The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang

Chapter 58: Killing a Mortal Woman (17)

She was helped up by Muji who came rushing over.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" He lowered his head and personally checked to see if she was hurt.

She shook her head, "I'm fine, go see them..."

"What are you looking at!" He got angry and yelled at her, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the house? Why did you come out? Why didn't you listen?"

"I, I want to help, there are not enough people here."

She was a little at a loss as to what to do. Why did he suddenly become so fierce? He was just like he was when they first met. She didn't dare to refute him.

"Shi Yue," Mu Ji recalled the scene she saw when she rushed over just now. She was pushed to the ground and almost stepped on. Her heart almost jumped out.

"We don't need your help here, go back quickly, don't be so kind, have you forgotten what happened in the past..."

Her voice suddenly stopped. She had no place to use her kindness at that time, so she saved someone like him, which led to her current state.

"Muji, I am just like this. I can't help myself from doing these things. I saved you before, and even though it was extremely difficult later, I didn't regret it. Now, I don't want to retreat and leave you here."

Yes, she was so kind and soft-hearted, and what he liked was her passion which was totally different from his own.

"Okay, then you stay by my side and don't be too far away from me, okay?"

"Well," she pulled his sleeve, "I'll just hold you like this, okay?"

It was a bit playful and he enjoyed it inexplicably.

The people from the mansion who went to the back mountain to pick herbs have also returned. The people who were causing trouble just now have become much quieter and are waiting obediently for their distribution of herbs.

They have temporarily suppressed the situation here, but the spread of the plague has not slowed down.

Shi Yue runs around among various infected people every day and is used to seeing separations and deaths.

Sometimes, when she looked up, she would be met with a pair of numb and dull eyes. They might be an infected person who was on the verge of death and had no cure, or an elderly person who had lost his only child and had no relatives left with his family broken up, or an incompetent doctor like her who had to watch helplessly as many lives were lost.

Disease is ruthless and natural disasters are unintentional.

She can't save everyone's lives, but at least she can protect those who are still alive and waiting for her treatment.

Thanks to the support of various major sects, the epidemic was quickly brought under control.

The infected people were placed in a specific place for isolation, and each household closed the doors and windows and did not go out unless necessary. There were many places for fumigation and moxibustion in the city, and burning moxa had a certain disinfection effect.

People will also be sent to pour powdered herbs into the well water so that more people can get the medicine without contact.

Three months later, the plague was finally almost gone.

Post-epidemic reconstruction is also very important.

Countless people in the city died in this plague, and many children lost their parents and relatives and faced the dilemma of becoming orphans.

Shi Yue called on Xuanhuang Mansion to donate money and materials to set up an orphanage, mainly to raise children who were left unattended during the epidemic. Of course, this might become a permanent place to take in orphans in the future, which would also be a benefit for the future.

The person who surprised her the most in this incident was Muji. He not only fully supported her actions, but also took the initiative to help her. Perhaps it was because of the need to establish morality and establish a good reputation for his status, but what he did did benefit the people after all.

He also accumulated a lot of support because many of his disciples also had families and were ordinary people. Many of the monks who had followed Mu Zhen and Mu Xi joined him and served him.

The success of seizing power is just around the corner.

"Shi Yue, don't leave this room today. If anything happens to me, you go into the dungeon of the study, and when everything is calm, go out through the cave."

He certainly couldn't say it was foolproof, but at least he left her a way out.

"What about you? If you fail, will you die?" She didn't know their specific action plan, she only knew that success or failure would be decided tonight.

"will not."

"really?"

"Really? I am the lord after all. He still has use for me. The worst that can happen is that I will just be a puppet again."

If he fails, it will be fine for him, but Shi Yue will not be able to protect him.

However, he was sure to win tonight. After today, he would be able to make the final decision, and no one would dare to question his decision.

"Then, I'll wait for you. You must come back."

she heard herself say.

Muji was very pleased. He felt that she was getting closer to him over the past few days.

The two hugged each other quietly, without any other movements, but their hearts were very close.

Shi Yue did as he said and went into the study.

She had never had the opportunity to take a closer look at this place, but the placement of the items and their placement were very tasteful, obviously the result of the original owner's elegant taste.

After walking around, I sat on the purple wooden chair. There was no light, and everything around was pitch black.

After a while, faint sounds of fighting were heard outside. They must have started.

Shi Yue closed her eyes and quietly watched this life-and-death fight. She had been waiting for a long time, so long that her blood was boiling and she couldn't control herself.

No, she needs to calm down, she still has to wait for a while.

I don't know how long it had been, there was no sound outside, even the night sky faded, and I could vaguely see something in the study.

It's almost dawn.

"Bang bang bang-"

She leaned over and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"

"Shi Yue, open the door, I'm back."

Muji's voice was tired but light, and he couldn't suppress his joy.

My heart is at ease and I finally come back.

When I opened the door, his amazingly bright eyes came into view.

"Shi Yue, we succeeded. From now on, I will be the head of Xuanhuang Mansion. That's great!" He picked her up in front of him and spun around excitedly for several times.

"You don't have to bear the old man's anger anymore. We can do whatever we want in the future."

He said a lot, some of which were irrelevant, but he was just happy and wanted to tell her. However, Shi Yue was silent for a long time, so long that he finally realized something was wrong.

"Shi Yue, why don't you speak? Are you unhappy? I, I'm too..." He wanted to let her go and see what happened to her, but before he could finish his words, he felt a chill in his chest.

Looking down, he saw an extremely fine and sharp dagger stuck in his chest.

He raised his head and wanted to ask why, but he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The knife must have been smeared with poison. He wanted to use his internal energy to expel the poison, but found that it was blocked inside, and the more he moved, the faster it got.

He spat out mouthful of black blood continuously. Finally, he could not hold on any longer and fell to his knees on one leg.

He tried to speak, "Shi, Shi, Yue, why?"

Shi Yue remained silent, just staring at him coldly, as if he finally didn't want to pretend anymore. The hatred and relief in his eyes were obvious.

Looking back, there was still a silent shadow standing there.
