Chapter 311: I Might Want More

Lu Lin sneered.

“I just don’t want to be an animal,” Lu Lin’s eyes were gloomy, “Master won’t treat them well if they become his apprentices. They will look for Young Lady Xia for any decisions to be made. She won’t help us forever. I don’t want to become… greedy in the end.”

“In fact, Young Lady Xia… treats us quite well, but I just can’t be grateful to her. Maybe… I’m an ingrate,” the kid next to him smiled bitterly.

“Today, I heard people say that Young Lady Xia is nice to us for some sort of grading,” someone added.

A few youths gathered together and were talking when someone ran over.

“Lu Lin! The patrol found your grandmother’s body and is going to bury her! Hurry up and send her off!”

When these words rang out, Lu Lin’s face turned pale.

He staggered out of the city.

However, when he arrived, his grandmother was already wrapped in a straw mat and had been dragged out by someone.

He gritted his teeth. Beside him, the old lady’s soul followed.

His heavy footsteps followed, but he could not bring himself to stop them.

He knew that he could not stop them. There were many people outside the city, and someone would eventually die. If the dead were not buried, they would stink even in winter.

He only wanted her to stay for another two days…

If even his grandmother was buried, he would really never see another family member!

At that moment, Lu Lin followed obediently. The officer saw that he was young and quite pitiful, so he did not scold him for hiding the body. He moved the body to a nearby cemetery and dug a hole into the ground.

Lu Lin sat in front of the grave until he fell asleep.

In his dream, he saw his grandmother.

His grandmother said that she had met a noble, and that the noble could send him to the military camp. When he became a soldier, he would be paid and asked if he was willing.

He nodded and told his grandmother that he would learn martial arts well and would work hard to climb up the ranks. He would never take the looks of disdain from others, and he would never be bullied because of a piece of snack.

He was not afraid of hard work, nor was he afraid of being beaten. He was only afraid that his life was worse than a pig or a dog.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that it was only a dream.

He could not help but laugh at himself again.

Yesterday, he had rejected Young Lady Xia’s good intentions. At night, he actually dreamed of relying on someone else to go to the military camp?

In reality, the others were the same. They also hoped… that someone could help them, right?

Putting this dream aside, Lu Lin went to work obediently.

At noon, a man suddenly stood in front of him, “You are Lu Lin, right? Our First Young Lady has invited you over.”

First Young Lady? Did Young Lady Xia not give up on him and choose someone else?

Lu Lin was puzzled, but he was tactful and followed obediently.

When they reached the carriage at the city gate, the curtain was lifted. It was a girl he had met once.

“You’re the Young Lady Xie who caught the bullies…” Lu Lin was surprised.

That day, he had been hiding in the crowd to secretly watch, so he knew this girl.

“Have you thought it over? Do you want to go to the military camp and be a new recruit?” Xie Qiao said directly, “It’s very hard, and my father is very fierce. I can get him to take care of you, and I guarantee that you’ll be able to fall and hit. You’ll grow up to be… a little stronger than the others.”

To the military camp?!

Lu Lin’s expression changed, “H-How did you know…”

The dream he had last night?!

“Heaven’s secrets can not be divulged. You don’t have to care about how I know. You just have to tell me your decision,” Xie Qiao added.

Lu Lin was stunned, “You’re the same as Young Lady Xia. It’s also for… some grading?”

“More or less. I might want more,” Xie Qiao nodded in acknowledgment.

Besides the grading, she had to gather good karma.
