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.

Lu Tong stood up, picked up the scissors, and also picked up the long rope on the ground, made up her mind, and snipped it into two.


The length of this rope was perfect for hanging oneself, but she wanted to use this rope to bind her hands. She had learned the method to tie the rope from Lu Qian before, a method to bind the hands, inescapable.


The method of tying the rope was not very clear in her memory, and a gradually intensifying pain was emerging in her chest. Lu Tong, her hands trembling, was nearly unable to grasp the hemp rope firmly and awkwardly put the cut piece around her wrist. In the final moment when the hemp rope was fitted, an immense pain overwhelmed her.


It was not just a bit of pain. It was pain enough to destroy one's will.
