Chapter 44 Chapter Forty-Two

How a monk encourages his comrades; how he himself hangs on a tree A group of majestic warriors embarked on the journey, only thinking about how to fight and pursue, and how to defend themselves on the day of the official battle.The monk encouraged them by saying: "Children, with me leading you, do not fear nor hesitate. God and St. Benedict are with us! If I were as strong as I am bold, I swear to God I would take them Pulling out the feathers like slaughtering a duck! I am not afraid of anything but cannons. Although I can recite a mantra taught to me by the vice abbot of the sacristy in the monastery, it is said that it can avoid all cannons; It will be useful, because I don't believe it at all. But I, the stick holding the cross, will definitely do great things. To tell you the truth, if anyone deserts, I will put my club coat on him and call him He made me a monk and told me to die immediately. My jersey is a cure for cowardice. Have you ever heard of that hound of Monsieur de Moles? He is useless in the country. Put a jersey around its neck, Jesus Christ! Not a rabbit, not a fox can escape him; what's more, it makes all the bitches in the local area have big bellies. It is said that this The dog was still impotent, de frigidis et maleficiatis."

Talking angrily, the monk was walking under a walnut tree on the way to the willow grove, and the front of his helmet hung suddenly from a branch of a thick branch of the walnut tree.He still used his spurs to urge the horse forward, not thinking that his horse could not stand the stimulation, so he jumped forward suddenly. The monk wanted to get rid of the brim of his hat, let go of the rein, so he was hung on the tree, but the horse Run away from under him.In this way, the monk hung on the walnut tree, shouted for help, killed someone, and fell into the trap. Edmond saw it first, and he called to Gao Kangda, and said, "Your Highness, come and see the hanging Abu Salom!" Gao Kang turned his horse's head and saw the monk's appearance and the hanging posture, said to Edmund:

"You are wrong in comparing him to Abu Salom. Abu Salom has hair on his head. The monk has no hair on his head. He has ears." The friar said, "For the sake of the devil, help me! Is this the time for gossip? I think you are like the missionaries of the Holy See. They say that whoever sees someone in danger of death does not first persuade him to repent of his sins. If I help him to get pardon, but save him instead, he himself will be severely punished by excommunication. Therefore, if I see such people falling into the river and dying, I will never reach out to rescue them, I will definitely Give them a set of principles first, de contemptu mundi et fuga seculi②, and only fish them after they are drowned straight.”

Jimnast said: "Stay still, sweetie, I'll save you, you're a lovely little monachus: 'Monachus in claustroNon valet ova duo; Sed, quando est extra, Bene valet triginta①.' ① Latin: "Impotent impotence." See Article 15 of Volume IV of the Holy See Decree. ① Absalom: The son of David, because he betrayed his father, his long hair hung on a tree when he fled, and his horse ran away, so he was stabbed to death. ② Latin: "the principle of escaping from the world". ③ Latin: "monk". ① Latin: "A monk who does not leave the monastery is not worth two cows; once a monk leaves the monastery, thirty cows are not exchanged."

"I have seen more than five hundred people hanged, but I have never seen such a beautiful one. If I can be so beautiful, I would rather hang myself for the rest of my life." The monk said: "Have you finished your lesson? For God's sake, save me, since you don't for the devil's sake. Talk to me about wearing this dress, in a tem-pore et locoprelibatis you will regret it later. of." Jimnast dismounted from his horse, climbed up the walnut tree, held the armor plate under the monk's armpit with one hand, and with the other hand took off the brim of his helmet from the branch of the tree, letting the monk go down to the ground first, He came down by himself.

When the friar came down, he threw his cloak one by one on the ground, took up his crucifix again, and mounted his horse, which Edmond had recovered for him. Then everyone talked and laughed and walked towards the avenue in the willow forest. ② Latin: "the right time and place".
