Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

When the group arrived at Cheng Mo's doorstep, Cheng Lingqu was gently coaxed into the room by Cheng Mo to rest. The orcs around who had lost their children looked at Cheng Lingqu and thought of their own children. They didn't know how their children were doing now.

Banmu stood quietly behind Cheng Mo. His powerful aura made the orcs dare not make any more noises. They stood obediently behind Chief Wusuo, who frowned and explained with a sad face: "This is a complete misunderstanding, Lord City Lord! We are definitely not here to cause trouble. Those people just said such things impulsively because they were too sad!"

Cheng Mo gently waved his hand and responded: "I can understand your feelings, but I hope that similar situations will not happen again in the future. Such remarks are undoubtedly trying to sow discord between our two forces!"

Hearing this, Chief Wusuo's expression became even more bitter. He sighed and said with a sad face, "We are helpless too! There are only 21 children in our entire tribe, 16 of whom are studying in the City of Enlightenment, and we lost five of them all at once! The parents of those children are almost going crazy! Not to mention other tribes, they have even fewer children than us! That's why they talk nonsense like this."

"Huh?" Cheng Mo looked up in shock, looked at Chief Wusuo in disbelief and asked, "How could there be so many?! Didn't you say there were only two?"

Chief Wusuo shook his head painfully and replied in a heavy tone, "No, the situation is far more serious than we imagined. Some children were found as soon as they disappeared because they were taken care of by their parents; but some children were not accompanied by their parents and were not discovered until three days after they disappeared. Our tribe has contacted the surrounding tribes, and after careful statistics and verification, the total number of missing children has reached 43!"

"Then when did these children start to disappear?" Cheng Mo's expression became very serious, and he stared at Chief Wusuo closely.

Chief Wu Suo thought for a moment and then said, "About half a reincarnation month ago, at first only some small tribes around our tribe disappeared. At that time, everyone thought that they might have been attacked by wild beasts, which led to the destruction of the entire tribe. However, as more and more small tribes disappeared, some orcs who had lost their homes chose to join our tribe to seek shelter. Only then did we learn that these tribes were not only attacked, but more importantly, their children were also missing. At first, we always thought that all this was done by wild beasts, but as the number of missing children continued to increase, we gradually realized that something was wrong. Today, we specially invited an experienced old orc to help investigate. After reading it, he told us that it was not done by wild beasts, but perhaps it was a crime committed by orcs with wings. So, we immediately thought of the Winged Tribe, but it was not easy to find them. Therefore, we decided to come to the City of Enlightenment, because it is said that there are winged orcs living here, and we hope to get some clues or help from them."

"In fact, we went to your tribe's territory today to check the situation." Cheng Mo looked at Chief Wusuo and said slowly and calmly, "When we arrived, we happened to run into you guys tracking down clues, so we followed you and observed together. Afterwards, I discussed with Banmu and believed that this matter was most likely done by those winged orcs. Therefore, we rushed to the Winged Tribe to question them as soon as possible."

Chief Uso followed closely with great expectation, asking anxiously, "So, what's the result?"

Cheng Mo shook his head slightly and continued, "Since it is the rainy season recently, the Winged Tribe has almost no time to take care of other things, so no one went to your tribe to do this. In addition, I also asked them if the existing stray orcs in the tribe are still alive, but their tribal chief priest told me that there are basically no stray orcs outside, so it can be confirmed that this matter was definitely not done by them."

Chief Wusuo's face was filled with disappointment. He lowered his head heavily. He nodded slightly, smiled bitterly, and muttered to himself: "I see... I'm so sorry that something like this happened today... I caused you a lot of trouble..."

Seeing the exhausted face of Chief Wusuo, Cheng Mo could not help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. He slowly swept his eyes over the orcs who were comforting each other in the yard. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Chief Wusuo, the loss of the child is a serious matter. We in Qiming City have always been very concerned about any problems related to cubs. Do you need any help from us?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Wusuo raised his head in astonishment, stared at Cheng Mo, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Are you...really willing to help us? But this matter has nothing to do with you! What's more..."

However, Cheng Mo interrupted Chief Wusuo without hesitation. He cast his eyes towards the group of orcs in the yard and said firmly, "This incident involves a wide range of people. If the murderer cannot be found as soon as possible, the safety of the children cannot be guaranteed. I have children myself. How can I feel at ease if I let such a child-stealing villain go unpunished? Only by finding the real murderer as soon as possible can the children return to their families as soon as possible, and their parents can put down the heavy stone in their hearts and feel a little relieved."

“This…” Chief Wusuo’s lips moved for a while, but he said nothing in the end. He stood up and bowed deeply to Cheng Mo, then he straightened up and said in a grateful tone: “Thank you!”

After seeing off Chief Wusuo, Cheng Mo and his family sat around the dining table and started to eat dinner. Cheng Lingqu sat on a stool, looking a little uneasy. While eating, he looked up at Banmu from time to time, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak easily.

Finally, Cheng Lingqu seemed to have made up his mind, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and said uneasily: "Dad... I have a question for you."

Cheng Mo turned his head and looked at him, hummed, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Just tell me what's going on."

Cheng Lingqu hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at Banmu beside him, then turned back to look at Cheng Mo and said softly: "Dad, those with wings are not necessarily Winged Orcs..." After that, his eyes fell on Banmu again.

Cheng Mo was a little confused at first, but when he followed Cheng Lingqu's line of sight and saw Ban Mu, he suddenly understood. He was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ban Mu, his eyes full of surprise and confusion. Ban Mu was confused by the actions of the father and son. He looked at the two with a blank expression on his face, completely unaware of what was going on.

At this time, Cheng Mo suddenly shouted: "Yes! Those with wings are not necessarily Winged Orcs! They could also be Winged Tiger Orcs!"
