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's enamel, but asked with a solemn look in his eyes: "You mean that other people also have this medicinal herb for sale?" ”
Of course, he will not answer this question head-on, or even say that there is no need to answer it.
Enamel thinks of himself as someone, and although everyone in Raya Town looks down on him as an executioner, he is not easy to mess with.
"Is it that someone else also has this medicinal herb in their hands, otherwise what do you mean by this question? Are you uniting others to trap me? ”
In the face of Xu Siling's menacing questioning, the enamel was blindfolded, and he stammered when he was frightened.
"No... There's nothing to do, how can someone collect this medicinal material, and it's also what you need recently, so I called someone..."
"And what do you mean by your question?"
"It's simple... Curiosity. Enamel hurriedly collected her emotions and coughed.
Xu Siling snorted coldly: "If you are nervous, someone will look for me... I don't know how long I've been going to be alone, 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 suddenly told me not to."
"I need it urgently, but what you've given me now is enough for me for a while. If you want to sell me at a higher price, I can only say that I am not stupid, and if it is a big deal, I will let someone else find it for me, not necessarily only you. Do you understand, old fellow? ”
"Understood..."Enamel touched her forehead, only to find that she was scared into a cold sweat by Xu Siling.
"The price remains the same, if you can't do this business, you will refund me the deposit, and you still want to do this business, and you will give me a batch of medicinal materials tomorrow!" Did you hear that? ”
The two old hands of the enamel rubbed together and nodded: "Got it, got it." ”
"Get out of here!"
After hearing this, Enamel hurriedly left, and after leaving the distance, he cursed as he walked.
"Who do you think would be happy to come to you!"
Until the enamel disappeared into the hillside, Xu Siling snorted and shook his head, turned his head and shouted to Falina in the house, signaling that she could come out.
Falina came out of the room, bowed her head slightly, half of her face hid in the scarf, and her timid appearance was pitiful.
Xu Siling took a closer look and found that her eyes were still moist, and she was obviously crying when she was hiding in the house, and she couldn't smile bitterly.
"Why are you still crying?"
When Farina was found crying, she immediately blushed again and wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.
"I thought... I thought Mr. Executioner was going to tell me about being here..."
Xu Siling shook his head: "My name is Xu Siling." ”
"Mr. Silling."
"Call me Xu."
Phil called herself Mr. to tease him, and Falina called herself Mr. because she was really afraid of angering him.
"Is that appropriate?" Falina couldn't help but look up in confirmation.
"I like to take it easy, you don't have to be so careful." Xu Siling walked into the house, took out an apple and stuffed it into her hand: "Let's eat it on the way back." ”
Falina suddenly took two steps closer nervously: "Are you going to drive me away?" ”
"I mean, I didn't say I'd chase you away on the way back." Xu Siling couldn't smile bitterly at this sensitive Farina.
But it is precisely because of such a sensitive state that Xu Siling sighs that this is a person who is not recognized behind the religion of the Middle Ages.
In fact, if it were the usual Xu Siling, he might not be so good to Farina.
The main thing is that Fei'er's appearance that night changed his mind somewhat.
Fei'er regards him as a friend, which also shows that he can also make friends.
In the past twenty years, all the people he came into contact with regarded him as an anomaly, they all stayed away from him and disliked him, and no one would accept him.
He was used to it, and he never felt like he could make friends, nor did he feel like he needed them.
But Phil's presence did change his mind.
It's not that he can't make friends, it's just that the friends he makes are conditionally limited.
For example, Phil, an atheist, an executioner family in Tamuburg, or Farina, who is classified as a heretic by religion, can all become friends with him.
Xu Siling didn't feel that he was a virgin, but whether it was out of dissatisfaction with the humanistic background of the world or the interest in buying medicinal materials, he felt that he had to help Farina.
Falina was tall and tall, and it was only when she reached Xu Siling's chin, she seemed to have decided something after thinking about it, and asked tentatively with a timid look: "You have actually guessed the identity of me and my aunt... Is that right? ”
Xu Siling nodded.
"Then why are you being so nice to me..."
"I'm not nice to you, I just don't want to be made too much. And my situation is not much better than yours, so let's help each other. ”
"Are you willing to accept what I said earlier?"
"Well, I can take the herbs I want with you, and I need them urgently in the near future, so I can take as many as I want." Saying that, Xu Siling took out the coins he had just prepared and handed them over, "You take these coins first, and then it's not enough." ”
Seeing this, Falina hurriedly waved her hand and pushed it away: "It doesn't take so much... And if I could, I would like to exchange half of the coins for you for the same value of food, which may be a bit of a problem for you. ”
Xu Siling thought about it and understood that witches almost all lived in the mountains, and food and daily necessities were urgently needed.
Even if you get the coins, you have to find other people, or people like the miller, to buy supplies, but most of them are on the high side.
"Nacheng, I can bring you food now."
When Falina heard this, she immediately became happy, and she looked at Xu Siling's back as she turned around to get the food, and she was a little moved in her heart.
Before coming, the aunt kept telling herself that the executioners were all murderous guys, and even in the face of some witches, they would be arrested and taken to the execution table to hang, which made Falina frightened all the way here.
When she talked to Xu Siling before, she kept staring at Xu Siling's expression, and as long as something was wrong, she would turn her head and run away.
But Xu Siling's behavior and attitude towards herself made her feel deliberately taken care of, and her heart was warm.
"It feels completely different from what my aunt said..."
Just when Falina 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!" When Falina saw so much food in a blink of an eye, she couldn't help but be surprised: "So much food..."
"You take the food back first." Xu Siling said seriously, "Then leave the other half of the coins, wait for you to take a batch of herbs and give it to me, and I will pay you." It's not a matter of trust, it's a transaction, and you should be able to understand it. He thought about it earlier, and directly gave Falina the full money, she might panic.
Farina Chick nodded, "I know." In fact, there is still a stock of this herb at home, and I will take it and bring it to you when I go back! ”
Falina held the grain safely, and seeing that she had no problem carrying it, Xu Siling breathed a sigh of relief.
The two exchanged some more details, and then Xu Siling sent her out, and watched her disappear into the woods, and then he returned to the house with peace of mind.
