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.

The gold bracelet was forged with the salary Liu Zixian received after he took office; pure gold, her son's thoughtful filial piety had kept her happy for half a year.

She lowered her head to look at her empty wrists for a while, then suddenly spoke up, "Husband, I dreamt about that young Lu lad last night."


No sooner had she finished speaking than a gust of wind from outside suddenly blew the half-closed window wide open with a "bang," startling her; she hurriedly looked over, flustered.


Liu Kun, sitting on the edge of the couch, was also startled but quickly regained his composure, scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
