I Live Forever in Memory

"The captain won't come, it seems to be going to a banquet..." Roberts, who was still bandaged on his shoulders, just finished speaking, he felt that his injured shoulder was patted twice, and he grinned in pain and turned his head to curse: "Which bastard... er... Captain?"

It was Li Lin who stood behind him and patted him on the shoulder. The latter was dressed in a black suit and his hair was trimmed, making him look more mature.

Roberts was a little embarrassed. Remembering what he said just now, he hurriedly asked, "Captain, didn't you go to the banquet?"

"What banquet could be more important than the funeral of a companion."

"..."

Everyone was a little moved when they heard this, but when the crying parents saw him, they immediately ran over and grabbed his clothes, "You...you are Captain Li Lin, right? I heard Baker talk about you, you must A soldier with a 'Warrior' medal received by the king..."

"it's me."

The woman in her fifties had cloudy eyes, and her black and yellow complexion looked like a farmer who worked all year round. She asked every word at this moment, "Captain, why, why did my son die..."

"Unfortunately, he fought bravely against the robbers."

Baker's father grabbed Li Lin's collar and asked with wide eyes, "Why didn't you save him! Why!"

"Hey! Uncle and aunt, what's the use of embarrassing our captain?"

"That's right, Baker was killed by a robber, and there's nothing we can do about it!"

"We all nearly died then!"

The recruits hurriedly pulled Baker's parents away from Li Lin. Li Lin looked at the two and sighed in his heart.

"Baker's sacrifice in exchange for the demise of a large gang of robbers, and uncovered the cancer in the gendarmerie... His sacrifice is meaningful." Li Lin said: "Don't worry, the two of you, the pension issued by the government A lot, enough to support your family of three until... when that teenager is an adult."

He was talking about Baker's younger brother, who raised his head and looked at Li Lin at the moment: "Big brother, I want to avenge my brother. Do you want to be a soldier too?"

"..."

"No, I won't be a soldier anymore! I won't do it!" The woman's face changed when she heard the words, she hugged the boy and murmured: "If you don't do it, there will be only one left, and we will never join the army again... …”

The family of three left after a while. Seeing them walking away, Roberts also asked Li Lin, "Captain, how can there be so many pensions? The government just sent it...that's a little bit. The box of money we left last time is also Almost all of them have been sent to the victims. Speaking of which, these robbers also have a lot of good things. How much alcohol did we confiscated? Medicine?

"Okay, the pension will be deducted from my monthly salary."

Li Lin stopped listening to Roberts' words and went to Baker's grave.Looking at the name above, he also had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Many times in life is powerless, you are the same, so am I.Even if I don't do it, when I catch Walter, after the matter is exposed... how can you handle yourself?I can let you go, but if you can go, can your family go away?Will the branch leader keep you alive?

"The robber's knife is really fast."

A voice sounded from beside him, and Li Lin turned his head to see that it was Ani.She stood aside, looking at the tombstone, her face was calm, as if she didn't speak at all just now, the cold voice was just Li Lin's hallucinations.

"A knife to the throat," she said again.

"……yes."

Chapter 058: Cake and Smile

"Sorry, I'm late."

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Li Lin arrived at the banquet venue, an hour later than the scheduled time.

It can be seen that everyone is a little unhappy, but the host of the banquet, the chairman of the Marlian Chamber of Commerce, and also the patriarch of the Strassman family, Elliot, kindly walked over to him and said, "It's okay."

"Come on, there are quite a few elegant young ladies in the arena who want to get to know you. I'll recommend one or two for you."

Elliot said it very naturally, even if it was the first time they met, the two of them seemed to be friends from a long time ago.

Li Lin looked at this man, who was probably less than 50 years old, tall and straight, with good features.His words and deeds are very educated, and he can make people feel refreshed when talking, without feeling arrogance.

"This is Miss Lianne."

"Hello." Li Lin said to the girl in front of him. The latter saw Li Lin's eyes also brightened and nodded with a smile: "Hello, I have heard a lot of your deeds."

"My pleasure."

Li Lin said that, but in his heart he was guessing the purpose of Elliott's invitation to come.It stands to reason that he is just a recruit captain. In the military police regiment, this kind of captain is really nothing and has no real power.It is impossible to invite him on this occasion.

Yet Elliot not only did it, but now received him personally.Did someone instruct?As far as the people I've been in contact with so far, the sub-group leader is familiar with the people in the Stobbes district...

He looked left and right, but also found the sub-group leader who was standing inside and chatting with a few people. Sure enough, he came too.So, maybe he was trying to win me over?

Thinking like this, I heard someone say, "Are you that Li Lin?"

The tone was a little rude. He looked up and found that it was a girl wearing a long skirt with a delicate face. At this moment, there was a hint of provocation and contempt in the emerald-like eyes.

"Ah, it's Miss Diana."

Elliott took a half step back, nodded slightly, and said that Li Lin could feel that his attitude had completely changed, and that was the respect of the lower-ranking person when facing the upper-ranking person.

As the president of the largest chamber of commerce in Stobes, who is this girl?

"I heard that you lived outside the wall for a year, it's amazing." The girl called Diana said again, but there was no compliment in her tone, "If I were you, I would rather commit suicide than kill myself. It's so hard to live. It's very important to maintain one's own pride, what do you think, Li Lin?"

"..."

Li Lin didn't know what this girl was doing, but he was too lazy to refute, and nodded casually, "Ah, yes."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the table where the food was placed, picked up a piece of cake and ate it.

Diana, who was watching this scene, was completely stunned, her breathing stopped, and she looked at Li Lin in disbelief.After a few seconds, an uncontrollable anger began to appear on her face, she stepped forward to walk over, but she stopped after taking a step.

Taking the initiative to initiate two conversations with a humble commoner would be too disgraceful.
