Verse 49: Waves

A foolish farmer in the Middle Ages is clearly unable to transform his mind into a modern civilized man of the 21st century in one night.

Norman was no exception.

Even with Gawain's constant teaching, he only vaguely knew that the original world was much more complicated than he knew, with all kinds of rules, and thousands of laws, all of which he needed to learn slowly.

And the first thing he needs to learn is to take a bath.

"Taking a bath is a very important thing. First of all, frequent bathing can ...... the mud bacteria on your body's surface."

It was only then that Gawain realized that such a thing as "bacteria" was obviously incomprehensible to Norman, so he changed the phrase that Norman could understand, and continued: "Bathing regularly can make you less likely to get sick. ”

"Secondly, bathing will make your body less constantly filled with odors, which will make other people more willing to approach you and help you......"

Gawain talked about the benefits of bathing, and under Gawain's explanation, Norman also knew that bathing had so many benefits - the farmers in Ashley Village had never had the concept of bathing, and it was common not to take a bath for a year or two, and it was unusual to take a bath often.

Norman was the best of the bunch, having not taken a shower in several years before coming to Cárdenas, most recently in order to get into the Third Arrondissement, but it was almost ten days ago, and now it's summer......

Having learned of the benefits of bathing, Norman listened to Gawain's advice and instead of going to Thomas, he turned around and went to the Wadden River, which flows along the edge of the Sixth District, to wash his body.

In the moonlight, the deserted Wadden River is eerily quiet, the river is calm and sparkling, and occasionally a fish poops out of the water to breathe, and then dives in, causing layers of ripples.

Norman found a deck made of stone slabs by the river, and quickly stripped himself naked, not at all embarrassed, not at all afraid of being seen, and even less ashamed.

In Ashley Village, the peasants are dressed in tatters, and when they walk around the village, they often show this and that, and when they are at the hottest time of the year, it is even more common to strip naked and work in the fields.

But the mages in his body made a big fuss.

"Yo, this figure is good, look at this muscle, buddy is energetic!"

"Hey, don't move, it's all water waves, and you can't see the reflection clearly, so you just rub the mud on your body." ”

"I'm so big! I thought this kid used to brag!"

"There's no 21, right? At this scale, it's hard to get up to 18 and not more. ”

"It may be that what he said is different from ours, can a big guy popularize the unit of measurement in this world?"

"Masturbated. “

With a convulsion of the body, this live broadcast room was tasteless. ”

"This can be masturbated brother, my grandmother will obey you without helping. ”......

Others were teasing Gawain.

"Teacher Gao's position is now promoted again, amazing, the ability to fool people is a cow!"

"In ancient times, how can Mr. Gao be considered a master, right?"

"I don't understand at first glance, Mr. Gao is Mrs. Gao! In the future, when we see Mr. Gao coming, we have to call Mrs. Gao, unlike our ordinary people, he can talk to the anchor. ”

"Gawaine is the name of one of the twelve Knights Too young, too simple of the Round Table of King Arthur, so we have to call Gawaine. ”

"Let's go to the side of the bookbag, you know? We call it following the local customs, and in the future, even if Lancelot, who is in the first place in the Twelve Round Table Knights, pops out, then we will also be called Mrs. Lan. ”

"That's right, that's right, follow the local customs, there's nothing wrong with Mrs. Gao. ”......

Norman tried to listen to the sounds in his body while washing his body, but there were still many unfamiliar words that he couldn't understand, such as masturbation, tasteless, Taishi, Taifu, King Arthur, units of measurement or something.

You still have to study hard, Norman sighed in his heart.

He also hopes that one day he can be like Gawain, who seems to know everything and understands everything......

What Norman didn't know was that, although he still didn't understand a lot of things, with his efforts to listen and understand every sentence, his level of ancient language slowly improved little by little at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Compare last night with tonight, although he knows the same number of ancient languages, his level of ancient languages is no longer the same.

The unique context of ancient sayings is subtly changing him, creating a terrifying speed of improvement in the level of ancient languages. What's even more terrifying is that others need to learn the ancient language if they want to improve their level, but he starts to improve as soon as he opens his eyes every day, and with every breath he takes, his ancient language level is constantly improving......

Norman was thinking about his thoughts when he suddenly felt something strange, as if a needle had pierced him.

He had felt this before, even last night when he was still staying at Franklin's house, and then he found the owl by the window.

Norman shook his head sharply and looked in one direction, and then saw a man standing a few paces away from him on the shore.

By the moonlight, it could be seen that this was a little girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old.

She is dressed very ordinary, the kind that is common on the street, petite, small hands and feet, small face, white and tender, and the most eye-catching place on her body is probably her eyes.

It was a pair of emerald green eyes, so green that they couldn't be dissolved.

She just looked at the sleek Norman, and she didn't see half of the embarrassment, which was completely different from the reaction of ordinary women when they saw a man's nakedness. Instead, her eyes were full of excitement and curiosity, as if she had seen a playful toy rather than the naked body of a muscular man.

She looked at Norman like this, and Norman didn't show weakness at all, just looked at her like this, and the two of them stared at each other with wide eyes.

After looking at each other for a long time, the little girl seemed to have seen enough, and then she withdrew her gaze contentedly, turned around, and jumped along the river in the direction of the upper reaches.

Norman watched her figure fade away, then withdrew his gaze and continued to wash his body, scraping black dirt from her body one by one, accumulating a few lumps and throwing them into the river, thinking about the little girl.

Cárdenas at this time was very familiar to Norman, and he knew very little that there would be very few people on the streets of Cárdenas at this time, almost none, and that the occasional one or two wandering the streets were also drunkards like Thomas, what was the matter with this little girl? What was she doing alone at night?......

Norman remembered Gawain's example of extrapolating from one thing to another, and now he began to try to do it in imitation of Gawain's way.

But he obviously didn't have Gawain's ability, and he asked himself for a long time, but he didn't ask a fart, and finally looked down and saw his bare chest, and then an idea flashed: Could this little girl be like him, running out to take a bath in the middle of the night?

"She's here to take a shower, too?"

Norman couldn't wait to ask Gawain if he had learned this skill.

Gawain gave him a merciless blow: "I don't know, but according to my speculation, it's more likely that she made an appointment with a certain man to meet in the evening and happened to be passing by here." ”

"Whether in your village or in Cárdenas, it is common to get married in her teens, and it is normal for her to have a lover at her age, and the way she looked at you just now also revealed her desire for the opposite sex, which shows ......"

Gawain was still seriously analyzing, and Norman suddenly noticed that the originally calm river was flooded.

The wave was small, coming from the direction of the upstream, gently lapping the stone slab under Norman's feet, submerging the surface of Norman's feet, and then surging through, leaving only water marks.
