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

"Wow, wow, wow... Father Xiong, please stop hitting me. I jumped because someone told me to!" Along with the crying, in another dark corner, an educational play of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork was also being performed.

Then, one after another, each cub cried and said the same words - someone took him away or tempted him to jump down in various ways, etc. This happened frequently, which made the orc parents begin to feel suspicious and realized that something was wrong.

So, they came to Cheng Mo together, holding the cubs with tear-stained faces, and said anxiously: "Lord City Lord! My child said that an orc took him away from home and got lost!"

"Yes, yes! My little cub also said that he jumped because someone told him to!" Another orc held his cub tightly by the scruff of the neck and echoed loudly. At this moment, the cub that was picked up was struggling and crying, "Father! Father! Put me down!" However, the father of the cub was not moved at all. He frowned and shouted sternly, "Stop making noise!" Then, he turned to look at Cheng Mo and continued, "Lord City Lord! We must catch this bad guy! He actually lied to the cub! People like this should be caught and their legs broken!"

"Yes! Yes!" The other orcs nodded in agreement.

Cheng Mo also noticed the abnormality. He looked at the struggling cubs with a gentle and concerned look and asked softly, "Good children, can you recall what the orc looked like?"

The cubs gradually stopped twisting, and one of them replied shyly: "Hello, Lord City Lord... I am really sorry to have caused you so much trouble... I still remember that orc! He was very tall! His face was covered with a thick beard, so thick that it even covered the animal patterns on his face!"

However, the other little cub with tearful eyes immediately objected: "No, no! The orc who tricked me into jumping into the water has no beard at all! His hair is very long, and he is as thin as a bamboo pole!"

"That's not the case!" At this time, another little cub loudly retorted: "The person who took me away was obviously a female! He also affectionately called me 'good baby' and said he would take me to find a female father!"

"Ah!? You are all wrong, right?"

"You are wrong!"

"You're all wrong!" For a moment, the cubs started arguing at once, and the scene became very chaotic. Cheng Mo tried to speak several times but no one paid any attention to him.

The cubs chirped and argued back and forth, not noticing that the expressions on their parents' faces were becoming more and more gloomy and ugly. Finally, these naughty cubs were severely beaten again and taken back to the corner for a severe education.

Cheng Mo turned around, looked at Duoduo beside him, and asked, "What do you think is going on?"

"Hmm?" Duoduo, who was in a daze, was confused by Cheng Mo's question. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering, "Could it be a gang crime?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, indicating that he did not agree with this view. Then, he continued to ask Hen Yi, who was standing on the other side: "Where do you think these people come from?"

Before Hen Yi could answer, Xiong Wu, who was standing beside him, interrupted him impatiently: "They must have taken advantage of the heavy rain to break in from outside the city!"

Hen Yi reached out his hand helplessly, gently stroked Xiongwu's head, and then explained: "This is unlikely, have you forgotten? We have been holding the city gate until the rain got heavier and water began to accumulate in the city, so we had to retreat from the city gate. During this period, it was impossible for anyone to enter the city. Even if someone really came in, it could only be after we retreated. However, those cubs were lured away before the water level in the city rose. So, from a time point of view, there is a contradiction between the two."

"Ah? You mean those orcs were originally in our city? How is that possible? If they were orcs in our city, those cubs should know these orcs! After all, we all live in the same place. But if they were just orcs who stayed in the city temporarily from the beginning, then these cubs shouldn't feel so unfamiliar with them, right? Who are those people?" Xiongwu frowned and muttered to himself in confusion.

Cheng Mo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and instructed Hen Yi: "Hen Yi, next you lead some people to investigate and see how many strange orcs there are outside. And Xiongtai, take the people to stay here and try to reduce other people's unnecessary outings."

"Yes!" Hen Yi and Xiong Tai responded in unison. Xiong Wu looked at Cheng Mo expectantly, as if waiting for his further instructions.

Cheng Mo avoided Xiongwu's gaze, coughed lightly and said, "Xiongwu...you are responsible for protecting those cubs and old orcs. If you find any abnormal situation, you must report to me immediately."

Hearing this, Xiongwu's expression became serious. He nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood his mission. However, within two seconds, he jumped on Henyi with a smile and said playfully, "Henyi, you must be careful when you are on a mission outside! Don't let others cheat you!"

Hen Yi looked at Xiong Wu with a helpless look in his heart. He shook his head, but a warm smile appeared in his eyes. He sighed helplessly, then stretched out a hand, gently supported Xiong Wu's body, and said softly: "Okay, okay... Stand firm first, don't fall down accidentally."

Cheng Mo watched the scene with a smile on his face, while Xiongtai had a stern face, obviously not wanting to eat this bowl of "dog food" any more. He greeted Cheng Mo, turned around and left, began to count his own men, and prepared to stand guard around.

Duoduo stood quietly beside Cheng Mo. After Hen Yi took Xiongwu away, he approached Cheng Mo cautiously and asked curiously, "City Lord, why did you ask Xiongwu to pay special attention to those cubs and the elderly? In comparison, wouldn't it be more appropriate to let Xiongtai be in charge of this matter?"

Cheng Mo lowered his head and smiled, then replied softly, "If there are no loopholes left, how can the enemy easily show up?"

After hearing this, Duoduo touched his head, still a little confused. He blinked, trying to understand Cheng Mo's intention, but it seemed that he still had only a vague understanding.

Seeing this, Cheng Mo patiently explained, "Sometimes, we need to give the enemy some opportunities, so that they think they have an opportunity. In this way, they will relax their vigilance and reveal their true intentions. The fierce crow is responsible for paying attention to the cubs and the old man, which can create a seemingly weak link. Only in this way can we discover the enemy hiding behind."

Duoduo nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! The evil crow is a big flaw!"

"A-choo!" The fierce crow that had just walked out sneezed, rubbed his nose in confusion and said to himself: "Who is missing me?"
