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

Looking back, Duan Xiaoyan's brightly smiling face was right before his eyes.


"I saw you at the city gate just now," the young man said as he sat down on the stone bench opposite her, "but there were too many people then, and it wasn't convenient to greet you. After getting the horses and carts settled, I made a point of coming to find you first."


Lu Tong looked at him as Duan Xiaoyan took the initiative to explain, "Yun Ying and the Cai County Chief are together. The thieves who stole the medical supplies and food yesterday haven't been dealt with yet, so they're very busy today."


Lu Tong lowered his head, continuing with the task at hand, "I didn't ask about him."


Lu Tong picked two bunches of herbs, placed the cleaned medicinal herbs into the bamboo basket, fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Weren't you all quelling the chaos in Qi Shui? How did you suddenly come to Su Nan?"
