Zhao Yao walked around for a while, and then went back with Liang Run. When they returned, the little beggar who was rescued home by Liang Run had already woken up.

Seeing that the little beggar was staring at them vigilantly and was in a state of attack, Zhao Yao suddenly thought of the wolf. However, the little beggar in front of him could only be a thin little wolf cub who was seriously injured.

Liang Run asked softly, "What's your name?" ”

The little beggar did not speak.

"No name?"

The little beggar still didn't speak.

Uncle Zhang on the side said: "This kid doesn't seem to be able to speak. Uncle Zhang stayed by the little beggar's bedside, and when he woke up, he told him about his current situation. I talked to him for most of the day, but he didn't say a word.

"Can't speak?" Liang Run's eyebrows twisted, "This is a little difficult to do." ”

"Second uncle, I'll tell him."

Liang Run stood up and asked Zhao Yao to sit on the edge of the bed. He stood by Zhao Yao's side, and if the little beggar suddenly attacked Zhao Yao, he could also protect Zhao Yao as soon as possible.

When the little beggar saw Zhao Yao, a delicate and lovely child, the vigilance on his face instantly decreased a lot.

Zhao Yao carefully noticed that the little beggar was staring at Laiman from time to time, and he beckoned to Laiman.

Laiman walked to Zhao Yao's feet and rubbed his calf coquettishly.

Zhao Yao reached out and touched Laiman's head. The little beggar looked at this scene, and the vigilance in his eyes was much less, and Zhao Yao naturally noticed this.

"It's called Laiman, it's a good friend of mine."

Laiman wagged his tail happily and nodded his head.

"Do you have a friend like Laiman?"

The little beggar looked at Zhao Yao, and then looked full, so he nodded his head.

"Dogs are our best friends, they will protect us, they will not dislike us, they will always be loyal to us." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Is your good friend like this?" ”

The little beggar nodded again, but still did not speak.

"So where is your good friend now, can he be friends with Laiman?"

The little beggar barked softly, as if to say, "I would like to be friends with your dog." ”

The little beggar's face suddenly became sad, and he bit his lip tightly and said nothing.

"Your best friend is dead?" Zhao Yao asked, "Were you killed by the people who beat you today?" ”

The little beggar nodded with red eyes.

"Do you want to avenge your best friend?"

When the little beggar heard this, his eyes lit up at first, but soon they dimmed.

Zhao Yao patiently asked again, "Do you want to take revenge?" If you want revenge, I can help you. ”

The little beggar's eyes lit up again. This time he didn't nod again, and said, "Yes." His voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Uncle Zhang and Liang Run said in unison: "You are not dumb. ”

The little beggar didn't pay attention to Liang Run, and stared straight at Zhao Yao with a pair of eyes.

"Do you want to avenge your best friend with your own hands?"

Without any hesitation, the little beggar said, "Yes." "Rhubarb was beaten to death by those bastards in order to protect him, and he has always remembered this hatred. He had vowed that sooner or later he would avenge Rhubarb.

"If you want to beat those people, you have to make yourself stronger first, I can make you stronger, but I have the conditions."

"On what terms?"

"I can take you in, so that you can eat enough food every day, and you can eat meat, no longer begging for food, and find someone to teach you kung fu, but you have to be obedient and faithful, can you do it?" Zhao Yao said again, "By the way, I will also find someone to teach you to read and write." ”

When the little beggar heard Zhao Yao say this, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his dirty little face was full of shock.

"I don't want useless people, if you promise to be my person, you have to study martial arts hard, study and read well......"

Before Zhao Yao's words were finished, he was interrupted by the little beggar impatiently: "I am willing!" "Little beggars are most envious of those who can read and write. He often went to the door of the bookstore to beg and heard the people who were reading. He had always fantasized that one day he would be able to read and write. Now the opportunity to read and write is in front of him, and he is willing to do a thousand things. "I'm willing to do anything. I will be obedient and faithful to you. ”

Zhao Yao noticed that when he was teaching reading and literacy just now, the little beggar's eyes became very bright in an instant. "You want to read and write?"

"Yes!" The little beggar spoke very loudly.

Zhao Yao and Liang Run were a little surprised, they didn't expect a little beggar to want to read and write. For beggars, the most important thing should be to eat a full stomach instead of reading.

"What's your name?"

The little beggar shook his head and said, "I don't have a name. ”

Zhao Yao was not surprised at all by the little beggar's answer. He thought for a while and said, "Then you will be called Dingyuan from today on." ”

"Dingyuan?"

"It must be a plan. Far means far-sighted. Zhao Yaoyan smiled, "I hope you will be a person with a plan and a vision in the future." ”

Liang Run, who was on the side, said: "A person who has a plan and a vision is a smart person. ”

"I hope you'll become a smart person when you read the book, can you do that?"

"Yes!" The little beggar's expression became excited, and he wanted to sit up and kowtow to Zhao Yao, but as soon as he moved, he was involved in the injuries on his body, and he frowned in pain.

"You sit well. When you're well, it's not too late to thank me. Zhao Yao said, pointing to Liang Run on the side, "You will follow my second uncle in the future, and my second uncle will arrange for you to learn martial arts and read and write." ”

Dingyuan's eyes when he looked at Liang Run at this time were no longer guarded, but respectful.

"Yes."

"You take good care of your injuries first, and only after you have recovered from your injuries can you learn things."

"Yes, Childe."

"From today on, you will no longer be a beggar, but Dingyuan."

When Dingyuan heard this, his eyes turned red again. He hurriedly lowered his head, and his voice was full of crying: "I am Dingyuan......" Before he could say anything, his stomach suddenly rang. He was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed.

"There's still some food in the kitchen, I'll get it."

Soon, Liang Run brought a bowl of steamed buns.

Dingyuan took the steamed bun and did not gobble it up, but ate it one bite at a time. Although he is a beggar, he eats an unexpected Sven.

After Dingyuan was full, Zhao Yao asked him a few more questions, such as how old is he this year, and is there anyone else in the family? When did he start begging, has he been begging in the capital?

Dingyuan told Zhao Yao that he didn't know how old he was. All along, he was alone, and no one else. He also said that he didn't remember the past, he only remembered the events of the past two years. He didn't even remember what his name had before.

Zhao Yao guessed that Dingyuan should have burned his brain with a fever, or injured his head by falling, causing him to lose all his previous memories.

Dingyuan's body was very weak, and after talking to Zhao Yao for a while, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.

Zhao Yao and Liang Run went to the study, and Uncle Zhang stayed behind to continue guarding Dingyuan.

"Second uncle, Dingyuan will be handed over to you for training."

"Don't worry, I will cultivate Dingyuan well. However, before teaching him martial arts and reading and literacy, he had to teach him some etiquette rules. ”

"Second uncle, don't tell them my identity for the time being."

Liang Run understood Zhao Yao's scruples, "Okay." ”

"Second uncle, it takes a lot of money to adopt and cultivate some people, and the money you make in the capital is probably not enough."

"So I'm going to make my business bigger?"

"Second uncle, your business can't be bigger, otherwise it will cause trouble."

"That's right, if the money is not enough, I'll ask my father and mother to send me some."

Zhao Yao pondered for a while and said, "Second uncle, you have connections and power in Yangzhou, so after Yangzhou quells the rebellion, let your grandfather and them make their business bigger." ”

"That's fine."

"Let my grandfather do the same business I told my uncle about." The business he told his uncle was very profitable.

"Okay, I'll write to your grandfather tomorrow."

"Second uncle, let my grandfather adopt some orphans or beggars." After the uncle is stable in Qingzhou, he will also let the uncle cultivate some people.

"Okay."

"There are a lot of students in Yangzhou, so I can let my grandfather sponsor some poor students."

"Yaoyao, it's useless to fund those poor students, they can't be officials without recommendation." Just like him.

"They can become doormen or strategists, and I will go to the fiefdom in the future, and I can let them help manage the fiefdom." Zhao Yao thought very far. "In addition to scholars, you can also sponsor some people, let them learn martial arts and the art of war, and then send them to the barracks."

When Liang Run heard this, he was surprised: "Yaoyao, do you want to have your own people in the barracks?" ”
