Global University Entrance Examination

Chapter 2: Invigilator

•The Last Supper

You Huo kicked the metal can of charcoal over and Old Yu carefully used it to start a fire. The fire in the fire stove emanated an orange-red glow.

Yu Wen squatted next the fire and dejectedly threw wood in.

The flames flickered as he watched it for a while. He decided that he should go find someone to talk to about his feelings before he died but, when he looked up, he saw his brother standing on the side warming his hands with a cold and disinterested expression.

Yu Wen considered it for a few seconds and decided to die quietly instead.

"Umm that..." Old Yu suddenly spoke.

You Huo glanced over.

"I don't know how I should refer to you." Old Yu patted the pregnant woman's shoulder: "With a stomach like that, how can you freeze here? This isn't right, go over there to warm up. Don't catch a cold. It's not good for both you and your child."

The pregnant woman who heard these words was stunned for a moment. Tears flowed steadily down her face.

Old Yu was surprised: "What's this? What's wrong?"

The woman silently cried: "I don't even know if it has Life......"

Having said that, she still moved her chair closer to the fire.

The woman cried for a while before finally stopping. With strong nasal tone, she said to Old Yu: "Oh right, please call me Yu Yao."

Old Yu forced out a laugh and said: "I didn't expect you to also be from the same family line. You look about the same age as my neph......"

Old Yu glanced at You Huo through the corner of his eyes. His words then quickly changed: "......son. When we get out of this damned place, I'll give you a big fat red envelope to wish both mother and child a safe birth."

The tattooed man grumbled in a sullen face: "The situation is already fucking like this and you have the time to chat......Fuck!"

The others who heard his words stiffened. They scattered and started to search around the cabin.

However, while the others were looking for clues to solve the problem, the tattooed man concentrated on finding all kinds of self-defence hunting tools.

You Huo didn't move away. He continued to warm up his hands by the stove. He gently touched the question on the wall and then looked down at the miscellaneous items sitting on top of the stove.

There were a few bottles and jars, a pile of darkening coins, several strangely shaped pebbles, scattered chicken feathers and even a mouldy pacifier from who knows what century.

Yun Wen saw that You Huo wasn't moving so he also didn't dare move.

He recalled what his teacher had said before he did the university entrance examination. When you have no clue, read the question a few times. Thinking this, he stood before the wall and read it through repeatedly.

"A group of travellers came to a snow mountain......"

"Travellers......."

"Snow mountain......."

When he returned to his senses after reading it through, he realised that the room was very quiet. Everyone was looking at him.

Yu Wen: ".......I was just reading."

Old Yu had the same issue most parents have. When there are many people around, they wanted to show off their child: "Did you think of something?"

Yu Wen rolled his eyes: "No."
