The old man changed the sail and dried his hands hastily on his trousers.
He jumped off the helm, his eyes swept back and forth between You Huan and Qin Qiu.
"Young man with strong body, why would you be so embarrassed to watch me as an old man with no strength?" The old man's exposed arm muscles are knotted, and the arm alone can be twice as thick as an ordinary person.
The power to fight back...
Qin Qiu said with a smile: "There are many injustices for chickens."
Old man: "..."
He was not angry, and gave Qin Qiu a stern look: "Don't hold your arms and do nothing, I'm most annoyed by young people holding their arms and raising their chins, oh and putting on a cold face, it's all pretence!"
Wandering innocently was implicated: "... What are you talking about."
The old man kicked a deck on the ground and said, "The shaft is a little rusty. I can't handle it alone. Help me open it. Otherwise, you stay on the deck and wait for the waves to come!"
Fine.
Wandering was speechless, and stretched out his feet to test the reality of the deck.
This move was purely out of inertia, and as a result, he stepped on Qin Jiu's shoe.
Confused: "… "
Qin Qiu: "Is it naive, this candidate?"
"I'll check the deck, why did you send your feet here?"
"It's a coincidence, so am I." Qin Qiu said.
He raised his shoes and took a few interviews, saying, "It's okay, there's an empty floor below. It's uneven on both sides, you can—"
While speaking, You Huo had already pulled out a thin iron hook from the junk pile beside him.
He chiseled the hook into the uneven deck.
With a snap, sawdust splashed.
The old man silently took two small steps back to the side.
I saw You Huo raised a long leg and stomped on the slanted iron hook.
click-
The whole deck was torn apart.
Qin Qiu was still wearing that pair of black leather gloves, and before Yu Huan could make a move, he had already bent down and put his hand into the raised gap, breaking it vigorously.
The whole deck was torn off.
Rusty hinges fell to the ground.
You Huo took the iron hook and glanced at Qin Qiu.
It's been a long time since he met someone who could keep up with the rhythm.
But the old man's face was already green.
…
That deck was actually a trapdoor.
After opening it, you can see the stairs leading to the cabin. There are kerosene lamps hanging around the cabin, and you can see the separate bunks inside.
…
The old man opened his mouth and was about to order something.
You Huo has patted his back and raised his chin: "Lead the way, thank you."
The old man stared again and closed his mouth.
The three of them got out of the cabin together and covered the broken deck again, and the inside of the boat was warmed up.
The old man ignored them, went into a single bunk by himself, and slammed the door shut in front of them.
The man was unconcerned, and within a minute, he was snoring loudly.
You Huo saw the dirty quilt and didn't want to touch it, so he found a chair in the cabin and sat down.
After a while, Qin Jiu also came over, with his fingers still on the tip of his nose, obviously not smoking lightly.
In this way, he did not forget to tease and perplex: "What day are you awake today?"
Confused: "… "
He glanced at Qin Jiu: "I put you on the bed to breathe for half an hour, what do you think?"
Qin Qiu laughed: "Alright, but I may drag you and share the blessings."
Wandering heart says fuck you.
"How much do you remember about the coachman on the sea?" Qin Chen asked.
He rested one elbow on the table, and the other hand was resting on the lamp, causing the flame to shake gently.
For the sake of the tacit understanding of prying the deck, You Huo replied, "Netherlands."
It's been so many years since he graduated from high school, and he didn't study liberal arts. He didn't touch history at all for the whole year of high school, so what he remembered was very limited.
In short, which century came, Holland was known as the sea coachman.
I can't remember the reason, but it seems to be because it's cheap.
Holland has pot-bellied cabins that can hold more cargo, cheaper rentals than other merchant ships, and is said to be very life-saving.
That was all he remembered about the sea coachman.
but…
"Do you remember the difference?" You Huo said again, "Will you test these properly?"
Qin Qiu: "If you are lucky, there is a one-in-a-thousand chance."
Youhuo said "ha": "Dreaming is faster."
Isn't this stupid than the characteristics of the system obvious enough? Typical where you will not be tested.
Even in the exam meeting, he turned nine and eighteen turns, which is very dishonest.
…
The hull of this ship, which is responsible for picking up people, is very small.
Within a few minutes of driving, the sea suddenly appeared wind and waves.
It was as if he had just left the simulated fake sea and finally entered the real sea.
The sea is rough.
They could hear the roar of thunderstorms through the heavy wooden cabin, and the occasional flash of electricity through the trapdoor.
The boat was thrown to the side and tossed.
Wandering a person who is not seasick is very unhappy, and Qin Qiu's face is also not good-looking.
In this extremely uncomfortable environment, they both fell asleep on the table without realizing it.
…
Wandering was awakened by the biting cold.
He opened his eyes suddenly and saw a gloomy sky.
Sky
He rolled over and sat up, realizing that he was no longer in the dirty cabin of the boat.
Beneath him was a barely even black reef covered with a layer of ice. The reef area was large, and Qin Jiu lay on his side.
This should be at sea, because behind them is an island of rubble, with nearly twenty wooden boats crooked around the island.
A dozen of them were the same as the one they were on, small and shabby.
Three others are much larger.
One of the three ships is crooked near Youyou.
It can be seen that the deck of this kind of ship is very narrow, but the cabin is very large, like a quick-frozen pot-bellied dumpling.
The lights hanging on the boat were all out, and some of the bows and masts were frozen. It could be seen that it had been moored for a while, and no one was there.
You Huo patted Qin Jiu twice, feeling strange in his heart.
He was awake, but this person still didn't respond...
The other party was photographed twice, squinting and waking up. He didn't notice the anomaly at first. This is enough to show that Qin Jiu really is not afraid of cold at all.
When he sat up pinching the bridge of his nose, he said to You Huo, "Morning..."
Youhuo wanted to engrave the early words on his face.
"You blow the air first, and then decide whether to continue greeting like this."
You Huo took a step to the side, and the wind blocked by him smothered Qin Qiu.
"… "
The effect was immediate, and the invigilator woke up instantly.
Qin Jiu stood up, covered his eyebrows with his gloves, and looked out.
As far as the eye can see, there are curls and white snow and ice everywhere, like polar ice fields.
"Still in the sea?" Qin Jiu said with a frown.
"Yeah." Wandering thumb pointed back and said, "There is an island behind."
Qin Qiu glanced around and said, "Go, go to the island and have a look."
…
After a while, You Huo, Qin Qiu... and Qin Qiu's suitcase stood in front of a cave on the island.
Someone pressed a piece of gray-white canvas at the entrance of the stone cave to mark it.
Uncomfortably, they thought it was a mass of snow pressing down on the canvas.
When I walked in, I found that there was an eye on the snow.
Qin Jiu frowned and recognized it, and said, "Arctic rabbit."
The Arctic hare had been dead for a long time, frozen with the canvas and covered in a layer of ice.
Youhuo was about to bend over to look, when the familiar voice of the system came from the body of the Arctic rabbit:
[All candidates have arrived at the examination room. 】
[This round of examinations is a large examination room, with a total of 36 candidates, divided into 18 groups based on the departure terminal, with two candidates in each group. The sum of the scores of the candidates in the group is the basis for the calculation of the grade of the test.]
[The scoring method of this game adopts the behavioral participation mode, there is no answer sheet, and there is no standard answer. In addition to the original points, there are opportunities for additional points and additional points for deduction. 】
[At the end of this exam, those with a combined score of C need to participate in the re-examination, and those with a rank of D will be eliminated together. 】
[The starting scores of each group of candidates are now announced as follows. 】
There was a clanging sound of chiseling stones both inside and outside the huge cave. In the blink of an eye, the names of 18 groups of candidates appeared on the flat stone surface above the polar rabbit's head.
Those names are grouped in pairs, with a bar next to them indicating their combined score.
The higher the score, the higher the level and the longer the bar.
The entire ranking is ranked in descending order of scores.
You Huo glanced at it, and the top-ranked combination scored 42 points.
Then a set of 40s, a set of 39.5s, a set of 35s…
down in order.
They saw Shu Xue's name at the lower end of the middle. She was in the same group as another candidate named Wu Li. The two scored a total of 26 points. They are currently ranked 12th, and their grade is tentatively set to be C.
Other than that, no acquaintances were found.
Yu Wen and his son are really not in this exam room, but if you think about it, maybe they encountered Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
As for You Huo, Qin Research...
The two daimyo were dignified and dignified, sinking in the penultimate position.
The invigilator No. 001 did not add but subtracted, and single-handedly pulled the group's total score to 17.25, dominating the D-level without any change.
The confused face is even colder than the Arctic hare.
Qin Qiu met his gaze, spread out his hands and said, "Thank you for helping the poor students. I didn't let me sit at the bottom. I decided to perform well and try to give you a face."
Confused: "… "
If such a bachelor, the system can't listen to a dead rabbit.
The system's voice interrupted him unceremoniously:
[Scores are updated in real time. If you have any questions unrelated to the answer to the test, you can ask the invigilator of this field at 154, 922, 078, and 021. 】
When You Huo heard 154 and 922, he glanced at Qin Qiu.
"It's also an invigilator, why do you look so happy when you hear 154 and 922." Qin Qiu asked.
"… Which eye do you see the fallacy?"
While speaking, the dead rabbit spoke again:
[The exam has officially started, and the exam questions are now played. 】
[In the winter of 1597, three Dutch merchant ships were trapped by the frozen sea while passing through Russia, and temporarily docked on an unnamed desert island, waiting for the long winter to pass. This is the 8th month of their life here, and there are 15 days until the end of the winter when the sea surface melts. All groups of candidates are invited to help all members of the merchant fleet return to the voyage smoothly. 】
[Title requirements: No crew member can be allowed to die, otherwise, the candidates in the last group at 0:00 a.m. on that day will bear the responsibility for death. 】
[If there are more than two deaths on the day, it will be postponed to the next day, and the candidates in the last group at 0:00 a.m. on that day will still bear the responsibility for the death, and so on, until the number of dead crew members is covered. 】
Liable for death
How to bear? in lieu of death? Or go to the funeral
Youhuo couldn't help but think of the villagers in Chasu Village, and his face was ugly.
Suddenly, he felt that the back of his hand was knocked twice.
Youhuo looked down and found that it was Qin Qiu's finger.
"Don't look at my hand, let you look at the hole over there." Qin Qiu said, raising his finger.
You Huo looked over and saw someone leaning out from the hole.
Those people wore thick gray cloth coats similar to the Middle Ages, brown wool vests, and some were surrounded by dirty animal skins, all of which looked like foreigners.
They described it as withered and withered, carrying a few people and walked out slowly.
"What's wrong?"
Youhuo looked at the person being carried, and his heart was stunned.
Those people's eyes were closed, their faces were gray and lifeless. Two are even hard...
The leader seemed to be able to understand a little Chinese. He turned his eyes dully, slowly looked at You Huo and Qin Qiu, and said in extremely poor Chinese, "Dead, crew."
Qin Qiu's voice sounded softly next to him: "It's a bit bad, 8 crew members died at the beginning."
The first-to-last group was simply not enough, and it was their second-to-last turn immediately.
