Chapter 49 is finally back

Dong Ming was eating late. He just took two bites. Dong Ming put down his bowls and chopsticks and sighed for a long time.

Dong Ruo was worried and wanted to go out to find Duan Peng. Dong Ming had no choice but to ask someone to lock up Dong Ruo, but after being locked up, Dong Ming was even more worried. The person who delivered food to Dong Ruo said that Dong Ruo had not entered the rice in the past three days. Originally, I wanted Cheng Xi to persuade Dong Ruo, but after looking for an afternoon, no one saw Cheng Xi's figure.

"General, Captain Huang is here!" Dong Ming was thinking hard about how to comfort Dong Ruo, and suddenly the people below came in and asked for instructions.

"Huang Chi? Invite him in quickly." Dong Ming frowned and answered. Huang Chi had met him when he returned to the village for supplies last night, but he did not bring him any good news. However, Huang Chi said that he would expand the search scope today, but he didn't expect to come back now.

"General!" Huang Chi quickly walked into the small restaurant and saluted Dong Ming.

"Didn't you say that the search scope will be increased today? Why are you back now? Is there any good news?" Dong Ming waved his hand and asked, saying that he urgently needed good news to relieve the pressure in his heart.

"Today I met Li Tong and others on the outskirts of the village, but..." Huang Chi looked at the food that had hardly moved on the table and hesitated a little.

Dong Ming is old and usually eats a small amount of food. As Dong Ming's old subordinate, and Dong Ming is the spiritual pillar of the whole village, Huang Chi is not sure whether to talk about Cheng Xudong now.

"You found Duan Peng and Li Tong. Are they all right?" Dong Ming stood up in surprise. He had been overwhelmed by Dong Ruo's series of things. Now he finally heard good news, but Dong Ming soon found something wrong and found Duan Peng and Li Tong, but Huang Chi still had a solemn expression, "What's wrong? Is something going on?"

"Li Tong and Duan Peng suffered minor injuries, but there is nothing serious about it. They should be able to recover after a period of cultivation, but..." Every time he said this, Huang Chi didn't know how to continue. As Dong Ming's adjutant, Cheng Xi's relationship with Dong Ming is much closer than everyone's.

But what? What's wrong with you today? Why are you hesitant? Dong Ming said unhappily.

"When I found Li Tong, Wang Xing was also with them." Seeing that Dong Ming had lost his temper, Huang Chi said, "It's one of the missing eleven people. He provided me with very bad news."

What's the news? Have the other ten people been hit by something wrong? Dong Ming asked anxiously, looking pale.

Ten 20-year-old young people have participated in four coming-of-age rites. It can be said that they have a certain adaptability to the forest. Such a large casualty can be said to be an unbearable loss for the village. More importantly, Dong Ming doesn't know how to face their parents. Although there will be casualties at every coming-of-age ceremony and such moments every year, Dong Ming will feel the same uncomfortable every time.

Now that Huang Chi had said it, he had no worries. He nodded heavily and continued to say, "Wang Xing said that the ten children had encountered accidents, but their accidents were not accidents, but man-made."

"A man-made? What's the matter?" Dong Ming frowned.

Huang Chi reported all the things Wang Xing said to Dong Ming.

After listening to Huang Chi's report, Dong Ming sat down with a gloomy face. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Where are Wang Xing and the others?"

"It's outside."

"Bell them in."

Huang Chi led Duan Peng in. Dong Ming interrogated carefully with a gloomy face, and almost all the details were not missed.

In fact, he hasn't begun to cross-examination. Dong Ming has vaguely felt that everything Wang Xing said is true. He hasn't seen the process Xi all afternoon, which has almost never happened to Cheng Xi and him in more than 20 years. But until Wang Xing was interrogated, Dong Ming still refused to accept this fact.

"Xiao Huang, go and find Xiao Le. I want to ask him something." After listening to Wang Xing's personal dictation, sitting at the table, Dong Ming was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"Yes, General!" Huang Chi took the order.

Before long, Xiao Le lowered his head and walked in with a timid back from Huang Chi. When he saw Duan Peng and the three of them, his eyes widened in horror, stepped back two steps, and almost sat on the ground.

Just seeing Xiaole's expression, Dong Ming was a little sure in his heart, but he still asked with some luck, "Xiao Le, has Xudong ordered you to kill Duan Peng?"

"I...I..." pointed out that Cheng Xudong was under too much pressure, which Xiao Le had never thought of, but in the face of Dong Ming's question, Xiao Le was under greater pressure. He and I couldn't say a word for a long time.

"What's wrong? Have you ever said that you don't know how to answer such a simple question? Dong Ming clearly told Cheng Xi that Duan Peng had been promoted to a fourth-level mechast. The coming-of-age ceremony must give Duan Peng the greatest protection. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xudong turned around and went out to kill Duan Peng. Dong Ming had a feeling of being betrayed. Now he saw Xiao Le's cowardice, and his chest was even more angry.

"I don't know..." Xiaole said in a panic.

"If you say it, you just say it. If you don't say it, you just didn't say it. What does it mean you don't know?" Dong Ming's hand slapped hard on the table, and the dishes on the table jumped up.

Xiao Le was so scared that his whole body trembled. Before returning to the village, Cheng Xudong taught him a set of explanation. Originally, he was still worried, but after three days, none of the other people who knew it had returned, and no one doubted that he had any motives. Xiaole's heart slowly put down, but he didn't expect to see people he didn't want to see as soon as he came at night.

After trembling for a long time, Xiao Le raised his head and glanced at the faces of the people in the room, and quickly lowered his head and whispered, "He said that." Xiaole's voice was so low that it was almost indistinguishable. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaole quickly explained, "But I didn't participate. I just took the children to wait for them to come back on the outskirts of the village."

The room is very quiet. Although Xiaole's voice is very small, everyone can still hear it clearly.

Dong Ming's face suddenly changed. He closed his eyes in pain and his breathing became heavy. After a long time, Dong Ming opened his eyes and said, "Xiao Huang, go and call Xudong here." There was a desolation in Dong Ming's voice. As soon as his voice fell, Dong Ming seemed to be decades old.

Cheng Xudong almost grew up with Dong Ming. He has only one daughter. Cheng Xudong is similar to his son in his eyes, but with his understanding of Cheng Xudong, he never thought that Xudong would do such a thing - kill his partner.

"General..." Huang Chi did not take the order to leave. He looked at Dong Ming worriedly, but he didn't know what to say to comfort Dong Ming.

"I'm fine. Go quickly. I haven't seen Lao Cheng in the afternoon." Dong Ming waved his hand tiredly and said with a tired expression, "They may have left at this time."

"Yes, General!" After listening to Dong Ming's analysis, Huang Chi no longer cared about Dong Ming's state and took the order to leave quickly.

Just a few minutes, Huang Chi ran back quickly, "General, Cheng Xi and Xudong are no longer there. I went to the village gate to ask. Cheng Xudong and Li Xin had already gone out in the afternoon and took away two mechas when they left.

"Forget it. You're tired too. Go back to rest first!" When he heard that Cheng Xi and Cheng Xudong had really left, Dong Ming seemed to be relieved. He couldn't tell whether he should be happy or be annoyed.

"General, are we going to chase it?" After a while hesitating, Huang Chi still asked. Of course, he knows the relationship between Dong Ming and Cheng Xi's family, but as the captain of the village guard, he absolutely can't tolerate such people.

"It's up to you! I'm tired!" After saying that, Dong Ming walked into the room and walked to the corner. Dong Ming's feet suddenly softened. He staggered two steps forward and quickly supported the wall before he fell to the ground.

"General!" Huang Chi rushed forward to hold Dong Ming's body.

"I'm fine." Dong Ming waved his hand, did not accept Huang Chi's kindness, and walked into the room without looking back.

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

Zhong Xi and Zhong Li are also eating, but their minds are obviously not eating. They are just sitting at the table. They have hardly moved the dishes and meals in front of them.

As soon as Duan Peng arrived at the door, he alarmed the two brothers. When he saw Duan Peng standing at the door, Zhong Li immediately left the table to welcome him. Xiaopeng..." Zhong Li opened his mouth and shouted two words, but he couldn't say anything.

Although Zhong Li didn't say anything, Duan Peng was also very moved by his concerned eyes. Duan Peng whispered, "Brother Li, I'm back!"

"Just come back! Just come back!" Zhong Li said, "I'll get you something to eat!" After saying that, Zhong Li walked into the kitchen. As soon as he entered the kitchen, Zhong Li stretched out the corners of his eyes and wiped them twice.

Zhong Xi did not get up. After waiting for Zhong Li to enter the kitchen, Zhong Xi stood up and slowly walked to Duan Peng's side. His eyes kept looking at Duan Peng's wound. After looking at it for a long time, he frowned and said, "What's going on? How did you do this?"

"Nothing, it's just a few robots." Duan Peng reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said.

"Robot?" Zhong Xi was not so easy to fool. He pointed to the wound on Duan Peng's shoulder blade and said, "Is this also a robot injury?"

As a last resort, Duan Peng repeated the incident during the coming-of-age ceremony.

Until this time, everything came to the surface. Needless to say, the last confiscation of the mecha must have been caused by Cheng Xi and his son, but the mecha was donated even if he didn't donate it. Now there is no reason to come back. Zhong Xi said with a gloomy face and hateful face, "How fast!"

However, he only complained a few words, and Zhong Xi's attention focused on Duan Peng again. "During this period, you can stay at home to recover from your injury. When you recover, we will start the next stage of training. Now you are still too weak."

"Yes, Brother Xi!" Duan Peng answered happily. This experience also understood his shortcomings, and Zhong Xi's personal guidance was very much for him.
