Chapter 1164 Causes of the Fire

When Han Li went to New York University and Christ Church College for the first time, he learned four minority languages ​​officially recognized by England, namely Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, Welsh and Cornish.

The extremely white girl in front speaks with a very obvious Scottish Gaelic grammar.

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

In Scotland, England, the only people with this skin color and accent are the Celts.

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

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

However, after so many years of wars and intermarriage, the European and American white races have been mixed for many generations, and now the mainstream skin color of European and American white people is a reddish white.

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

Han Li looked at the girl in front of him with red hair and extremely fair skin. There were no freckles on her face and no blue pupils. He guessed that her ancestors must have Celtic blood, and that she was showing symptoms of atavism in this generation.

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 regress to their ancestral home now.

(A long time ago, the Celtic people's 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 people's ability to worship God.)
When Han Li was about to approach and start chatting with the super fair girl, a big boy who was picking something at another counter came up to her with a wooden sculpture of a vampire, looking excited.

The way these two people are together, they look like a young couple.

Han Li shrugged when he saw this. Although he was a little fond of this girl with super fair skin, it was not to the point where he could be so careless as to interfere.

Han Li withdrew his gaze from the girl, walked to the bookshelf next to him where there were many old books, and selected the books he liked one by one.

However, Han Li did not pay attention to these because he found several good books among these old books.

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

This book was first published in 1928, but it tells the story of the wife of a meritorious nobleman who had an affair with a lowly gardener, disregarding class and moral taboos.

Later, this noble lady ignored her disabled noble husband and arranged for her to have a lover who was also a noble (who was a accomplice), 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 this book was published, it was soon attacked by the English cultural community. The English royal family, dignitaries, and government officials also believed that the book was "indecent" and banned it.

However, this book was unblocked in 1958, but the version that was published had to be revised and abridged.

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

This led to a lawsuit from a fallen nobleman, and the lawsuit caused a great shock around the world at the time.

Although the impoverished noble won, the rule stipulated that only the version of the book published 58 years later could be published.

However, a certain publishing house achieved its goal, and many people around the world knew this story.

While everyone was laughing at the down-and-out nobleman, "various" revised versions of the book were born and published in many countries.

From that day on, this book also became the darling of film and television directors, who used it to shoot TV series and movies.

Moreover, the IP of Lady Chatterley's Lover is enduring, and a new film or TV show is released almost every once in a while.

The book Han Li found now is certainly not the revised or abridged versions sold on the market, but the original authentic version published in 1928.

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

The content of this book has not been edited either, 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 to read than other "that kind of" books.

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

Although he said he was shopping and having fun, Han Li was basically just 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 and you will be warned by soldiers if you get close to it.

Carlton Hill offers the best view of Edinburgh. Standing on that small hill you can see most of Edinburgh. However, this small hill with few buildings is also off-limits to tourists.

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 didn't go to those more famous scenic spots and ancient castle buildings along the way.

Of course, you are not off limits to all places. Places like Holy Cross Abbey, St Giles' Cathedral, St Margaret's Chapel, the Royal Museum of Scotland and the National Gallery are all open to you.

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

He was even more reluctant to go to museums and art galleries, because almost all of them were cultural relics from the Dragon Kingdom, and he was afraid that after seeing them, he would lose control and put them away.

Therefore, Han Li basically spent his time looking at the old buildings on both sides of the road, and also went to the shops to see if there were any gifts suitable for 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 just walked openly on the street, not at all embarrassed because they were wearing the same skirts as the women on the street. But it was not surprising when you think about it, this is their national costume.

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

Therefore, after Han Li arrived here, he subconsciously expanded his mental power, and thus obtained a small jade bead containing the skill of "Scottish Bagpipe".

Han Li took a stroll in the morning, found a more upscale restaurant to fill his stomach at noon, and listened to Edinbao's entertainment situation.

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, read books, and practiced playing the bagpipes in his room. He did not leave the room until the evening to have dinner.

During lunch 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 Renton.

So 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, while others were drinking, chatting and flirting in booths and private rooms.

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

Secondly, the drinkers here are much more cheerful than those in London.

Maybe people living in the north are more generous.

When Han Li was buying drinks and looking for a seat at the bar, he saw a man holding a half-filled bottle of whiskey and drinking it all in one gulp.

When Han Li saw this situation, he remembered the time when he drank from a large bowl in Shanghe Village. This might be because people living near the north tend to be more generous.

However, in such a situation, it is easy for people to get drunk, and when they are drunk, they are prone to cause trouble.

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

Han Li finished his glass of wine and didn't find a suitable target in the bar.

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

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

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

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

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

Some of these people went directly to the place where the fire was coming out of the black smoke, while others squeezed back to the bar to get their coats. In short, out of ten people, eight decided to go to the scene to watch the excitement.

It was late at night and Han Li hadn't found a companion, so of course he had to go along to watch the fun.

More people continued to join the team on the way because the fire occurred a bit far from the bar. When they arrived there, the police had already set up a cordon and the firefighters were pouring water into the fire with taps.

Next, Han Li arrived earlier and learned the details of the fire from someone who knew the inside story.

The person living here is a "Sister Feng". Although her asking price is very high, many people come to see her. It can be said that she is quite famous in the neighborhood.

Today, when this "Feng Jie" was receiving guests, one of her loyal guests came over. This guest might have drunk some wine, and when he saw that Feng Jie 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 someone do such a thing.
