Seeing Gordon fall asleep, Cheng Qianxun sat beside him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rudolph saw the blood on her thighs and arms, so he walked over: "Do you want to rub some wine too?" ”
Cheng Qianxun shook her head, her wound would heal by dawn. She was slowly about to get out of bed, but Rudolph stopped her: "No, I'll go get it." ”
Sure enough, just as she thought, the hides and blankets that Rudolph had brought from his room were laid out on the floor, and he lay down with his clothes: "You should still be in bed, if you don't feel right, call me." ”
What about sleeping together? Now, even if Gordon had the heart, he didn't have the strength. Cheng Qianxun lay down, put another blanket brought by Rudolph over his body, and reached out to touch Gordon's forehead. Although I was a little sweaty, I luckily didn't have a fever.
Everyone lay down to rest, and in the courtyard outside the window, there were knights chatting around the campfire, and occasionally spitting at Louie's head. Louis's head was stuck in a thin wooden pole, and tomorrow he would carry it through the streets of the village, a punishment for the losers, and justice has always been mostly in the hands of the victors.
When Cheng Qianxun opened her eyes, the sky had already brightened, and she looked at her hands, or became forelimbs, and became a fox again.
She stood up and walked over to Gordon, her paws no longer detecting the temperature. So he stretched out his tongue and gently licked Gordon's sweaty and salty forehead... It's hot! She was taken aback, jumped out of bed, went to Rudolph's side, shouted at him a few times, and then jumped on his chest and jerked him a few times.
Rudolph woke up, and his first reaction was to run to Gordon's side, reach out and touch his forehead, and say in a deep voice: "Not good! ”
Gordon finally got an infected wound, and the fever lasted for two days, making him groggy.
Cheng Qianxun didn't know how Gordon could be infected, according to the previous rules, their bodies could not be sick, but Gordon's wound was infected. And there was purulent blood water constantly oozing from the wound, which was fine before, but later it smelled of stinky salted fish.
At night, Cheng Qianxun kept dipping his hands in ice water and twisting a wet cloth to cover his forehead to cool down to prevent his brain from burning out; also endured the stench of smoke that his eyes were almost unable to open, and helped him wipe off the red and white pus and blood from the wound. During the day, Rudolph takes over, and she can sleep with her eyes closed. Fortunately, there are two people who take turns with each other, otherwise she alone would not be able to hold on at all.
Looking at Gordon's tragic situation, Cheng Qianxun gritted his teeth and silently hated, it must have been intentional by the Heavenly Realm.
"Come, eat some." Rudolph placed a plate of food directly on the bed.
Cheng Qianxun, who turned into a snow fox, opened his eyes in a daze, then stood up, drooped his eyelids, and ate without a bite. Then she felt a hand touching her head, and when she looked sideways, her confused eyes widened, and Gordon woke up.
Gordon was sometimes awake and dizzy, but when he opened his eyes, he could always see someone by his side.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gordon had a smile on his lips.
Rudolph walked over and touched his forehead, frowning slightly. Obviously, the high fever has not gone away, and if a person suddenly wakes up during a serious illness, it is definitely possible to return to the light.
Gordon said to Rudolph, "Call my butler and a few others." ”
As soon as he heard this, Cheng Qianxun's heart sank more and more.
The butler, the six knights, and the scribe who could write were called. The first thing I did when I came in was to cover my nose with a frown, and the smell in the room was too terrible. The clerk even retched a few times, turned around and covered his mouth, and it took him half a day to recover.
The housekeeper kept wiping his eyes, pretending to be in tears, and about no tears were wiped red or reddened by the smell.
The clerk asked a few questions, as usual, and Gordon answered them with a clear mind, and then began to announce the will, and the clerk wrote on the table: When he dies, Rudolph will bury him in the family cemetery next to the castle. Take 2,000 gold coins and give them to Rudolph, the snow fox belongs to Rudolph, as for Rudolph whether he wants to leave or wait for the heir to come, it is up to Rudolph to decide. Before the heir arrived, if Rudolph was leaving, he could take whatever he wanted from the castle.
After the instructions, Gordon signed the written will, and asked everyone present to sign or draw a cross, he waved his hand slightly, and everyone withdrew with a complicated look of envy and jealousy for Rudolph.
They must have thought that if they had known this, they would have come to take care of their dying master, regardless of their own food, drink and merry. Who knows that the master is really willing to give away the property to Rudolph, in this era, what is given away by a person who does not die is valid and does not belong to the inheritance.
After everyone left, Rudolph walked to the bedside and grabbed Gordon's hand, still calm: "It's too rich, you shouldn't give me so much." ”
"I have no heirs, and I can't bring money to the grave, so I'll leave it to you. But I have only one request ... Gordon turned his head to look at the snow fox beside him, with his head bowed and his ears drooping, as if he was very sad: "Take good care of her." ”
Rudolph hesitated, but nodded: "Okay." ”
Gordon looked him in the eye: "You have to swear!" ”
Rudolph let go of his hand, stood up straight, drew his sword, slashed his index finger on the blade, and the blood flowed out, and he said, "I swear by the sword in my hand and my honor as a knight that I will take good care of her." ”
Gordon smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his hand touched his eyes to look at his snow fox: "Why do you want to be so good to us, just waiting for me to call your name when I am dying?" ”
Cheng Qianxun hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"What happens if you say your name?" Gordon touched her head gently: "Will it disappear?" ”
She nodded, but then shook her head. Disappearing is only relative, just in this world news.
Gordon thought for a moment and then asked, "Will you die?" ”
It doesn't die, but all the symptoms disappear because of the level. So she shook her head!
Rudolph had been listening silently from the side, and then he spoke: "Your Excellency wants to call her name?" ”
Gordon looked sideways at Rudolph and said weakly, "I understand that my body should not see the sun tomorrow." In this case, just satisfy her, she has paid a lot for me. are all dying, what are you afraid of? ”
Gordon turned his head again and smiled at the snow fox who threw himself into his squeaky nest, then touched the wound, coughed slightly, and rancid pus and blood came out of the arrow wound again.
"Well, it stinks!" He frowned himself, then reached out to help Snow Fox's little head up, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I didn't dare to be with you, in fact, what a good woman you are." If there is an afterlife, I will not give up ... Journey! ”
called, called her name... Cheng Qianxun suddenly held his breath.
And Gordon's originally confused eyes suddenly lit up, as if the fog that blocked the truth was blown away by the wind, and his face showed a look of sudden realization, and then looked at Cheng Qianxun, who had become a snow fox, with deep apologies.
Yes, you know everything ... Cheng Qianxun just wanted to cry at this moment, but she still had no tears in her eyes. She only looked at Gordon with sadness, and finally passed another level, and another!
There was not much time left, and Gordon, who was beginning to fade away, immediately turned his head to look at Rudolph, it was useless to speak, Rudolph couldn't hear. So he did the same thing as his teammates who passed the level, and that was laughter, and that bright smile seemed to go not to hell, but to heaven, to the happiest place...
Gordon was finally gone, the temperature on the bed was still there, and the rancid stench was there, but the man was gone.
Rudolph did not buy a coffin, but wrapped a roll of rags in a roll of rags that he had stripped the dead horses he had stripped the day before, tied them with ropes, and buried them in the family cemetery next to the castle.
Although the steward and some of the knights complained sourly, saying that they had taken so much money, they did not even buy a coffin, and Rudolph made them stop with a glare.
Cheng Qianxun squatted next to him and watched, watching Rudolph dig a pit to bury "Gordon's body". Now only Rudolph is left, but it is also the most difficult one, and there is only this way, which is to wait and wait. When Rudolph is dying one day, he may be able to call her name.
Whether Rudolph had an accident; Still gray-haired and dying, she must follow and wait. As long as you have patience, you will definitely wait for this day.
Rudolph shoveled the last handful of soil, and all that came out of his mouth was white gas, and he said: "This is what Viscount Gordon asked before he died, he likes horses, and he doesn't want to be surrounded by wood, so he simply wraps his body in horse skin and buries him." Maybe when you go to heaven, you can ride a horse. ”
In this way, everyone was relieved, and it sounded very romantic and masculine. In fact, it was because he had to go to the town to buy the coffin, and he couldn't see that Gordon's body didn't have it at all, so he came up with this solution.
Rudolph walked over to the butler, hooked his shoulders and whispered. The butler's face was surprised, and Rudolph patted the butler on the shoulder: "Go ahead and do it." ”
"Put me in a carriage and prepare me two of the best horses." Rudolph shouted to the stables as he passed the stables.
He went to the room, Cheng Qianxun followed, and now only Rudolph was left, and she said that everything was tighter.
Rudolph began to put his belongings in order, and the skins and cloak were rolled up in rolls, and they were quickly tied with ropes, and he took them downstairs and threw them on the carriage that had been prepared. Then I went upstairs and got two swords, and some pots and pans and all that stuff.
He didn't pack much into the car, not even the bearskin from Sneider's box, which was very streamlined.
"Master Rudolph." The butler also came, bringing three small boxes. At this time, he called Rudolph a master, and it was natural for him to become a master if he had so much money.
With some humility, he said, "There are not so many gold coins, just one box, another box is silver coins, and another box is copper coins." If you don't believe it, go to the treasury and see that there are no more than copper, gold and silver coins. ”
Rudolph opened the box, poked his fingers down, and scooped up a few times, and it was indeed the same coin. He closed the box and stood up: "Load." (To be continued.) )
