"So I'm still afraid of death, and I'm not as free as the letter says. Women are often born weak. Goethehild sighed and burst into tears, "There is a contrast, but Anna, don't be angry. ”

Anna placed the jug containing the decoction of the leaves of grass at the head of the bed, "Say, sister, we are the closest friends between us, and we have made vows. ”

In the darkness, Goldschild's eyes seemed to burn, and it was not clear whether this ointment could really save her, but her mind and words were still very clear, "That is, I saw you standing outside the curtain with my own eyes just now, which made me feel more relieved than I heard Gawain's voice on the couch." ”

Anna was immediately stunned, but Goetheheard laughed apologetically, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't think much of your prodigal son—but when I know that my husband is passively waiting for my death, Gawain's appearance is really as dramatic as the appearance of a knight in bright armor in a poem, appearing in front of a lady waiting to be saved." ”

Then Goldchild closed his eyes and whispered a line from "The Song of Roland", "With my head as a basis, I will go too." ”

Anna remembered this sentence, it was Charlemagne's military bishop Tu Bin, when everyone did not go to rescue Roland in a desperate situation, only this Tu Bin, who was not a warrior, after shouting these words, rushed to the battlefield and Roland side by side to face thousands of pagan warriors, and finally died heroically with Roland. This sentence was recited by Goethehilde, and it was depicted exactly Gawain, this great barbarian with a spear in his hand, and his famous words on the battlefield were "Don't back down"? This is true even in the face of death.

"Combine Gawain's courage with my wisdom." Anna last. Muttered this.

The corners of Goethehild's mouth turned into a smile again, and her pale hand took Anna's, "Reawaken the sweet memories, now the pale and feeble patient is right in front of your eyes, while there are red flowers and yellow flowers in front of you." Full of damp rain, and refreshing wind, holding a horse with your lover, going wherever you love, fighting as hard as you like, maybe fighting, it's a kind of fun in itself, Gawain is a very cute man, isn't he, although he sometimes "

"Sometimes it's really deadly!" Anna laughed too, and she clasped Goetheschild's sometimes hot and sometimes cold hands together. Sticking it to his cheek, "Get well, I pray to Our Lady and all the Holy Apostles." How did Gawain die, I have to wait until you recover, and slowly confide in you on the couch, only in the context of you and me's secret conversation. ”

"I'm looking forward to that day, too, but Princess Purple. Do not mourn for my possible calamity, for you must know. With the help of you and Gawain, Goethehild is happy and ready to face anything, including death. ”

"Death will not dissipate and take away our friendship, never." Anna rested her forehead on the back of the other's hand and kept talking, as if to cheer for Gothchild. It's like cheering yourself on.

The sun had set, and the whole room was even darker, and the fire from outside flickered and burst through the cracks in the lattice—many servants around the house. The collected blades of grass were planted like a fence and lit with fire, half fragrant and half pungent smell and smoke, which swirled and rolled throughout the courtyard, which was to drive away any kind of mosquito, and in the bare courtyard and cemetery, Baldwin walked restlessly to and fro, looking at the ink-stained night and the light of the embers, hoping that his wife's condition would turn around.

Gawain also leaned on the pillared pedestal over there, "I have done everything that should be done, and I have done everything I can do." Gothhilde, it's really up to you to make it. ”

In previous times, Gawain had paid for the great discovery of the anti-malaria in his homeland as a "Chinese" (although his status was a bit reluctant), so he knew a little about this: for example, the oil of this drug could not be extracted from the botanical "Artemisia annua", but from the yellow artemisia.

Originally, a very large amount of Artemisia annua could be purified to produce a relatively small amount of antimalarial hormone, and modern chemical technology was required - although Gawain believed that in this era, it was not necessarily impossible to achieve high-precision purification at the level of equipment, but Goethehild's illness was imminent and could not wait.

He could only use the earth distillation method for a limited time, first evaporating the oil from the grass leaves, and then condensing it through the sheep intestine tube, falling into the cold water glass jar in the small copper furnace, and then letting the volatile oil float on the water layer - but this volatile oil, which has very limited resistance to malaria, has a good effect on antipyretics and dysentery, so Gawain talked to himself in front of Anna at first, and the same is the reason.

"Jiehe" Gawain really wants to see her, and entrusts her, even if the other party asks for anything from him, he can consider it, and can send drugs that are ubiquitous in modern society, but Jie He can't touch half of the "ghost shadow" now-after all, Gawain is only her debtor, not the master who can summon her.

Not to mention anything else, what Gao Wen knows best in his heart is that even if Ah Jiehe can give him a simple syringe, two boxes of medicines will do: just this syringe condenses how great and long progress human beings have in it, hollow medical needles, graduated plastic tubes, seamless propulsion rods, and sealed rubber rings

Thinking of this, Gawain was also a little painful, he held his head, as if he had returned to the time when he was powerless against that little village, a pair of small hands on his shoulders, it was Anna with a bitter smile on her face, "Her heat seemed to recede, and she fell asleep again." But don't know when"

Then Anna wrapped her handkerchief around the crook of her arm, and sat on the edge of the pedestal, looking at Baldwin, who was in the cemetery, chopping the mud under her feet with her sword, and asked in a low voice, "Men are in so much pain for women now, but if my sister goes to heaven, Baldwin. Will Eustace remarry in an instant? ”

"Probably so, after all, this is the norm in this society." Gawain did not have any idea of evasion, and said directly to Anna, "Baldwin will not only continue the strings, but will continue to unite with our army and march towards the Holy Sepulchre in the Holy City without delay. Goethehild would become a scar in his heart, and he would remain there quietly, washed by the stardust of time, and perhaps flare up in some rainy weather, faintly aching. ”

"Cruel normality." Anna sighed, drooping her little head a little tiredly, and leaned on Gawain's shoulder, "Hey, big brute. Before you go to Antioch, really, stab me on the couch."

"Hey!" Gao Wen was caught off guard. (To be continued.) )
