I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 56: Likes can be upgraded
Xu Siling believes that when faced with any problem, he can come up with the best solution and handling method in a short time.

But faced with Ella's direct confession of love, he was really confused.

In particular, he had the illusion that he did not dare to talk about love at the age of 28, but a 13-year-old girl dared to say that she knew what marriage was and what love was.

Does Ella know better than herself?
Xu Siling didn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it.

Moreover, Ella knows how to hide very well. During the day, Falina also said that Ella was not hostile to her, which she found strange.

Now after listening to the previous words, there is no hostility in this. Ella already regards Farina as a rival and enemy. The more Xu Siling thinks about it, the more terrifying Ella is, and her possessiveness is not generally strong.

She has a firm attitude that she will not give up on changing someone or something she believes in.

Xu Siling didn't dare to say anything else, but he recognized that Ella was very smart, even to the point of being scary.

Ella's lifeless gray eyes were like the eyes of a horned little devil, able to penetrate people's souls and know what they were thinking.

He obviously didn't say anything before, but Ella was able to understand first what he wanted to ask and what he was questioning.

"Do you think I don't understand love?"

really.

After Ella finished speaking, she was originally waiting for Xu Siling to answer, but seeing that Xu Siling remained silent, she spoke again like a roundworm in Xu Siling's stomach.

"No, you felt my seriousness, and you didn't question my statement." Ella confirmed something through Xu Siling's eyes, and looked slightly unhappy: "You are... looking down on me."

Xu Siling found that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he seemed to be unable to hide his thoughts in front of Ella.

"I'm not looking down on you, you're very smart."

"You didn't question my statement, but you looked down on me because you thought I was too young and didn't understand what love is."

Xu Siling decided not to hide anything anymore, and it would be better to talk openly to each other.

"I can't say that I look down on you. I can only say that at your age, it's too early to talk about love."

"Many girls become mothers at the age of 11 or 12. They have love earlier than me. Why should they look down on me?"

Ella's tone gradually became serious, and she seemed very unhappy that Xu Siling looked down on her. She would rather be questioned and refuted than be looked down upon by Xu Siling.

"Who said getting married and having children means having love?"

Ella didn't answer, but spoke slowly word by word.

"Like can be upgraded. There have never been two people in the world who fell in love from birth. You say I don't understand love? I understand."

"Love is a type of emotion that arises when two people get along. Opposites attract. The relationship between men and women is so delicate. Whether it is sympathy, friendship, or even family affection, it is possible to transform into love."

"I know you just treat me as a child because of my age. It doesn't matter. One day I will become mature. In this process, I will slowly tell you through actions that I am different from other women in your eyes." Same."

"I am already an adult. I just need to make sure that you don't hate me, aren't afraid of me, and don't dislike me."

Xu Siling couldn't help but swallowed. This time he was completely at his wits end.

Ella asked herself directly before, if she dares to love, do you dare?
Now Ella has obviously taken a step back, or she is very confident. Smart people are very confident. She believes that she will not be disliked by Xu Siling, and even believes that Xu Siling will one day completely accept her.

"I can't say enough about you."

Xu Siling admitted his defeat. He regretted coming to chat with Ella. The troubles did not reduce, but he felt that things had become more troublesome.

Ella's serious expression suddenly disappeared, and instead she showed a hint of victory.

"Then my husband, will you still send me home?"

Xu Siling was silent, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't worry, I won't waste your food. I will save the food you give me. I will try my best to hide myself so that no one will notice anything strange about me."

Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins of the Holy Religion.

Broadly speaking, gluttony refers to being addicted to something, such as drinking alcohol, hoarding unnecessary items, indulging in gambling and having fun without making progress, etc. Simply put, it is excessive enjoyment.

But most civilians have little common sense and little IQ. In the eyes of most saints, gluttony means overeating and wasting food.

The Executioner family was not popular, and Ella at home would often feel hungry. She rarely had enough to eat, and her family had long noticed that she was strange because of her many uninterrupted meals.

It’s not that the people of the Frofen family have never thought about marrying Ella to an ordinary person. The executioner has high income and good welfare. The gray income is something ordinary people dare not think about. As long as the dowry is in place, many people are willing to accept someone from the executioner family. daughter.

Not to mention Ella looks so outstanding.

But the problem is also very serious. Ella looks stupid and not very smart. If that's all, that's it.
People in the Frofen family are not worried about someone cheating on them for dowry because they don't dare.

After two newlyweds get together, they are not allowed to divorce, and it is even more sinful if bigamy is discovered.

If you want to get married a second time, you can only do so if one spouse dies.

Therefore, European nobles have always had one wife at home and many lovers outside.

No one would dare to cheat the executioner family for a dowry, such as pretending to marry Ella, and after receiving a generous dowry, secretly kill Ella and marry another woman.This kind of thing will never happen, even though the executioner family has always been looked down upon, no one wants to get close to them.

But again no one dares to mess with the executioner family.

If Ella is just stupid and stupid, with brain problems, it doesn't matter. The flaws are not concealed. She is good-looking, and with the generous dowry, there are still ordinary people who are willing to marry Ella.

But Ella's overeating is unacceptable to ordinary people.

Not to mention Ella's huge appetite, which everyone can't afford to feed. Gluttony alone is one of the seven deadly sins in the Holy Religion.

Regarding the interpretation of the true meaning of gluttony, ordinary saints do not care about the details.

In particular, the Frofen family did not dare to let others know that their daughter Ella still had such a problem.

Many people originally regarded the executioner as a symbol of the devil. If others knew that there was a person who committed the Seven Deadly Sins of Gluttony among the executioners, the life of the Frofen family would be even more difficult.

Therefore, the Fulofen family moved to Tamubao specifically to marry their daughter Ella to Xu Siling.

The dowry of military horses is extremely generous, which also represents the wishes of the Frofen family.

Before Terry came, they never expected to be rejected by Xu Siling, and of course they never thought that Xu Siling would raise this horse.

The cost of raising military horses is also not small, but military horses are hard currency among nobles and can be sold to nobles.

It's better than Terry running around with a bunch of money.

Faced with Ella's request, Xu Siling did not refuse, but he also did not agree.

Seeing this, Ella spoke again.

"I can do a lot of things. Even if you don't treat me as your wife, I will try my best to do housework at home and not cause any trouble to you."

Xu Siling shook his head, sighed after thinking about it, and slowly got up from the bed.

"It's okay if you want to stay."

Before Ella could be happy, he continued.

"But there is something I have to say. First of all, let's not treat each other as husband and wife. I can't accept it now. Then don't worry about food. You are also a child who grew up in the executioner's family. You know how to use my income to let you eat. Having enough to eat is not a problem.”

Ella also got up from the bed, her gray eyes slightly serious as she promised.

"Don't worry, I can make a lot of things! I invented many of the family's torture instruments. I will make one or two these days, and you can show them to the nobles in Raya Town for entertainment."

After hearing this, Xu Siling realized in hindsight that he was still wondering where Ella's masterful production came from. It turned out to be here.

Executioners in the Middle Ages were always obsessed with studying various instruments and methods of punishing and torturing prisoners.

Watching prisoners being executed was a form of entertainment for people at that time. How to make civilians have fun and improve their happiness. The noble lords were very supportive of executioners developing new torture instruments and methods to punish prisoners.

As long as the torture tools and methods are more bizarre, the more painful the punishment will be for the prisoner and the higher the viewing pleasure, the more satisfied the nobles and lords will be, and the more rewards will be given.

Having a territory with a dedicated executioner, the nobles in the territory are extremely proud, because this also tells other surrounding towns that the happiness of the civilians in our town is very high, and there are dedicated executioners to torture prisoners for the entertainment of the civilians.

Therefore, there are reasons why John has always disliked Xu Siling.

Xu Siling doesn't like to develop new torture instruments and punishment methods. In his eyes, beheading is the most important of all, and no punishment is as good as beheading.

The other torture instruments were all left over from research done by Xu Siling's adoptive father when he was still alive.

Now he only uses the same methods of torturing and killing prisoners. The civilians in Raya Town are tired of it, and John feels that the money paid to Xu Siling is in vain.

If he has an executioner who doesn't know how to use torture tools and punishment methods, who can he ask to reason with him?

Seeing that Ella is so confident, Xu Siling will naturally not refuse. It is a good thing that she is willing to do things for the family.

Xu Siling carried other clothes and came to the bench to prepare for bed.

In his heart, he still couldn't accept sleeping in the same bed with such a young girl.

If Ella treats him as a brother, he can still accept sleeping in the same bed.

But thinking that Ella regarded him as her husband, he didn't dare to sleep with Ella.

He is a man, and he is afraid that he cannot bear it.

Ella saw Xu Siling move to sleep on the bench. She hesitated to speak, and then she said nothing.

Since Xu Siling couldn't fully accept her, she decided to build a small bed for herself tomorrow. She couldn't make her husband sleep on the bench every day. She couldn't accept it in her heart.

Feeling sleepy, the two of them slowly fell asleep.

And Xu Siling once again fell into a dream of galloping horses. The person accompanying him in the dream was galloping. Her face was a little blurry, like Falina, or a certain girl.
