But there were no surprises - Malone's estimate was correct, the Elvin River was indeed shallow in this basin, and even in the center of the river, the water level was no more than as high as Paul's thigh.

As he passed by the center of the river, Paul turned around and waved at Malone - a warning to him that there was really no danger here.

After seeing Paul and several soldiers of the Westspring garrison arrive on the other side of the Elwin River and have begun to wring out the water trails on their trousers, Malone and Elo Eberlock's slightly hanging hearts can finally be relieved.

"Tell everyone to hurry up, we're here to help."

Malone said to Elo Eberlock, then turned and walked over to the crowd waiting to cross the river.

The river water that is only below the knee is not a problem for most adults, and as for the shoes and socks and trouser legs that may get wet, no one cares about it when it comes to life and death.

The point is that there are still small children in the camp, although there are only a few in number, but these children are completely incapable of wading across the Elwin River on their own.

Coming to the center of the crowd, Malone found a young mother with a child; The young woman, who had no man by her side, was alone nervously holding her daughter's hand and helplessly looking at the Elvin River ahead.

Although Elo Eberlock had said that men should help women and children, he did not make specific assignments, and the young mother did not know how to ask for help—everyone around him seemed to be busy.

"Give me the baby!"

Malone walked up to the young mother and spoke softly.

"Luo ...... Sir Lothar? ”

Apparently, the young woman recognized Malone's identity, and she opened her eyes wide and whispered in surprise.

"Well, I scared you? Sorry, I just wanted to take this kid across the river. ”

Malone tried to make himself look kinder, and said to the young woman with a smile.

"That's really...... Thank you so much, Sir Lothar, I ......."

The young mother thanked her repeatedly, and looked a little helpless for a while.

"No, that's what I'm supposed to do."

Marlon smiled, then bowed slightly, and hugged the little girl who was following her mother and was looking at her curiously.

"Come along, can you cross the river yourself? Is there any other family? By the way, I'm sorry to ask so late, what is your name......? ”

Marlon walked to the river with the little girl in his arms, and then turned to the young woman who was following him.

"I ...... My name is Vera, Sir Lothar you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, child...... Her dad was ...... when the orcs attacked Stormwind The two of us are left to depend on each other. ”

The young woman named "Vera" hurriedly answered Marlon's question.

"That's right...... Sorry ......"

The original memory of this body made Malone follow the habits of the people of Stormwind City and said apologetically.

"I didn't ...... It's all right, thank you, Sir Lothar, if it weren't for you, this kid and I wouldn't know what to do......"

With tears in her eyes, Vera felt a deep sense of powerlessness when she thought of her dead husband and her young daughter.

"It's going to get better, believe me, it will."

Malone said comforting Vera, then took off his boots by the river.

Holding the little girl and stepping into the Elwin River, a refreshing coolness rose from the soles of Ma Long's feet and spread to his whole body, making him so refreshed that he couldn't help but shiver.

"Oops!"

Vera also took off her shoes, held them in her hands, and then lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped cautiously into the river, and was stirred by the cold water, and couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Mom, are you alright?"

At this moment, the little girl in Ma Long's arms asked in a milky voice.

"Mommy is fine, Mary, don't move, we'll be able to cross the river soon, you know?"

Vera hurriedly comforted her daughter and said to her with a smile.

"Hmm!"

Maria nodded obediently, then leaned her limp body on Marlon's shoulder, staring at her mother reluctantly.

"Maria...... Is this your name? ”

Ma Long walked forward, teasing the little girl with pink carving.

"Yes!."

The little girl nodded and replied obediently; The rounded chin is little by little on Marlon's shoulders, and it is funny.

"Maria, do you want to play in the river?"

When he reached the center of the Elvin River, Malone stopped, and when he looked back, many people on the shore had already entered the water and were walking behind Malone towards the opposite bank.

The cool water of the river can lift the spirits of weary travelers, and the same is true for these refugees.

The bed of the Elvin River is covered with pebbles of various colors and sizes, which have become incredibly round and smooth over the years.

It is true that they can easily slip under the feet of refugees, but they are much better than stepping on the mud of a river that has been accumulating for an unknown number of years.

Those adults are slightly better, everyone knows the current shape, and the smile on their faces is always converged; But the children are different, and Malone also noticed Maria's excited gaze, so he asked the question just now.

"Hmmm! Think! ”

Maria's tiny body arched in Marlon's arms, and then replied loudly.

"That's right...... It's a shame that this time, Maria can't go to the river to play, understand? ”

Malone said to the little girl.

"Oh......"

Maria replied obediently, but this time, her face was visibly reluctant.

"When Maria grows up, she can come here to play, but not now, if Maria gets washed away by the water, Mom will be worried, understand?"

Malone said to Maria seriously - his words are indeed a bit much, but there is no way, for this cute little girl, anyone who sees it will like it very much.

"Got it, Maria won't let Mom worry!"

The little girl replied loudly.

"You have a good daughter."

On the other side, Marlon let Maria from his arms, and then smiled and said to Vera, who had followed him ashore.

"Well, Mary is very well-behaved."

A happy smile appeared on Vera's face - in such a situation, her daughter was still well-behaved and obedient, and this was the only solace she had left.

"Mary has to be sensible, she has to take care of her mother, understand?"

Marlon bent down, dipped his fingers in a drop of cool river water, applied it to Maria's forehead, and then rubbed her little head melon and said.
