Into Unscientific Chapter 17

  Chapter 17 Bad Lunch and Night (Part 1)

  As the birthplace of common law, Britain in the 17th century was actually somewhat similar to the native Qin Dynasty to some extent:

   All possible things are defined by relevant laws, which can almost be said to be exhaustive.

   From triggering wars to making complaints about parents, you can even find relevant punishment regulations for calling you a stupid X.

  What is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, mistakes must be punished, there is no room for reason.

  But as a modern person in the 21st century, Xu Yun's concept of "punishment" is obviously different from that of the British in the 17th century.

  He is not the Holy Mother, but for a normal person, it is a bit too harsh for a five or six-year-old child to be whipped twenty times with sea buckthorn for splashing cow dung.

   That is, as the saying goes, the sentence is too heavy.

  But if he chooses to do nothing and forgive her directly, whether Xu Yun can relieve his anger, let alone talk about it for the time being, will Lilani be repentant?

   This is obviously impossible.

  Don't forget, there is another unlucky guy in the real history line who was once pranked by this brat. At that time, Lilani was two years older than he is now.

   Therefore, this kind of behavior cannot be explained by the so-called "unintentional mistake".

  So after some thinking, Xu Yun finally made the previous decision.

   Evil has its severity, hitting Lilani's seabuckthorn three times represents Xu Yun's judgment on the degree of her mistakes.

   Hitting himself three times with seabuckthorn is the attitude expressed by Xu Yun:

   In any case, Lilani is just a child after all, so out of his own moral quality, he chose to be punished with Lilani.

Of course.

  Xu Yun could actually use the so-called 'cousin's substitute' to let Mavericks be whipped instead of the little girl, and take revenge for the violent beating he suffered by the way.

  But he is not Wang Qiang after all, so he can't say such flirtatious words.

all in all.

   After the ideology of the 21st century was repeatedly bombarded by the social humanities of 400 years ago, Xu Yun finally made his own voice in this era.

  Even if this voice is actually very small, so small that no one will hear it today, its significance cannot be ignored.

   At least at this moment, everyone present was stunned by Xu Yun's performance.

  Of course, it's all about staying calm, and everyone's situation is different.

  The gazes of Mrs. William and the two twins were very pure. They simply felt that Xu Yun's actions were somewhat unexpected, and they were surprised by inherent cognition.

   And Lisa Escu's expression is more complicated, with some half-understood thoughtfulness.

   As for William Escoub and the Mavericks.

  Their looks are not exaggerated, but the amount of information revealed in their eyes is much more than that of several women.

At present, British thinking is at a time of intense collision and change. Therefore, although Xu Yun's approach is a bit out of line, for people who have been enlightened by knowledge like Mavericks, Lisa, and William (William is also a high-achieving student who graduated from Cambridge) ), but it will not be incomprehensible or even secretly called 'stupid'.

   After a while like this, William took a deep look at Xu Yun.

   walked over to Lilani and rubbed her head:

   "Lilani, why don't you say thank you to Mr. Fat Fish?"

  Lilani was silent for a while, the five-year-old girl's limited mind was full of question marks and an emotion she couldn't understand, but in the end she said sullenly:

   "Thank you, Mr. Fat Fish."

  Xu Yun nodded with a teachable expression, and at the same time put his hands behind his back calmly, with a very strong thought in his mind:

  Damn chicken, pumping too hard, it hurts like hell.

  Seeing that a prank that might have caused bad consequences was resolved relatively satisfactorily, William heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time restored the majesty of the Patriarch.

   He coughed lightly, turned around and asked Mrs. William:

   "Honey, is lunch ready for today?"

  Mrs. William pointed to the wild vegetables on the table:

   "The wild vegetables and lentils are almost cleaned, and they can be stewed in at most ten minutes—today's lentils are very fresh, and they are really suitable for sandwiching bread."

  William nodded in satisfaction:

   "Okay, then hurry up and get ready. I'll sit with Mr. Fat Fish for a while."

  Mrs. William agreed, wrapped her apron again, picked up the wild vegetables and returned to the kitchen.

  William Escu led Xu Yun to sit by the fireplace, pointed to his four daughters and said:

   "Mr. Fat Fish, you already know Lilani and Lisa, they happen to be my youngest and oldest daughters.

  The remaining two are Elura and Andrea, as you can see, they are a pair of twins, exactly 12 years old this year.

  Elula, Andrea, quickly say hello to Mr. Fat Fish. "

  Compared to the liveliness of their elder sister and younger sister, Elura and Andrea are much more shy. I saw the sisters bowed to Xu Yun softly:

   "Hello, Mr. Fat Fish."

  Xu Yun responded with a nod:

   "Hello, nice to meet you."

  Elula and Andrea's figures are very thin, they look like two small bean sprouts that haven't grown at all.

  The reason for this is actually quite simple:

  Their growth stage highly overlaps with the period when William lost money, and there is not much opportunity to absorb nutrition.

   And unfortunately, this situation also affected their future life trajectories—due to malnutrition, the two sisters passed away at the age of 38 and 41 respectively.

Of course.

   There are also certain emotional factors in it, which will not be shown here for the time being.

   After introducing his own daughter, William began to talk to Xu Yun curiously—like Maverick, he knew about the existence of Orientals, but he had never come into contact with them.

  Although the worldviews of the two sides differed by a full four hundred years, William was also a college student who graduated from Cambridge University, and his vision and IQ were actually among the top group of people.

  In addition, although I haven't made much money these years, I have traveled a lot, so chatting is like fishing, brother, knowing a little bit about everything.

  So after talking freely, Xu Yun found that he and William were unexpectedly in tune.

  What, you ask, what is Maverick doing at this time?

  Of course it's blah blah blah

   In this way, about twenty minutes passed.

  Mrs. William held a steaming cauldron in both hands, and walked out of the kitchen with delicate steps.

   I coded all night until 5:00 in the morning, and I still have to save the manuscripts of old books. Recently, there are two updates every day. !
