Chapter 24 The Beggar Boy

"Ao~" In the open space between several garbage dumps, a dirty beggar with black mud was biting with more than a dozen wild dogs. His extremely long arms were extremely powerful. He grabbed a wild dog and twisted his neck directly. Then he waved his arm and several wild dogs around him flew out. One of them happened to fall in front of Li Zhang, which scared him again.

Although wild dogs have the advantage in number, and these dirty beggars seem to have been injured, and their bodies are covered with blood, he is extremely brave. In the blink of an eye, several wild dogs were twisted off their necks by him. One of them bit his calves, but he grabbed his hind legs and roared them tore them into two pieces, and blood and internal organs flew around.

Seeing the beggar so brave, the remaining wild dogs were so scared that they whined and fled with their tails. However, the beggar flew over to a backward wild dog, and suddenly opened his mouth and bit the dog's neck like a wild dog. As a result, the wild dog wailed and struggled violently, while the beggar bit the wild dog's neck tightly, sucking the fishy blood in big mouths, looking no different from a wild beast.

Finally, the wild dog finally stopped moving slowly, and the beggar seemed to have used all his strength at this time. He turned over and lay motionless on the ground, only his shriveled chest was fluctuating violently, and he was breathing heavily.

"It's common for dogs to bite people, but it's the first time I've seen people bite dogs!" Lu Wu was not scared by the scene in front of him at this time. Instead, he walked to the beggar with a smile on his face, stepping on the blood and internal organs of a wild dog and walking to the beggar.

Li Zhang was also shocked by the bloody scene just now, but seeing Lu Wu so calm made him relieved. He followed Lu Wu to the beggar and then looked at the other party carefully. The beggar seemed to be exhausted and had no energy to pay attention to them at all.

It was not until this time that Li Zhang discovered that this beggar who fought against the group of dogs was actually a child. His limbs were very long and looked taller than ordinary children. Especially his big feet were very conspicuous and his whole body was dirty. The exposed skin was covered with black mud and blood, and his hair covered most of his face like weeds, but half of his eyes were full of indomitableness and stubbornness.

In addition, there was a palm-long wound on the other party's right leg. It was the knife wound that was cut by Lu Wu before. Although it was wrapped in a rag, it was still bleeding outwards. It was probably the smell of blood on his body, which attracted the wild dogs to siege him. After all, dogs and wolves were close relatives, and dogs in the wild will regain some wolf nature after a long time.

"Boy, don't pretend to be dead. Since you dare to steal things, don't blame me for arresting you to the prison!" Lu Wu then pulled the dirty boy and said, "I'm not lazy to catch such beggars in the yamen." However, he saw the boy's cruelty just now. Although he was not afraid, Li Zhang's brother and sister were not good, so he decided not to let the other party go.

After hearing Lu Wu's words, the young beggar finally turned his eyes, then stared at him and Li Zhang for a while before saying in a nasty voice: "Is there any food in the prison?"

The beggar boy only said five words, but he still broke a little in the middle, as if he was speechless. However, Lu Wu was stunned when he heard this. He caught countless prisoners. It was the first time he met him. He asked if he was in charge of food in the cell? This made him laugh and said, "It's not very good to manage food in the prison..."

"Okay! I'll go back!" Before Lu Wu finished speaking, the beggar boy struggled with his eyes glowing and wanted to stand up. It seemed that as long as he had food, he would crawl, even if there was no freedom there.

However, this beggar boy struggled for a long time, but not only did not get up, but suddenly his whole body softened and fainted. This is not surprising. He was cut by Lu Wu before and lost a lot of blood. Judging from the estimated blood loss of Li Zhang on the road, ordinary people could no longer stand it and even had life-threatening danger. However, the boy not only ran back, but also fought with a group of wild dogs. Being able to hold on until now shows that his physique is different from ordinary people.

"Kid, stop pretending, get up quickly!" Lu Wu didn't believe that the beggar boy really fainted, but instead kicked him again. He had seen too much of the ugliness of human nature, and at this time he also suspected that the boy was pretending to be impatient.

However, the beggar boy on the ground did not react. Li Zhang squatted down and flipped his eyelids to check it. Then he said to Lu Wu: "Uncle Wu, he is really in a coma. It is probably because of excessive blood loss and the loss of strength. If you let it go, you might die here."

"Just die if you die. No one cares about a beggar who dies, and you won't worry about losing things again in the future." Lu Wu said indifferently. Kaifeng Prefecture is so big that countless people die silently every day, even if he is the leader of the class, he can't count it.

At this moment, Li Zhang touched his chin and looked at the unconscious beggar boy on the ground. After a moment, he suddenly stood up and said to Lu Wu: "Uncle Wu, I want to take him back!"

"Take it back?" Lu Wu was stunned immediately, and his eyes looked at Li Zhang were full of confusion.

"I think this boy is not bad in nature. He only stole food when he went to the charity farm the previous few times. Even if he fell into my trap the day before yesterday, he just broke free from stealing some food and did not hurt Li'er and me. From this point of view, he still has a basic view of good and evil in his heart." Li Zhang explained that although this boy is a beggar, he is extremely powerful and as fast as the wind. If he really wants to hurt Li Zhang's brother and sister, he may not be able to stop him at all.

"So what? The thief is a thief. He can steal food today, and he may steal gold and silver tomorrow, or even rob and kill people. Look at the criminals in the prison, which one of them has made a mistake since he was a child?" Lu Wu still disagreed because he felt that it would be unsafe to keep this beggar by Li Zhang's side.

"When we had no food to eat, we used to do thieves. The feeling of being hungry was not good, and I think he was very useful to us!" Li Zhang smiled again.

"It's useful? What's the use of a beggar who is coming?" Lu Wu was stunned again when he heard Li Zhang's last words.

"Uncle Wu, what our children lacked the most in the past was food. Now that we have made 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 me here, who dares to bully you?" Lu Wu said furiously again when he heard Li Zhang's words.

"Uncle Wu, your reputation can certainly intimidate many people, but you can't follow us for twelve hours a day. And you are too busy, and it's normal not to see anyone for a few days. In addition, we are a group of ungrown children, and occasionally encounter some annoying things. For example, when Douzi and the others were selling braised pork yesterday, they encountered two people who ate free food, and they snatched the braised pork and ran away. Douzi and the others couldn't catch up, so they could only admit that they were unlucky."

Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh at the end. Lu Wu's deterrence can only be reflected in big aspects, but in some small matters, many people will try their best to take advantage of their children, and their children seem very powerless at this point.

Lu Wu is also proficient in human affairs accidents, and he also showed a silent expression when he heard Li Zhang's words. Indeed, he could not protect Li Zhang's brother and sister at all times, especially as Li Zhang grew older and became more independent, and now he knows how to recruit useful subordinates, which makes him both relieved and a little disappointed.

"Okay, this kid is very powerful and has a very agile movement. He is a good material for being a thug. However, you have to be aware of such beggar-born people. After going back, you must tie them up with a rope first to avoid hurting people when you wake up!" Lu Wu thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"Uncle Wu, don't worry, I understand these!" Li Zhang nodded excitedly when he saw Lu Wu agreeing. After saying that, he bent down and pulled the beggar boy up, but because he was weak and weak, he couldn't pull it at all. In the end, Lu Wu took action himself, carried the other party on his shoulders, and then returned to the Yizhuang with Li Zhang.

It was getting late at this time. Douzi and Huozi had pushed the cart to set up the stalls before, but Chou Niang and Li Er and several other girls were at home. Now there was a division of labor in the stalls. Douzi and the others were responsible for buying them, and Chou Niang and the others were responsible for handling the water. After cleaning, they were sent to the dock to cook and sell them.

"Brother, why are you back? Are you injured?" As soon as Li Zhang and Lu Wu entered the yard, Li Er immediately ran up and asked. She woke up when Li Zhang went out, and she was worried about Li Zhang. She was not relieved until now when she saw him coming back.

"With me here, who can hurt your elder brother?" Lu Wu couldn't help laughing when he heard Li'er's words, then pointed to the beggar on his shoulder and said, "Look, I have been caught by me. You don't have to worry about throwing things away again in the future!"

"Uncle Wu is so amazing!" Li'er noticed that Lu Wu was carrying someone on his shoulders, and he clapped his hands and shouted. Chou Niang and others all surrounded him and looked at the thief who stole their cakes every day.

"It turned out to be a little beggar, it seems that it is not as big as me." The ugly lady looked at the other party for a long time and finally said disappointed. She had thought that the other party was a thief with great powers, just like the legend on the streets, those thieves who flirted 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 such a thief, how could she come to the Yizhuang to steal cakes?

Li Zhang comforted Li'er at this time, and then asked Lu Wu to put the beggar boy in the yard and he himself helped him with the wound. However, when he just fed water to clean the other party's wound, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise because he found that the boy's body was abnormal.
