Chapter 27 There is news on the pavement

"Seven, eight, nine, ten!" Douzi and Huozi and others formed a circle. The boy in the circle was shackled and opened his bow left and right. In the blink of an eye, several other pancakes disappeared into his mouth. Li Zhang was frightened by the side because this kid had eaten nearly twenty pancakes. You must know that he would be overwhelmed with eating two of these pancakes at a time.

Fortunately, just as the other party finished the 16th pancake, he finally burped, which made Li Zhang breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the appetite was so scary, but immediately under their eyes, the boy picked up half a basin of rice porridge on the ground again, drank it in one breath, and then patted his bloated stomach and showed a satisfied expression.

"Brother, plus the four I ate just now, he ate a total of twenty big pancakes and half a pot of rice porridge. His appetite alone is as good as all of us!" However, just as others were amazed at the boy's appetite, the ugly lady expressed dissatisfaction to Li Zhang with a sad face, because the other party had eaten up all the breakfast she had prepared for tomorrow.

"This..." Li Zhang also had a headache at this time. He didn't expect that he would pick up a big rice bucket. According to the other party's way of eating, the food cost would be doubled. Thanks to making some money recently, otherwise he would not be able to afford such a rice bucket at all.

"Support it first, we don't need this food anyway!" Li Zhang finally decided to keep the other party. Although the other party had eaten a lot, he was also strong. If he could join them, he would be a powerful helper in the future. At least he didn't have to worry about not fighting back when encountering violence.

Like Douzi, Chou Niang was following Li Zhang's head, so after seeing him make a decision, she had to nod her head. At this time, she saw that the boy had finished eating, so she turned to clean up the bowls and chopsticks on the ground. Douzi and his group of people were shocked by the boy's appetite. They had long forgotten about the other party's stealing things, and they all surrounded the other party and asked questions, and even curiously wanted to touch the other party's belly, but the other party seemed to be very uncomfortable with such a life, and they would not allow others to touch themselves.

"By the way, what's your name?" Douzi suddenly overwhelmed everyone's voice and asked.

"Wild Dog!" a cold voice replied decisively, which made Li Zhang, who had turned around and was about to leave, so angry that he almost threw away the crutch in his hand. It turned out that he had given the other party the name "Li Ye" for nothing?

However, compared to the official name of Li Ye, the name of Wild Dog is obviously easier for Douzi and the others to accept. In fact, Douzi and the orphans do not have any official names. Douzi is better. At least he knows that his surname is Dou, but people like Huozi, Chou Niang and others don’t even know what his surname is, and their names are not much better than Wild Dogs. The final result is that no one knows the name of Li Ye, but the wild dog has become the official name of the boy.

When Li Zhang checked the wound the other day, he found that the name of a wild dog was really suitable for the other party, because his vitality was really as strong as a wild dog. Most of the bites and scratches yesterday were scabbed, and the knife that was cut on his thigh was not red, swollen and inflamed, but recovered well. It only took only one day. Even though the human body was strong in his youth, it was far beyond the level of ordinary people. Li Zhang could only explain this with the other party's extraordinary talent.

A few days later, Li Zhang's ankle was completely healed, and most of the wounds on the wild dog's body were scabbed and shedding, and there was no scar left. The only thing was that the wound on his thigh was too deep, but the wound had begun to heal. It was estimated that the stitches would be removed in two days. This also made Li Zhang amazed the other party's recovery speed. In comparison, he had to recuperate for one month after his foot was sprained, and his physical fitness was simply weaker than the other party.

With his feet ready, there is something that Li Zhang has been thinking about for a long time that should be put on the agenda, that is, to see what the so-called divine bird is? Although he heard that it was blocked by the imperial guards and no one was allowed to approach it, Li Zhang still did not give up and might find any loopholes to enter.

However, before Li Zhang set off, Lu Wu came to the charity village again this day. In fact, since the wild dogs came, Lu Wu has also come frequently, but today he brought good news.

"The yard was found, but it was not in Bianhe Town, but in Kaifeng City!" Lu Wu found Li Zhang with excitement and said loudly. Li Zhang had previously said that he wanted to find a yard to move out of the charity village, but Lu Wu took this matter on himself, and now there was a result.

"Kaifeng City? How can we afford to rent the yard there?" Li Zhang couldn't help but look surprised when he heard Lu Wu's words. The land price of Kaifeng City has been hyped up. A small and broken yard dares to cost hundreds of coins. The better ones are even sky-high, and the rent is naturally not cheap. At least Li Zhang and the others can't afford to rent it now.

"Hehe, you can really afford to rent this yard. It only costs ten yuan a year, and it is a shop facing the street. There is a yard behind you, which is enough for you kids to live in!" Lu Wu smiled proudly again. In the past few days, he has also mobilized his connections to find a suitable yard. He had already chosen a few before and was about to give Li Zhang a reference, but he didn't expect that there was a better choice today, so he hurried to discuss it with Li Zhang.

"Ten coins a year, and it's a shop facing the street. How is this possible?" Li Zhang looked at Lu Wu with some doubt when he heard this. He had learned about the housing prices in Kaifeng City and knew that a yard with a shop had a rent of no less than twenty coins. Some of the locations were good, and hundreds of coins a year were possible.

"Ordinary shops are definitely not so cheap, but this shop is a bit special, because just a while ago, the family of five who rented this shop for business were killed. Although the case was solved, there were people dead in the shop and no one dared to rent them. This made the owner of the shop very anxious and finally had to lower the price." Lu Wu finally explained.

"So it's a haunted house!" Li Zhang finally understood what was going on when he heard this. Haunted house was indeed not easy to rent or sell. Even in the era when he was not very superstitious, few people were willing to buy haunted houses, let alone in this era. However, Li Zhang and the others didn't care about haunted houses. After all, no matter how fierce it was, it was just a charity house. The hall behind him was full of dead people.

"How about it? If you think it's appropriate, I will ask the owner of the shop tomorrow to meet you. We will also go and see the shop. The other party is in a hurry to rent it out. I guess the price can be suppressed again!" Lu Wu asked Li Zhang's opinion again at this time.

"Tomorrow?" Li Zhang also showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, because he originally planned to go to the location of the divine bird tomorrow. Even if he couldn't get in, he could still walk outside, otherwise he would not give up.

"Boy, don't miss this opportunity. Although it is a haunted house, the price is already very cheap. Moreover, Tokyo City is so big, there are many bold people. One day later, they may be snatched away by others." Lu Wu saw Li Zhang hesitating and advised him again. He knew the location of the shops, and the location was also good. If it were placed in the past, you wouldn't have to take it down for thirty or forty cents a year.

"Okay, tomorrow is tomorrow!" Li Zhang finally gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, the divine bird will not run away when it falls on the mountain. At worst, it will be a day later. If he takes down this shop, he can do his business in Kaifeng City. The traffic of people in Kaifeng City is much stronger than the small Bianhe Town. If he can make his fame famous in Kaifeng City, he doesn't have to worry about money.

"I'm waiting for you, and I'll go and make a decision with the owner of the shop. I'll come to find you to enter the city tomorrow!" Lu Wu saw Li Zhang agreeing, and then slapped his thigh.

After Lu Wu said that, he stood up and was about to leave, but when he left, he suddenly turned back and came to the locked wild dog. The wild dog didn't like him, but he didn't dare to mess with him, so he could only huddle in the pile of firewood and not come out.

"This kid is quite honest. I heard from Li'er that he is very edible. If you can't afford it, let me take it to the prison. There is no shortage of him in the cell!" Lu Wu said coldly as he looked at the wild dog that was curled up into a ball. He still did not give up on his vigilance against the wild dog. Every time he came over, he would beat the other person a few words.

"Uncle Wu, Wild Dog is actually quite good. He has been with us during this period. Otherwise, you can untie him. I believe he will not hurt anyone!" Li Zhang also came over and pleaded for Wild Dog. He has now given up the name Li Ye, and Wild Dog himself is very satisfied with this name.

What Li Zhang said is also true. Although wild dogs are a little uncomfortable with people, they are not as cruel as the legendary ghost beggar. Except for the ugly lady who has a lot of opinions about his big appetite, others do not hate him. On the contrary, whenever he eats, Douzi and the others will gather in a circle to watch him perform, which has now become their regular program after meals.

"No, I know people but not my heart. It's impossible to find out his details in just a few days. It's better to lock it up for a while!" Lu Wu refused Li Zhang's request. He was responsible for the safety of Li Zhang's brother and sister, otherwise he would not be able to explain to that person or to himself.

Seeing that Lu Wu disagreed, Li Zhang was a little helpless. In fact, he had been observing the wild dog carefully during this period and found that although the other party was cold and withdrawn, he was not a vicious person. Moreover, the other party was only eleven years old, but he was the soul of an adult. On the scheming, the other party was definitely not his opponent, so he believed that he would not read it wrong.
