Chapter 1700: Wooden Puppet

tisfaction immediately.Zhao Haijiao took two steps forward, her expression becoming increasingly arrogant: "Boy, do you know fear now It's too late.""You, as my assistant, are nothing to me."After she...Ye Bufan took a look. The man was wearing a blue robe and had somewhat handsome features, but his eyes were erratic, showing that he was a cunning person.

Seeing that he wasn't speaking, the young man said impatiently, "What are you looking at I'm talking to you! What are you up to, skulking around like that"

Ye Bufan spread his hands and said, “I’m standing here openly, alright Which eye did you see me sneaking around”

"Kid, you dare talk back to me"

The young man glanced at the clothes the boy was wearing, his face full of disdain.

"You're not from our Ping Tai Medical Hall, what are you doing here And saying you're not acting suspiciously"

Ye Bufan was just about to say something when Su Caiwei walked out of the clinic.

"Brother Chu, Ye Ge is our newly arrived apprentice at the medical hall."

Su Caiwei walked up to Ye Bufan, took his arm and looked at the young man, introducing him: "This is my father's disciple Chu Yun. You can also call him Senior Brother Chu."

When Chu Yun saw the two people's intimate expressions, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his expression darkened even further.

He asked Ye Bufan, "Have you ever worked in a clinic before"

"No."

Ye Bufan shook his head. Although he had once run a clinic and been a doctor, according to what he had said to Su Caiwei before, he could only say that he couldn't.

Chu Yun asked again, "Do you understand the rules of the medical hall"

"I don't understand."

Although Ye Bufan is a renowned physician, this is his first time visiting the Kunlun Immortal Realm. He truly doesn't know the rules here.

"With no experience and knowing nothing, why are you qualified to work here"

Chu Yun turned his head to look at Su Caiwei, "Little junior sister, I think you're being too hasty. Although the clinic is short of staff now, not just anyone can come here to work as a clerk."

"Brother Chu, Big Brother Ye also understands medicine. We are short of people here, why don't we let him try first"

Although Su Caiwei witnessed Ye Bufan's Divine Numbing Needles last night, she was unclear about the final effect, so she still didn't have a clear concept of his medical skills.

Chu Yun let out a cold snort, but didn't say anything more. She turned and walked into the clinic.

"Brother Ye, I've already made breakfast. Let's go eat."

Su Caiwei pulled him toward the courtyard. Ye Bufan casually glanced inside when passing by the clinic and saw two wooden figures placed inside.

He was taken aback for a moment, then stopped in his tracks. "Miss Su, what is that"

The two wooden figures were about the same size as a real person, made to scale perfectly. They were covered in tiny holes all over, just like the acupuncture points on a human body.

Upon seeing this, he immediately thought of the treasure of traditional Chinese medicine, the acupuncture copper man, as the two were extremely similar, only differing in some aspects.

This thing is completely made of wood, and in terms of craftsmanship, it's still a bit lacking compared to those finely crafted acupuncture copper figures.

"Don't call me Miss Su anymore, it sounds awkward. Just call me Cai Wei from now on."

Su Caiwei smiled at him, then raised her finger to point at the two wooden figures. "You mean them These are wood puppets!"

"Brother Ye, did you really learn medicine How could you not even recognize this"

"Oh! I've been learning from my master in the mountains, and I've never seen this before."

Ye Bufan spoke and walked over, seriously checking the two wooden puppets.

This thing looks basically the same as a traditional acupuncture copper man, with all the acupoints being those found in the human body.

It's just a hole that isn't filled with mercury, he doesn't know how this thing could possibly work like an acupuncture needle.

"How is this thing used"

He asked curiously.

"It's very simple!"

Su Caiwei spoke as she took out a needle pouch and retrieved a silver needle from inside. She dipped it into a small bottle containing a green liquid, then swiftly plunged it into a certain acupoint on the wooden puppet's body.

Her needle pierced with precision and steadiness, entering at just the right depth. A crimson hue then seeped from the tiny hole.

Yet when the acupuncture needle was placed in the adjacent location, there was no response whatsoever.

Ye Bufan immediately understood that the red represented the acupuncture copper man's needles entering mercury and exiting, both were based on the same principle, but he didn't know how it was caused at the same time.

"Cai Wei, what's going on Why is there red liquid coming out when the silver needles are inserted"

"It seems you've never seen a wooden puppet before," Su Caiwei explained. "The wood used to make wooden puppets is extremely special - it's Tianyuan Wood, unique to the Kunlun Continent. When the trunk of this wood comes into contact with the sap of the Thorny Grass, it turns red and oozes out."

"Ye Bufan immediately knew that the green liquid in the bottle must be the juice of the thorny grass, but after thinking about it, he asked again: “But that's not right. According to what you said, even if it were stabbed outside, it should be a red reaction.” "

“Because this puppet was specially treated during its creation, and the skin was polished with a special technique, you wouldn't see the red inside if you didn't go deep. " Su Caiwei looked at him in doubt and asked, "You haven't even seen a puppet before, how do you practice acupuncture normally You wouldn't really stab yourself, would you"

"That... isn't quite right either. My master has a special tool called a acupuncture copper man..."

Ye Bufan brought out the acupuncture copper man and explained its structure.

"Your master is quite a character, we don't seem capable of making something like this."

Hearing the design of the acupuncture copper man, Su Caiwei exclaimed in admiration.

Okay, let's go eat. Otherwise, it will get cold later.

Two people left the clinic and came to a back room to eat.

The dishes on the table are already set, very similar to Chinese cuisine, with steamed buns, rice porridge, and a few small side dishes.

At the dining table, Chu Yun had already sat beside it. There was also a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties. He had a clear appearance, but at this time his face was pale and his spirit was listless, as if he were seriously ill. There was also an unspeakable sorrow between his brows.

He was the head of Taiping Medical Hall and Su Caiwei's father, Su Dingfang.

"Father, are you feeling better"

Su Caiwei asked with concern.

"It's still the same old me, don't worry about me, just eat your food."

"Father, let me introduce you. This is Brother Ye, he's been helping out at our clinic these past few days. And this is my father..."

Su Caiwei introduced the two people to each other, then invited Ye Bufan to take a seat.

"Hello, uncle!"

Ye Bufan asked a polite greeting. He had originally been worried that the other party would ask about his origins, and it would be difficult to explain at that time. He couldn't say he appeared in his daughter's bathroom in the middle of the night.

"Cough cough cough…"

Su Dingfang had a violent coughing fit, looking extremely unwell. He didn't even ask about his own affairs.

Su Caiwei walked behind her father and helped him beat for a while, which made him feel much better.

"Brother Ye, please have some food."

After she finished, she returned to her seat and lovingly sent the bowl and chopsticks to Ye Bufan.

A cold glint flashed in Chu Yun's eyes as she looked at the intimate couple.

He had long coveted this little junior sister, but Su Caiwei had always been aloof and unyielding. Unexpectedly, she was so enthusiastic towards the newcomer.

During the meal, no one spoke. Only Su Dingfang occasionally coughed.

After dinner, Su Caiwei started to wash the dishes. Chu Yun said in a deep voice, "Newcomer, go wash the dishes. As a servant, this is your duty."
