Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Behind the iron nail, there was a red object that seemed to be constantly emerging.

What on earth was this thing?

At this moment, Lin Yi felt something was strange.

Moreover, looking at the state of his bones now, they should be fairly well developed and quite normal.

Judging by the situation, it seemed likely that the injury wasn't too old; if it had been long-lasting, then the bones definitely wouldn't look like this.

At this point, the surrounding blood had begun to show blockage upon reaching here.

And when blood couldn't flow through, it was bound to start swelling the nearby muscle tissue, bringing toxins that couldn't be completely flushed out.

He noticed signs of healing in the man's muscle tissue, indicating that someone had tampered with the area.

Based on current observations, it seemed probable that a surgery had been performed.

A spark of inspiration hit his mind.

Anyway, staying here was a waste of time without any significance, and it seemed that the tasks promised by his system were still unfulfilled.

The system required him to treat a total of five patients with bone conditions, and so far, he had found two.

If he could resolve this man's issue, that would make three.

Lin Yi was well aware that some things in life could not be forced.

If he were to forcefully search for these people, they might not cooperate; instead, finding them naturally through everyday life could provide a fortuitous opportunity.

So, he approached the man with a smile.

As soon as Lin Yi arrived, the man simply looked up at him.

The man seemed wary of the sudden appearance of this stranger.

"What do you want?"

The moment the man opened his mouth, Lin Yi could tell immediately that this was not a local.

The words the man uttered were very stiff, indicating he likely hadn't lived domestically for many years.

"Excuse me, may I sit here?"

"It's inconvenient."

The old man's tone seemed very firm.

This made Lin Yi feel as though he had just been turned away at the door, wondering what to do next.

He just smiled awkwardly. Should he just let it go?

That wasn't like him at all. If he were to give up, he wouldn't be Lin Yi.

"You don't need to be so guarded against me; I'm not here for anything. I'm also waiting, and if I'm not mistaken, you're here waiting for someone too, right? And whoever it is, they're not likely to arrive any time soon."

After he finished speaking, the old man slowly put down the book he was holding.

"What do you mean?"

"Since you arrived here, about 10 minutes have passed. During this time, you've been holding a cup of coffee and your book hasn't left your hand, obviously killing time."

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so observant, but does that mean I should trust you?"

"I'm not asking for your trust. I just happened to pass by and noticed some issues with you, so I wanted to discuss them."

"Issues? What issues do I have?"

"Unless I'm mistaken, your right knee had surgery about a month ago, didn't it?"

"Heh, even a fool could see that. I'm using crutches, so clearly there's some problem with my leg. However, about the surgery—oh, I get it, you figured I must have had surgery because of my limp?"

"No, your surgery was right here, and the incision was made in this spot if I'm not wrong."

He gestured on the inner side of his own leg.

Upon seeing this, the old man suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.

Because everything Lin Yi said was an accurate fact, and the man had never imagined that this stranger, without revealing anything, could understand the details of his injuries so thoroughly.

So who was this person, and how could he know all of this?

"Who are you, really? Have you been following me before?"

"I haven't had the time to follow you; today is my first visit here. And I'm also waiting for a friend who won't arrive until six in the evening, so I took the opportunity to observe your condition out of boredom."

"Alright, then tell me, besides these, what else have you noticed?"

"Just below your knee, at this tendon and bone area, there must have been a steel nail driven in—no, not one but two—and next to it, a steel plate extends out. I believe I'm correct."

"How do you know this?"

"Also, I can infer that there's some edema around you, and surely you must feel a kind of pain or at least discomfort near the lower side of your knee, am I right?"

Lin Yi had rather accurately recounted the man's current condition in just a few sentences.

Every word matched exactly what was happening to him.

"Come, sit, let's talk while sitting."

The old man was genuinely intrigued by him.

A total stranger had an uncanny understanding of his physical condition as if he had scrutinized it closely.

The most crucial point was that his surgery hadn't been performed domestically, so even an investigation within the country wouldn't yield any information.

Seeing that the man finally believed him and allowed him to sit, Lin Yi knew they could continue their conversation.

"So, do you believe me now?"

"I'm just very curious; these details aren't documented anywhere in the country, and even if you had investigated, you couldn't have found out. Besides, I'm wearing pants, so you can't possibly see the condition inside, right?"

"You don't need to doubt that. I just want to ask if everything I just said was correct?"
