As expected, the plague began to spread in the town, and Mu Ling was so busy that he was dizzy, burying his head in the medicine jar every day, forgetting to sleep and eat to observe the patient's condition.

The plague spread faster than they thought, everyone was afraid to go out, and those suspected of symptoms of the plague were ruthlessly abandoned to the streets waiting to die.

At that time, the town was like a ruined dead city, shrouded in the dreary atmosphere of the plague, and even the usual lively streets were only depressed and silent.

There are only black and green figures shuttling through the lifeless plague crowd, chatting and sleeping together, almost living under the same roof.

When everyone gave up on these people, only Mu Ling and Hei Yu were busy boiling medicine to take care of them, in their opinion, these two people were the reincarnation of living bodhisattvas to make them grateful.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after ten days of the efforts of the two, the plague was relieved, which made Mu Ling very happy.

It was not yet dark, Mu Ling had already leaned on Hei Yu's shoulder and fell asleep, he looked down at her thick eyelashes for a while, and kept sitting still for fear of waking her up.

This sleep lasted until noon the next day, and when Mu Ling woke up, he was still leaning on Hei Yu's shoulder, and Hei Yu's head was still asleep against the wall.

She raised her head very lightly and walked away lightly, and when she came back, she took a blanket to cover him, reached out and wiped the dust off his face, and went to boil the medicine again?

"Doctor Ling, the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion said that Master Liu was also infected with the plague, and asked you to hurry up and take a look."

"Where's the person?"

"It's right outside"

"Uncle, these medicines are handed over to you, remember to let each of them drink them, I'll take a look"

"Okay, Doctor Ling, be careful, then Master Liu is not a good person"

"Thank you uncle for the reminder, I'll go first" Mu Ling picked up the medicine box and looked back at Hei Yu, and left.

Mu Ling didn't come back for a long time, and the uncle who had just helped boil the medicine felt uneasy in his heart and woke up Hei Yu.

No one knows what happened later, only heard that Hei Yu killed someone and was taken away by the officials and put in a cell, and Mu Ling didn't know where to go.

After the plague was completely cured, the town returned to its usual bustle, and the streets were bustling with passers-by, as if the plague had never come.

Soon there were rumors in the town that Mu Ling was a demon girl, and she was already a household name.

Hei Yu suddenly felt unwell in his cell, and was asserted that he might have contracted the plague, and the officials and the inmates of the cell avoided him when they heard about it.

The official was even more disgusted, and threw him into the distant woods and left him to fend for himself, for fear that he would spread the plague to others.

Among them, there are also Mu Ling and the people he once rescued from the poisonous mouth of the plague, but they still chose to abandon him like others abandoned them.

Mu Ling was rumored to be a demon girl, and people heard from the surviving people of Liu Mansion that those people were not killed by Hei Yu, but Mu Ling's identity was exposed and he killed them with witchcraft in a hurry.

Hei Yu only apologized for Mu Ling, because Mu Yu was nowhere to be found, he would declare that Hei Yu was the murderer.

For a while, there were different opinions, and people who didn't know the truth were often confused by rumors and believed it to be true, and they thought that Mu Ling was a demon girl, connecting those who had been taken care of by Mu Ling.

When the rumors were spreading, Mu Ling suddenly appeared, but to her surprise, those people she had saved avoided her like snakes and scorpions, and even smashed her with eggs and vegetable leaves to scold her for being a demon girl.

She was attacked by the crowd, her head and face were covered in egg whites, egg yolks, and rotten leaves, and someone threw a stone directly into her head.

A muffled sound of blood blurred her vision, and she felt her consciousness sink and faint.

When she woke up, she was tied to a wooden stake on a square platform, surrounded by firewood, and the people gathered not far away to watch the play.

The leader slowly walked to the square platform with a torch, and this posture knew at a glance that he was going to burn her.

"Where is Hei Yu? What about Heiyu? ”

She didn't want to say anything, let alone scold these ignorant people, at the moment she just wanted to know where Hei Yu was, why he wasn't in the cell, and where he went.

"The hero has been affected by you, and he has died of the plague"

"No, you lied to me!"

"You demon girl is really good at demagoguery, hidden for so long and finally exposed, you killed someone yourself and let the hero take the blame for you, and now he dares to shout here when he kills him, I advise you to put away your hypocrisy, today I will burn your demon girl in front of all the folks, lest you harm other people"

"Burned her"

"Burned her"

"Burn her ......," everyone shouted.

"I'm not a witch! I never wanted to hurt anyone! I want to see Hei Yu, I want to see Hei Yu, he won't die, you lied to me, I don't believe it! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, people have died a long time ago, you have to believe if you don't believe it, and you can go down to make amends to him later"

The torch was thrown into the pyre in a parabola, but for a moment the fire suddenly rose, enveloping Mu Ling in flames.

Mu Ling could have used witchcraft to escape, but when she heard the news of Hei Yu's death, she gave up her chance to escape and let the flames engulf her.

The heat made her feel more pain than ever before, and it was also a kind of torture for her.

"Mu Ming! Mu Ming! ”

"Heiyu?" Through the flames, she faintly saw Hei Yu's rushing figure, entangled with the people who intercepted him.

"She saved you, how can you take revenge?! Let me go! She's not a witch, are you blind and blind? You guys let go!! ”

"Hei Yu, it's really Hei Yu, you're not dead" Mu Ling listened to the real voice in her ears, and as soon as she was about to speak, she was choked by the smoke and coughed, and the burning pain of the fire became even more intense.

"You foolish people, you shouldn't have saved you when you were abandoned by the plague, and now you have to treat Mu Ling, who once saved your life, like this, I think it's you who should be damned, let go of me, let go of me!"

"Heiyu Hero, how can you talk like that, now the fire is so big, you were very dangerous in the past, we are all for your good"

"Yes, yes, even if you are now in the past, it will be useless except to bury your life in vain, if this Mu Ling is not a demon girl, how can she confuse you to take the blame? disappeared and suddenly appeared after such a few days, who knows what kind of heart she has? ”

"Who did she hurt you? Yes? Tell me, who did she hurt you? Get out of the way, or don't blame me for doing it to you."

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless and they were all beaten to get out of the way, they all scolded the demon girl for using witchcraft and did not listen to it, Hei Yu glared fiercely, and the surroundings instantly quieted down.

Hei Yu rushed to the square platform and directly used his hands to pick up the burning firewood, Mu Ling could even hear the sound of the fire roasting, and shouted no.

"Ahhh

The people were also shaken, and they were terrified, and cried out that the witch was angry and was about to die, and quickly fled from the place.

The town could no longer accommodate the two of them, so Mu Ling and Hei Yu had no choice but to leave the town and continue to move east.

When he arrived in the next town, Heiyu's hand was burned by the fire, and he missed the best opportunity to heal, and he could no longer use the sword for the rest of his life.

This was undoubtedly a blow to the chivalrous Hei Yu, who realized that he was like a waste man for a few days, and he almost held the wine jar all day long and poured himself unconscious.

encountered a few thugs who deliberately found fault, and he had no power to fight back, and was beaten like a water dog, even if the passers-by saw it, they also accelerated the pace of leaving, for fear that it would harm themselves.

In those days, only Mu Ling was by his side, and every time he came back with a mess and a wound, she would always feel distressed and help him with medicine.

That time was his most tormenting time, when people were fighting for others, people respected him as a hero, and now he has lost the sword of chivalry, and people don't even look at him.

The human heart is really so cold!

Mu Ling couldn't bear to watch Hei Yu continue to be decadent, so he kept looking for miracle medicines that could heal burns, and was unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake on the way up the mountain to collect medicine, and rolled down the hillside.

When Hei Yu came back again in a mess and found that Mu Ling was missing from home, he panicked, Mu Ling would definitely be waiting for him at home at this time on weekdays.

Today the house was dark and no one lit the lamp, and he suddenly felt bad and rushed out of the house and went up the mountain, he knew that she often went there to collect medicine.
