I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 81 Falina’s strangeness
"Are you trying to say that I'm imagining things again?"

Behind Ella's gentle, intelligent, and godless eyes, there is extraordinary vitality, fearlessness and confidence in the world. Xu Siling has always had a strange feeling in her, which is beyond Xu Siling's ordinary life. .

“Men always think too little, not us women who think too much.”

Ella took out the uneaten bread from her arms and broke it into pieces to eat.

"Servants, equipment, horses. Except for the fiefdom, she gave everything she could. You even said that she would like to choose a good village to give to you in three years. Husband, don't you think all this is wonderful? This is a village, not a manor."

"I said from the beginning that there is something wrong with that noble lady. She must be plotting something against her husband."

After Terry left, Ella turned on her caring little lady mode.

With her always keen insight, she understood that her feelings were not an illusion and that there was indeed something wrong with Mayfair.

But she didn't know what the problem was. She had to find an opportunity to contact Mayfair again before she could confirm it.

Xu Siling scratched his face, mainly because he didn't know the answer.

You can’t tell Ella that Fei’er likes her, so she gives him all the good things she can, right?
Especially there was a faint smell of vinegar in the air, which made Xu Siling's bones feel numb.

"Actually, there is a reason why I was knighted."

Then Xu Siling briefly talked about his contribution to the Black Death.

At least it proves that his contribution to Raya Town and Mayfair is very great. Although the reward of this knighthood varies from person to person, it is at least what it should be.

Ella had always been speculating that Xu Siling had researched on the Black Death, but now that it has been acknowledged by herself, it is much clearer.

After hearing the explanation, Ella seemed to feel a little more comfortable, and the vinegar smell in the air became much lighter.

only.
"I know how powerful my husband is." After Ella finished eating the bread, she stood up and patted her cloak. Her gray eyes looked at Xu Siling with deep meaning: "But I want to give you a simple reminder that Miss Raya may like you. Maybe she doesn’t know it.”

Hearing Ella's words, Xu Siling's fragile little heart trembled.

No way, Ella can see all this?
Looking up at Ella's face that could be broken, her head seemed to have two little devil horns.

"Why do you say that?"

"When I first met her, she was dressed so exquisitely and gorgeously, obviously deliberately. As a noble, her attitude towards you was too friendly, and her words were even very tolerant of you."

"Ella, you are worrying too much. She is a noble. There is nothing strange about her dressing up."

"Husband, you are too stupid. I am also a woman. Women will not deliberately dress themselves up for no reason. A woman can suddenly dress herself up, either to attend some special occasion. Or, she wants to get someone's attention and praise. "

The calm gray eyes were like a sharp sword stabbing into Xu Siling's heart.

He was like a guy who was caught raping in bed, he couldn't help but touch his forehead.

"Thinking about it from a husband's perspective, this is a good thing. It improves your situation as an executioner. There will be countless benefits and wealth waiting for you in the future. After all, there is a noble who is willing to accept you."

Having said this, Ella stopped talking and looked around the yard.

The servants were still helping to sort out the 'dowry' she had brought from Tamubao, while the cook and the groom were chatting in the stable.

"Husband, don't think too much. Maybe it's your change of status that makes me feel a little stressed."

Ella rubbed her face rarely, and seemed to feel a little strange about herself.

"Normally I wouldn't say these words."

After the 'thrilling' conversation, Xu Siling asked the chef to take out the stew cooked yesterday and reheat it.

When Ella saw the stew, she put aside the strange feelings in her heart and ate it happily.

Now the servants know Ella's identity and treat her with respect.

However, the groom carefully reminded Xu Siling that since he had become a knight and separated from the executioner status, he would have less contact with other executioners, especially those from the executioner family.

Of course, he didn't say it so directly. He just heard Terry say that he wanted to move the entire executioner family to Raya Town and vassal it under Xu Siling's name.

Forget it, Xu Siling is a person personally recognized by Miss Raya after all. Especially when Raya Town was affected by the Black Death, he also worked hard for Raya Town, and everyone saw it.

What happened to the other executioners?
Just because people in Raya Town can accept Xu Siling does not mean they can accept other executioners.

Of course Xu Siling didn't care about the groom's persuasion. In the end, this was all his personal selfishness.

He himself is helpless in Raya Town. After becoming a knight, he has too many things to do. If the Frofen family is willing to move here, it will be much easier for him.

Although he can also operate well in Raya Town, there will always be people willing to follow him and help him do things.

But as Terry said, they are in-laws and executioners. To some extent, their benefits and concerns are the same.

Many times, the level of loyalty and caring in doing things cannot be achieved by just looking for someone from outside.

Just thinking about the people from the Frofen family moving here, there are people competing with him for his head, and he feels a little uncomfortable.

No, I'm a knight now, so I have to take a longer view.

In the future, I will personally behead the prisoners who need to be beheaded, and leave other prisoners who do not need to be beheaded to them?
Although other punishments can also gain skill proficiency, the extent is very low and not as substantial as beheading.

After some time, Falina also came to the house. Seeing so many people in the yard, she was a little afraid to come in.

She was very happy after learning that Xu Siling was canonized as a knight.

But I don’t know what happened. After Farina brought the medicinal herbs, she left in a state of despair not long after.

This left Xu Siling confused.

Farina always likes to stay at home for a while before leaving, but this time she didn't stay long before leaving.

Especially the contrast between the state when I first arrived and the expression when I left.

Ella noticed the changes in Falina, but she didn't say anything.

The decision to expand the courtyard will have to wait until Terry arrives. The servants and others have nothing to do, and a group of people gather around the courtyard to chat.

Xu Siling was thinking about how to find things to do for these servants, while Ella took on the role of a knight's wife and began to arrange their work.

It has to be said that Ella is quite a bit more serious when she becomes serious, but her naive expression really makes the servants a bit unable to take herself seriously.

But given my status, it’s not okay to do things disobediently.

She arranged for the servants to spread weeds all over the stable, and then said that this was where they would sleep these days. Like Xu Siling, she did not want these servants to sleep in the same room as herself.

The servants didn't have any objections, because the current common people were very poor, and many families did not have beds. They just slept on weeds or benches. It was not unusual to sleep with horses.

It's just that the groom and the chef felt a little uncomfortable.They are specially selected people from the inner fort. Not to mention following Xu Siling to enjoy spicy food, at least their living standards should not be lowered too much.

Unexpectedly, five people, men and women, were sleeping on a haystack.

There are now three horses in the stable, one is the dowry horse Ella rode over when they first met, the second horse was given to Xu Siling by Feier, and the third horse was ridden back from Tamubao by Ella again.

The third horse is not a riding horse and is used specifically for agricultural purposes.

Ella asked the servant to take the horse to the open space outside to hoe the ground, and wait for the season to find an opportunity to sow seeds.

The grooms and chefs were not idle either, asking them to collect the tools that Ella usually used.

She likes to do some handicrafts. Xu Siling's home reserves can indeed be used as a grocery store, but some special tools are still missing.

Seeing Ella's orderly arrangements, Xu Siling sat on the bench and watched with great interest.

I have to say that it is comfortable to have someone you trust to help take care of it, and you don’t have to worry about anything.

Xu Siling felt comfortable as his own boss, and he enjoyed this feeling very much.

After Ella arranged everything, he pulled Ella to sit next to him.

"Ella, once the news about your brother Trina is confirmed, I will plan a trip in the next few days."

Ella was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"I am going to arrest the forest bandits in Raya Town. These bandits have gone too far recently, especially since they know that the fleeing foreigners are rushing to Raya Town. They have gathered on the main road of Raya Town to rob, rape and kill. I can't accept it." Xu Siling patted her chest, "After all, I am also a knight of Raya Town, and it is necessary to contribute to the territorial protection of Raya Town."

Seeing Ella's disbelieving expression, Xu Siling quickly added: "This is all for justice!"

Terry came back very quickly, almost running the horse back to Tamubao out of breath, and then after discussing the matter, he quickly changed horses and drove to Raya Town.

After discussion, Ella's father Xi Mei confirmed that he would move to Raya Town and live under the name of Xu Siling.

This matter was originally a big deal, but in front of the fact that the executioner became a knight, it seemed not to be a big deal.

Terry brought news that all the people from the Frofen family will not move here for the time being, because some people from the Frofen family also live in Tamubao, and because of the witch hunt in Tamubao, witches will be executed in the future. It takes a few people to do it.

Anyway, most of the family members have already started packing their luggage overnight, preparing to rush to Raya Town tomorrow.

This speed surprised Xu Siling.

But think about it, the executioner has always been rejected by others, and naturally has no sense of belonging to each town, so there is no objection to moving around.

Xu Siling calmed down after knowing that the people from the Fulofen family would move here.

At least you don’t have to worry about expanding your yard, or even pay for it.

Of course the Frofens would be happy to take matters into their own hands.

Terry happily returned to Raya Town to tell the news, and after dinner, he mentioned the stable 5+1.

Terry was very dissatisfied with this. Ella did not show her smart side in front of Terry, but she still rigidly asked him to sleep in the stable.

In fact, Xu Siling knew very well that he and Ella had the same idea in this regard, but their purposes were different.

He doesn't like other people sleeping in his main house, simply because of his long-standing sense of territoriality and his need for personal privacy.

As for Ella, she didn't want people to see her more, so she probably had an extra small bed in the bedroom.

If the servants and Terry knew that he and Ella didn't sleep together, who knows what nonsense would be spread.

In particular, this more or less involves Ella's subconscious self-esteem that she is not aware of.

She has always called herself Xu Siling's wife. If someone discovers that she is a wife, she cannot sleep with her husband.

For her, it may not be a blow to her dignity.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

People from the Frofen family have arrived in Raya Town one after another.

Xu Siling has met some members of the Fulofen family, but not all of them.

Now that they knew that Xu Siling, as an executioner, was actually canonized as a knight, they all stepped forward to greet him out of curiosity.

After some contact, Xu Siling could see that the people in the Fulofen family looked at him with respectful restraint.

The fundamental respect is the influence of secular status and class.

Even if they knew that Xu Siling was still the executioner, their identity as a knight already made them feel pressured.

Fortunately, they saw that Xu Siling didn't have any aristocratic airs. Instead, he spoke and treated others in a friendly manner. He was obviously getting along with them as an executioner, and they felt very comfortable with each other.

The executioner family has many talented people.

Because if you have money, you have to spend it, and most of it will be spent on children's personal interests and hobbies.

Therefore, in terms of carpentry and engineering design, people from the Frofen family are involved.

After looking at the terrain of the hillside, I drew the entire hillside topography and house structure design drawings overnight.

Houses are ready to be built at the foot of the hillside and on both sides of the road leading up the hillside.

There are many people in the Frofen family, and there are more than 60 people of all ages, including men, women, and children.

Without careful planning, the hillside may not really be able to accommodate so many people.

After asking Fei'er, Fei'er didn't care about the matter and directly assigned the entire hillside to Xu Siling, allowing him to start construction as he pleased.

As for the arrival of the Fulofen family, she was quite happy. The more power Xu Siling had, didn't it also mean that she was stronger.

I thought that the Frofen family would go to Raya Town to find workers to do work, but I didn’t expect that all the work would be done by themselves.

This phenomenon is sad and helpless.

It’s not that Ximei is unwilling to spend money to find people to work, but many times if you pay to find workers, they may not be willing to work for the executioner. Even if you pay a high price, who knows whether the workers will work seriously?
Therefore, the Executioner family has always been 'self-produced and sold'. Those who can do it themselves do not bother others. This is a strange phenomenon, which leads to the emergence of many capable people in the Executioner family.

As Xu Siling learned in the past two days, there are people in the Fulofen family who are good at carving, some who are good at making jewelry, and some who love to study trebuchets.
Things went very smoothly these two days, especially the construction of the hillside started very quickly under the executioner family with strong execution ability.

What made Xu Siling a little strange was that Farina was a little strange.

In the past two days, I quietly brought the herbs here and left without staying too much.
