I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 11 The Witch
After Xu Siling took a bath and got dressed, she immediately came to the wooden gate.

He saw the tall girl twiddling her fingers uneasily, especially after seeing him coming, her face even hid under the linen white scarf.

"Child, this is not the place you should come to." Xu Siling saw the person coming clearly. He was very surprised. Girls in the Middle Ages could not walk around freely, let alone come to see themselves as the executioner.

"I'm not a child!" Falina said stubbornly, seeming to realize that she was being rude, so she slowly lowered her scarf to reveal herself.

Those mint green eyes make Falina's skin fairer and her facial features more delicate. Especially when she gets older, she belongs to a woman who has completely grown up. She really cannot be said to be a child.

But compared to a mature woman of her age, her conversation seems a bit innocent?

Xu Siling looked at Falina, who looked very good-looking, and became even more curious.

"Where is your husband?" Xu Siling looked around, "I remember that a woman of your age cannot travel alone without her husband."

"I'm not married yet!" Farina bit her pink lips, nervous and shy but hesitated to speak.

Xu Siling couldn't help but look back in surprise. Was there really a good-looking and unmarried woman of this age in the Middle Ages?

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Did anyone in the family suffer from trauma?"

Executioners would also take over the work of surgeons in the Middle Ages. After all, medical resources were in short supply at that time, and the cost of treating trauma in the town was still high. Poor families looked for executioners to help.

At least in terms of trauma, the executioner's medical skills are really no worse than those of ordinary doctors.

Farina shook her head quickly, then took a deep breath before saying with a blushing face: "My name is Farina, and I live in the mountains. Did you order a large amount of medicinal herbs from Mr. Enamel in Raya Town before?"

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

"Is this what you want?"

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

Xu Siling opened the bag and looked at it. It was Cimicifuga, and there was a lot of it.

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

"No." Faced with Xu Siling's smile, Falina blushed even more and waved her hands quickly: "My aunt and I are herb collectors on the mountain. Yesterday, Mr. Enamel notified us to speed up the search for this kind of medicinal materials. I eavesdropped before leaving. When he kept complaining about the executioner, Auntie guessed that you were the customer who bought this herb, so she asked me to come here to confirm."

Xu Siling suddenly realized that the girl in front of him was not a medicine gatherer. She turned out to be a witch!
When he heard Farina's name, he was still thinking about why he didn't say his last name, but it turned out that she didn't have a last name.

Witches are not worthy of having surnames, except in some special circumstances.

And she also carefully said that she was a herbal collector.
The only women who go around collecting herbs in the mountains are witches, right?

When he thought about the fact that Farina was still unmarried at her age, and that she dared to contact her even though she knew she was an executioner, he became even more sure of Farina's identity.

"and then."

"Auntie, if you can, you can buy medicinal herbs directly from us." When it came to important matters, Falina said very seriously: "Of course! There are other medicines, the price can be negotiated, our price will not be very high of!"

Xu Siling finally understood.

Falina and her aunt wanted to skip the middleman and not want the middleman to earn the price difference on enamel.

If it's just a matter of simply earning the price difference, I'm afraid that old guy will be very aggressive in lowering the price.

After all, they are witches, and they must have an unequal partnership with the old guy. Even if the price is reduced, they have no place to complain.

It would definitely be best if you can have direct contact with your customers.

But no one wants to be associated with a witch, but he is special.

In terms of background status, prostitutes have a higher status than executioners. Robbers and thieves look down on executioners. But when it comes to a group with a lower status than executioners, aren't they witches?
Although the holy religion expresses its opposition to the executioner, it still allows the existence of the executioner.

But witches are completely banned by the Holy Religion.It’s no wonder that Falina was very nervous about communicating with her. She was afraid that she would not be willing to communicate with her, and she was even worried that she would drive her out with a stick.

Of course Xu Siling didn't have any different views on witches. After all, he didn't believe in God to begin with, and the dogma of the holy religion told her to go away.

Looking at Valina's timid expression, she couldn't help but feel slightly distressed.

Both of them are considered poor people in a medieval setting.

Just when 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, Falang.

What's going on these days?They all come to find themselves, celebrating the New Year?It’s not so lively even during the Chinese New Year.

"You come in first."

After saying that, Xu Siling immediately grabbed Farina's wrist and startled her.

Although he dragged the person into the yard abruptly, he subconsciously thought about Farina. If Enamel found out that the two met here, it would be difficult to explain and would harm Farina.

Farina thought that she could not hide her identity as a witch and that the executioner was going to kill her. She was so frightened that tears burst out of her eyes. When she was about to cry, Xu Siling choked her back with words.

"That old guy from Enamel is here, go into the house and hide, and don't come out until I shout."

"what?"

Looking at her face that was about to cry, Xu Siling couldn't help but smile and wiped the corners of her eyes with her white scarf: "Go in quickly."

Falina came back to her senses, her face turned pale and then red, and she quickly obeyed and hid in the house.

"Xu, you're up."

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

When someone approached, Xu Siling hugged her shoulders and said, "What makes you come here so early?"

"Aren't we going to talk to you about medicinal materials?"

"Oh, have you gathered the medicinal ingredients?"

"Of course not so fast!" Enamel smiled flatteringly, took out a small bag of medicinal materials and handed it over: "This is the amount for now, and I will bring some to you tomorrow. But you know, you have to hurry up to collect the medicinal materials, and the labor cost is quite high. The price will be a little higher.”

Xu Siling took the medicinal materials and weighed them, looking at the enamel in front of her with a half-smile.

"You're raising the price."

"Hey." Enamel immediately looked embarrassed, "As you know, the kingdom has been at war, and these medicinal materials are not universal and difficult to collect. You need a large amount in a short time, and there are indeed some."

nonsense.If the war doesn't affect the nearby area, there will be no excuses.

Xu Siling snorted: "Are you treating me like a monkey? If you raise the price blindly, I won't want it."

"Oh?" Enamel was surprised for a moment, and then asked with a slightly solemn expression: "You said that, but someone else has contacted you and wants to sell you this medicinal material?"

As soon as these words came out, Falina, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the room, felt nervous.

"Is someone looking for you?" Enamel asked again without waiting for an answer.

Falina was trembling with fear in the house, her mind already thinking about what to do if Xu Siling betrayed her?
If Enamel knew that she was secretly in contact with Xu Siling, she and her aunt would be in danger.

After all, no one takes the witch's life seriously.
The pretty face couldn't help it again and burst into tears, but she still bit her pink lips to prevent herself from making a sound.
