Into Unscientific

Chapter 10 A Sketch

in the house.

After explaining many matters, Mavericks clapped his hands casually:

"Okay, all that needs to be said has been said, you can get out of bed and go for a walk, and I will also introduce you to the layout of the manor."

Xu Yun already had this intention in his heart, so he immediately pushed the boat along:

"Then I will trouble you."

Maverick nodded, walked to the cabinet next to the bed, bent down and fiddled a few times.

After getting up, he flicked his right hand lightly.

With a click, a pair of shoes and stockings were thrown in front of Xu Yun.

These are a pair of old shoes, the flanks and back are made of gray sackcloth, with some black spots.

The front of the head is a piece of leather with obvious wear and tear on the surface.

Judging from the current background of the times, the material of leather should be buckskin.

Then the Maverick pointed to the shoe and said:

"These are the brogues I wore in high school, and they should be about the same shape as yours.

Remember, don't wear these shoes out of the manor. If you want to go out, you must tell me in advance, and I will bring you another pair of shoes. "

Xu Yun still nodded cooperatively - not because he had been successfully puaed, but because he knew very well that Newton's words were not restricting his freedom of action.

There is only one reason why Mavericks asked him to go out to change his shoes:

In the UK or Europe these days, people really go out to see shit.

Britain's emphasis on public health did not really begin until after the plague ended, and it was not until around 1690 that it became popular at the county and town level.

At present, the whole of Europe's understanding of infectious diseases such as plague is still only in the isolation stage-the United Kingdom is even considered as the first echelon. The first case of being arrested in Europe for escaping from the disease area occurred in the United Kingdom.

The name of the unlucky and lucky one was Henry Rose, and it happened in the parish of St. Bartholomew in 1604, sixty years ago now.

Strictly speaking, this is a process of supplementing cognition, and there is nothing to criticize or despise.

The peak period of European shit culture was around the 12th century AD, when all kinds of show operations came out.

For example, the famous high-heeled shoes were invented to prevent Ollie from getting them.

Of course.

Completing the cognition is to complete the cognition. It is also a fact that feces and urine in public areas in the UK still exist.

Especially in a place like Lincolnshire where there are a lot of cattle and sheep, it smells like going out.

This is also the reason why Newton thought Xu Yun was extravagant at first—he wouldn't even be able to afford a house in exchange for warm boots made of this material, but Xu Yun was lucky enough to wear them for a long time outside.

If it is not for the small money in the future, the Mavericks should not say "profligate" at this time.

Xu Yun didn't know that he had already been labeled as a prodigal son and a big dog by his classmate Maverick. At this time, he was getting off the bed and picked up a tube sock——God, after ten chapters, our protagonist finally Get out of bed, tears!

Xu Yun put on the tube socks awkwardly, glanced at the big toe protruding from the hole in the tube socks, rolled his eyes silently, and picked up the brogue shoes on the ground.

Brogue shoes, also known as Baroque shoes, originated from the work shoes worn by Scottish and Irish people when they worked in the highlands in the 16th century. They are practical and wear-resistant.

This kind of shoes was relatively popular in the seventeenth century, and its status was lower than that of Oxford shoes and Derby shoes. It was regarded as standard equipment for students in some middle schools.

However, in the 20th century, brogue shoes will be excavated from the countryside by the Duke of Windsor, and then gradually become a symbol of gentlemen.

Newton's pair of brogues are relatively intact, and with Newton's tube socks that have a few holes, they won't be particularly uncomfortable to wear.

Of course, forget about the image:

The aesthetics of the whole of Britain these days are a bit gimmicky. Men in the Victorian period had to wear skirts, and the clothes were so fat that they looked ghostly.

From the perspective of the 21st century, it is almost like a repressive door god dressing up by hanging on the door to ward off evil spirits and hang on the bedside for contraception.

Fortunately, acquaintances couldn't see him in his attire, so after putting on his shoes, Xu Yun calmly followed Newton out of the bedroom.

As Newton said earlier.

Perhaps because the house was originally a garden house, the overall area of ​​the house is not large, and it can even be said to be a bit narrow.

The outside of the bedroom is a small room of about 20 square meters. Taking the bedroom door as the origin, there is a small window on the left side of the room, and a desk is placed in front of the window.

There is also a quaint little bookcase beside the desk, which is filled with a pile of books.

On the right side of the room is a relatively thick door, and a somewhat blackened old blanket is placed at the entrance.

Obviously, this is the exit of the whole house.

If the land occupied by the external fence is not counted, the building area of ​​the whole house is just over 60 square meters, which is relatively rare in Europe, whether it is the 17th century or the 21st century.

Converted to the nature of the local housing, it is almost the same as a family of four living in a 25-square-meter house in Shanghai, which is too crowded to live in even if you dream of remodeling a house—of course, if it is a designer named Tao I guess I can't live in it after the renovation, and I have to ask you for a renovation fee of 1.3 million.

Then Maverick brought Xu Yun to the window, pointed out the window and said:

"Fat Yu, as you can see, the fruit trees in the manor outside the window belong to my family.

In addition, about a thousand feet to the west from the fence is the village road of Woolsthorpe, and then to the north is a well. Near the well, you can see a windmill built more than 60 years ago.

As for the direction of Lincolnshire, I don't need to say more, that's where you escaped from. "

Xu Yun nodded silently upon hearing this.

Although he is an "apple" that fell from the sky, he doesn't know where Lincolnshire is, but right now he doesn't have the idea or need to go to Lincolnshire, so there is no need to go to the details.

Then Newton withdrew his gaze from the window, pointed to the desk and bookcase and said:

"As for this place. This is where I study and work. Without my permission, you are not allowed to touch any piece of paper—even if the ink is spilled and the paper is stained."

Compared with the casual introduction of the landmarks outside the window, Newton was much more serious when he talked about the desk.

His tone reminded Xu Yun of a friend of his who was a two-thorn newt. Every time he went to his house to play, he had the same attitude towards the rows of figurines.

But soon, Xu Yun's attention shifted to the desk.

Or to be more precise, in several manuscripts on the desk.

One of the manuscripts contained two pages of stick figures, which were simple and scribbled:

On the left side of the first page is a tree with a stickman standing under the tree.

The scene on the second page is almost the same as the first one, the difference is that in this scene, another stickman fell from the tree.

And the fallen stickman was marked with a circle with a heavy brush, with a pair of arrows pointing up and down on the side of the circle, and .

A question mark.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yun's eyes lit up immediately.
