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.

Liu Kun shuddered and blurted out, "Qian, stay tonight, the government officers are everywhere outside."


"Then I really can't stay, Uncle. If I'm discovered here, you all will be implicated too."


As he spoke, he attempted to leave, but Liu Kun grabbed him.


Lu Qian looked at him with confusion as Liu Kun swallowed his saliva, "You've been hiding and dodging outside these past few days, I reckon you haven't had a decent meal. Who knows when things will settle down if you leave now. Wait here, I'll have your aunt make a bowl of eel noodle for you. Eat first, then go."
