Chapter Twenty-Four: The Beggar Boy
"Huh~" In the open space between several garbage heaps, a dirty beggar with black mud was biting together with more than a dozen wild dogs, a pair of strangely long arms was extremely powerful, and he directly twisted his neck when he grabbed a wild dog, and then with a wave of his arm, several wild dogs around him flew out, one of which just fell in front of Li Zhang, and scared him again.
Although the wild dogs were superior in numbers, and these filthy beggars seemed to be injured, and their bodies were covered in blood, he was extremely brave, and in the blink of an eye, several wild dogs were broken by him, and one of them bit his calf, but he grabbed two hind legs, and with a loud roar, he directly tore the wild dog into two pieces, and blood and internal organs flew everywhere.
Seeing the beggar so brave, the remaining few wild dogs were also frightened and screamed, and ran away with their tails between their legs, but the beggar flew to a backward wild dog, and suddenly opened his mouth like a wild dog to bite the dog's neck, as a result, the wild dog wailed, and the whole body was also violently struggling and convulsing, and the beggar bit the wild dog's neck and did not let go, gulping and sucking the fishy dog blood, which looked no different from the beast.
At last the wild dog finally slowly stopped moving, and the beggar seemed to have exhausted all his strength at this time, and immediately turned over and lay on the ground motionless, only the shriveled chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped for breath.
"Dogs bite people are common, but it's the first time I've seen people bite dogs!" Lu Wu was not frightened by the scene in front of him at this time, but stepped on the blood and internal organs of the wild dog and walked to the beggar and said with a smile.
Li Zhang was also taken aback by the bloody scene just now, but seeing Lu Wu so calm, he also put his mind at ease, and immediately followed Lu Wu to the beggar, and then looked at the other party carefully, and this beggar seemed to be exhausted and had no energy to pay attention to them at all.
It was only then that Li Zhang discovered that this beggar who fought against the group of dogs was actually still a child, but his limbs were extremely long, and he looked taller than ordinary children, especially a pair of big feet were very conspicuous, and his whole body was dirty, his exposed skin was covered with black mud and blood, and his hair covered most of his face like weeds, but the exposed half of his eyes were full of unyielding and stubbornness.
In addition, there is a palm-length wound on the other party's right leg, which is the knife wound that was cut by Lu Wu before, although it has been wrapped in a rag, but it is still oozing blood outwardly, which is estimated to be the smell of blood on his body, so it attracted those wild dogs to besiege him, after all, dogs and wolves are originally close relatives, and dogs in the wild will recover a little wolf nature after a long time
"Don't pretend to be dead, boy, since you dare to steal, then don't blame Lao Tzu for arresting you and going to the cell!" At this time, Lu Wu stretched out his foot and kicked this dirty young man, usually this kind of beggar is too lazy to catch in the yamen, but he also saw the cruelty of this kid just now, although he was not afraid, but Li Zhang's brothers and sisters were not, so he decided that he couldn't let go of the other party at this time.
After hearing Lu Wu's words, the young beggar finally rolled his eyes, and then stared at him and Li Zhang, and then said in a jerky voice: "Prison...... Do you have a meal? ”
The beggar boy only spoke five words, but there was still a break in the middle, and he seemed to be speaking very fluently. But Lu Wu was stunned when he heard this, he had arrested countless prisoners, and it was the first time he had met him and asked if he was in charge of food in the cell. This made him laugh dumbly: "Take care of the rice, but the prison food is not very good......
"Good! I'm ...... You go back! Before Lu Wu could finish speaking, the beggar boy struggled to stand up with glowing eyes, as if as long as there was food, he would crawl to it, even if it was a cell without any freedom.
However, this beggar boy struggled for a long time, not only did he not get up, but suddenly his whole body was weak and fainted, which is not surprising, he was slashed by Lu Wu before and lost a lot of blood, judging from the estimated blood loss by Li Zhang on the road, ordinary people have long been unable to withstand it, and even their lives will be in danger, but this young man not only ran back, but also fought with a group of wild dogs, and it shows that his physique is different from ordinary people.
"Don't pretend, boy, hurry up and get up for Lao Tzu!" Lu Wu didn't believe that the beggar boy really fainted, but kicked twice again, he had seen too much ugliness of human nature, and at this time he also suspected that the boy was pretending to be unconscious.
However, the beggar boy on the ground didn't react, Li Zhang squatted down and rolled his eyelids to check it at this time, and then said to Lu Wu: "Uncle Wu, he is really in a coma, it is estimated that he is in a coma due to excessive blood loss and detachment, if he is left alone, he may die here." ”
"Death is death, no one cares if a beggar dies, and you won't have to worry about losing anything in the future." Lu Wu didn't care about it, Kaifeng Mansion is so big, countless people die quietly every day, even if he is the head of the team, he can't count them.
At this time, Li Zhang touched his chin and looked at the unconscious beggar boy on the ground, and after a while, he suddenly stood up and said to Lu Wu: "Uncle Wu, I want to take him back!" ”
"Take it back?" Lu Wu was immediately stunned, and his gaze at Li Zhang was also full of puzzlement.
"I don't think this young man's nature is bad, he only stole food the first few times he went to Yizhuang, even if he fell into my trap the day before yesterday, he just broke free and stole some food, and didn't hurt me and the raccoon, from this point of view, he still has a basic view of good and evil in his heart." Li Zhang opened his mouth to explain that although this young man was a beggar, he was infinitely powerful and swift as the wind, and if he really wanted to hurt Li Zhang's brothers and sisters, I am afraid that just one door would not stop him at all.
"So what, a thief is a thief, if he can steal food today, he may steal gold and silver tomorrow, or even rob and kill people, you see those criminals in prison, which one of them didn't start with a small mistake?" Lu Wu still disagreed, because he felt that it would not be safe to leave this beggar with Li Zhang.
"We used to do petty theft when we didn't have anything to eat, and it was a bad feeling to be hungry, and I thought he was very useful to us!" Li Zhang smiled again.
"Useful? What's the use of a beggar you coming? Lu Wu was stunned again when he heard Li Zhang's last words.
"Uncle Wu, in the past, what our children lacked the most was food, but now we have earned money, the problem of eating has been solved, and the business is getting better and better, but we still lack one very important thing, that is, the ability to protect ourselves!" Li Zhang said seriously at this time.
"With Lao Tzu here, who dares to bully you?" When Lu Wu heard Li Zhang's words, he was furious again.
"Uncle Wu, of course, your prestige can deter many people, but you can't follow us twelve hours a day, and you are usually too busy, and it is normal to not see anyone for a few days, plus we are a bunch of children who have not grown up, and occasionally we will encounter some annoying things, such as yesterday when they sold braised meat for beans, they met two people who ate white food, grabbed the braised meat and ran, and they couldn't catch up with the beans, and finally they could only consider themselves unlucky."
Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh at the end, Lu Wu's deterrent power can only be reflected in big aspects, but in some small things, many people will try their best to take advantage of their children, and their children are very powerless in this regard.
Lu Wu is also proficient in human accidents, and he also showed a silent expression when he heard Li Zhang's words, indeed, he can't protect Li Zhang's brothers and sisters all the time, especially as Li Zhang gets older and more independent, and now he knows how to recruit useful subordinates, which makes him both relieved and a little disappointed.
"Okay, this kid has a lot of strength and is very agile, and he is a good material to be a thug, but you have to be careful of this kind of beggar-born person, and tie it with a rope when you go back, so that he won't wake up and hurt people!" Lu Wu thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded and said.
"Uncle Wu, don't worry, I know this!" Li Zhang saw that Lu Wu agreed, and nodded excitedly at the moment, after saying that, he bent down and pulled the beggar boy up, but because of the small strength of the person, he couldn't pull it at all, and in the end, Lu Wu took it personally, carried the other party on his shoulder, and then returned to Yizhuang with Li Zhang.
At this time, it was not early, and the beans and Huozi had already pushed the cart out of the stall before, but the ugly girl and the raccoon dog and other girls were at home, and now there was a division of labor in the stall, and they were responsible for buying beans, and the ugly girl was responsible for handling the sewer, and after cleaning, they were sent to the dock to cook and sell.
"Big brother, why did you come back, did you get hurt?" As soon as Li Zhang and Lu Wu entered the courtyard, Tanuki immediately ran up and asked, Li Zhang also woke up when he went out, and she had been worried about Li Zhang, and she was not relieved until she saw him come back now.
"With me here, who can hurt your eldest brother?" Lu Wu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Tanuki'er's words, and then pointed to the beggar on his shoulder and said, "Look, the thief who stole things has been caught by me, and you don't have to worry about losing things in the future!" ”
"Uncle Wu is amazing!" At this time, the raccoon noticed that Lu Wu was still carrying a person on his shoulder, and he also clapped his hands and shouted, and the ugly girl and others also surrounded at this time, looking at this thief who stole their cooking cakes every day.
"It's a little beggar, it doesn't seem to be as old as me." The ugly lady looked at the other party for a long time, and finally said with some disappointment, she thought that the other party was a snitch with great powers, just like the legend on the street, those snitches who flew around the streets and alleys to hook up with rich families, but she didn't expect that the other party was just a little beggar, but she didn't expect that if there was really such a snitch, how could she come to Yizhuang to steal cooking cakes?
Li Zhang comforted the raccoon dog at this time, and then asked Lu Wu to put the beggar boy in the firewood in the yard, and he also helped him deal with his wounds himself, but when he just brought water to clean the other party's wounds, he suddenly exclaimed, because he found that this kid's body was abnormal.
