"Brother, the rice is ready. Today I have the pancakes you like to eat." Early in the morning, Li Zhang had just come down from the upper floor when he saw Xiuxiu saying to him while serving everyone rice, and his little face was filled with a happy smile.

"It's too troublesome to make pancakes in the morning. Just buy some pancakes and make some porridge in the future." Li Zhang said with a smile when he saw Xiuxiu.

In the past, when he was in a charity farm, he had no requirements as long as he could fill his stomach. But now he has a comfortable life and has higher requirements for food. So he has been cooking for breakfast during this period. The ugly girl and the others have learned it, but they probably don’t have much talent in this area, and the dishes they cook have been unsatisfactory. Until Xiuxiu came, she showed superman’s cooking talent. No matter what dishes Li Zhang cooked, she would just read it once, so in just a few days, she replaced Li Zhang as the chef at home.

"No trouble, brother, the frying pan you make is really useful. It will take a while for a while to fry a cake. It won't take much time to move quickly, and the cooked cakes you buy outside always cost money." Xiuxiu also quickly served the rice and smiled while placing chopsticks.

At this time, Douzi and others also went downstairs. When they saw the prepared breakfast, they shouted and rushed up to eat. But Li Zhang rushed to wash up. He had already set rules for his family that he would not want to eat without brushing his teeth or washing his face in the morning.

In addition to pancakes, there are also several large pots of cold wild vegetables for breakfast. Li Zhang likes to eat pancakes and vegetables, which are delicious and nutritious. There is also rice porridge for food. Many people think that rice is a specialty in the south, but in fact there is rice in the north. For example, Yuanwu County next to Kaifeng City is famous for its abundant rice production. During the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Liang assassinated Qin Shihuang with strong men in Bolangsha. In fact, it was in Yuanwu County. Later, Yuanwu County was renamed Yuanyang County, which is the famous Yuanyang rice production area in later generations.

Li Zhang and his group of children were growing up, and their appetite was very large. Li Zhang could have five or six pancakes with a basin in one breath, and then add two large bowls of rice porridge to eat. In the past, due to malnutrition, their children were thin and small. Now that their nutrition has kept up, they are all starting to grow up.

Of course, no matter how much Li Zhang and the others can eat it, they cannot compare with wild dogs. Half a bowl of pancakes were in his stomach. When Xiuxiu first came a few days ago, she was shocked by the wild dog's appetite. Now she is no longer surprised. Moreover, with wild dogs there, she is not afraid of leftovers at home.

After breakfast, Li Zhang and the others also opened their business. Douzi brought people to greet customers in the store, Huozi brought people to cook braised meat behind, and Chou Niang took people to clean various ingredients. Now braised meat is not only pigs, but also better pork, mutton, etc. But don’t think about beef. Killing beef in the Song Dynasty is a death sentence like killing people. Of course, many people eat beef in private, and some shops even sell it behind their backs, but Li Zhang didn’t want to cause trouble for this little profit.

Wild dogs are relatively free at home, mainly carrying water. However, with his strength and speed, several water tanks at home are full in a short while. After picking, he starts practicing martial arts. Occasionally, he has some strength at home, so he has to take care of them all.

The business in the store is as busy as usual, but now Douzi and Huozi have grown up, so he doesn't have to worry too much, so he sits behind the counter and plans to teach something tonight. During this period, Douzi and others are studying at night every day, usually five new words a day, and mathematics, which are things that can be used normally.

In addition, Li Zhang was still planning to save some money and hire a gentleman to come to his home to teach him these people. Because he had figured it out that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Song Dynasty, he had to have a certain amount of official power, so he wanted to see if there were any scholars among his children. If so, he would send the other party to the officialdom even if he tried his best.

It was a very ordinary morning, everything seemed busy and calm, but at this moment, I suddenly heard a heart-wrenching sound of a woman crying from the alley in the backyard, which made Li Zhang jump up suddenly, and the other yards in the yard were also startled.

"You look at the store, I'll go see what happened!" Li Zhang immediately gave Douzi and Huozi instructions, and then quickly walked towards the back door, because the woman in the alley was still crying, and the sound seemed a little familiar, so I don't know who it was?

Li Zhang pushed open the back door and walked out, and the wild dog followed immediately. Chou Niang and Xiuxiu all stretched their heads out of the door and looked out, but they saw a woman in the alley sitting there with her hair spreading her hair and crying loudly.

"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family? Why are you crying here?" Li Zhang walked closer and realized that the person who cried was actually Zhou's honest sister-in-law of the Zhou family, Cai Niang's mother's mother. He couldn't help but step forward in surprise and asked, while reaching out to help the other party up.

"Cai Niang...Cai Niang was taken away!" When the Zhou family saw Li Zhang, the acquaintance, he seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He grabbed Li Zhang's arm and shouted.

"What? Who captured it? In which direction did the thief escape?" Li Zhang also asked hurriedly when he heard this. Cai Niang was not only Li'er's playmate, but also their friend. In particular, Huozi even talked about kidnapping Cai Niang home as his wife every day.

"Then... there!" The sister-in-law of the Zhou family said with distorted face pointing forward. When Li Zhang turned his head and looked, he found that it was the sewer at the entrance of the alley. It was originally sealed with stone slabs, and a small hole was opened on it to pour dirty water in, but now the stone slabs have been moved away.

"Ghost Beggar!" Li Zhang immediately understood what was going on when he saw the sewer. After all, during this period, rumors of ghost beggars robbing women and children were spread throughout Tokyo.

"Swoosh~" Just as Li Zhang finished speaking, a figure rushed out next to him and crawled into the sewer. It was the wild dog that came out with Li Zhang just now.

Seeing the wild dog rushing into the sewer alone, Li Zhang was also a little worried. He rushed to the sewer entrance immediately, but found that it was pitch black below and could not see anything clearly. He did not have the ability to see the wild dog at night, so he couldn't help even if he jumped down.

At this time, the crying and howling of Zhou's sister-in-law also attracted the attention of the neighbors around, especially Zhou Laoshi, who was greeting customers in the store, rushed over. When he learned that his baby daughter was captured by the ghost beggar, he fainted after turning his eyes. The people around him were also in a hurry to save Zhou Laoshi, but they were not allowed to do so. Li Zhang didn't care about the wild dog and could only run back to rescue Zhou Laoshi.

Zhou Laoshi was just angry and fainted, and was soon rescued. However, when he woke up, he immediately rushed into the sewer, but was pulled tightly by the people around him. Although the Zhou family's sister-in-law was so angry that she couldn't hold back, she also came forward to hug Zhou Laoshi and refused to let him go, because they all knew that the sewer was complicated and it was not easy to get out when in. Moreover, those ghost begs were cruel and ruthless, even if they caught up, they might die at the hands of the other party. She had lost her daughter and did not want to lose her husband again.

Zhou Laoshi ignored his wife and the persuasion of the people around him, and still tried his best to drill into the waterway. A man who was usually so honest and honest, now he looked like an evil ghost. He had only had a daughter like Cai Niang in his life, but now he had no more. Thinking of those legends about Wuyou Cave and the Ghost Beggar, Cai Niang might be worse than death when she fell into their hands, which made his heart bleeding.

However, just when the alley was in chaos, a strange sound suddenly came from the sewer. Then the wild dog crawled out of the sewer covered in mud, holding a little girl in his hand, which was Cai Niang who was already unconscious.

"It's okay!" The wild dog hugged Cai Niang and came to Zhou Laoshi and his wife, and then handed Cai Niang to them. At this time, Li Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that Cai Niang was just unconscious and was not in danger of his life. Then he felt relieved.

"Thank you... Thank you, brother, you really saved our whole family's life!" Zhou Laoshi and his wife thought they were dreaming at first, but they didn't react until they received their daughter. When Zhou's sister-in-law hugged her daughter and cried bitterly, Zhou Laoshi jumped up and grabbed the wild dog's hand and kept thanking her.

"Young man is so amazing. I have never heard of anyone captured by the ghost beggar who can be saved!" The people around him also reacted at this time, and they praised the wild dog in surprise. However, the wild dog was obviously not used to other people's gratitude, and at this time they seemed very uncomfortable.

"Uncle Zhou, Cai Niang is fine, but she must have been frightened. You should find a doctor to prescribe medicine for calming the spirit!" Li Zhang advised at this time, and he also found that although the wild dog was covered with mud, it seemed that he had done it on purpose. Moreover, there seemed to be some dark red stains on the wild dog's face, which looked more like blood than mud.

Zhou Laoshi felt it was reasonable when he heard Li Zhang's words. He hurriedly carried Cai Niang back to see the doctor. Li Zhang also called the neighbors around him to lift the stone slabs in the sewer and covered them again, and asked someone to find a few stones to press them on. Of course, this was just a temporary solution. Li Zhang was going to wait and find a blacksmith and seal the stone slabs with iron bars, so as not to get out of here in the future.

After finishing the above, Li Zhang returned home with the wild dog amid the praises of his neighbors. The ugly nun and the others also saw the wild dogs saving Cai Niang. They were all chattering around. Li Er kept thanking Cai Niang for the wild dog, but the wild dog became even more uncomfortable. It would be better to let the ugly nun and the others disperse themselves under Li Zhang's drive.

"Are you injured?" Li Zhang asked the wild dog after the people around him dispersed.

"No!" The wild dog replied very simply. When he said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said with a cold look on his face, "I killed two of them just now, and one of them ran away injured."
