"So the owner of the dock is reluctant to ask for Yuan Zishan because of his father Yuan Shaowen?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

Ma Bencai nodded and said, "Yes, now in Taiyuan City, where would dare to accept Yuan Shaowen's child? ”

Tian Zhiyu thought of Dou Mingyuan and asked, "Then Yuan Shaowen's matter, is the entire Taiyuan City aware of it?"

Ma Bencai shook his head and said: "It's not, after all, King Jin doesn't want to make trouble all over the world, so the whole news is only known to the government and people who often mess around on the road." ”

No wonder, if Dou Mingyuan knew the truth of the matter, I am afraid that he would not want Yuan Jingshan anymore. Even if it's okay right now, if someone tells King Jin or Dou Mingyuan about it, it's all trouble.

An incompetent father not only ruined his own life, but also affected his two children. Tian Zhiyu's mind was still spinning quickly, to see if there was any other good way.

"If you don't do this, Brother Tian, I'll give him a sum of money so that he can live enough, so you don't have to worry about it, they also have a way to live, what do you think?"

"Brother Ma, money can only solve the current problem, he is already sixteen years old, if there is no work to support himself, what should I do when the money is spent? Besides, once a teenager has money, it is easy to squander, go astray, and it is easy to cause ill-intentioned people to have bad intentions, I still want to help him find a stable job, as the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. ”

Ma Bencai sighed and said, "Brother Tian, I can understand your kindness, but it is indeed a big trouble right now, unless they leave Taiyuan City and live in a different place." ”

Tian Zhiyu thought, it's okay to change places, but when he thinks about it, he doesn't know anyone else in other places, and it would be a trouble to entrust them to Ma Bencai. Ma Bencai has been going to Taiyuan for many years, and he has a good relationship with the King of Jin, and if he adopts Yuan Shaowen's child, I am afraid it will also be a hidden danger.

Ma Bencai said again: "There is another way, this girl is easy to say, anyway, few people have seen it, you can change your name and take it to my house, anyway, there is usually no one living here, and it is still okay for a few maids to serve a little girl." You can also dress as a man when you go to school, and you won't be found out at a young age. As for that kid," he looked at Tian Zhiyu and said, "Aren't you familiar with General Shi Guangying in Cloud City, why don't you look for him and see if you can send this kid to be a soldier?"

Tian Zhiyu thought about it, yes, how could I forget the road of being a soldier, and suddenly said happily: "Brother Ma, this is a good idea, if you send it to Cloud City, King Jin will not know, and I have found a way to live for him, I think it's okay." I'm going to talk to my brother and sister. ”

Ma Bencai stopped Tian Zhiyu, who was excited, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not too late to eat lunch first and then go over." ”

Tian Zhiyu smiled and said, "Yes, you still have more ways to do it, Brother Ma." ”

After eating at noon, Tian Zhiyu didn't wait to rest for a while, so he went to the house of Yuan Zishan and Yuan Jingshan's two brothers and sisters, at this time they had already had lunch, Yuan Zishan was very happy to see Tian Zhiyu coming, and said, "Brother, are you here?"

Tian Zhiyu replied with a smile, looked at Yuan Jingshan again, and saw that she was much better than in the morning, although she couldn't speak yet, her hair was already dirty, at least she had seen a trace of anger.

"By the way, brother, I told the local security of this area that I wanted to buy a neighbor's house, but the local security kicked me out, and after saying that, the originally happy little face looked depressed.

Tian Zhiyu knew the reason, pulled him and said, "Come, let's talk." After the two sat down, Tian Zhiyu asked him: "After I went back, I got to know people, didn't you tell me the truth? Is your father still alive?"

The young man's face changed, and he said, "Even if he is alive, in the eyes of our brothers and sisters, it is the same as death." ”

Tian Zhiyu understands the hatred of his father in the heart of the teenager, not all of them were orphans in the orphanage, some were abandoned by their parents, and some of them had to live in orphanages because their parents were in prison and no one took care of them.

"Don't worry, let me ask you, do you know what your father did?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

The boy nodded, a look of shame on his face, probably thinking that having such a father would be a shameful thing anyway.

Although Tian Zhiyu is not a few years older than him, he is much taller and more mature than him, so he touched his head affectionately and said, "Don't mind what I say below, because of your father, I want to find a way to find a job in Taiyuan for you, it's very difficult." ”

"I know that I have also wanted to sell coolies, to apply for long-term jobs in large households, to apply for jobs in shops, but they have all been kicked out," the young man's face became more and more depressed.

Tian Zhiyu continued: "Then let me ask you, if you can go to Cloud City to join the army, are you willing? I am familiar with all the generals in Cloud City, and I can help you ask." ”

Yuan Zishan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Can I? Won't they want me because of my father?"

"I'm not sure about this, if you are willing to join the army, I will help you ask, and I have to ask for your opinion first," Tian Zhiyu said.

"I do," the young man shouted as soon as Tian Zhiyu's words fell, but then he frowned again, and said, "It would be good if I could go to the army, but what about my sister? ”

"I've thought about this too, my sister still goes to Mingyuan Academy. I have a business friend who is not a local, but he bought a house in the local area, and there is a servant in the house. He doesn't stay in Taiyuan very often, and we plan to go south in a few days, which may take a long time. I asked him that my sister can live with him and have someone to take care of you, so you don't have to worry," Tian Zhiyu said: "But in order not to cause trouble for the people in the academy, we need to change your sister's name temporarily, do you think it's okay?"

Yuan Zishan thought about it, and it seemed that there was no better way, so he had to ask cautiously: "Then can my sister change back to her own name in the future?" Our name was chosen by our mother, and it has nothing to do with my father. ”

"Of course, when my sister grows up, she can call her whatever she wants. ”

Yuan Zishan nodded fiercely and said, "We are all arranged by my brother," and then thought for a while, and then said, "Then brother, can you think of a name for your sister?"

Tian Zhiyu thought for a moment and said, "What is your mother's surname? Let my sister follow her mother's surname first." ”

"My mother's surname is Tian. ”

Tian Zhiyu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, your mother actually has the same surname as me, it seems that it is really fate." ”

"It turns out that brother, your surname is also Tian," Yuan Zishan said happily: "Then brother, what is your name?"

"Tian Zhiyu. ”

"Then my sister and I will call you Brother Tian in the future," the young man said cheerfully.

Tian Zhiyu nodded, and looked at her sister again, she had been looking at the two of them with her eyes open, maybe she had heard the conversation just now, so she said: "Yuan Jingshan, I'll change your name first, how about calling Tian Jing?" Jing is not the same word as your Jing, it is a Li plus a Qing, this word can be used as a boy's name, it can also be used as a girl's name, you can use it for a few years temporarily, and when you grow up, you can change the name back, okay?"

Although the little girl was unkempt, her eyes were very big, flickering and flickering, she listened to Tian Zhiyu's words, and nodded her head, and two lines of tears flowed out of her big eyes.

Tian Zhiyu was also a little sad, he tried his best to restrain his tears, and said to Yuan Zishan: "Zishan, you go and make some new clothes for you and your sister first, and I will go to Cloud City now to help you inquire." ”

Tian Zhiyu rushed to Cloud City again without stopping, Wu Xiujing, who was in charge of patrolling, saw him with a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly pulled him to Zhang Bin's room, the three of them were only two or three days apart, but it seemed that they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

After saying a few polite words, Zhang Bin said: "Brother Tian, when you came here this time, do you miss this Cloud City and don't want to leave?"

Tian Zhiyu smiled and said, "To be honest, I really miss it, but I came here this time because I want to ask you for help." ”

"What do you want or not, you just have to open your mouth if you have something," Wu Xiujing on the side said.

Tian Zhiyu told the two of them the matter as it was, Zhang Bin thought about it after listening to it, and said: "This is actually not difficult, I have 80,000 soldiers in Cloud City, and it is nothing to add a teenager." Besides, even if King Jin knew, he couldn't hold his head up for the rest of his life because his father was a prisoner, right? ”

In the past two years, the king of Jin and the generals of Yunzhong City have maintained a posture of discord between the face and the inside, and the two sides have maintained a certain distance in line with the principle that the well water does not interfere with the river water

Shi Guangying and Zhu Xiaoping are okay, Zhang Bin and Wu Xiujing already have a lot of complaints about King Jin, plus they have a good background and are young and vigorous, so they look down on King Jin from the bottom of their hearts.

Tian Zhiyu was about to thank the two of them, but Zhang Bin said again: "But we'd better talk to General Shi and General Zhu about this matter, and I think the two of them will agree." ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded, and accompanied them to meet Shi Guangying and Zhu Xiaoping, and sure enough, the two agreed after thinking for a moment, Tian Zhiyu helped them so much, they still have to give this love.

Tian Zhiyu declined their suggestion to keep him for dinner, rushed back to Taiyuan City, went to Yuan Zishan's house, and told him that Yunzhong City had agreed to let him join the army. After hearing the news, Yuan Zishan had irrepressible excitement on his face, and kept thanking Tian Zhiyu.

Tian Zhiyu said: "You guys will eat something for a while, and then take you and your sister to me later, it's still dawn, let's try not to let people see my sister, and wait for it to get dark before acting." ”

Yuan Zishan nodded, he now regarded Tian Zhiyu as a benefactor and obeyed him.

After returning to Ma Bencai's house, Tian Zhiyu told the result, and Ma Bencai was also very happy and kept praising Tian Zhiyu.

"Brother Ma, don't praise me anymore, most of the credit for this matter is yours, and I will trouble you a lot in the future," Tian Zhiyu said embarrassedly.

"Brother Tian, you're going to see each other, who are we with," Ma Bencai said: "Besides, I can't live in my house for a few days a year, and a few of them are also idle, and they are also happy to have a child to accompany them." ”

Tian Zhiyu remembered one more thing and asked, "By the way, Brother Ma, when you talked about Yuan Shaowen's experience at noon, you mentioned Rakshasa Island, what is this Rakshasa Island?"

"This Rakshasa Island is also an island in the South China Sea, it is not very far from Qilin Island, and it is only about two or three days by boat, but it is different from the beautiful scenery and rich products of Qilin Island, when people first discovered Rakshasa Island, it was full of thorns and poisonous miasma, which was completely unsuitable for survival, so no one lived for hundreds of years. ”

"Later, the Rakshasa people often came to invade the Dongyang Kingdom, and were arrested by many Dongyang officers and soldiers, some of them were beheaded, and those who were not very serious were exiled to that island and left to fend for themselves. Later, after a long time, people called that island Rakshasa Island. Now there are very few exiled Rakshasas, but now the island is also full of extremely vicious people, ordinary people will not go, and some outlaws on the rivers and lakes will venture to the island after they are cornered, and over time it has become a place that makes people smell and fear. ”

It turns out that this is the case, I didn't expect that there is such a place in this world, I don't know if there will be a country developed there in the future, like Australia, Tian Zhiyu thought.
