Chapter 5 Dongjia Village

"Dad!" Dong Ruo ran back to his home angrily and rushed into Dong Ming's study without even knocking on the door. "How can you treat my friend like this?"

The moment the door was pushed open, Dong Ming's face turned black, but when he found that it was Dong Ruo who pushed the door open, the black clouds on his face disappeared clean in an instant. Putting down the book at hand, Dong Ming stood up with a smile and walked to Dong Ruo and said, "Yo! My little princess is finally willing to come back.

"I just went out for a few days!" Dong Ruo held Dong Ming's arm and acted coquettishly, but soon she found something was wrong and immediately shook off Dong Ming's arm and said, "Dad, don't change the topic. You haven't said why you treat my friend like this!"

Seeing the failure to change the topic, Dong Ming's expression also became serious. He slowly walked back to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip.

Looking at Dong Ming's unhurried appearance, Dong Ruo couldn't help it. She ran to Dong Ming's side, put down the tea in Dong Ming's hand, and then took Dong Ming's hand and shook it and said, "Dad~~"

"Little girl!" Dong Ming smiled and pulled out his hand and nodded twice on Dong Ruo's forehead, and then took a long breath before saying, "Ruoer, do you know how many people have come to our village in the past few days since you went out?"

Dong Ruo's eyes widened. She didn't know what Dong Ming said had anything to do with her friends, but before Dong Ruo raised questions, Dong Ming continued: "1,400, a total of more than 1,400 people!"

"But what does this have to do with my friends?"

"It doesn't matter!" Dong Ming's face showed a wry smile that had never appeared before. After a pause, he continued, "Ruoer, what does this represent? This shows that the robot has increased its cleaning efforts, indicating that many villages around us have been destroyed!"

Shaking her head, Dong Ruo still didn't understand what Dong Ming wanted to express. Just as she was about to open her mouth, Dong Ming waved his hand at him.

"This also shows that we will not be able to go hunting for a period of time. We can only live on the stored food, and there are only more than 2,300 people in our village. Where did we get so much food to help so many refugees?" Dong Ming's voice was getting lower and lower, and his face was full of unconcealed pain.

Dong Ruo's face is getting paler and paler. She understands Dong Ming's pain, but she can't agree with Dong Ming's behavior: "Dad, what about those refugees? Did you drive them away?"

Dong Ming didn't say anything more. He just sighed and lay on his back on the seat. It was not that he was cruel, but that he would not make such a decision and would not even be able to protect his own village.

Looking at his father's movements, Dong Ruo seemed to have been drained out of his strength and suddenly collapsed on the ground.

Silent and silent, there was only the breathing of Dong Ming and his daughter in the whole study. The quiet Dong Ruo seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat, and the depressing atmosphere made Dong Ruo feel a little breathless.

A gentle knock on the door broke the silence. Although no one answered the door, the door was still pushed open. A thin old man appeared at the door of the study. He first stood by the door and looked inside before gently entered the study. Slowly picked up Dong Ruo, who was sitting on the ground, and slowly took Dong Ruo out of the room. He closed the door. The thin old man said, "Miss, please don't blame the general!"

Dong Ruo raised his eyes feebly and looked at the old man, and then his eyes closed together again.

"Miss, please don't forget the identity of the general. In fact, the general wants to save these refugees more than any of us, but now what is more important is that we must keep this last position. It is also a last decision to abandon these refugees, and the general's heart is more painful than all of us."

The old man helped Dong Ruo aside and sat down, then went to Dong Ruo and knelt down: "Miss, please support the general. You are the last pillar in our general's heart!"

Dong Ruo jumped up from the chair in fear, quickly gave way, and then quickly lifted the old man's body: "Uncle Cheng, get up quickly. Don't do this. I'll listen to you whatever you say!"

The old man's face smiled with relief, "Thank you, miss. You'd better comfort the general more when you have time!" After saying that, the old man walked out of the yard. Halfway through, the old man seemed to remember something. He turned around and said, "Miss, please don't sneak out again. This time, the general is very worried!"

Ten years ago, when Dong Ruo's father Dong Ming was still a general of the city's garrison, but the robot* happened too suddenly. More importantly, most of the army in the city was directly composed of robots, and Dong Ming was completely caught off guard.

In the end, Dong Ming could only take his human troops and break out of the city. After leaving the city, Dong Ming originally wanted to take his troops to other cities, but when he turned on the radio, Dong Ming found that not only his city, but almost all the cities on the planet were attacked at this moment, and they were homeless.

Finally, these homeless soldiers also formed such a village in this dense forest. Of course, the village is no longer full of pure soldiers, including some refugees they collected along the way, and people who later fled to their village.

After Cheng Xi left, Dong Ruo slowly chewed the words left by the old man, and it didn't take long for her to figure it out. Her father, a general who protects human beings, now has to turn away these human beings protected by him. Presumably her father has suffered much more torture in his heart than anyone else. After thinking about all this, Dong Ruo silently walked back to the door of the study and knocked gently on the door.

No one answered in the room. After hesitating for a while, Dong Ruo still opened the door and walked in. Dong Ming was staring at the roof with blank eyes, the same expression as when Dong Ruo went out, with almost no change.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm too selfish to think of your feelings!" Dong Ruo gently walked to Dong Ming's side, held Dong Ming's hand and muttered, as he said, tears flowed down.

With a long sigh, Dong Ming finally woke up from the silence. He looked at Dong Ruo sitting at his feet lovingly and slowly scratched his fingers through Dong Ruo's hair, "Son, don't be silly. It's not you who are selfish, it's Dad who is selfish!"

............

"General, miss, dinner is over!"

I don't know when it had darkened, and the sound of dinner woke up the father and daughter in silence. Dad, let's go out for dinner!" Dong Ruo took his father's arm and said.

"Okay! Go out for dinner!" It feels different to have a daughter around. Dong Ming feels that after sitting with him all afternoon, his spirit seems to be much better.

Sitting at the table, Dong Ruo suddenly thought of Duan Peng and others. She couldn't help asking Cheng Xi next to her, "Uncle Cheng, has Xiaopeng arranged food? They should have something to eat tonight!"

"Don't worry, miss, everything on your friend's side has been arranged!" Cheng Xi said with a smile.

Hearing Dong Ruo's question, Dong Ming's face showed surprise. His daughter knew that she was a very kind girl, but she was definitely not a careful girl, but he didn't expect that his daughter would even think of such a small thing as eating, "Ruoer, are these friends important?"

"Of course!" Dong Ruo nodded heavily, and then turned around and said fiercely to Dong Ming, "If you want to drive them away, I will go with them!" Although Dong Ruo tries his best to show a vicious expression, what kind of expression with her cute appearance will only become more cute.

Dong Ming laughed and patted Dong Ruo on the head.

"Actually, I ran out this time and accidentally met a robot. If it hadn't been for them, I might never see you again." As soon as he talked about the situation that day, the blood on Dong Ruo's face couldn't help fading, and his face turned extremely pale.

"You mean they saved you with those three shabby mechas?" Dong Ming also had a lingering lingering heart. His daughter was an idle person and often ran away from home, but this time Dong Ruo brought a mecha when he ran away from home. He thought there would be no big problem, but he didn't expect such a dangerous moment.

"What a broken mecha, those three mechas were assembled by themselves after their village was destroyed!" Dong Ruo said dissatisfiedly. And isn't the defeated robot when they saved me still carrying the mecha?

"What? Assemble it yourself?" Dong Ming's eyes widened. He turned his head and looked at Cheng Xi standing next to him and found that Cheng Xi's face was also surprised. He was sure that he had heard it correctly.

"What is this?" Dong Ruo said disdainfully, "Dad, I have another good news to tell you. They can also convert energy!"

Dong Ming couldn't sit still any longer and jumped directly from the seat, "Convert energy?"

Dong Ruo smiled proudly, and she knew that there would be such a result. "Of course, if it hadn't been for this, I wouldn't have come back now?"

Dong Ming did not notice the proud expression on Dong Ruo's face at all. He was stunned by the news brought by Dong Ruo. If the three people brought back by Dong Ruo really had such ability, if he drove these three people away today and thought about how he treated these three people during the day, Dong Ming could no longer sit still.

"Ruo'er, take me to see them quickly." Regardless of Dong Ruo's still eating, Dong Ming pulled Dong Ruo up from the table.

"Hee, hurry!" Dong Ruo pressed Dong Ming back to the chair, "They won't leave. Even if they leave, it's not today. Or they can't stay today, and even if they go to see it, they have to wait until after dinner, if you don't eat, they still have to eat, right?"

Dong Ming patted his head with a smile and picked up his job again. He didn't expect that his daughter would have a more sober moment than himself.

The second update is coming. Let's work hard together!
