed the frozen river to find them.
"You guys are still here …" The female villager held a basin of broken ice and took the initiative to greet them.
However, the content of the greeting could not be thought about.
Lao Yu, who had Boss You's imperial edict on his head, went straight to the point, "Sister, I want to ask you something!"
The female villager reacted for a moment and said, "What is it?"
"I heard that there is a custom in the village that funerals can only be held at night?"
"Yes."
"Oh, then is burial or cremation popular here?" Lao Yu asked again.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, she fell into a daze.
At that moment, her head tilted slightly, as if she wanted to look somewhere in the forest.
However, she quickly returned to her original state and said blankly, "Burial. Not cremation, not cremation. "
"Why?" You Huo suddenly interrupted.
The woman tilted her head and thought for a moment, "No reason, the custom is not cremation."
You Huo muttered to himself.
Lao Yu asked again, "Then if you want to place a coffin … where do you usually place it?"
The woman said, "In the forest."
"I know it's in the forest." Old Yu thought to himself, 'Isn't this nonsense?' He patiently explained, "What I mean is, isn't this circle of trees already occupied? I want to ask where is relatively empty, and where is the place to place the coffin. You can't be stacked one on top of the other, right? "
"Oh, that won't happen." The woman thought for a moment, then pointed to the east and west sides and said, "That one, and this one, are still empty."
Everyone hurriedly memorized the places.
Lao Yu wanted to ask more, but the woman glanced at the sky and said, "It's going to be dark again, I have to hurry back to the house. You guys should go back too, don't run around, and don't enter the forest. "
With that, she grabbed the iron basin and ran away in a panic.
The sound of the door closing rang out one after another, and the village instantly returned to silence.
Lao Yu said angrily, "With this kind of courage, setting the funeral at night … Don't you think the system is bullshitting? These villagers don't even dare to go out at night, how can they go to the forest for a funeral! "
"If the question says so, then so be it. This place can't be judged by common sense. "Chen Bin muttered.
In any case, they at least figured out the location of the burial.
When someone was punished to enter the coffin, they would be able to find some clues.
·
After bidding farewell to the villagers, everyone did not return to their houses.
You Huo's house had unknowingly become their headquarters, and everyone gathered there.
The night gradually thickened.
They gnawed on dry bread as they discussed what to do at night.
"If you want to go into the forest, it's best to bring some handy tools." Yu Wen raised his hand and suggested, "On one hand, it's for self-defense, and on the other hand … what if we get lucky and catch a ghost hand?"
"I found hemp rope in the house. There should be a knife in each house, but I don't know if it can beat a bone-chopping knife. "Lao Yu said," Also, if you want to dig a coffin, you'll need a shovel, right? "
He turned his head as he spoke, subconsciously seeking You Huo's approval.
Unexpectedly, the single-seater sofa behind him was empty, and You Huo, who was sitting on it, was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is he? He was just here … "Lao Yu said doubtfully.
Everyone looked at the empty armchair.
The house was silent for ten seconds, and then suddenly exploded.
"F * ck?!" Yu Wen couldn't wait to find him, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother? Where are you? "
He asked three times in a row, but there was no response.
The scariest thing was that Qin Jiu was still there.
During the examination, wherever You Huo went, the personal invigilator would have to follow.
The only exception … was the system's punishment.
They suddenly remembered Qin Jiu's words in the morning, "You may be talking face to face, and the other party will disappear."
Who the hell would've thought that the system could be so coincidental that Golden Thigh would disappear.
·
At this moment, Golden Thigh was lying in a small space.
He couldn't straighten his legs, raise his hands, and have limited oxygen.
Needless to say, he was the lucky guy who "randomly entered the coffin".
He wasn't surprised by this result, or rather, he wasn't surprised by any of the results. This was because when he sewed the Doll in the afternoon, he had already thought of two preparations.
If someone else entered the coffin, he could use the help card if he had no other choice.
If he entered the coffin himself … he might not even have to use the help card.
In the darkness, You Huo reached out and touched the coffin wall. It was damp and cold, and it exuded the heavy smell of soil.
He guessed that the coffin was placed under a muddy area in the forest.
The forest was so large that even if he had a general area, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It was always difficult to find someone.
But … he couldn't be sure about other things.
·
In the forest on the east side of the mountain village, Lao Yu and the others each carried a bundle of hemp rope and held a torch as they searched around.
Suddenly, they stopped in their tracks.
Lao Yu nervously made a "shh" gesture.
Everyone held their breaths as they heard the familiar crawling sound of ropes.
But tonight's crawling sound was a little special. It didn't seem to be crawling towards the village. Instead … it seemed to be heading towards the middle of the forest.
Seconds later, Yu Wen whispered, "Holy shit … look over there!"
He pointed to the front.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and they immediately went crazy — —
More than a dozen ghostly hands and feet swarmed over from all directions and gathered in an open space in front of them.
They waved their machetes and spoke eerily, "Did you sew the Doll today?"
Six feet under the yellow soil, You Huo replied in the thin air, "Not bad, I sewed 16."
"… …"
