Chapter 1164 Causes of the Fire

When Han Li first went to Niu Jing University and Christ Church College, he learned four minor languages ​​officially recognized by England, namely Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, Welsh and Cornish.

The extremely white girl in front of him spoke with very obvious Scottish Gaelic grammar.

At first, Han Li thought he would not be able to use these four minor languages, but he did not expect to encounter them today.

In Scotland, England, only the Celts can have such skin color and such an accent.

You should know that there are several skin colors of white people in Europe and America, but the skin of Celts is whiter than other races.

It is said that the whiteness of pure Celts has reached the point of paleness.

However, after so many years of wars and intermarriage, the white races in Europe and America have been mixed for many generations. Now the mainstream skin color of white people in Europe and America is that kind of reddish white.

Pure-blooded Celts usually have four characteristics: red hair, many freckles, blue pupils, and super white skin.

Han Li looked at the girl with red hair and a very white complexion. She had no freckles on her face and no blue pupils. He guessed that her ancestors should have Celtic blood, and this generation showed symptoms of atavism.

But this is not surprising, because the Celts were once the main ethnic group in Scotland and Ireland, and it is very normal for a person to have atavism now.

(A long time ago, the Celtic worship of God was called "Druids", which is the prototype of Druids in many games in later generations. The three professional states of Druids are based on the Celtic belief in God.)

When Han Li was about to approach this super white girl, a big boy who was originally selecting things at other counters came to her side with a vampire wooden sculpture with excitement on his face.

The two people looked like a couple at first glance.

Han Li shrugged his shoulders when he saw this. Although he was a little fond of this girl with a very fair complexion, he was not yet at the point where he could be careless and interfere.

Han Li withdrew his gaze from the girl and walked to the bookshelf with many old books next to him, picking out the books he liked one by one.

However, Han Li did not notice these because he found a few good books among these old books.

One of the books was called "Lady Chatterley's Lover", which was a novel written by a man named D.H. Lauren*.

This book was first published in 1928, but the book tells the story of a wife of a meritorious nobleman who actually messed around with a lowly gardener, regardless of class and moral taboos.

Later, this noble lady actually ignored her disabled noble husband and arranged for her to be with a lover who was also a nobleman (to help her), and insisted on fooling around with the gardener.

Of course, the description of "that kind of thing" in this book is too explicit, rough, barbaric and direct.

Therefore, when the book was published, it was quickly attacked by the English cultural community. The English royal family, dignitaries, and the ruling authorities also believed that the book was "indecent" and banned it.

However, the book was unbanned in 1958, but the published version had to be a revised and deleted version.

In 1960, a certain English publishing house, for unknown reasons, released the complete version of the book on the 30th anniversary of the author's death.

This led to a lawsuit from a certain down-and-out nobleman, and the lawsuit caused a great shock around the world at that time.

Although the down-and-out nobleman won, it was stipulated that only the version of the book published in 1958 could be published in the future.

However, the publisher achieved its goal, and many people around the world knew this story.

While everyone was laughing at the down-and-out nobleman, the book also gave birth to "various" revised versions, and was published in many countries.

From that day on, this book became the favorite of directors in the film and television industry, and a film and television drama was filmed with it.

Moreover, the IP of Lady Chatterley's Lover has been enduring, and a new film and television drama will be released almost every once in a while.

The book that Han Li found now is of course not the modified and deleted versions sold on the market, but the original version published in 1928.

In addition to this Lady Chatterley's Lover, Han Li also found the original version of "The Bluest Eyes".

The content in this book is also undeleted, and the content is very real and explosive.

Because its author is a black woman, the description is from a female perspective, and it feels different from other "that kind" books when reading.

After paying, Han Li walked out of the store and began to continue shopping and enjoying the scenery along the Royal Mile.

Speaking of shopping and playing, Han Li was almost really shopping, because many places in this era were not open to the public.

For example: Edinburgh Castle, which was built in the 6th century and expanded in the 7th century, is a military restricted area. If you get close, you will be warned by soldiers.

Calton Hill has the best view of Edinburgh. Standing on that small mound, you can see most of Edinburgh. However, this small mound with no buildings is also prohibited for tourists to enter.

You can't enter this place, you can't see that place. There are too many restrictions on tourism in this era.

This is also the biggest reason why Han Li did not visit those famous attractions and castle buildings along the way.

Of course, not all places can be visited, such as the Abbey of the Holy Cross, St. Giles Cathedral, St. Margaret's Chapel, and the Royal Museum and National Gallery of Scotland.

However, Han Li did not want to go to those churches and monasteries to see those foreign gods.

He was even more reluctant to go to museums and art galleries, because there were almost all cultural relics of the Dragon Country there, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and put them away after seeing them.

Therefore, Han Li basically looked at the old buildings on both sides of the road, and went to the shops to see if there were any gifts suitable for selling to his family.

In addition, Han Li saw many gentlemen wearing windbreakers on the upper body, Scottish skirts, long cotton socks and leather shoes on the lower body today.

They walked on the street openly, not embarrassed at all because they were wearing the same skirts as the women on the roadside, but it was not surprising to think that this was their national costume.

By the way, when Han Li visited Tron Kirk Church on the Old Town High Street, because this is the place where Edinburgh has held various large-scale folk programs over the years.

Therefore, Han Li subconsciously stretched his mental power after arriving here, and thus obtained a small jade bead containing the skill of "Scottish bagpipe".

Han Li strolled around in the morning, found a more upscale restaurant at noon to fill his stomach, and listened to Edinburgh's entertainment situation by the way.

After dinner, Han Li went to a musical instrument store, bought a brand new Scottish bagpipe and returned to the hotel.

In the afternoon, he drank tea and read books in the room, and mastered the operation of the Scottish bagpipe until the evening before he went out of the room to have dinner.

When eating in the morning, Han Li learned that the bars and nightclubs in the wealthy area of ​​Edinburgh at night were no different from those in London.

Therefore, after Han Li had dinner in the hotel, he followed the crowd to the nearest bar.

The bar was very lively, some people were dancing to the music, and some people were drinking, chatting, and flirting in the booths and private rooms.

However, the bar in Edinburgh is very different from that in London. First of all, almost no one drinks beer here. Most people, both men and women, drink whiskey.

Secondly, the people who drink here are much more straightforward than those in London.

Maybe people near the north are more generous.

When Han Li was buying wine and looking for a seat at the bar, he saw a man holding a half bottle of whiskey and drinking it in one breath with his neck tilted back.

When Han Li saw this situation, he remembered that he drank with a big bowl in Shanghe Village. This may be the reason why people near the north are more generous in character.

However, people are easy to get drunk in such a situation, and people are easy to find trouble when they are drunk.

Therefore, Han Li bought a glass of whiskey and did not look for a booth. Instead, he sat on a high chair in front of the bar, listening to music, watching other people dancing, and slowly drinking the wine in the glass.

After Han Li finished a glass of wine, he did not find a suitable target in this bar.

Just when Han Li was about to get up and go to another bar, the shrill sound of a fire truck siren came from outside.

It is human nature to watch the excitement, and people from all countries are no exception.

After hearing the sirens, those who were still awake in the bar all went outside to watch the excitement.

Han Li was about to leave, so he followed the crowd out.

After leaving the bar, because it was night, everyone saw the fire in the distance.

Some of these people went directly to the place where the black smoke was on fire, and some squeezed back to the bar to get their coats. In short, if there were ten people, eight of them decided to go to the scene to watch the excitement.

This late at night, Han Li didn't find a companion, so of course he had to go to watch the excitement.

People kept joining on the road, because the place where the fire occurred was a little far from the bar. When they arrived here, the police had already pulled up the cordon, and the firefighters were holding the faucet to spray water into it.

Next, Han Li came earlier from the side and learned the inside story of the fire from the insider.

There lived a "Feng Jie" in here. Although the price was high, many people came to see her. She could be said to be quite famous in the neighborhood.

Today, when this "Sister Feng" was receiving guests, one of her loyal guests came over. This guest may have drunk some wine, and when he saw that Sister Feng was not available, he directly booked the room.

Han Li was shocked when he heard this. What the hell is going on? However, this news made him not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to see what kind of beauty could make people do such a thing.
