Everyone is finding something to do.

Because of this, when the farmer Derwent drove the carriage back at noon, the originally slightly messy room had been cleaned up by the children, and even the dirty clothes piled up due to the lack of a hostess had been dried.

Neatly.

But even so, those children still refused to rest, or in other words, they did not dare to let themselves be idle at all, otherwise they would subconsciously think of the minefield.

"Victor, they..." Derwent, who was holding a camera in his hand, looked at the much cleaner room in astonishment, then looked at Wei Ran, and said calmly, "Victor, you don't have to do this.

, even if you..."

"Let them do something so that they may feel better."

Wei Ran paused and gestured towards the camera in the other person's hand, "Mr. de Winter, what are you doing?"

"Take an ID photo for each of them."

Derwent shook the camera in his hand and explained, "Then the people from Comet Line will help them get a new identity, so that they will be completely safe."

"If possible, how about letting me take the photo?" Wei Ran said proactively, "I also want to find something to do."

"It would be best if you could help."

Derwent immediately handed the camera in his hand to Wei Ran, then took out a palm-sized notepad from his pocket and handed it to him, "Just take a bust, remember to write their names in the order they were taken.

Make a note of your age and age. Those whose faces are covered with gauze can be photographed after their injuries have healed."

"give it to me"

Wei Ran paused and asked tentatively, "Mr. de Winter, can I take an additional photo of them?"

"sure!"

Without thinking, Derwent took out an extra box of film from his pocket and handed it to Wei Ran, "Miss Sophie originally bought an extra box of film for me to bring back. Well, I'll leave the photo taking to you.

The room on the second floor closest to the stairs has a white cloth hanging on the wall. You can take your children there to take ID photos. Also, Victor, do you want to have a drink together tonight?"

"I'll prepare the wine," Wei Ran said with a smile, "I brought some wine."

"That would be great"

Before Derwent finished speaking, he had already stopped Dr. Walter, "You and Lena will also stay and have a drink together in the evening. Now, let me get to know these little guests again. I specially bought them from the town.

I got some small gifts."

Seeing this, Wei Ran secretly sighed, called on the uninjured children to climb up to the second floor, and took a photo of each of them without a smile on their ID card.

"When will Victor, Sophie and Sister Qiqi come back?" A little girl about ten years old asked worriedly.

"They will be back soon." Wei Ran quickly wrote down the other person's name and age. Without waiting for her to ask again, he continued, "Next one."

The little girl who asked the question stood up with a pout and gave the little chair to a little boy waiting in line.

After spending almost half an hour taking photos of these children, Wei Ran knocked on Nadia and Dominic's door after some hesitation.

"Come in," Nadia responded in a clear voice.

Gently pushing the door open, Wei Ran looked at the young couple lying on their backs or prone, shook the camera in his hand and said, "I want to take ID photos for you, Nadia, you and Dominic."

Can you sit up?"

"I can only stand"

After Nadia finished speaking, she did not forget to kiss Dominic who was lying next to her on the face. Then she stood up with the help of Wei Ran and moved to the wall step by step with difficulty to stand up.

"Do I need to give you an injection to relieve the pain?" Wei Ran asked before raising the camera.

"No need." Nadia, who almost had to lean against the wall to support her back, shook her head gently and rejected Wei Ran's kindness. Then she faced the camera and showed a big smile.

Upon seeing this, Wei Ran immediately pressed the shutter button and fixed this rare smile on the film.

"You look very happy," Wei Ran asked as he helped the other person lie down on the bed again.

"Shouldn't you be happy?"

Nadia asked back, "Dominique is still alive. We escaped from Germany and got new clothes. Mrs. Lena just gave me a skirt as a gift."

"But Host is dead, Heck is dead, Orkan and..."

Before Dominic, who was lying on the same bed next to him, could finish speaking, Nadia asked, "Can they survive if we are not happy? Or are they paying such a high price to send us here just to watch?

We are crying and watching you miss your balls?

And didn’t Mrs. Lerner just say that even if you don’t have balls, it won’t have any impact on you. The best we can do in the future is to have no children.”

Taking a deep breath, Nadia ignored Wei Ran's presence, leaned forward and lay in Dominic's arms and said, "I don't even care about this, what are you afraid of?"

Compared to Host and Okan, you only lost two balls. When we were at the castle, weren't you always trying to persuade me? Why are you like this now?"

"Get up quickly!"

Wei Ran, who decided to be a light bulb, patted Dominic's shoulder gently and whispered into his other ear, "Nadia is a good girl, don't let her look down on you."

Dominic was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of his eyes, and let Wei Ran help him sit up, taking a photo of his ID that would give him a chance to start a new life.

"Do you mind if I let someone else come in and take a group photo with you?" Wei Yan put down the camera and asked deliberately, "Just like before we set off."

A look of panic appeared subconsciously on Dominic's face, and then he nodded, "Let them come in, Victor...Thank you...Thank you."

"You should thank Nadia!"

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he helped Nadia up again, then opened the door and greeted the children outside to come in.

After hearing that they were going to take another group photo together, these friends immediately rushed into this small room with the gifts they had just distributed.

Contrary to Dominic's expectation, these partners who go to life and death together

They didn't laugh at his injury at all as he was worried about. Instead, they only had concerned greetings that he didn't expect and various slightly childish comforts.

Finally, under the command of Wei Ran, the children centered on Dominic, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Nadia, who was kneeling straight behind him on the bed, holding up the gifts given to them by the farmer Derwent.

Overflowing with a relaxed smile that should have appeared long ago, he took a group photo of the survivors.

"Nine people are missing..."

Wei Ran secretly sighed. In addition to Timov, the American soldier who left alive to help them lure away the pursuers, but did not know whether he was alive or dead at this time, and Sophie and Qiqi, who also left alive to find Dominic's family,

The remaining six people who will never be able to walk out of that forest again and will never appear in a group photo again are the painful price these innocent people who are too young paid to get the ticket to leave this war.

"When we set out yesterday, Okan still had his arm around my shoulders."

Tornas, who was blind in one eye, looked down at the slightly deformed pocket watch-style compass on his neck and murmured to himself. At the same time, tears fell from his face and hit the floor.

superior.

"When we set out, Sister Heike told me that she would help me wash my hair after we escape."

A little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old scratched her scalp and said with a cry, "I have fleas in my hair, but I would rather have fleas all over my head, and I also want Sister Heike and the others to survive."

"

After a moment of silence and depression, a young man who looked about the same age as Okan put his arm around Jonas' shoulders and said, "Jonas, I will be your brother from now on. If you are willing, I will be Okan."

"I'll help you wash your hair later." A little girl with red and swollen eyes hugged the little girl from behind, "I will be Heike from now on."

"Then I will be Host!"

Another young man patted his chest and said, "From now on, I will be Host. Victor, remember to change my name for me. From now on, I will be Host."

"I will be Bernd from now on!" shouted another young man, raising his hands.

"Then I will be Stefan from now on!"

A child standing in the corner yelled and grabbed the name of another friend who was killed by the stream, "Victor! I will be Stefan from now on, remember to change my name, Stefan..."

Frings. From now on, my name is Stefan Frings."

"What's the name of that American?" A little boy who didn't expect the name thought for a moment, "Bud? Yes, I will be Bud from now on."

"Buck!"

Dominic couldn't help but remind him, "His name is Buck, Buck Beniers. I've known his name for a long time. He comes from a place called Montana. His family raises a lot of livestock. These are all

Timov helped translate and told me."

"Then Buck, Victor, from now on my name is Buck... What is Buck? Dominic, please say it again." The little boy looked at Dominic mid-sentence.

"Buck Beniers," Dominic repeated again, "or else I..."

"right"

The little boy didn't wait for Dominic to finish and said loudly, "Victor, that's my name! Buck Bennetts."

"I wonder if Mr. Timov is still alive..." A little guy who looked not much older than Jonas muttered expectantly.

"Shut up you idiot, what stupid thing are you thinking!"

Nadia, who was kneeling on the bed with difficulty, tapped the little guy's not-so-smart head lightly or hard with her knuckles. The latter also subconsciously shrank his neck and covered his head with a silly smile.

Maybe laughter really has some kind of magic power. Soon, this small room, which was filled with sadness just a moment ago, was filled to the brim with laughter that was extremely young and full of vitality and hope.

In the laughter of Wei Ran and the middle-aged and elderly people eavesdropping outside the door, these little guys who were lucky enough to survive from the center of the battlefield inadvertently used another method to keep their friends who did not come out of the forest alive.

Come down - even if this is a little childish
