He fumbled around his body for a moment and took out a folded piece of paper...

Then he spread it out and placed it in front of him.

On this paper was a character sketch that bore a six or seven-point resemblance to Thomson, along with some additional information.

Above the portrait, several English letters were written boldly:

order for arrest!!

Kurz carefully examined the contents at the top, especially pausing on Thomson’s bushy beard and particularly high hairline.

After a moment.

Kurz:

Those who studied geography should know. The United Kingdom plants winter wheat, which is a crop sown in autumn and grows in winter. At this time of year, it is at the intersection of autumn and winter, and farmers have finished their agricultural work, while most of the forest animals have begun to prepare for hibernation. Because of this, these idle farmers and hunters come here to gamble. Thus, as a carpenter, Sterling hasn’t had much business in some days and can only try his luck at the gambling tables. After all, the sales peak for farming tools is during spring and summer, and the same goes for hunting traps. That’s why, upon learning that Thomson needed a cart axle, his expression was so excited. Don’t be fooled by how the cart axle seems like just a piece of wood; calibrating it properly requires some skill, and it’s quite challenging. Especially in Thomson’s case, where long-distance travel is needed, the axle requirements are even higher, so the price isn’t low either. (doi10.15967/j.cnki.cn14-1312/g4.2008.06.006, this is the cost reference for a single-shaft cart) Generally speaking, the cost of the axle for a two-wheeled cart accounts for about 25%-35% of the entire cart, approximately equal to the carriage plus the shaft. This price in the 19th century United Kingdom was equivalent to the income from selling fifteen farming tools. (Referenced from the agriculture economics classification F329/K27 in the 2004 edition of "World Modern History," called a friend at the Science Institute at five in the morning for help, OvO) Just as Sterling was nodding and scraping to lead Thomson to his house, a burly man at the bustling nearby gambling table glanced at them indifferently and instantly made an angry face: "wtf, this shitty luck, it’s unfair, restart! All three rounds should be replayed!" Seeing this, other hunters couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Kurz, you’re drunk, get off the table and let me in!" The burly man named Kurz left the gambling table without showing any abnormality at the crowd’s persuasion, then he walked to the corner, and the drunkenness on his face vanished instantly. He fumbled around his body for a moment and took out a folded piece of paper... then spread it out and placed it in front of him.
