Chapter 802 I don’t regret it
Xiao Liu scratched his head and chuckled.
"Sister Lüyao made arrangements for us all back then, picking a few clever ones to run errands for her and even leaving the capital with her. I originally wanted to go with her too, but I'm not interested in business. I thought that my master would come back sooner or later, so it's fine for me to stay in the capital and run errands for you in the future."
"When the news of the accident came back, I couldn't believe it. I secretly tried to find out more information. As time went on, I met more people. I heard that His Highness was still alive, so I thought that you would be alright too. I just didn't know when I would be able to see you again. I thought about finding a job so as not to let you down. In the past few years, I have learned to read and write, so I slowly started looking for a job. Once, I was unlucky enough to get involved in a case and was almost considered a suspect. Unfortunately, none of us could explain ourselves that day. We thought we were definitely going to be caught up in it, but the yamen invited Clerk Min to examine the body and found out the cause of death. The yamen quickly solved the case, and we were released."
“I don’t know what happened, but I just started thinking about it. I was young and didn’t have a strong sense of self, but I was really scared that time. I don’t know where the idea came from, but I just felt that this was a good thing. If I learned this skill, I could be like Min Lingshi and make the dead talk. So I pestered Min Lingshi and wanted to become his apprentice. Min Lingshi was afraid that I would regret it, so he said a lot to me to try to dissuade me. But I’ve been an orphan since I was a child and have lived by begging. I never thought about what would happen in the future. I just believed that this was a good thing and I didn’t regret it.”
When Xiao Liu said this, her eyes shone brightly and were exceptionally firm. Then she looked at Lu Yangyang a little embarrassedly, "It's just that Master asked Sister Lüyao to go to the trouble of arranging a way out for us. I don't know if my choice was right or wrong."
Lu Yangyang smiled and patted his shoulder: "Of course you're right! The road ahead is so long, who can think that far ahead? The right thing to do is the one you don't regret right now. As long as you don't steal, rob, or break the law, what's wrong with that? Back in my rural hometown, I worked as a coroner. These past few days, I've been asking Magistrate Min to take his place so I can perform autopsies, find out the truth, and clear the victims' names. I'm so happy to see you here, to see you find what you want to do!"
Upon hearing Lu Yangyang's words, Xiao Liu was so moved that tears streamed down her face, and she shyly raised her hand to wipe them away.
He had his moments of hesitation in choosing to become a coroner under Min Lingshi. He was only fifteen, and couldn't really think long-term. But he wasn't a destitute beggar. He was lucky to have met a good master. Before leaving the capital, Lu Yangyang had made arrangements for them, guaranteeing that as long as they worked diligently, they wouldn't starve and would never have to beg again. He had enough money to live on, and his master's old house would provide free lodging. Learning a skill wouldn't be a problem; there was no need for him to become a despised coroner. But he didn't regret his choice. He was just afraid he wasn't mature enough, that he wouldn't think things through, and that he might disappoint his master's good intentions.
But seeing his master again today and hearing her encouragement filled him with excitement and pride. His master didn't look down on him for being useless, and she didn't look down on coroners either. She herself had worked as a coroner. Even someone as capable as her chose to do this job, which showed that his choice was correct!
"Master, I will definitely study hard and work hard in the future!" Xiao Liu was extremely excited.
"There are 360 professions, and every profession can produce an expert. Even if you don't want to do it in the future, it doesn't matter. As long as you do the things you want to do now well, there is nothing to regret!" Lu Yangyang feels that life is like a journey. When she was young, she did everything to make a living and never thought about what would happen to her in the future. Even today, she is a fairly mature doctor, but she still wants to do more.
"Mmm!" Xiao Liu nodded happily.
Then he got down to business: "Master, I still have all my old connections. If you need to ask me anything, just ask me. I don't need to study with my master these days, so I'll run errands for you!"
Lu Yangyang did indeed need his help. He had grown up in the capital since childhood and was much more familiar with the city than Hongyu, making him more convenient for her in some matters.
"Go and find out where the new top scorer Lu Wei lives. After you catch him tonight, come find me. I need to meet him. Have him make the arrangements."
