Datang: I Owe Her a Brother

[Travel + Farming + Healing + Multiple Heroines + Daily Life in the Tang Dynasty] When Li Yan opened his eyes, his mouth was full of dirt. He was kicked awake. The person who kicked him was his sister Ah Xin, the adopted daughter of her parents. She was sixteen years old, so thin that her cheekbones protruded, and her left foot was swollen like a steamed bun. When he returned from serving as a soldier for three years, he blamed Ah Xin for the death of his parents. He didn't feed her, made her sleep on the floor, and called her a broom star. If she is not beaten or punished, she will be treated like air. Li Yan looked at those red and swollen eyes, with only one thought in his mind: He would pay the debt of this body. So he chopped medicinal materials, dried herbs, and studied medicine. He took over all the work of Lao Chen in the town medical center and spent ten cents a day on Ah Xin. Ah Xin said he was pretending to be kind: "Don't pretend to be nice to me. I'll be disgusted." He doesn't explain. She just put hot meals on the stove every day, patched up her leaky roof, and applied ointment to her cracked hands. Later, Ah Xin's feet healed, she could laugh, and she could make pickled vegetables.
