Mountain Wanderer

Lu Tong spent seven years studying medicine in the mountains, but upon returning home, he found everything had changed.

His eldest sister, a victim of foul play, met a tragic end.
His elder brother, wrongfully imprisoned, languished in dungeons.
His father journeyed to the capital to seek justice, only to meet a watery demise on the road.
His mother, driven to madness overnight, perished in flames.

Lu Tong packed his medical kit and headed to the capital of Jingzhou.

'Debts must be repaid, and lives must be avenged!
'If there's no judge, then I'll be the judge from Hell!'

In the capital, noble families faced successive tragedies,
Commander Pei Yunxing quietly investigated the matter,
And suspicions fell on a young woman from the Renxin Medical Hall.
However...
Before he could find evidence,
The girl made her move against him first.

Smiling Under Lanterns

Wu Youcai choked out, "Doctor Lu, this is my mother. Please save her!"


Lu Tong reached out to feel the woman's pulse and his heart sank.


This woman was already at the end of her tether.


Lu Tong set down his medical chest, "Don't talk, open the window, bring the oil lamp closer, and you step back."


Wu Youcai remained silent, placed the oil lamp beside the bed, and stood far away in a corner.


Lu Tong called Yin Zheng over, helped the woman pry open her teeth, and poured some hot water into her mouth. After swallowing a small half-bowl of water, the woman coughed twice, showing signs of coming around, and Wu Youcai's face brightened with joy.


Lu Tong opened his medical chest and took out a golden needle from the velvet cloth, sitting before the couch and meticulously applying acupuncture to the elderly woman.


Time passed inexorably, yet to Wu Youcai, Lu Tong's movements seemed extraordinarily slow.
