[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 22 [English]

☆, Chapter 22 Tombstone

“Yes, I’ve seen it.” The male villager grabbed You Huo’s hand.

He’s palms were as rough as sandpaper, making his skin sore, hard and cold.

Youhuo withdrew his hand, his face looking very ugly.

“Where have you seen it?” he asked, flexing his wrist.

The male villager stood there and thought blankly for two seconds.As if he didn’t hear the question, he repeated: “I must have seen it… I have seen it.”

“Hey, here we go again.” The woman who was about to cut the ice put down her chisel, sighed and said, “Don’t look outside, that’s what’s wrong with this guy.”

“What do you mean?”

“He’s not very good here.” The woman pointed to her head and explained: “It happens from time to time. When I start to get sick, I like to drag people and say I look familiar to you. Have I seen you somewhere? Or just ask people, do you know me? Do you remember me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the male villager grabbed Qin Jiu again and asked in a low voice: “You know me, do you remember me?”

Qin Jiu: “…”

The woman said, “Look! That’s it.”

“Why are you crazy?” Qin Jiu asked.

The woman thought about it for a moment, then shook her head and whispered, “It’s always been like this.”

She said hello, and two other people fetching water from the river came over, one holding up the male villager on the other.

“You guys should take him back first, he will probably go crazy for a while,” the woman said.

The two fellow villagers nodded and dragged the male villager into the house.

While being dragged, the male villager grabbed Yu Wen, who was closest to him, struggled and said, “I’ve seen it, I’ve really seen it.”

He has dark skin and dry lines all over his face, especially at the corners of his mouth and eyes.There are a few white hairs between the temples, which looks a bit vicissitudes of life.

Yu Wen was startled by he and felt a little pitiful.

He said: “Don’t be so pushy, right? How about I help you?”

The two villagers shook their heads: “It’s okay, no need. We are used to it. He is so strong when he goes crazy that you can’t hold him up. You can only drag him like this. And…”

One of them said bluntly: “You are Hei Po’s guests. We…well, we don’t really welcome strangers into our home.”

Soon, the male villager was dragged into a red-roofed house. The door was closed and there was no movement.

This episode made everyone look at each other in shock.

But these villagers are equivalent to NPCs in the game. It is difficult to say whether what happens between NPCs is a fixed daily plot.It would be unwise to intervene hastily before you understand the whole story.

So everyone saw it and did not act rashly.

Youhuo remembered the house and then looked away.

After chatting for a long time, we didn’t get close to each other.The boss lost his patience and stopped talking in circles. He simply asked: “Do any of you understand Gypsy?”

The woman began chipping away at the ice again.

She raised her hand high, and the chisel hit the ice hard, bringing up a layer of debris.

It was full of force every time.

This kind of scene makes people inexplicably scared, as if if there was a person lying there, she would dig in with such force.

She chiseled it several times, shook her head and said, “I don’t understand, no one understands.”

“But the village chief said that Hei Po is doing the work of death. If no one understands the Gypsy language, how can he communicate with her and let her do the work?” Old Yu couldn’t help but ask.

The woman said: “It’s all guests who come to see her, and we don’t use her. And she used to be alone. She had an old man and several children. She didn’t always speak Gypsy.”

Lao Maozi?Child?

Everyone felt that the key point of the question had been asked, and they suddenly became excited: “Is that a member of Hei Po’s family?”

The woman nodded: “Yes.”

“Where are they? Where have they gone?”

The woman shook her head: “I’m gone. I don’t know where I went. Maybe I went home? Anyway, I suddenly disappeared.”

“Does anyone know?”

The woman shook her head again and said, “No, how dare we ask about the black woman.”

Everyone became frustrated again.

Youhuo glanced at the setting sun in the distance and asked, “Is there a grave here?”

The woman’s hands chipping away at the ice paused.

She was quiet for a while, then suddenly looked up at everyone and started laughing.

With such a smile, her face became more vivid, but also creepy.

She raised her hand awkwardly and pointed casually: “Have you seen these woods?”

Everyone glanced around in a blink of an eye.

Stretching woods form an airtight circle, enveloping the entire mountain village.

The woman smiled and said, “The woods are graves. This circle of woods…are all graves.”

•

The setting sun completely sank behind the forest, and the last trace of afterglow disappeared.

The sky turned dark unconsciously.

The woman looked up and quickly picked up the iron bucket.

“Wait.” Youhuo grabbed her.

The woman struggled twice: “What are you doing?! It’s dark, don’t catch me! I want to go home!”

She was extremely strong, far beyond Youhuo’s expectation, so he accidentally let her break free.

The woman took a few steps back with the bucket and urged everyone: “You should go back to the house quickly. It’s getting dark!”

“What’s wrong when it gets dark? The village chief also said before that you won’t come out when it gets dark?”

The woman was trembling.

She wrapped her scarf tightly, glanced around, and then whispered: “It’s dark and there are ghosts everywhere. They will knock on your door, open your window, stand next to the bed or get under the bed. You have to be careful…”

After saying that, she put her index finger on her lips and said “shhh”.

“…”

Everyone was “shushed” by her with horror.

After the woman said this, she hurried away carrying the iron bucket.

Under the night, she walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye, her figure had already reached the house in the distance.

She opened the door, looked around, and then cautiously got into the house, keeping the doors and windows closed.

For a moment, everything was silent.

There were sporadic lights on in several houses, but the lights were too dim and occasionally swayed slightly, which made people even more uneasy.

Chen Bin rubbed his arms and said, “What should we do? We have no clue about the listening question. How about we… go back and study the recording again?”

This was said with desperation.

There is no translator, the villagers do not understand Gypsy, and it is said that ghosts knock on the door at night… How should they get the listening question?

•

“I’m going into the woods.”

Youhuo said suddenly.

“Where are you going in???” Old Yu was startled by his nephew, but before he could finish asking, You Huo’s rustling footsteps were already moving into the distance.

“Fuck.” Lao Yu didn’t dare to say bad words to his nephew, so he spat on the ground and shouted, “Wait a minute! Why don’t you get a lamp!”

Youhuo didn’t even turn around and waved his hand perfunctorily.

Everyone: “…”

Lao Yu hurriedly asked: “Who is it! Bring a flashlight! A mobile phone will do! I ran out of battery in the afternoon. My mother… I can’t watch him dig into the graveyard alone!”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

The recording was played over and over again in the afternoon, draining everyone’s mobile phone battery.

Don’t dare to use the remaining bit for lighting, otherwise it will shut down completely within a few minutes.

“Where are the veterans! You two? Do you have a flashlight?” Old Yu looked at Chen Bin and Liang Yuanhao again.

Liang Yuanhao: “No.”

Chen Bin waved his hand awkwardly: “There are some rest areas for sale, but… our scores are too poor, so we don’t dare to buy them.”

“Then what…” Yu Wen suddenly said, handing over a long and thin object, “I boldly… bought a fluorescent stick for 0.5 cents, can it be used?”

Lao Yu went up and said, “I’ve bought everything, so why don’t you buy some fluorescent sticks? It’s also good to buy a box of matches!”

Yu Wen shouted: “I have read too many novels…there are places where open flames cannot be used.”

He took the fluorescent stick and dragged Lao Yu to chase Youhuo.

Yu Yao said softly: “I…I’ll go too.”

A group of people followed Youhuo and ran away, leaving only Liang Yuanhao and Chen Bin in a daze.

“Are they… so reckless in taking the exam???” Chen Bin murmured, “Then shall we go?”

Liang Yuanhao said solemnly: “As I said, there are all graves there. If you want to go, you can go, I’m going back to the house.”

•

It was so quiet in the woods, there wasn’t even a bird.

Youhuo stepped on a few branches and kicked them behind.

Qin Jiu snorted lukewarmly and said in a drawl: “Can you be a little more civic-minded? There are people behind you.”

You Huo said nothing and kicked back a few broken branches.

Qin Zhu said “tsk”.

Youhuo had his pockets in his pocket, and visiting the cemetery was like visiting a park, as if the dark environment would not hinder him.

“Are you sure you don’t want a lamp? I can lend it to you.” Qin Jiu said.

Youhuo: “My night vision is very good, so I don’t have to worry about it. Can you shut up and be quiet for a while?”

Qin Jiu: “I don’t want to.”

Youhuo ignored him.

After walking in the forest for a while, Qin Jiu stopped and said, “Who is calling the soul?”

Youhuo listened for a moment and heard Yu Wen’s trembling voice: “Brother – brother, where are you -”

You can vaguely see a piece of green stuff, reflecting the faces of several people.

Youhuo folded a few branches on the spot, took out a lighter and lit it.

“Over there, over there! I saw it!” Yu Wen saw the fire and rushed over screaming.

Lao Yu held on to the tree and gasped, “Hey… you… ancestor, what are you looking for?”

Youhuo said, “Just take a look.”

Everyone turned green.

“…Then, did you see anything? If not, how about we go back first?” Lao Yu said tentatively.

Youhuo drew the branch to his feet: “Look, there is a row of graves.”

Everyone was startled and looked towards the place illuminated by the fire.

He saw Youhuo’s toes touching a piece of ground, with a row of tombstones lined up on the ground.

There are strange words engraved on the stele, which look like letters and round earthworms.This is very similar to the words on the monument at the entrance of the village. It can be seen that they were all carved by Hei Po.

Yu Wen looked confused: “How did you find a place like this?”

“Hei Po came into this forest in the afternoon.” You Huo knelt down and suddenly waved to Yu Wen: “Does your phone still have some battery left?”

“A little bit.”

“Take a photo and copy it on the black woman’s door.”

Everyone was stunned: “What?”

Are you mad at the black woman??

Youhuo asked, “What’s on the tombstone?”

Lao Yu said: “The deceased’s name, photo, date of birth and death.”

Youhuo’s face was expressionless.

Lao Yu’s desire for survival burst out, and he added: “There are also relatives of the deceased, who carved it.”

Everyone: “…”

Yes!This monument was carved by Hei Po!

Hei Po’s name must be in the inscription!

The author has something to say: I got off the high-speed rail and came back a little late~

The author’s desire to survive: I can write this volume until the past, okay? []
