Chapter Twenty-Seven: News from the Shop
"Seven, eight, nine, ten!" Douzi and Huozi and the others formed a circle, and the young man wearing shackles in the circle opened his bow left and right, and in the blink of an eye, a few more cooking cakes disappeared into his mouth, and Li Zhang was terrified when he watched from the side, because this kid had already eaten nearly twenty cooking cakes, and he knew that he could hold up after eating two of these cooking cakes at a time.
Fortunately, when the other party finished eating the sixteenth cookcake, he finally burped, which made Li Zhang also breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the amount of food was simply too scary, but then under their gaze, the young man picked up half a pot of rice porridge on the ground again, and drank it in one go, and then patted his swollen stomach to show a satisfied expression.
"Big brother, plus the four he ate just now, he ate a total of twenty large cooking cakes, and half a pot of rice porridge, and his food alone is more than all of us!" However, when others were amazed at the amount of food the young man ate, the ugly lady expressed her dissatisfaction to Li Zhang with a sad face, because the other party had even eaten up 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, and thanks to the recent period of making some money, otherwise he would not be able to raise this kind of rice bucket at all.
"Let's raise it first, we don't lack this bit of food anyway!" Li Zhang finally decided to leave the other party behind, although the other party ate a lot, but also had a lot of strength, if he could join them, he would also be a strong helper in the future, at least he didn't have to worry about the violence when they didn't have the power to fight back.
The ugly lady is the same as Douzi, both of whom are looking at Li Zhang's horse, so after seeing him make a decision, she had to nod her head in agreement, at this time she saw that the boy had finished eating, so she turned around to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the ground, Douzi The gang was shocked by the amount of food that the young man ate, and he had long forgotten about the other party's stealing, and asked each other questions one by one, and even wanted to touch each other's stomachs curiously, but the other party seemed to be very uncomfortable with this kind of life, and he did not allow others to touch himself.
"By the way, what's your name?" Douzi asked at this time, suddenly overpowering everyone's voice.
"Wild dogs!" A cold voice replied decisively, which made Li Zhang, who had turned around and was about to leave, almost threw away the crutches in his hand angrily, and dared to give 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 to accept, in fact, Douzi and their group of orphans do not have any official names, Douzi is better, at least they know their surname Dou, but like Huozi, Ugly Niang and others, they don't even know what their surnames are, and their names are not much stronger than Wild Dogs, and the final result is that no one knows the name Li Ye, but Wild Dogs have become the official name of teenagers.
When Li Zhang checked the wound of the other party the next day, he found that the name of the 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 on the thigh was not red, swollen and inflamed, but recovered very well.
After a few days, Li Zhang's ankle has been completely healed, and most of the injuries on the wild dog's body have also scabbed off, and even the scar has not been left, but the wound on the thigh is too deep, but the wound has begun to heal, and it is estimated that the stitches will be removed in two days, which also makes Li Zhang marvel at the recovery speed of the other party.
With his feet ready, there is one thing that Li Zhang has been thinking about for a long time should also be put on the agenda, that is, to see what the so-called divine bird is? Although he heard that the place was blocked by the forbidden army and no one was allowed to approach, Li Zhang still did not give up, and he might be able to find some loopholes to enter.
But before Li Zhang left, Lu Wu came to Yizhuang again on this day, in fact, since the wild dog came, Lu Wu also came often, but today he brought a good news.
"The yard was found, but it was not in Bianhe Town, but in Kaifeng City!" I saw Lu Wu find Li Zhang with an excited face and said loudly, before Li Zhang said that he wanted to find a yard to move out of Yizhuang, but Lu Wu took this matter on himself, and now there is finally a result.
"Kaifeng City? How can we afford to rent a yard there? Li Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Lu Wu's words, the land price of Kaifeng City has been speculated to the sky, and a small broken yard dares to ask for hundreds of yuan, and the better ones are even more sky-high, and the rent is naturally not cheap, at least Li Zhang, they can't afford it now.
"Hehe, you can really afford to rent this yard, only ten times a year, and it is also a street frontage, with a yard in the back, enough for you children to live!" Lu Wu smiled proudly again, in the past few days, he has also mobilized his connections to look around for a suitable yard, he had already selected a few before, and was about to give Li Zhang a reference, but he didn't expect that there would suddenly be a better choice today, so he hurriedly ran to Li Zhang to discuss.
"Ten times a year, and it's still a shop on the street, how is this possible?" Li Zhang glanced at Lu Wu with some suspicion when he heard this, he had learned about the housing prices in Kaifeng City, and knew that the rent of a yard with a shop was not less than 20 yuan, and some of the good locations were even more likely to be hundreds of yuan a year.
"The general shop will definitely not be so cheap, but this shop is a little special, because just some time ago, a family of five who rented this shop to do business were all killed, although the case was solved, but there were dead people in the shop, no one dared to rent at all, which made the owner of the shop anxious, and finally had to reduce the price." Lu Wu finally explained.
"It turned out to be a murderous house!" Li Zhang finally understood what was going on when he heard this, the murderous mansion is indeed not easy to rent or sell, even in the less superstitious era of the later generations, few people are willing to buy the murderous mansion, let alone in this era, but Li Zhang They don't care about the murderous mansion, after all, no matter how fierce it is, it can't be Yizhuang, and the hall behind him is full of dead people.
"How about it, if you think it's appropriate, I'll ask the owner of the shop to meet tomorrow, and by the way, let's go and see the shop, the other party is in a hurry to rent it out, and it is estimated that the price can be pressed 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 where the divine bird was located tomorrow, even if he couldn't get in, he could take a turn outside, otherwise he would not give up.
"Boy, don't miss this opportunity, although it is a murderous house, the price is already very cheap, and Tokyo City is so big, there are not a few brave people, maybe it will be snatched away by others one day later." Seeing Li Zhang's hesitation, Lu Wu immediately opened his mouth again and persuaded him, he knew the location of the shops, and the location was not bad, if it was placed in the past, he would not want to take it down if he didn't have thirty or forty times a year.
"Okay, tomorrow is tomorrow!" Li Zhang finally gritted his teeth at this time and said, anyway, the divine bird will not run when it falls on the mountain, and it will be said a day later, and if he wins this shop, he can do business in Kaifeng City, the flow of people in Kaifeng City is much stronger than that of the small Bianhe Town, if he can make a name for himself in Kaifeng City, then there is no need to worry about money.
"I'm waiting for your words, I'll go and make a deal with the owner of the shop now, and I'll come to you tomorrow to go into the city together!" When Lu Wu saw Li Zhang's promise, he also slapped his thigh at the moment.
After Lu Wu finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but when he left, he suddenly turned back, and then came to the locked wild dog, the wild dog didn't like him, but he didn't dare to provoke him, so he could only shrink in the firewood and not come out.
"This kid is quite honest, I heard from the raccoon dog that he is very good at eating, if you can't afford it, let me take it to prison, there is no shortage of him in the cell!" Lu Wu looked at the wild dogs that were huddled in a ball and said coldly, he still did not give up his vigilance against the wild dogs, and every time he came over, he had to beat the other party a few words.
"Uncle Wu, the wild dog is actually quite good, and he has gotten along with us very well during this time, if you don't untie him, I'm sure he won't hurt anyone!" Li Zhang also came over to intercede for the wild dog at this time, and he now gave up the name Li Ye, and the wild dog himself was very satisfied with the name.
Li Zhang's words are also true, although the wild dog is a little unsuitable for getting along with people, but it is not as ferocious as the legendary ghost beggar, except for the ugly lady who has a lot of opinions about his large meal, other people do not hate him, but whenever he eats, they will gather in a circle to watch him perform, and now it has become a fixed program after their meal.
"No, I don't know my face, I don't know my heart, it's impossible to find out his details in just a few days, so let's lock it up for a while!" Lu Wu refused Li Zhang's request and said that he was responsible for the safety of Li Zhang's brothers and sisters, otherwise he would not be able to explain to that person or himself.
Seeing that Lu Wu disagreed, Li Zhang was also a little helpless, in fact, he had been carefully observing the wild dog during this time, and found that although the other party was indifferent and withdrawn, he was not a vicious person, and the other party was only eleven years old, but he was an adult's soul, and the other party in the city was definitely not his opponent, so he believed that he should not be mistaken.
That night, Li Zhang lay on the bed but couldn't sleep, sometimes thinking about going to see the shop tomorrow, and sometimes thinking about the divine bird, but when it was almost the third watch, he was about to fall asleep in a daze, but at this moment, suddenly only heard a "pop" sound from the window, Li Zhang didn't care, but then there was a "pop", as if someone was smashing something on the window, which made Li Zhang wake up all of a sudden.
