I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 12 The Limitations of Friends

However, Xu Siling's next words made Falina stop her tears of fear.

"Oh?" Xu Siling didn't answer the old guy Enamel, but asked with serious eyes: "You mean other people also sell this medicinal material?"

Of course he would not answer this question directly, and it could even be said that there was no need to answer it.

Who does Falang think he is? Although everyone in Raya Town despises him as an executioner, he is not someone to be trifled with.

"Does anyone else have this medicinal ingredient? Otherwise, what do you mean by this question? Are you teaming up with others to deceive me?"

Facing Xu Siling's aggressive questioning, Nailang was blindfolded, and he stuttered in fright.

"It's okay. No one collects these medicinal materials. You need them recently, so I called for them."

"Then what do you mean by your question?"

"It's just pure curiosity." Enamel quickly collected his emotions and coughed.

Xu Siling snorted coldly: "Are you worried that someone will come to me? I don't know how long someone will come to me. Don't you think your question is ridiculous?"

"I'm just curious. After all, you have such a big demand for this medicinal material, and you suddenly told me that you don't want it."

"Although I am in urgent need, what you have given me now is enough for me to use for a while. If you want to raise the price to sell me, I can only say that I am not stupid. At worst, I will ask others to help me find it, not necessarily just Need you. Do you understand, old guy?"

"I understand." Nailang touched his forehead and realized that Xu Siling was frightened into a cold sweat.

"The price remains unchanged. If you can't do this business, please refund the deposit to me. If you still want to do this business, give me a batch of medicinal materials tomorrow! Do you hear me?"

Nailang rubbed his old hands together and nodded: "I know, I know."

"Leave far away!"

After hearing this, Enamel left quickly. After leaving, he cursed as he walked away.

"Who do you think is willing to come to your place!"

Until Enamel disappeared on the hillside, Xu Siling snorted and shook his head, then turned to shout to Falina in the room, indicating that she could come out.

Falina walked out of the house, her head slightly lowered, half of her face hidden in the scarf, her timid appearance was pitiful.

Xu Siling took a closer look and found that her eyes were still wet. She was obviously crying when she was hiding in the house, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Why are you still crying?"

When Farina was discovered that she was crying, she immediately blushed again and wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.

"I thought I thought Mr. Executioner would tell me what happened here."

Xu Siling shook his head: "My name is Xu Siling."

"Mr. Siling."

"Call me Xu."

Mayfair calls herself sir to tease him, and Farina calls herself sir because she is really afraid of offending him.

"Is this appropriate?" Falina couldn't help but raise her head to confirm.

"I like to be more relaxed. You don't have to be so cautious." Xu Siling walked into the house, took out an apple and stuffed it into her hand: "Eat it on the way back later."

Falina suddenly took two steps closer nervously: "Are you going to drive me away?"

"I meant that you would be on your way back later, and I didn't say that I would drive you away." Xu Siling couldn't help but smile bitterly at the sensitive Farina.

But it was precisely because of such a sensitive state that Xu Siling felt that this was the unrecognized person who lived behind medieval religion.In fact, if it were the usual Xu Siling, he might not be so kind to Falina.

The main reason was that Mayfair's appearance that night changed his mind somewhat.

Mayfair regards him as a friend, which also shows that she can also make friends.

In the past 20 years, everyone he came into contact with regarded him as an alien, stayed away from him and despised him, and no one would accept him.

He was already used to it, and he never felt that he could make friends, nor did he feel that he needed friends.

But Mayfair's appearance really changed his mind.

It's not that he can't make friends, it's just that the friends he makes are subject to certain conditions.

For example, the atheist Mayfair, the executioner family of Tamubao, or Falina, who is classified as a heretic by religion, may become friends with him.

Xu Siling didn't feel like he was a Holy Mother, but whether it was out of dissatisfaction with the humanistic background of this world or the profit from purchasing medicinal materials, he felt that he had to help Farina.

Falina was tall and only reached Xu Siling's chin. After thinking about it, she seemed to have decided something. She asked timidly, "You have already guessed the identity of my aunt and I, right?"

Xu Siling nodded.

"Then why are you so nice to me?"

"I'm not being nice to you, I just don't want others to make too much of a difference. Besides, my situation is no better than yours, so let's just help each other."

"Then are you willing to accept what I said earlier?"

"Well, I can get the herbs I want from you, and I have an urgent need in the near future. If possible, I can take as much as I have." Xu Siling took out the coins he had just prepared and handed them over. "You can take the money first." , we’ll talk about it when it’s not enough.”

Seeing this, Falina quickly waved her hand and pushed it away: "I don't need so much. And if possible, I would like to exchange half of the coins with you for grain of the same value. It may be a bit troublesome for you."

Xu Siling thought for a while and understood that witches almost all live in the mountains, and food and daily necessities are urgently needed.

Even if you get the coins, you can only find other people, or people like millers, to purchase supplies, but most of the prices are on the high side.

"That's it, I can give you the food now."

Falina immediately became happy after hearing this. She looked at Xu Siling's back as she turned around to get the food, and felt a little moved in her heart.

Before coming here, her aunt had always warned her that executioners were murderers without batting an eyelid. They would even arrest some witches and take them to the execution platform to hang them. This made Falina always worried on the way here.

When she was talking to Xu Siling earlier, she kept a close eye on Xu Siling's expression. As soon as something was wrong, she would turn around and run away.

But Xu Siling's behavior and attitude towards herself made her feel that she was being taken care of, and her heart felt warm.

"It feels completely different from what Auntie said."

Just when Farina looked down at her chest and muttered, Xu Siling had already come over with a bag of grain.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, nothing!" Farina saw so much food in a blink of an eye and couldn't help being surprised: "So much food."

"You take the food back first." Xu Siling said seriously, "Then leave the other half of the coins. When you get a batch of herbs for me, I will pay you. This is not a matter of trust, this is a transaction. You should be able to I understand." He thought for a moment before giving Farina the full amount of money, she might feel panicked.

Falina Chicken nodded: "I know. There is actually some stock of this herb at home. I will get it when I get back later and bring it to you!"

Falina hugged the grain securely, and Xu Siling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no problem with her carrying it.

The two exchanged some more details, and then Xu Siling sent her out. After seeing her disappear into the woods, he returned to the house with peace of mind.
