It seemed like only a few seconds had passed, yet it also seemed like a century had passed. The second cobbler turned around inch by inch.
From Lin Wu's perspective, there was only surprise and confusion on his face.
"What did you say?"
"A tattoo of a phoenix."
Lin Wu repeated it calmly.
The second cobbler came back, stopped beside the bed, and asked, "Where did you see it?"
Lin Wu paused and said, "They are the monsters under Pier 9. I saw some of them. As for the others... I was too busy to notice them."
The second cobbler didn't speak for a long time.
Lin Wu was not in a hurry and waited patiently and calmly.
After a long while, he slowly said, "The tattoo with the phoenix pattern has nothing to do with the Huo family. At least... I haven't heard of any connection. Of course, it is not ruled out that I have never met the Huo family, so I don't know. Regarding this, you should ask Leng Linfeng, whom you met."
Lin Wu looked at him and pointed out directly: "But you look like you know something."
The second cobbler had a complicated expression, and said in an unprecedented solemn tone: "Lin Wu, as a teacher, I have to warn you. Some things are not suitable for you to know. Your current situation is dangerous enough, don't put yourself in more danger."
Lin Wu glanced at her heart, she remained calm: "Now that I have found this clue, I can't let it go. Perhaps it will be helpful to my Chahuo family's plan?"
The second shoemaker hesitated to speak.
Finally, he said, "I really can't tell you too much. Because I don't know much about this thing. Even now, I am still confused and can't figure out what happened."
Lin Wu was confused and couldn't help frowning.
The second cobbler then said something surprising: "But I can point you in a direction."
"What?"
"The boy from the Bo family."
"Bo Yuting??"
Lin Wu was stunned.
The second cobbler nodded, his tone complicated: "If you want to know clearly, you can only ask him. He also knows more than the teacher."
Lin Wu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the second cobbler: "Okay, you should rest. There are people guarding outside. If you need anything, call them."
After saying that, the second cobbler didn't give Lin Wu a chance to speak again, turned around and left in a hurry.
The moment the ward door closed, Lin Wu frowned.
When she mentioned those monsters before, she actually consciously concealed the point about the phoenix tattoo and did not ask the second leathersmith at the beginning.
Because the phoenix tattoo is also a very special existence to her, she cannot easily speak it out, so as to avoid letting others know something they shouldn't know.
But she really couldn't understand how the phoenix tattoo appeared on the monsters created by the Huo family, and the second leatherworker was the only person she could contact - someone who knew information about the Huo family without much risk, so she finally couldn't resist asking tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Feifan did not get the result she wanted, but instead made her doubts even greater.
Why did Bo Yuting know about the Phoenix tattoo?
Because they all knew about the woman with the same tattoo three years ago?
But this doesn't seem to have any necessary connection with what Bo Yuting knows, right? Moreover, why does the tattooed woman have the same tattoo as the monster raised by the Huo family? Is that woman in the same boat with the Huo family?
Lin Wu couldn't figure it out, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he got.
She decided to wait until Bo Yuting woke up before thinking about those things, and then she would also ask him about what she had seen in District S.
Lin Wu never thought that Bo Yuting would know about the tattoo, but since Bo Yuting appeared in the room with the secret passage, and according to the time, he had also met Li Zhengyuan from District S, he should know about things related to District S.
When he woke up again, he was awakened by the faint sound of voices.
"Mr. Xun, the young lady doesn't like to eat this."
"Now is not the time to decide whether she likes it or not. I have asked the doctor, this medicinal food is very nourishing and good for her body. It is suitable for her to eat. She needs to eat something that is beneficial to her recovery first."
"But the young lady hasn't woken up yet. If we bring her here so early, she might be cold by the time she wakes up."
"Ah this... Old Qian, it would be nice if there was a microwave here. Forget it, if it gets cold, find the person at the door and ask them to find a place to heat it up."
"Uh... Mr. Xun, who's going to talk to them?"
“You!”
"...But I don't dare. They look ferocious, and they are from Ghost Street...Alas, I don't know when the young lady became a ghost street..."
When Lin Wu opened his eyes, he saw Old Xun sitting on the sofa not far away, whispering to Uncle Qian who was standing beside him with his back bent.
There was indeed a scent of rice in the air, mixed with the smell of carrots, which Lin Wu disliked.
She felt a headache after hearing this: "Uncle Qian, have you two forgotten that I am still a patient and need to rest."
Elder Xun and Uncle Qian stopped talking abruptly and looked at Lin Wu in unison.
Seeing Lin Wu wake up, Mr. Xun was surprised and happy. He stood up immediately, but almost stumbled because he stood up too quickly. Fortunately, Uncle Qian held him up.
Lin Wu subconsciously reached out her hand, but she couldn't move, so she could only say, "I'm fine, don't get too excited."
Elder Xun came over quickly with his cane, sat down on the chair beside the bed, looked at Lin Wu distressedly and said, "What do you mean you're fine? Look at your current state, you can't even move!"
Lin Wu said calmly: "Based on my past experience, my flesh wounds heal quickly. In three or four days, I will be able to get out of bed. It's just that my ribs haven't healed yet."
"Is this an experience worth talking about?" Old Xun stared at Lin Wu with red eyes.
Lin Wu hummed and didn't say anything else.
Uncle Qian tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Xun, I'm glad the young lady is awake. It's getting late, and the young lady must not have had dinner yet. Why don't you let her drink the soup you brought first?"
Xun Lao was reminded and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, bring it here quickly."
Uncle Qian turned around and said as he walked over, "Miss, you may not know that when Master Xun found out that you were sent to the hospital, he was extremely worried! When he heard that you woke up, Master Xun specifically asked for some medicinal food to nourish your body, and watched the servants cook it over a low fire for three hours."
He came over with a thermos, first shook the head of Lin Wu's bed, then opened the thermos, filled a bowl, and sat beside the bed to feed Lin Wu.
Seeing Lin Wu looking at the extra carrots in the bowl, he said helplessly: "Mr. Xun asked an expert and he said that carrots are indispensable in this medicinal recipe."
Lin Wu frowned, looked at the worried old man Xun, and sighed: "It's okay, I can eat."
Uncle Qian fed Lin Wu, mainly other medicinal ingredients, and only gave her a few bites of carrots.
While watching Lin Wu eat, Elder Xun asked, "Why did you and Bo go to the ninth dock of Situ's house? I asked Lu Guichi, but he didn't tell me and was taken back to the Lu family."
Lin Wu didn't intend to let Elder Xun know about the Huo family's affairs and make them worry for no reason, so he just said, "Bo Yuting and Lu Guichi acquired the Situ family's assets, but the Situ family insisted on occupying the Ninth Pier. We were very curious. We heard that there were treasures underneath, so we went down to take a look, but we didn't expect there was explosives underneath."
Elder Xun and Uncle Qian: “???”
"Are you serious?"
When they first heard that Lin Wu did such an unreliable thing, they were shocked.
Lin Wu nodded without changing his expression.
"Nonsense!" Xun Lao was angry, "Do you know how dangerous it is?!"
