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.

Pei Yunmeng glanced at him, snatched back the medicine bottle, and snorted, "Fifty taels of silver, no need to waste it."


"Fifty taels?" Xiao Zhufeng frowned, "Were you scammed?"

Xiao Zhufeng didn't mind, leaning against the table watching Pei Yunmeng rewrap his wound with a clean cloth, commenting, "The stitching isn't very good."


Pei Yunmeng followed his gaze to his own shoulder, where a new wound was scabbing over, revealing an old scar underneath. It stretched like a long centipede clinging to his skin, spreading backward, looking frighteningly fierce.
