In the year 1195 of the Qiyao calendar, the western border of the Kalvad Republic.

Altair is a port city.Because it is adjacent to the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, it is also close to the city of Crossbell and is an hour's train ride away.

As a result, business exchanges between the two cities were frequent and business prospered.

However, it is a crime to possess a jade.In order to compete for the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, the Erebonian Empire and the Kalvard Republic launched a battle for the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture.

As a result, many residents of Crossbell City fled to Altair City.

The turmoil of the war did not let the business of Altair City wither.

Because the war cut off the trade routes in the territory of Crossbell, the commercial exchanges between Libel and the Kalvard Republic were changed to sea routes.

This makes the port city of Altair even more lively and prosperous.

Not to mention the fishery in Altair City. Due to the food shortage caused by the war, the fishery has become more prosperous, and there is an endless stream of boats going out to sea to fish every day.

On this day, on a small fishing boat, two fishermen were doing today's work.

At this time, the two were planning to close the net and end today's fishing.

Generally speaking, small boats like theirs are salvaged near the coast, return when the cabin is full, and go to sea basically once a day.

However, due to the recent war, a large number of merchants and refugees have poured into Altair, which has strained the city's food demand.

Not only have the prices of staple foods increased, but even the aquatic products that port residents are tired of eating have seen crazy premiums.

Therefore, Altair's fishermen now go out early and return late. Even Buddhist fishermen like the two of them go out twice a day.

Catch the morning and evening markets.

"Brother De! Come and help me, it seems like a big deal! It's so heavy!"

The fishermen who were collecting the nets felt the weight of the fishing nets and quickly shouted for help to the fishermen who were operating the boats next to them.

"It must be a bumper harvest today. I'm really lucky."

"Ah Cai, you have made a lot of money recently, right? Get a wife quickly and don't hang out in those fireworks places all day long. Not only is it a waste of money, but you are also prone to getting sick."

"Hey, brother De, please stop rushing me. What can I do with this little money? I can't buy a guided vehicle or a guided boat. Who is willing to suffer with me? That's why the sisters in Ruyilou are right I treat everyone equally, and as long as the money is in place, they don't mind my fishy smell at all."

A De, who came over to help pull the net, heard A Lai's quibbling and couldn't help but kick him.

"You are telling lies! If you always stare at those girls who only know how to be beautiful and do nothing, people will naturally look down on you. You have to find those who live a down-to-earth life. Aren't there a lot of refugees from Crossbell recently? ! I read it, and there are single and honest girls in it. If you are worried, find someone with parents. With your current conditions, it will definitely work. When the time comes, you will have a woman at home and an old man to take care of it for you. We can definitely go on a long trip. Click to catch fish. Those deep-sea fish are the most valuable.”

"Tch, isn't there any big stuff offshore? Isn't it going to be out now? I'll sell the big stuff at the fish market later. I'll go to Ruyi Building and order a couple of powdered buns. Wouldn't it be nice to hug each other? What the hell! Why should I drag my whole family with me to find fault?"

"you……"

Brother De was so angry that he choked. He couldn't say anything more if others didn't listen.

It's all the fault of the woman who cheated on him. She deceived A Cai's feelings and took away his savings, turning a hard-working and honest young man into a dissolute young man who only knew how to fool around.

They were all heartbroken by that woman!

"Brother De, don't be distracted, it's coming up. It's quite weighty!"

"Ah Cai, listen to my slogan. One, two, three, get up!"

The two worked together to drag the fishing net from the water onto the fishing boat.

However, when they were excited to see what kind of fish they had caught, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Ah Cai was so angry that he couldn't speak properly: "Dead...dead person? What a bad luck!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Open the fishing net and take a look. Maybe it's still alive."

Brother De patted Ah Cai, who was speaking unobtrusively, and quickly stepped forward to untie the net.

It turned out that there were not only a lot of fish in the fishing net, but also a half-year-old child.But the child was pale and motionless, looking no different from a dead corpse.

Although Ah Cai was dissatisfied, he still stepped forward to help.

Because people at sea have rules and should rescue those who are drowning.

Once the corpse is found, it must be brought to the shore for a proper burial. The soul of the deceased must not be allowed to wander at sea and drift with the current.

Looking at the sharp-tongued Ah Cai, Brother De smiled knowingly.

Although A Cai is a dissolute young man who smokes, drinks, and goes to Ruyi Tower, he is still a good boy.

"Quickly, lift him out. Put him on the bow of the ship."

The two of them carried the child to the bow of the boat and put it down. Brother De stepped forward to check on the child's condition.

A Cai asked nervously from the side: "How is it? Is there any hope?"

Brother De touched the child's chest, and then put his wet fingers under the child's nose. After waiting for a few seconds, he slapped his thigh fiercely.

"Good guy, he's still alive! He just fainted. He probably choked on the water. Please help him turn him over and let him spit out some water."

The two of them hurriedly turned the child over so that the child was lying face down.

"Quick, put the fish in the cabin, and I'll sail the boat! We don't know first aid, so go to the church and ask the priest for help!"

The two of them split up. Ah Cai went to tell the fish catch in the fishing net and poured it into the cabin of the fishing boat, while De Ge ran to the stern of the boat, took out a key and inserted it on a black table at the stern, and turned the keys with his hands. He picked up a few metal picks, and then the fishing boat started slowly.

Midnight, De Ge's house.

In an oriental-style room decorated with punk-style furniture, a boy lay unconscious on the bed.

And beside the bed was Brother De, who was sitting beside the bed and watching over him.

After rescuing the child, he handed over the fish selling business to A Cai and carried the child to the church in the city.

Under the priest's healing skills, all the child's injuries have healed.

Even the broken bones and injured internal organs in the body have recovered as before. These are what the priest told Brother De.

He really didn't expect that the child would be so seriously injured that his life was almost hanging by a thread.

Fortunately, the church priest was proficient in healing magic, otherwise the child would have died.

However, the child was severely traumatized, drowned and overtired, and was mentally exhausted, so he still needed time to rest before he could wake up.

The reason why Brother De guarded the child was because he was afraid that the child would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and find himself in a strange place.

"Ade, you go and rest. This child's life is not in danger, I will just watch over him."

De Ge's wife came over and comforted her husband.

Looking at his virtuous wife, Brother De did not refuse. He had been tired for a day.Moreover, we will continue to go fishing tomorrow, so we can’t do it without rest.

After all, now there is an extra mouth in the house!

Originally, Brother De could just leave it alone after saving the child.

Whether it is thrown to the church or to the guerrilla union, they can properly arrange the child.

It's just that Brother De doesn't know why, but he feels destined to this child.

In addition, he felt that the child must have encountered a military disaster on the way to escape and was injured. For a moment, he was filled with love and carried the child home directly.

Although his wife Alan was surprised, he did not object.

Because the two have been married for seven or eight years, but they don't even have a child, which has always been a worry for the wife.

Maybe adopting a child can help you gain some virtue?
