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

Lin Danqing sat beside her and explained, "The Music Officers are on the Flying Fish Boats, and they'll soon perform with Water Puppets and the like. The Tiger Head Boats are pulling the red boats, and the 'grabbing arrows' contest is about to begin."


'Grabbing arrows' is the highlight of the water spectacle.


The boatmen in blue vigorously rowed, pulling the red boats carrying soldiers in red forward. The drums and gongs on the water resounded; several red boats rushed forward simultaneously like arrows speeding toward their target. The red boats crisscrossed, much like two armies in battle.


In the very center of Chang Le Pond, there stood a military officer with a long pole, on which hung a Golden Long Arrow. The first red boat to reach the destination and take the Golden Long Arrow, and then shoot the Colored Ball on the bank with the arrow, would be the champion of 'grabbing the standard'.
