The proportion of V chapters purchased was insufficient,
So the new chapter was eaten by Taotie. I'll refresh it later ~
"... What about the Internet?" Yu Wen poked at the phone screen,
A little anxious. "Is it because I didn't put enough words in the vocabulary? Is the Internet useful? Can the invigilator help with this? "
Everyone heard this and looked at Qin Jiu.
The invigilator stood in front of the cupboard in the corner of the living room, looking at the incense burner in boredom. He seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. Without turning his head, he said, "You didn't draw the reward card. Why are you looking at me?"
The incense in the room was too strong.
He unscrewed the lid of the burner, picked out the smelly thing, and threw it aside. During this process,
His slender fingers fiddled with the burner, completely unafraid of the heat.
Everyone listened to his words and looked at You Huo eagerly.
But before You Huo could speak, Yu Wen, who was the first to propose, slowly calmed down. "Forget it,
The vocabulary should be all,
I'm just asking... several versions of translation software don't have Gypsy, so even if it's connected to the Internet,
They might not be able to find it. If they really can't find anything, it will be a waste of a card. "
Chen Bin looked around,
He couldn't help but ask, "What card? I've been hearing you mention it since I joined the team, but I've been too embarrassed to ask. "
When the card was drawn, the whole team watched,
They all knew what they needed to know,
There was nothing to hide.
Everyone explained the use of the reward card to Chen Bin.
Chen Bin was dumbfounded. "... there's really a reward? I've only heard of it in rumors before,
I thought it was a lie. What did you do? How did you get the chance? "
Everyone looked ashamed,
They thought to themselves that it was all due to the system's randomness that gave them a Golden Thigh.
Chen Bin was a sensible person. Seeing everyone's different expressions, he didn't ask much.
He glanced at Leung Won-ho and found that the other party's lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was very ugly. In fact, his own expression wasn't any better.
Although they had never seen the reward board with their own eyes, they had heard of it.
No matter what the reason was, it only proved one thing — this team was very powerful.
In other words, there was a very powerful person in this team.
It went without saying who this powerful person was.
Unfortunately, the two of them had just made the opposite choice from the big boss.
Chen Bin nudged Leung Won-ho lightly. While the others were discussing, he whispered to him, "Do you regret it?"
Leung Won-ho pulled a long face and said gruffly, "The consequences haven't been revealed yet. Correct once and correct every time? Anyway, I don't regret it. "
"I have a little." Chen Bin looked distressed as he stared blankly at the ground.

"Brother, should we ask the invigilator for help?" Yu Wen asked.
"I'm not looking."
You Huo was sitting on the armrest of the sofa, playing with his phone.
Qin Jiu closed the lid of the incense burner again.
He casually pulled out a colored towel, wiped his fingers clean, and then calmly walked behind You Huo. With both hands on the back of the sofa, he said, "You're really not looking? I've been holding on to this card for a long time. I really can't wait to use it. "
You Huo didn't even raise his head. He sneered as a reply.
Qin Jiu was even more interested.
This candidate was really interesting. He didn't hesitate to ask small questions within the normal range. He wasn't polite at all when ordering the invigilator. But when it came to the help card, he wouldn't use it no matter what. It was as if asking for help was lowering his head.
A hard bone to chew.
Invigilator 001 commented in his heart.
·
You Huo tapped on his phone a few times. Black Lady's girlish voice sounded in the room again.
This didn't sound like English. Everyone knew English. Even if they didn't learn it well, they could listen to it a few times and slow it down a little.
They really didn't know anything about Gypsy. Even if they played this recording on loop for an entire day, they wouldn't be able to understand it.
They stood in the living room in silence, hopelessly surrounded by the sounds of birds.
·
That sentence was played more than ten times. Suddenly, someone snapped their fingers.
Everyone snapped back to reality. "Who is it? What's wrong? "
It was actually Mike who snapped his fingers.
He listened to the last two sentences of the Black Woman's speech with his mouth open and motionless. Then he cried out in agitation.
Because he spoke too fast, it sounded like gibberish.
Lao Yu and the others were stunned for a long time. They turned to You Huo and asked, "What did he say?"
You Huo frowned and said, "He said Black Lady's Gypsy is mixed with Persian and Russian words."
He turned to Mike and asked, "Are you sure?"
As a mixed-blood of four countries, although Mike didn't look very mixed-blood, he still had a good grasp of the language. He slowed down and explained that his grandfather was from Russia. Although he wasn't proficient in Russian, his vocabulary was okay. As for Persian, he had taken it on a whim during his college days.
Gypsy people were often influenced by the people they lived in during their migration, so they often brought foreign words into their language.
They also learned the local language, just like how Black Lady could understand the candidates' Chinese.
The village chief said that Black Lady came here with the Russians to escape the war. Presumably, she was influenced by her Russian companions. Her language was mixed.
Perhaps she didn't even realize it herself.
·
Hearing this, everyone immediately became excited.
Yu Wen stared at Mike like a big dog and said, "Come on! Say it! What did you hear? "
Hearing this question, Mike was a little embarrassed.
His slightly chubby face flushed pink. "Uh" several times before he choked out a few words.
"Grave."
"Flower."
"Needle."
"Sun."
You Huo looked at Mike and turned to everyone. "That's it."
Everyone: "…"
"What's the question again?" Lao Yu asked.
Yu Wen said expressionlessly, "1. What's the name of the Black Lady? 2. Where's the Black Lady's family? 3. How many people are in the Black Lady's house?"
These four words, which one could answer …
The hope that had been ignited with great difficulty was extinguished again.
Everyone's craned necks shrank back, their faces gloomy.
·
The sun unknowingly slanted to the west, hiding behind the forest and dipping into a dim afterglow.
Yu Yao, who was sitting by the window, suddenly opened the curtain and said softly, "Villagers …"
"Huh?" Yu Wen leaned over. "What villagers?"
Yu Yao completely opened the curtain and pointed to the small stone round window. "There are people coming out from the other side of the river. They should be villagers, right?"
The frozen river glowed in the evening. On the other side of the river, two or three figures were coming out of the house, carrying baskets and carefully moving towards the river.
"It's true." Chen Bin muttered, "The village chief said that they would come out in the evening. The more people, the more lively, right? But … "
How could two or three people be lively???
·
In any case, where there were people, there were clues.
You Huo put on a black down jacket, pulled the zipper up to his chin, and covered the lower half of his face. He lifted his feet and went out the door.
The others followed one after another.
Qin Jiu walked unhurriedly beside You Huo, half a step behind him.
"Clothes bought with marks?"
You Huo narrowed his eyes and looked at him from the narrow slits.
"Although I've received a few gifts from you, I'm a very generous person. I don't mind giving you a few words of advice. "
Qin Jiu put his hands in his coat pockets and slowly walked side by side with him across the frozen river. "The number of people who can pass this exam can be counted on one hand. Anyway, I've been invigilating the exam for so long, and I haven't seen many. For the average examinee, it's best not to waste marks in the early stages. "
You Huo's straight nose was covered under his collar, but it still formed a cloud of white mist when he breathed.
He walked to the other side of the river, and his light-colored eyes moved, and his gaze fell on a middle-aged woman not far away.
The woman was dressed in a typical winter outfit, wearing extremely long winter clothes that wrapped from neck to feet, and a large scarf that almost buried her entire head.
She awkwardly squatted down by the river and called to the man beside her, "Come, cut the ice."
You Huo looked at her for a while, and threw a sentence to Qin Jiu, "Leave the general advice for others, I don't need it."
With that, he walked towards the two villagers.
·
The two villagers were slightly stunned when they saw You Huo. Then, their frozen faces slowly smiled, "Are you a new guest? The village chief mentioned it to us. "
You Huo glanced at the village chief's house, and the doors and windows were tightly shut.
"Yes, I just arrived this morning," he replied.
The villager nodded, but was not very enthusiastic, "You live on the other side of the river?"
"Yes."
The villagers, "…"
The man and woman were silent for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you have anything to ask us? You must be unfamiliar with the village for the first time, right? "
You Huo looked up, "It's okay."
The two people, "…"
They looked at each other for a moment, then squatted down to dig the ice on the river. After two chisels, they glanced at You Huo.
"You went to Black Lady's place?" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask.
You Huo nodded, "Yes, we stayed there for the whole afternoon."
"Oh … What did you do?"
You Huo said, "I made a few Dolls, I don't know if you've seen them."
The two villagers paused for a moment, and they shrank a little.
You Huo said again, "There are also a few who didn't make them."
To his surprise, the villagers shrank back again.
After a moment, the woman looked up and said, "No, usually only guests visit Black Lady. We rarely go to the other side of the river. "
You Huo asked, "Guests came here before?"
The woman nodded, "They came here before, similar to you. They always came in groups."
You Huo asked, "What happened to them later?"
The woman was confused for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "I don't think … I saw them leave."
When the candidates who had just crossed the river heard this, they almost fell into the river.
Qin Jiu walked to You Huo, lowered his head slightly, and said, "You're really a genius at getting close to people."
You Huo, "…"
He was about to talk back when the iron basin in the villager's hand suddenly fell on the ice with a clang.
The two of them looked over and saw that the man stared at You Huo's eyes for a few seconds, then stared at Qin Jiu for a few seconds, and said slowly, "I think … I've seen you somewhere before."
You Huo was stunned, "Who? Us? "
He was a little taller than You Huo, and if he stood up straight, he would hit the roof, so he could only keep his head down.
"On the bed? The bedpost is just enough to fix the rope. It's definitely wide enough, but it's a little short. "
Qin Jiu shook the bedpost, wanting to test its sturdiness. As soon as he turned his head, he saw You Huo's "perish together" face.
If Yu Wen or Lao Yu saw You Huo's expression, they would definitely run away, but Qin Jiu laughed.
His low laughter was muffled in his throat, and he said, "Well, it's not that clean, and the bedpost is a little thin, so there's a high chance that it won't be tied … This place isn't big, what do you want?"
