Eagle Byzantium

"So I am still afraid of death, and I am not as free and easy as the letter said. Women are often born weak." Gottschild lamented, tears streaming down her face, "There is a comparison, but Anna, don't be angry."

Anna placed the jug containing the grass leaf decoction in front of the bed, "Tell me, sister, we are the closest friends and have sworn an oath."

In the darkness, Gotschild's eyes seemed to be burning. It was unclear whether this ointment could really save her, but her consciousness and speech were still very clear, "That's what I saw you standing on just now." Outside the curtain, hearing Gawain's voice on the couch made me feel more at ease."

Anna immediately had a stunned expression, but Gotshilde then apologized and struggled to laugh, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any bad thoughts about your prodigal son - it's just that when I know that my husband is waiting passively, When watching my death, Gawain’s appearance at this time is really as dramatic as the knight in bright armor appearing in front of the lady waiting for salvation.”

Then Gottschild closed her eyes and softly recited a line from "The Song of Roland", "On my head, I will go too."

Anna remembered this sentence, which was said by Tubin, the bishop who accompanied Charlemagne. When no one went to rescue Roland, who was in desperate situation, only Tubin, who was not a warrior, rushed to the scene after shouting these words. Go to the battlefield and face thousands of pagan warriors side by side with Roland, and finally die heroically together with Roland. This sentence recited by Gotheschild accurately depicts Gawain. This great barbarian holds a spear. Isn't his famous saying on the battlefield "Don't back down"? This is true even in the face of death.

"Combine Gawain's courage with my wisdom." Anna finally murmured these words.

Gothilde's smile returned to her lips. Her pale hand held Anna's, "Rekindle the sweet memories. Now the pale and feeble patient is right in front of you. While your eyes are full of red flowers, yellow flowers, wet rain, and Refreshing wind. Hold the horse with your lover, go wherever you love, and fight as hard as you love... Maybe the struggle itself is a kind of fun. Gawain is a very cute man, isn't he? He sometimes..."

"Sometimes it's really terrible!" Anna also laughed. She clasped Goteshilde's hands, which were sometimes hot and sometimes cold, and put them against her cheeks. "Get well. I pray to the Holy Mother and all the holy apostles. How did Gawain die? I have to wait until you recover. I am confiding to you slowly on the couch, with only you and me.”

"I'm also looking forward to that day, but Princess Purple, don't be sad for my possible disaster, because you have to know. With the help of you and Gawain, Gottshilde can face any situation happily and calmly. things, including death.”

"Death will not dissipate and take away our friendship, never." Anna rested her forehead on the back of the other person's hand and kept saying it, as if to cheer up Gottschild and herself.

The sun sets. The whole room became darker and darker, and the firelight outside continued to shine through the gaps in the window lattice, flickering and bursting - it was many servants. Go around the house and gather the grass blades. It was inserted like a fence and ignited with fire. It was half fragrant and half pungent smell and smoke, swirling and rolling in the entire courtyard. This was driving away any kind of mosquitoes, in the bare courtyard and In the cemetery, Baldwin walked restlessly back and forth, looking at the ink-stained night and the light of the remaining fire, hoping that his wife's condition would improve.

Gawain also leaned on the pillar pedestal over there, "I have done everything I should do, and I have done everything I can. Gottschild, it really depends on your destiny."

In the previous era, Gawain had donated money to major anti-malarial discoveries in his motherland as a "Chinese" (although his identity was a bit reluctant), so he knew a little about this aspect: for example, this The oil of this medicine cannot be extracted from the botanical "Artemisia annua", but from Artemisia annua.

Originally, only a very large amount of Artemisia annua could be purified to produce a relatively small amount of anti-malarial agents, and modern chemical technology had to be used - although Gao Wen believed that in this era, achieving high-precision purification was not necessarily possible at the equipment level. It was impossible, but Gottschild's condition was imminent and there was no way he could wait any longer.

He could only use the local distillation method within a limited time. He first evaporated the oil from the grass leaves, then passed it through the intestine tube and dropped it into a glass jar of cold water in a small copper furnace to condense, and then let the volatile oil float on the water. On the water layer - but this volatile oil has very limited resistance to malaria, but it has a good effect on reducing fever and dysentery, so Gawain started talking to himself in front of Anna for the same reason.

"Ajiehe..." Gawain really wanted to see her and entrusted her with it. Even if the other party asked for something from him, he could consider it. He could send medicines that are everywhere in modern society, but Ajie Now, He can't even touch half of the "ghost shadow" - after all, Gawain is just her debtor, not the master who can summon her.

Apart from anything else, Gawain knew that even if Ajeh could bring him a simple syringe and two boxes of medicine, it would be enough: this syringe alone condensed the huge and long progress of mankind, the hollow medical needle, the plastic tube with scales, the seamless push rod, the sealed rubber ring...

Thinking of this, Gawain was also a little painful. He hugged his head, as if he had returned to the past when he was powerless to do anything about that small village. A pair of small hands rested on his shoulders. It was Anna with a bitter smile on her face, "Her fever seemed to have subsided and she fell asleep again. But I don't know when..."

Then Anna wrapped the towel around her arm and sat next to Gawain on the edge of the pedestal. Looking at Baldwin in the cemetery, constantly chopping the mud under his feet with the blade of the sword, she whispered, "Man, what is the difference between a man and a woman?" I am so miserable for a woman now, but if my sister enters heaven, will Baldwin Eustace marry again in a flash? "

"I think 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 remarry, but will also continue to unite with our army without delay and advance towards the Holy City and the Holy Tomb. Godhild will become a scar in his heart, quietly staying there, accepting the cleansing of the stardust of time, and may flare up in some rainy weather, causing dull pain. "

"It's a cruel norm." Anna sighed, drooping her little head a little tiredly, and leaning on Gawain's shoulder, "Hey, big barbarian. Before going to Antioch, really, pierce me on the couch..."
