Chapter twenty-six bastards
When Li Zhang saw the other party wake up, he wanted to ask him about his name, but the beggar boy seemed very cold. No matter what Li Zhang asked, he kept silent. It seemed that he did not intend to communicate with Li Zhang.
Seeing that the other party was not talking, Li Zhang laughed. He was an adult soul after all, and it was too easy to pry open the other party's mouth, so he turned around and went to the kitchen, then took a pancake and shook it in front of the other party. When this guy entered the cell, he had to ask if he was in charge of food, so the food would definitely impress him.
Sure enough, the beggar boy immediately saw the pancake in Li Zhang's hand and his eyes were lit. He was so weak that he forced himself to sit up and reached out to grab the pancake. However, Li Zhang suddenly took back the pancake and said, "I'll give it to you if you answer my question!"
"Dog *mixed* species!" The beggar boy looked at the pancake and said seriously.
"You actually scolded me?" Li Zhang couldn't help but say a little annoyed when he heard the other party's words.
"My name is... a dog *mixed species!" The beggar boy saw Li Zhang misunderstanding and explained again, but he was still pampering with words and his words were very incoherent.
"Uh? Anyone called this kind of name?" Li Zhang was stunned. Although he had heard of rural children named Gou Sheng and Donkey Dan, he had never heard of such a swearing name?
However, just when Li Zhang was stunned, the boy suddenly reached out to grab the cake and then swallowed it in a few voracious bites. Li Zhang had never seen people who eat quickly. For example, as a martial artist, Lu Wu ate very quickly. Children like Douzi and Huozi were afraid of hungry, and when they were eating, they were more like reincarnated by hungry wolf, but none of them could compare with this boy.
"Okay, you have eaten the cooked cake. Now I will answer my next question. Are you a ghost beggar who came out of Wuyou Cave?" Li Zhang asked again at this time.
However, in the face of Li Zhang's re-inquiry, the young man did not answer. Instead, he first looked at him, and then looked at the kitchen not far away. The meaning was very obvious. If he wanted to answer, he had to bring food again.
Li Zhang felt angry and funny when he saw this, but this was fine, at least it was better than not talking nonsense, so he stood up again and took a pancake. This time he learned to be smart, and did not give it to him the whole thing, but broke off a small piece and put it in the other party's hand. This made the young man glar at him, but finally nodded and replied: "Yes!"
"Then why are you coming out?" Li Zhang broke a piece of the pancake again and shook it in front of his eyes and asked.
"Someone... asked me... to come out!" The boy replied with some difficulty this time. He should have not communicated with others for a long time, so he seemed to be very fluent in speaking. In addition, he seemed a little resistant to Li Zhang's question, but for the sake of food, he still answered, but did not say who asked him to come out.
"Who is this person?" Li Zhang asked curiously again when he heard this.
However, what Li Zhang did not expect was that although the young man looked at the cooked cakes in his hand greedily, he finally shook his head firmly and refused to answer. This surprised Li Zhang a little. He thought the other party was too little, so he broke up another piece of cooked cakes at the moment, but this time the other party turned his head away. It seemed that he was determined to refuse to answer this question. It was probably that person was very important to him.
"Okay, then another question, how old are you this year?" Seeing that the other party refused to say it, Li Zhang did not force it anymore and asked again.
"Eleventh!" This time the boy answered very readily. After saying that, he grabbed two pieces of cake and threw them into his mouth. He swallowed his stomach without even chewing it.
Next, Li Zhang asked the other party some other questions, most of which he was willing to answer, but when he encountered questions related to his parents, the young man would keep silent, which made Li Zhang secretly guess that the person who asked him to come out of the ground was probably his parents, at least one of them.
"The name of dog *miscellaneous* is so ugly. Let's change the name. What do you think is good?" Li Zhang asked again. At this time, the cooked cake in his hand had been used up. As a result, the other party glanced at him empty-handed, closed his eyes again and refused to speak.
Seeing that the other party was not seeing the rabbit or showing off the eagle, Li Zhang was also angry again. He thought that having said so much just now had already opened up the line of defense against him, but he did not expect that he was still not as important as cooking cakes in the eyes of the other party.
In desperation, Li Zhang took a pancake again and said in an orderly tone: "Give yourself a name!"
"Wild Dog!" This kid was lazy and gave himself a name casually. He probably thought of being attacked by a wild dog before, so he used it as his name.
"What's your surname? Don't say your surname is dog!" Li Zhang was angry again. He just called the dog *miscellaneous species, but now he is called the wild dog. Why is this kid so incompetent to dogs?
The issue of surname actually involves the other party’s parents. I saw that the boy was silent for a moment this time, then shook his head and said, “No surname!”
Although Li Zhang knew that the other party didn't tell the truth, he at least answered a question related to his parents, which made him feel a little better. Then he thought for a while and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then follow my surname Li. The name Wild Dog is too ugly. Take the word Wild Dog in the first place, and you can call it Li Ye in the future!"
The boy didn't seem to care about the name Li Zhang gave him. Instead, he kept staring at the cooked cake in his hand. This made Li Zhang so angry that he stuffed the cooked cake into the other party's hand. He worked hard to help the other party's name, but in the other party's eyes, he was not as good as a cooked cake. He was really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs.
At this moment, Lu Wu returned here with a pair of shackles. He was shocked when he saw that the young man had woken up. However, when he saw that the other party had not hurt Li Zhang and others, he felt relieved and then strode over to put shackles on the other party, but the other party was very resistant. He knew that he could not beat Lu Wu, so he could only keep drilling into the firewood behind him. Unfortunately, he was still wearing shackles in the end, and Lu Wu locked the other end on a big elm tree next to him.
"Okay, I'll feel relieved now. I'll take the key first. When he's honest, I'll let him go!" Lu Wu said as he put away the key, and then he greeted Li Zhang and his sister and left. After all, he also had official duties.
Lu Wu left, but the young man named Li Ye, who was named Li Ye by Li Zhang, began to struggle to take off his shackles. It seemed that he didn't like freedom being restricted. However, he had big feet. Unless he cut off his feet, it was impossible to take off his shackles. In the end, he would grind all his ankles and bleed.
"Stop struggling. I will persuade Uncle Wu to open the shackles in a few days. You will be at home to be relieved during this period. This is today's breakfast!" Li Zhang walked over with a bowl of porridge and a few pancakes and persuaded him, and after that, he put the rice in front of the other party.
The boy was reincarnated as a starving ghost outside. As long as he had something to eat, he would not take anything to heart. When he saw the breakfast sent by Li Zhang, he immediately gave up struggling and rushed over and ate it wildly. In the blink of an eye, he ate four big cakes and a large bowl of porridge and ate them in his stomach, but in the end he still said with unsatisfactory words: "Is there any?"
This was the first time the other party took the initiative to talk to Li Zhang, but Li Zhang refused to let him eat it again, because with the three he had just added, he had already eaten seven pancakes and a large bowl of porridge. Of course, this kid was very strong and it was worth eating too much, but Li Zhang was worried that he would not be full all year round, and eating so much would make him die of a sudden.
Seeing that Li Zhang no longer gave him food, the boy was a little disappointed, but he seemed to know that he had eaten too much, so he didn't ask for it anymore. Instead, he turned around and went to sleep with firewood. At this time, he knew that Li Zhang had no malice towards him and gave him food, so he gave up his plan to escape. Of course, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to escape now.
That night, Douzi and Huozi came back and saw the locked boy, and they were very curious. When they learned that the other party was the thief who stole the cake, Douzi and the others even wanted to teach each other a lesson, but they were stopped by Li Zhang, mainly because they were afraid that Douzi and the others would be injured. Although Li Ye's feet were locked, within his range of activities, Douzi and the others were not enough for him to beat him alone.
"Eat it!" Li Zhang personally put the supper in front of the boy. The supper was still a bowl of porridge and four pancakes, and half a piece of pork liver that was not sold today as a dish. Li Zhang has always been very generous in eating, mainly because when their children are growing up, the nutrition must be kept up, so the remaining braised meat every day is the dish for the evening.
Seeing that there was meat, the boy seemed to be crazy. After snatching the food, he ate it again. To be precise, he should be swallowing it. He could bite half of the cooked cakes as big as an adult's palm, and swallowed it without even chewing the pork liver. The four cooked cakes entered his stomach in the blink of an eye, and the same was true for rice porridge. One mouth was opened and the neck was raised, and a bowl of rice porridge disappeared.
Although this is not the first time he has seen each other eat, Li Zhang still feels a little shocked. Later generations have seen lions, hyenas and other wild beasts feeding in Africa, but it is very similar to the boy in front of him. However, it is the first time he has seen someone eat like a wild beast.
"Is it still... still? I'm hungry!" The rare boy spoke up again, and this time it was still related to eating.
