Henry didn't pay attention to Xu Siling's expression, and continued coaxing.

"You're not married in your twenties, but I've been married since I was fifteen and an adult, and you must not have even touched a girl's hand now."

"I don't want to see you in the bathhouse, let alone do your business."

"Take the time to visit your subordinates in Tamubao, you are so handsome, and the same executioner will not dislike your identity, and will definitely accept you as a son-in-law!"

...

Xu Siling didn't pay attention to Henry's verbosity, his mind was full of unhappiness now.

It is normal for executioners to marry each other, after all, other normal families would not marry their daughters to executioners.

But here's the problem...

For so many years, he was the only professional executioner in the surrounding castles and towns.

Therefore, whenever there are prisoners in other castles and towns who want to be executed, they all have to seconded Xu Siling to use it in the past.

To put it simply, the original Xu Siling contracted the head and execution of the entire area near Laya Town.

Now that there is a new executioner family in the nearby Tamu Fort, won't everyone be divided in half in the future?

It's equivalent to half of the head, and I can't cut it myself!

There were many criminals in the Middle Ages, but there were not many criminals who needed to be executed.

Most of the guys who break some small laws just go to jail and pay a fine.

Like a robber in the field who is caught, the soldiers are directly killed on the spot and deprived of the spoils, where will they be brought back for execution.

Xu Siling himself calculated, if he didn't count other punishments, it would take an average of two months to cut off a person's head.

This is still the case with the business of contracting all the surrounding towns, otherwise how could there be so many prisoners who need to be executed by relying on the business of Raya Town alone?

At this moment, the door of the building opened, and the lord and the magistrate came out in front and back.

Lord John wore an ornate robe, usually made of expensive silk or delicate fabrics, which was brightly coloured and opulent, with fur or feather embellishments on the cuffs and neckline for added luxury and majesty.

With his chin covered and his face a little angry, John said to the sheriff behind him as he walked, "We need to find her quickly!" Hurry up and send someone out. If you can't find her, you don't want to live! ”

The magistrate trembled behind him and nodded hurriedly: "My lord, I understand. ”

Xu Siling subconsciously looked at Johns' exposed neck.

This neck is a little short, but it's not easy...

John was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a little chilly in his neck, and turned his head to find that Xu Siling was looking at him.

"Lord Gui'an." Xu Siling bent down slightly and saluted the handrail.

It's your own boss anyway, so you have to give some face.

"Talk to the nobles and take off your hood." Johns didn't have a good temper.

Xu Siling realized it later, took off his hood, revealing his brown eyes, his face was delicate and handsome, no matter who looked at him for the first time, he would not associate him with the identity of the executioner.

John recognized Xu Siling, his eyes were very disdainful, he pointed his finger at Xu Siling, and then turned his head and said to the law officer: "If people can't find it, let Xu cut off your head tomorrow and hang it on this door!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Siling's gaze subconsciously moved to the neck of the law enforcement officer.

After Johnson finished speaking, he stepped away, and a group of guards outside the house hurriedly followed.

After the people left, the law enforcement officer touched his neck that felt cold and breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Xu Siling, coughed lightly, and his tone was a little embarrassed: "Xu, you are so punctual every month." ”

Of course, Xu Siling wouldn't ask the reason why Johns was angry just now, it's better to have more than one thing, it's better to treat it as if he didn't see it, but he was already thinking in his heart that it was possible to cut off the head of the magistrate tomorrow.

"Sheriff, old ways."

The magistrate nodded and didn't say anything, motioned for Xu Siling to wait at the door, and then turned back to the house to arrange things.

After a while, someone brought a small bag of coins and a copy of the paper to Xu Siling.

He greeted Henry, turned and left.

Before taking the documents to the grain store to exchange for food, Xu Siling first went to the clerk to buy a few books, and then hurriedly rushed to the only alchemy shop in Raya Town.

At the door of the alchemy shop, the shopkeeper was an old guy who was selling alchemy potions at the door, and he was wearing a black robe and hood like Xu Siling.

Xu Siling didn't grind: "What I wanted, did you find it?" ”

"Cimicifuga..."The old guy muttered a few times, as if he was dementia-like, "I asked someone to look for two months, and I just came to the news yesterday, and I asked for a box to come, you can see if it is." ”

Saying that, the old guy turned around and entered the store, and after a while, he came out with a wooden box and handed it to Xu Siling.

When opened, you will be greeted by several short oval purplish-red root tubercles.

"You said you only needed the stems and roots, and they brought them here, are you looking for them, kid?"

Xu Siling pinched it around and checked it, and took a light bite, the taste was sour, so he was slightly relieved to confirm.

"Yes. I need a lot of herbs, you arrange someone to help me find them, and I want as many as I want. ”

The old guy was a little surprised: "What do you want to do so much." ”

Xu Siling's indifferent eyes glanced at him, and the old guy immediately shrank his neck and shut up and didn't ask more.

"Deposit."

Don't hesitate to throw the allowance you just received on the table.

The old guy hurriedly took it and checked the meeting, and a smile appeared on his old face.

"Come back in five days when you're free."

Xu Siling turned around and left.

Looking at his back as he left, the old guy began to mumble again.

"I haven't seen anyone use this herb, what is the use..."

After exchanging a large amount of dry food, Xu Siling went home.

The first thing he did when he got home was to place the cimicifuga, and when the weather was good, he would take it outside to dry, and the cohosh could be used as medicine.

In fact, this cohosh is black cohosh, which is not what Xu Siling wants, but it can be used, and it can't be forced too much in the Middle Ages.

It is also very simple for him to ask for this cimicifuga, because the cohosh turtle nail soup recipe.

The ingredients needed for this recipe are ordinary, but the effect is not ordinary, because it can cure the Black Death!

Although he didn't know if the soup made by black cohosh could achieve what he needed, he could only prepare everything he needed.

The original soup recipe of the original material is only sixty percent likely to treat the Black Death, and now the main material is replaced by black cohosh, and I don't know whether the effect will increase or decrease...

Xu Siling sighed lightly, he didn't know much about the history of the Middle Ages, he only vaguely remembered a few famous characters, and he didn't know anything else.

However, the outbreak of the Black Death in 1347 certainly did not forget it.

He didn't have much money to live alone in the mountains, but all the money he earned was invested in preparing for the Black Death.

He didn't remember exactly when the Black Death broke out in the Kingdom of France, but he counted the same time.

He has distilled diluted reserves of medical alcohol, also made homemade masks, protective clothing made of various oil soaks, etc...

So Xu Siling, who does not live in a town with chaotic sanitation and lives alone on the hillside, is of course very satisfied.

Living alone and not in contact with people, even if there is no soup recipe, as long as other health extinction transmission isolation work is done, he is sure that he will not be infected with the Black Death.

How terrible it is to know that the Black Death lasted in Europe for six years, claiming the lives of nearly half of the entire population of Europe... This had to make Xu Siling take it seriously.

So the family of executioners who moved to Tamu Fort to steal people's heads... Grab it, maybe they will be taken away by God as soon as the Black Death comes?
