Chapter 38: Open question

The old man changed his sails and wiped his hands on his pants.
He jumped off the helm, his gaze sweeping back and forth between temptation and Qin Chen.
"How can a young man who is strong and fit look at me as an old man with no chickens?" The arm muscles of the old man's arms were knotted. On the shirt alone, ordinary people could be twice as thick.
Fight back the power of chickens ...
Qin Chen laughed and said, "Nothing is wrong with chickens."
Old man: "..."
He didn't get angry and gave Qin Chen a grim look: "Don't hold your arms unintentionally, I'm the most annoying young man to raise my chin with my arms, oh and put a cold face on!
Convinced the innocent to be implicated: "... help what to say."
The old man kicked a deck on the ground and said, "The hinge is a bit rusty. I can't figure it out by myself. Help me open it. Otherwise, you just stay on the deck and wait for the waves to flutter!"
Fine.
Confused and speechless, stretch out your feet and try the deck.
This move was purely inertia, and he stepped on Qin Chen's shoe.
Bewildered: "..."
Qin Chen: "Is this childish, this candidate?"
"I checked the deck. What did you do with your feet?"
"It happened, so did I." Qin Chen said.
He raised his shoes and interviewed a few places and said, "OK, below is the empty floor. The two sides are uneven, okay--"
During the conversation, Youhao had drawn a thin iron hook from the clutter beside the pile of debris.
He chiseled the hook into the uneven deck.
With a slam, the sawdust splashed.
The old man silently stepped back two steps.
Seeing that Youyou raised a long leg and stepped on the oblique hook.
Click--
There was a crack in the deck.
Qin Chen was still wearing those black leather gloves, and before he was able to move, he bent down and put his hands into the raised gap.
The entire deck was lifted.
The rusty hinge dangd to the ground.
Wandering with an iron hook, Yuzu glanced at Qin Chen.
It's been a long time since he met anyone who could keep up.
But the old man's face was already green.
That deck is actually a trapdoor.
After opening, you can see the stairs leading to the cabin. There are kerosene lamps hanging around the cabin, and you can see the separated bunks inside.
The old man opened his mouth and was about to command.
Youyou has patted him on the back and lifted his chin: "Lead the way, thank you."
The old man stared again and closed his mouth.
The three got out of the cabin together and covered the bad deck again, and the boat warmed up immediately.
The old man didn't care about them either. He entered a single room and closed the door in front of them.
The man was unmindful, and within a minute, he was in a thunderous voice.
Confused at the dirty quilt, he didn't want to touch it, and found a chair in the cabin to sit down.
After a while, Qin Chen came over, and his fingers were still touching the tip of his nose, apparently not too light.
In this way he did not forget to tease and bewilder: "What day are you awake today?"
Bewildered: "..."
He glanced at Qin Chen: "I hold you on that bed for half an hour, what do you think?"
Qin Chen laughed and said, "It's okay, but I might drag you to enjoy it."
Goofy to your mother.
"How much do you remember about the coachman at sea?" Qin asked.
He rested his elbow on the table and the other hand was idle on the lamp, shaking the flame gently.
For the tacit understanding of the pry deck, he replied, "Netherlands."
It has been many years since he graduated from high school. He didn't study liberal arts. He didn't touch history at all in high school year, so what he can remember is limited.
In short, for centuries, the Netherlands is known as a seaman.
The reason is confusing, and it seems to be cheap.
The Netherlands has potbelly cabins that can hold more cargo, and cheaper rents than other merchant ships are said to be very life-threatening.
That's all he knew about the coachman at sea.
but……
"Remember that there is a difference?" Youyou said, "Will you consider these rules?"
Qin Chen: "If you are lucky, there is a one in a thousand chance."
Confused "Oh", "Dream is faster."
Isn't that stupid enough than the characteristics of the system? Where is the typical test will not be.
Even the exam, it turned ninety-eight and eighteen turns, which is not honest.
The hull of the person in charge is very small.
After less than a few minutes of driving, sudden waves appeared on the sea surface.
It's like just leaving the simulated fake sea and finally entering the real sea.
The sea is rough.
They could hear the roar of thunderstorms across the heavy wooden cabin, and occasionally a light flashed through the trapdoor.
The boat was swung crookedly.
The person who did not confuse a seasick was very unhappy, and Qin Chen's face was equally unsightly.
In this extremely uncomfortable environment, they actually fell asleep on the table and were unaware of it.
Wandering was awakened by the biting cold.
He opened his eyes sharply and saw the gloomy sky.
sky?
He turned to sit up and found that he was no longer in the dirty cabin of the boat.
Under him was a barely flat black reef covered with a layer of ice. The reef area is very large, Qin Chen lay on his side.
This should be at sea, because behind them is an isolated island made of rocks, and around the island leaned nearly twenty wooden boats.
A dozen of them were the same as the one they were on, small and worn.
Three more are much larger.
One of the three ships was crooked in the vicinity.
It can be seen that the deck of this ship is very narrow, but the cabin is very large, like a frozen belly dumpling.
The lights on the boat were off, and some bows and masts were frozen, and it was seen that they had been moored for a while, and no one was there.
Yougu took Qin Chen twice, her heart was strange.
He was awake, but the man didn't respond ...
The other side was photographed twice, squinting and waking. He was initially unaware of the anomaly. This also shows that Qin Chen is not afraid of cold at all.
When he sat up holding the bridge of his nose, he confided and said, "Early ..."
Yuzu wanted to carve the early words on his face.
"You blow first before deciding whether to continue saying hello like this."
Wandering took a step to the side, and the wind blocked by him covered his face to Qin.
"..."
The results were immediate, and the proctor was instantly sober.
Qin Chen stood up, covered his eyebrows with gloves and looked out.
As far as I can see, curled white ice and snow are everywhere, like polar ice fields.
"Still at sea?" Qin Chen frowned.
"Well." The convoluted thumb pointed backwards: "The island is behind."
Qin Chen glanced around and said, "Go, take a look at the island."
After a while, you were confused, Qin Chen ... and Qin Chen's suitcase stood in front of a stone cave on the island.
Someone pressed a gray canvas at the door of the cave to mark it.
It is uncomfortable that they originally thought that it was a mass of snow holding down the canvas.
I walked in and found an eye on the snow.
Qin Chen frowned and recognized it, saying, "The Arctic Rabbit."
The Arctic rabbit had been dead for a long time, frozen with canvas, and sealed by a layer of ice.
Wandering was about to bend over to see, the familiar voice came from the body of the Arctic rabbit:
[All candidates have arrived at the test room. 】
[This round of examinations is a large-scale examination room, with a total of 36 candidates. They are 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 exam.
[This field scoring method uses a behavioral participation model. There are no answer cards and no standard answers. In addition to the original score, there are opportunities for extra points and the possibility of additional deductions. 】
[At the end of this exam, the combination score ranking c needs to participate in the re-examination, and the ranking d is eliminated together. 】
[The starting scores for each group of candidates are announced below. 】
At the same time, inside and outside the huge stone cave, a jingling stone chirping sounded. In a blink of an eye, the names of 18 groups of candidates appeared on the flat stone surface above the Arctic rabbit's head.
Those names are in pairs, with a bar next to them, indicating their total score.
The higher the score, the higher the level and the longer the bar.
The entire ranking is ranked from highest to lowest score.
Youyou glanced at, and the top combination scored 42 points.
Then a group of 40 points, a group of 39.5 points, a group of 35 points ...
Go down one by one.
They saw Shu Xue's name at the bottom of the middle. She and the other candidate named Wu Li were in the same group. They totaled 26 points and are currently ranked 12th.
Other than that, no acquaintances were found.
Yu Wen's father and son were really not in the examination room, but for the better, maybe they encountered Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.
As for confusion, Qin Chen ...
These two big names are dignified and solemn, sinking in the penultimate position.
The proctor No. 001 did not decrease, and pulled the team's total score to 17.25 with his own strength, and he was still dominating the d-class.
The confused face is frozen than the Arctic Rabbit.
Qin Chen met his gaze and spread his hand and said, "Thank you for the top students for helping the poor. I didn't let me sit down first. I decided to perform well and try to give you a longer face."
Bewildered: "..."
Such a bachelor can't listen to the dead rabbit.
The system's voice interrupted him politely:
[The scores are updated in real time. If you have any questions that are not related to the answer to the exam, you can ask the proctor 154, 922, 078, and 021. 】
When you heard 154 and 922, Chao Qin looked at it.
"It's also an invigilator, why do you look happy when you hear 154 and 922." Qin asked.
"... what's wrong with your eyes?"
Between words, the dead rabbit spoke again:
[This exam officially begins, and now the exam questions are being 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 unknown desert island until the long winter passed. This is the eighth month of their life here, and there are 15 days before the end of winter when the sea surface is icing. Please invite each group of candidates to help all members of the merchant fleet return to the voyage smoothly. 】
[Question requirement: Do not let any crew member die, otherwise, the candidates who ranked in the last group at 0am on the same day shall bear the responsibility for death. 】
[If there are more than two deaths on that day, it will be postponed to the next day, and the candidates in the last group at 0am on that day will still be responsible for death, and so on, until the number of dead crew members is covered. 】
Take responsibility for death?
How to bear it? Instead of death? Or go to a funeral?
Youhao couldn't help thinking of the villagers in Chasu Village, his face was hard to look at.
Suddenly, he felt the back of his hand being knocked twice.
Youhao looked down and found that it was Qin Chen's finger.
"Don't look at my hand, let you see the opening over there." Qin Chen said, raising his finger.
Looking at it in confusion, he saw that someone was out of the hole.
Those people wore thick grey cloth, brown woolen vests similar to the Middle Ages, and some were surrounded by dirty animal skins, all looking foreigners.
They described the withering, with a dumb look, and carried a few people out slowly.
"what happened?"
Confused looking at the person being lifted, his heart twitched.
Those people's eyes were closed tightly, their faces were grey and lifeless. Two of them are even hard ...
The headed person seemed to be able to understand a little Chinese. He turned his eyes dullly, slowly looking at Youyou and Qin Chen, and said in extremely lame Chinese, "Dead, crew."
Qin Chen's voice sounded softly next to him: "It's a bit bad, 8 crew members died first."
The penultimate group was not enough to fill in, and it was their turn to the penultimate group.
