Chapter 1269: Chapter 1146: A Doctor’s Compassion
“Uncle, please get up, you don’t have to do this.”
Ye Fan didn’t expect Elder Su to kneel for him, so he quickly helped him up, feeling quite emotional inside.
A doctor’s compassion.
Back on Earth, he had treated people before, and when their illnesses were cured, the patients’ families were extrely grateful.
Like Su Yuxin’s mother.
Since entering the Xuan Realm, it had been a long ti since he felt this way, and he almost forgot that besides being a cultivator, he was also a doctor.
“Big brother, thank you for saving , you’re a really good person.” Little Doudou, being very clever, guessed that Ye Fan was the one who saved her.
At this mont, the Evil Yin Qi inside Doudou was completely expelled by Ye Fan using Pure Yang Qi, and he also helped her unblock several obstructed ridians, making her healthier than an average person. Her originally pale face beca rosy, and her big eyes sparkled with innocence.
“Benefactor, we don’t have much to entertain you with at ho. I caught a wild rabbit yesterday, intending to nourish Doudou. Please wait a mont, and I’ll cook a pot of rabbit at.”
Without giving Ye Fan a chance to refuse, Elder Su pressed him into a shabby chair and happily went off to the kitchen to get busy.
“Big brother, you rest a while, I’ll go help grandpa.” The little girl poured Ye Fan a cup of water and then went to the kitchen to help.
It was clear she often did this before.
“Uh…”
Ye Fan found it amusing and helpless. Then he rolled up his sleeves and followed into the kitchen, preparing to showcase his skills to Elder Su and the little girl.
“Benefactor, why did you co in? Go out, we’ll handle it.”
Seeing Ye Fan enter the kitchen, Elder Su quickly tried to shoo him out, thinking that since Ye Fan’s dical skills were so advanced, he surely wouldn’t be familiar with cooking.
“It’s okay, Uncle Su, I can cook too. Let make a dish from my hotown for you to try.”
Instead of leaving, Ye Fan went right beside Elder Su. He took a quick glance at the kitchen facilities, sighing inwardly.
This ho could truly be described as having nothing but bare walls. In the kitchen, besides a freshly skinned wild rabbit, there was only a jar of salt and so herbs that could be used as ingredients. On the walls hung so dried beast skins and dicinal herbs.
Imdiately, without waiting for Elder Su’s response, Ye Fan took the wild rabbit from his hands. Skillfully, he cut off the four rabbit legs, then chopped the body into small pieces, soaking them in clean water for later use.
As the apprentice of a Divine Doctor, Ye Fan could definitely be described as surpassing his ntor. He was very familiar with the properties, pharmacology, and flavors of various herbs.
What others saw as herbs, he saw as usable ingredients. Many Chinese herbs can be used as seasonings, a fact unknown to people in the Xuan Realm but not to Ye Fan, who ca from Earth.
Under the stunned gazes of Elder Su and Doudou, Ye Fan made a pot of braised rabbit at. The color, aroma, and taste were all extrely appealing, inducing a great appetite just from looking at it.
“Slls so good!”
Doudou sucked on her fingers, nearly drooling from hunger.
“Just a mont longer, it’ll be ready soon!”
Ye Fan turned and left the kitchen, finding so herbs nearby the house for seasoning. He washed them simply, cut them into sections, sprinkled them over the braised rabbit at, then drizzled with broth. Instantly, a burst of fragrant aroma filled the entire room.
After the al, the relationship between Ye Fan and Elder Su’s grandfather and granddaughter improved a lot. Doudou’s innocence and cuteness reminded Ye Fan of Situ Ruoshui, far away on Earth.
Both were so pure and lively, without a trace of scheming. Having enough to eat and family by their side was their greatest happiness.
“Grandpa, you and Brother Ye Fan sit, I’ll do the dishes.”
At only four years old, Little Doudou was very well-behaved and sensible. After eating, she took the initiative to clean up the dishes and brought them to the kitchen to wash.
Ye Fan felt deeply moved. On Earth, a four-year-old girl would be at an age of curiosity and playfulness, unaware of responsibility.
But Little Doudou showed a maturity beyond her years. Indeed, the children of poor families mature early!
Elder Su certainly couldn’t let Little Doudou wash the dishes, so he quickly followed her to the kitchen.
Just at that mont…
A simple, deep voice ca from the doorway: “Uncle Su, I caught an elk today. I heard Little Doudou was sick; here’s so at to nourish her.”
As he finished speaking, a stout man with thick brows and big eyes pushed open the door and stepped inside. He imdiately saw Ye Fan walking out of the room and was montarily taken aback.
“Who are you? Why are you in Uncle Su’s house?”
The burly man placed a large chunk of premium venison on the well platform in the yard, looking warily at Ye Fan and asked.
“Buguan, you’re here?”
Elder Su walked out from the kitchen, smiling, “This young man is called Ye Fan, he’s just passing by our place…”
“Oh…”
Upon hearing that Ye Fan was just a passing stranger, the burly man imdiately relaxed.
Although their village was small, because it was near the Xuan Beast Forest, so cultivators intending to venture into the forest would pass through their village.
“Buguan, don’t underestimate this young man. It’s he who cured Doudou’s illness. If it weren’t for him, it’s hard to say if Doudou would’ve gotten better! You could say he’s Doudou’s savior.”
Elder Su briefly recounted to the burly man how Ye Fan had healed Little Doudou, then said to Ye Fan, “Benefactor, this is the son of the village’s hunter, Old Han, nad Han Buguan. He often helps us out, my grandchild and .”
Hearing this burly man’s na, Ye Fan almost burst out laughing. It’s such an odd na. Han Buguan, isn’t that like saying ‘can’t stand it’? What can you do if you can’t stand ?
“Uncle Jar, please sit.”
While they were talking, Little Doudou ca out with a chair with great effort, inviting the burly man to sit down.
This scene nearly made the burly man Han Buguan’s eyes pop out of their sockets. Little Doudou had been bedridden for the past two days, sothing the whole village was aware of.
Just this morning, when he went out hunting, he had specifically checked on Little Doudou. He never thought that she could now bring him a chair. This was simply amazing.
If it really was Ye Fan who cured her, his dical skills are incredible!
But the facts were right in front of him, so he had to believe it.
Little Doudou was clever and well-behaved, and everyone in the village, both adults and children, liked her. Especially her tragic background invoked great sympathy from the villagers, who treated her particularly well.
The burly man Han Buguan had a quick temper, but he doted on Little Doudou exceptionally.
Because Little Doudou recklessly ate sothing she shouldn’t have, not even the village’s only doctor, Elder Su, could do anything. Yet, Ye Fan managed to heal her.
“Brother Ye, thank you for saving Little Doudou’s life. I apologize for my earlier behavior. I’m a rough man, and I hope you can forgive .”
Although Han Buguan had a sowhat brash personality, he was a man of integrity and knew right from wrong. Since Ye Fan was Little Doudou’s savior, he had to apologize for his earlier rashness.
“Brother Han, please don’t say that. You were also concerned about Uncle Su’s safety, which I understand.”
Ye Fan was neither arrogant nor proud. For him, being able to do sothing for ordinary people made him happy, especially since Little Doudou was so well-behaved and sensible, reminding him of his dear sister, Ruoshui, far away on Earth, filling him with emotion.
“I’m glad you don’t mind.”
Han Buguan showed a silly smile and suddenly slapped his forehead, saying, “Oh right, today we caught a lot of ga. We’re going to have a bonfire celebration in the village center. You, Uncle Su, and Little Doudou must co! Let’s not stop until we’re drunk.”
Is that a tradition?
Ye Fan was taken aback. The small village was already so poor, yet they still had such a celebration.
Noticing Ye Fan’s confusion, Elder Su took the initiative to explain, “Benefactor, it’s like this: our village is close to the Xuan Beast Forest, but there are no Xuan Beasts on the outermost edge—just ordinary wild animals. Our village relies on hunting and gathering herbs for survival. Every ti the villagers return from a plentiful hunt, a bonfire celebration is held. Everyone drinks and eats like a big family.”
Ye Fan gladly accepted such an invitation. The life of a cultivator was dull and hard, and having the chance to connect with ordinary people and experience their lifestyle was a rare opportunity.
Seeing Ye Fan agree, the burly man Han Buguan didn’t linger, saying, “Alright then, I’ll be waiting for you in the village center~ I’ll also tell everyone the good news that Little Doudou is well so they won’t worry anymore.”
After speaking, Han Buguan strode out of the small yard, disappearing into the gradually darkening night.
After he left, Elder Su tidied up the house a bit, wanting to find a piece of unpatched clothing for Little Doudou but couldn’t find one.
Looking at the clean but heavily patched little clothes on Little Doudou, Ye Fan couldn’t help but feel a pang in his nose.
“Uncle Su, what exactly happened to Doudou’s parents?”
Afterwards, Ye Fan took the opportunity while Little Doudou wasn’t present to ask Elder Su.
