Chapter 28: Hang out with me
The sound of "snap~snap~" came from the window, as if someone was throwing something on the window, which made Li Zhang immediately alert. He got up quietly and then lay down at the crack of the door and looked out. But today the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was pitch black outside, so there was nothing to see.
Without understanding the situation, Li Zhang did not dare to open the door easily, but instinctively he felt something was wrong. He reached out to pick up the stick at the head of the bed. The stick was always placed in the room and was placed at the head of the bed when he was sleeping, because Li Zhang felt that the Yizhuang was too unsafe and there was no one in a few miles. If someone really broke in, it would be useless no matter how much he called for help.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a heavy sound came from outside, just like the sound of someone jumping down from the wall and falling to the ground. Then another sound was heard, and then a tiny sound of footsteps was heard, which made Li Zhang even more nervous. His hands holding the wooden stick were sweating, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Huh~ yum!" But at this moment, two strange sounds suddenly came from outside, followed by two screams almost indiscriminately, followed by two "thump" sounds, and then there was no sound in the yard, which made Li Zhang stunned, wondering what was happening outside?
"Come out, the person has... been knocked unconscious by me!" At this moment, the unique voice of the wild dog came from the yard, which made Li Zhang finally remember that in addition to himself and Li'er, there was also the helper of the wild dog, but he was locked. How could he knock the person who broke in?
With suspicion in his heart, Li Zhang quietly opened the door, but it turned out to be dark and he could not see anything at all. At this time, the wild dog said again: "Two lying beside the western wall."
Although the wild dog pointed out the location, Li Zhang's eyes were dark and had no choice but to go back to the room and light the oil lamp, then go out to the west wall. Then he found two men in black lying on the ground, one of them was covered in blood, and the other had a big bag on his forehead. Both of them were in a coma. In addition, Li Zhang also saw a brick stained with blood nearby. It was estimated that the bleeding was hit by the brick.
"What did you do?" Li Zhang also looked at the wild dog with surprise and asked. Although the wild dog has been getting along well with them during this period, he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to help him.
"No!" The wild dog replied clearly in a dissatisfied tone. He was the only one in the yard. Who else could he be if he wasn't? Even Li Zhang could imagine his eyes rolling in the darkness.
"Haha~, thanks to you this time, otherwise our brother and sister would be in danger!" Li Zhang naturally heard the wild dog's dissatisfaction, and immediately laughed. After saying that, he hurriedly found a rope, tied the two men in black tightly, and then searched the bodies of the two, but found two sharp knives from their waists, which made Li Zhang feel scared again.
In order to prevent it, Li Zhang struggled to drag the two of them to the wild dog, so that if there was any accident, the wild dog could knock them out again. However, after doing this, he was very tired. He sat next to the wild dog and gasped for a few breaths. Then he thanked again: "Thank you so much this time. I saved your life before. This time you saved me. We will be cleared up!"
"If you die, I... have no place to eat!" The wild dog said lightly again.
"Haha, your salary is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford. How about we make a deal?" Li Zhang laughed when he heard this. Although the wild dog's tone was plain, he felt that the other party had begun to accept his friend in his heart. It seemed that his efforts during this period were not in vain.
"What deal?" Wild Dog asked again, his eyes flashed with green light in the darkness, like a wolf. Li Zhang had asked him before, but the Wild Dog couldn't tell the reason. He only knew that he had grown up in the darkness and could naturally see things clearly. Li Zhang could only use mutation to explain this.
"I will cover your food, clothing and expenses in the future. You can follow me to protect the safety of us, how about it?" Li Zhang finally put forward his plans.
"Okay!" The wild dog replied almost without hesitation. After this period of time of getting along, he had already figured out the details of Li Zhang and the others. Except for Lu Wu's unfriendly attitude to him, Li Zhang and the others did not want to hurt him. Instead, they let him eat and drink. Even if he saw his appetite, he did not dislike him at all. And he grew up so old, except for one person, Li Zhang and the others were the first person to treat him so well.
"That's all, come on, let's slap the high-high as a slap!" Seeing the wild dog agree, Li Zhang also happily stretched out his palm. However, the wild dog obviously didn't know what slap the high-high is. When he saw Li Zhang reaching out, he was stunned for a moment, and then learned to extend his hand. Then Li Zhang took the initiative to slap the other party's palm. It was not until this time that the wild dog seemed to have obvious intention of slap the high-high as a slap.
"By the way, how did you find these two thieves?" Li Zhang asked again at this time. The wild dog stuttered and told him about the two thieves. It was not until this time that Li Zhang realized that the wild dog not only had eyes that could see things in the dark, but also had extremely sensitive hearing. As soon as the two thieves approached the yard, he woke up.
Originally, the wild dog wanted to wake Li Zhang up, so he threw it on Li Zhang's window with a small wooden stick. But before Li Zhang could go out, the two thieves jumped into the wall. In desperation, the wild dog had to find two bricks as hidden weapons. He was strong and accurate, one hit the other in the forehead and the other hit the other in the nose, so it was the result that Li Zhang saw just now.
After hearing this, Li Zhang secretly thanked his decision to bring the wild dog back. He just found two sharp knives from the two thieves. It is very likely that the other party was trying to kill and rob money. After all, their braised pork business was very prosperous during this period, and it was normal to attract other people's attention. This also made him more determined to move. There was no people around the charity village. I could avoid it once today, but I might not be able to avoid the next time. It would be safer to find a normal residence.
Such a big thing happened at home, and Li Zhang had no intention of sleep, so he sat in the yard to chat with the wild dogs. Of course, most of them were the wild dogs. When the sky in the east was slightly lit, he heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside. Li Zhang hurried to open the door. Sure enough, he saw Lu Wu coming. Today he was going to take Li Zhang to Kaifeng City to see the yard he wanted to rent, so he came so early.
"What's going on?" As soon as Lu Wu came in, he saw two men in black lying in the yard. He couldn't help but ask Li Zhang in surprise.
"Last night, these two people came over the wall, but fortunately they were found knocking them out of brick by a wild dog. I also found two sharp knives from them. If it weren't for the wild dog, I would be in danger last night." Li Zhang explained.
When Lu Wu heard this, his face turned pale. Then he realized that he had made a big mistake. Before, Li Zhang and the others wanted nothing, and he didn't need to deliberately protect him. But now that Li Zhang and the others have made money, it will naturally attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives. Fortunately, nothing happened yesterday, otherwise he would never forgive himself for his whole life.
After fear, Lu Wu was also angry. He immediately slammed the two thieves with cold water, and then punched and kicked. He was a squad leader, and the methods in the prison were even more so. He knew where to hit the most, but he was not seriously injured. So when he punched, the two thieves cried and called their parents. In the end, Lu Wu asked him without asking questions. One of them vomited out all their plans. As for the other, it was not tough, but was smashed into memory by a wild dog. He didn't remember anything when he woke up, and he didn't even know his accomplices.
After hearing this, Li Zhang realized that these two thieves were still routine offenders. They had committed crimes in several counties around him. They had just wandered to Bianhe Town some time ago. They were originally scrambling to live on the dock, but later they discovered that Li Zhang and his children had made a lot of money and lived in a charity house in the wilderness. So the two of them had a little bit of money and touched them at night.
However, these two thieves only admitted that they wanted to steal money, but refused to admit that they were ready to kill people. Even if Li Zhang threw two knives in front of them, the two of them would bite to death and refused to admit that they knew that stealing money might only be locked up for a few years, but if they admitted that they were ready to kill people, they would have to peel off their skin even if they didn't die, and they might even be exiled. Then they would never think of turning over for the rest of their lives.
"Okay, whether they admit it or not, it is a serious crime to carry a sharp weapon with them and break into a private house. I will send them to the yamen first. As long as I enter the yamen, hehe~" When Lu Wu said the last, he couldn't help but show a cruel sneer on his face. When he arrived at the yamen, he couldn't think of coming out again.
After Lu Wu said that, he was about to leave with the two of them, but at this time Li Zhang suddenly spoke: "Uncle Wu, thanks to the wild dog knocking these two thieves unconscious this time, it was considered to have saved our brother and sister's lives. So can you open up his shackles? And he also promised to live with us, I will provide him with food and clothing, and he will protect our safety."
Hearing Li Zhang's request, Lu Wu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of his saving you and Li'er, I can let him go."
After Lu Wu said that, he took out the key from his arms and opened the wild dog's shackles, but he still warned again: "You kid and follow my nephew. If there is any difference between him and Li'er, even if you run to the ends of the world, I can still catch you back!"
After getting rid of the heavy shackles on his feet, the wild dog was only happy and didn't care about Lu Wu's threat at all. At this time, Li Zhang also found a clothes for the wild dog, then boiled water to let him take a shower, and waited to accompany him to Kaifeng City with him. Speaking of which, he had traveled for so long, although he could see the walls of Kaifeng City in the distance when standing in Bianhe Town, he had never entered the city. Thinking of the prosperous ancient city in the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the later generations, Li Zhang couldn't help but be curious about Kaifeng City.
