Chapter 11: The Witch

After Xu Siling finished bathing and getting dressed, he immediately came to the door of the wooden fence.

He saw that the tall girl was fiddling with her fingers restlessly, especially when she saw him coming, her face was hiding under the flaxen-white scarf.

"Kid, this is not the place for you." Xu Siling saw the person who came, he was very strange, a girl in the Middle Ages couldn't walk around at will, let alone come to find her executioner.

"I'm not a child!" Falina said stubbornly, as if she realized that she was very impolite like this, so she slowly pulled down the scarf to reveal her appearance.

Those mint green eyes set off Farina's skin to be fairer, and her facial features are exquisite, especially when she comes to age, she belongs to a woman who has completely grown up, and she really can't be said to be a child.

It's just that compared with mature women of the same age, it seems some... Pure?

Xu Siling looked at Farina, who was very good-looking, and was even more curious.

"Where's your husband?" Xu Siling looked around, "I remember that without her husband accompanying you, a woman of your age can't travel alone." ”

"I... I'm not married! Falina bit her pink lip, very nervous and shy.

Xu Siling couldn't help but be surprised by the tactics of leaning back, was there really such a good-looking and unmarried woman in the Middle Ages?

He thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is there someone in the family who has been injured?" ”

Executioners would also take over the work of surgeons in the Middle Ages, after all, at that time, medical resources were scarce, and the cost of treating traumatic injuries in the town was still high, and poor families were looking for executioners to help.

At least when it comes to trauma, the executioner's medical skills are no worse than those of ordinary doctors.

Falina hurriedly shook her head, then took a deep breath before blushing and said, "My name is Falina and I live in the mountains. Did you order a large batch of herbs from Mr. Enamel in Raya Town? ”

"I made an order with the owner of the alchemy shop in town."

"Do you want this?"

As she spoke, Falina took out a small bag from her waist, and timidly stepped forward and handed it to Xu Siling.

Xu Siling opened the bag and checked, it was cimicifuga, and the amount was quite a lot.

"I didn't expect to get cimicifuga today, it's pretty good." Xu Siling raised her eyes and smiled gently, "Are you here to help the boss deliver herbs?" ”

"It's not..."Facing Xu Siling's smile, Falina blushed even more and hurriedly waved her hand: "My aunt and I are... The herb picker on the mountain, Mr. Enamel informed us yesterday that we should speed up the search for this kind of herb, and before we left, I overheard him babbling about the executioner... Auntie guessed that you were the customer who bought this herb, so I asked me to come and make sure. ”

Xu Siling suddenly woke up, where is the girl in front of her, what kind of medicine picker, it turned out to be a witch!

When he heard Farina's name, he was still thinking about how not to say his last name, but it turned out that she didn't have a last name.

Witches are not worthy to have a surname, except in some special cases.

And she also cautiously said that she was a medicine picker...

The only woman who collects medicine everywhere in the mountains is a witch, right?

Thinking of the fact that Falina is not married at this age, and he dares to contact him even more knowing that he is an executioner, he is even more sure of Falina's identity.

"And then."

"Auntie thinks... If you can, you can buy herbs directly from us. Speaking of important things, Falina said with great seriousness: "Of course! There are other potions, the price is negotiable, our price will not be very high! ”

Xu Siling finally understood.

Falina and her aunt wanted to skip the middleman, and they didn't want the middleman enamel to make the difference.

If it's just to make the difference, forget it, I'm afraid that the old guy will press the price very fiercely.

After all, they are witches, and they must have an unequal cooperative relationship with the old guy, and even if they are depressed, they have no place to complain.

It would be best if you could have a direct connection with the guests.

But no one wants to have anything to do with witches... But you alone are special.

In terms of background status, prostitutes have a higher status than executioners, and robbers, thieves and others look down on executioners, but when it comes to groups with lower status than executioners... Isn't it a witch?

Although the Holy Religion clearly contradicts the executioner, it still allows the executioner to exist.

But witches are the existence that has been completely forbidden by the Holy Religion.

No wonder Falina was trembling when she contacted her, she was afraid that she was unwilling to communicate with her, and even worried that she would drive her out with a stick in her backhand.

Of course, Xu Siling has no unusual opinion about witches, after all, he doesn't believe in God in the first place, and the dogma of the Holy Sect even tells him to get out.

Looking at Linna's timid expression, I couldn't help but feel slightly distressed.

Both of them are poor people in the Middle Ages.

Just as Xu Siling was about to reply, a figure appeared in the distance on the hillside, he squinted, and immediately saw that it was the old guy from the pharmacy who had found the enamel.

What's going on these days? All come to find themselves, Chinese New Year? The Chinese New Year is not so lively.

"You come in first."

Saying that, Xu Siling immediately grabbed Farina's wrist with one hand, startling her.

dragged people into the courtyard, although it was abrupt, but subconsciously for the sake of Farina, if Enamel found out that the two met here, it would be difficult to explain, but it would hurt Farina.

Falina thought that her identity as a witch could not be hidden, and the executioner was going to kill herself, so frightened that tears were about to come out, and she was just about to cry when Xu Siling held back with words.

"That old guy is here, you go into the house and hide, don't come out without me shouting."

"Huh?"

Looking at the face that wanted to cry and stopped, Xu Siling couldn't help but smile, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her white scarf: "Come in." ”

Falina came back to her senses, her face was white and red at first, and she hurriedly hid in the house obediently.

"Xu, you're up."

The old guy Enamel saw Xu Siling from a distance and said hello.

When people approached, Xu Siling hugged his shoulders and said, "What is the matter that makes you come over early." ”

"Isn't this going to talk to you about medicinal herbs?"

"Oh, the herbs are ready?"

"Of course not so fast!" Enamel smiled, took out a small bag of medicinal herbs and handed it over: "So many for the time being, I'll bring some to you tomorrow." But you know, to collect medicinal materials as soon as possible, the labor cost is a lot, and the price is... It will be slightly higher. ”

Xu Siling took the medicinal herb and weighed it, looking at the enamel in front of him and smiling.

"You're raising the price."

"Huh." Enamel immediately showed a look of embarrassment, "You also know that the kingdom has been fighting, this medicinal material is not universal, it is difficult to collect, you need a large amount in a short time, there are indeed some..."

Nonsense. If the war does not affect the surrounding area, there will be no reason to find it.

Xu Siling snorted: "Treat me like a monkey?" If you raise the price, I don't want it. ”

"Oh?" Enamel was surprised, and then asked with a slightly solemn expression: "You say so, but someone else has contacted you and wants to sell this medicinal herb to you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the heart of Farina, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the house, tightened.

"Is someone looking for you?" Enamel didn't wait for an answer to ask again.

Falina was trembling with fear in the house, and her mind was already thinking about what to do if Xu Siling betrayed her?

If Enamel knew that she was secretly in contact with Xu Siling, then she and her aunt would be in danger.

After all, no one takes a witch's life seriously...

The good-looking face couldn't help it again, and burst into tears, but she still bit her pink lips to prevent herself from making a sound.
