The scattered huts, the rising smoke, and the occasional barking of dogs, these scenes that Thomas was tired of seeing for nearly twenty years, and even a little tired of it, were as beautiful as the kingdom of God in Thomas's eyes.

I don't know where the strength came from, so that Thomas, who was almost exhausted and paralyzed, staggered up from the soft sand again, and at this time, he even felt that the empty sand was so beautiful.

He stretched out a hand to help the young woman, who was struggling to get up, to stand up, and the first action of the young woman after getting up was to panicked and untie the package that bound the child on her chest, revealing the child's head and face.

Thomas, who was a little difficult to deduce, instantly panicked.

Because of the cold seawater, the child's thick clothes had already been wet, and the child had been crying since he got on the boat, but the young woman obviously did not have time to pay attention to him, and then, Thomas, who was sitting on the side rowing desperately, clearly heard the child's crying getting weaker and weaker, and finally it was inaudible......

"O God, please bless this child, as long as he is okay, I am willing to give everything I have. As the young woman unwrapped the package, Thomas prayed as reverently as never before.

"Ah~" The child's powerful cry came again, but to Thomas's ears, it was so beautiful, it was completely more beautiful than all the beautiful music in the world.

He hurriedly stopped praying and looked over, only to see that the little baby, who was only nine or ten months old at most, had already turned blue from the cold because of his soaked clothes, and then because of this, he would definitely be seriously ill, but at least this lovely little baby was still alive.

As the young woman teased her, the little baby finally stopped crying with his eyes closed, and opened his big beautiful eyes, and the first thing he saw was Thomas, who was leaning over.

When a 'dad' who was not very clear called out to Thomas, Thomas, a man who was still a hairy boy, suddenly his whole heart was cute......

Because of the common escape from death, the thirteen people on this wooden boat, but because of the short time together, they became extremely close, they were barefoot, supporting each other, slowly walking towards the town outside the beach.

In fact, a small group of people had already run towards them, and the concern on their faces could be seen from afar, and behind them, there was a warm hope in a place outside the town with a number of makeshift cabins.

Just across a strait, the same temperature, the same climate, and even the sea breeze blowing on their bodies are the same, but Thomas and the others are like coming to heaven after going through indescribable hardships......

Outside the town, in a shelter built by the Jose Empire.

Such a shelter has been set up in every town along the coast of the Jose Empire on the other side of the Golxington Peninsula, ready to provide assistance to those who successfully cross the strait.

Of course, every small town also has a small number of regular troops, leading a militia composed of some villagers, guarding the long coastline, but the José Empire, which has long sent its elite troops almost to the Macita defense line, can imagine the combat effectiveness of the troops left behind.

As a result, next to the edge of the shelter, another rout assembly point belonging to the military was set up.

Because considering that Thomas and the others hadn't eaten for many days, the aunt in the shelter didn't let Thomas and his party go, let go of their bellies and let them eat and drink;

But the hot oatmeal porridge not only has plump oatmeal kernels, but also adds a small amount of greens and jerky, which makes Thomas, who has not eaten anything decent for more than half a month, feel extremely satisfied.

Sitting around the burning fire, with a thick blanket on her knees, and, above all, the little baby carried by the young woman, after being fed a little cold medicine and hot milk, had fallen asleep quietly again.

After Thomas poured half a bowl of oatmeal into his mouth, his whole body was warm and indescribably comfortable, and it was only at this time that he was truly sure that he was alive.

"Thank you, you are a noble knight, my name is Chris Ding Luo Jie, you can call me Cristing directly. A voice came from the side, and it was the young woman's voice.

It was the second time that Thomas had heard the young woman speak, and if he had calmed down to listen to the other woman, it would have been the first time, and this beautiful young woman with such a beautiful name had a voice as beautiful as her name.

After hearing this, Thomas was a little at a loss, after all, he was still a young man, and his experience of dealing with strange girls could be counted clearly on his fingers.

He replied with a stammer: "No thanks, this is what a man should do, by the way, what are you going to do next?"

"What else, go to a city with a little more people, find a way to get a job, and then raise the kids anyway. The young woman replied calmly, but Thomas could hear the bitterness and helplessness in the answer.

A woman who does not seem to have experienced the hardships of life, with such an unweaned child, can imagine the hardships she will encounter.

An irrepressible impulse made Thomas blurt out the thought in his heart: "Either let me take care of you!"

When Chris heard this, her face first appeared happy, but soon it dimmed again, as if remembering some kind of concern, she was about to shake her head and refuse, but Thomas's subsequent words broke all her defenses and reserves: "After all, children need a father." ”

So, she nodded gently......

The next morning, after a night's rest, Thomas still hadn't fully recovered, but he was finally a little human.

After Chris carefully arranged his collar, he kissed the little baby in the young woman's arms, and then, in the loud laughter of the little baby, straightened his chest and strode into the rout assembly point not far away.

At this time, a small officer dressed as a squad leader was enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee, and after seeing the person in front of him, he asked casually: "Soldier, report your original number and rank." ”

A Jose Imperial army, the unique status plate was thrown in front of the petty officer, and then Thomas solemnly gave a standard military salute, announcing his return.

At the same time, a loud voice rang out: "The garrison of the Marchita Line, the 75th Light Infantry Regiment, the Spearmen Brigade, Captain Thomas Ryan, request to be rebuilt." ”

"Sir, welcome back. The team leader hurriedly stood up and respectfully replied.
