Joseph saw a halo appear on Yang Rui's head, and a powerful force enveloped the surroundings, making him suddenly feel the presence of a god.

He wanted to kneel down for Yang Rui, but was stopped by Yang Rui, Yang Rui said: "Promise me to take good care of their mother and son, and when this child is born, bring him back to Jerusalem, I will wait for him here." ”

Joseph asked, "Does this child have to do earth-shattering things and not live his life in peace?" ”

Yang Rui shook his head and said, "This is his fate, he will do a great thing for God in the last few years of his life." ”

Joseph took Maria on a donkey and left the town in a hurry under Yang Rui's gaze and disappeared into the vast desert.

At the same time, the priests of the temple immediately reported the matter to King Heroddias. How could this tyrannical king tolerate such a ridiculous thing, even if it was true, he did not want a real Messiah to take his place in his divine authority, and if it was false, then the perpetrator should be put to death.

Soon after, the king's guards arrived at the home of Mary and Joseph, only to find that the two men had long since fled and had disappeared.

King Herodes immediately launched a nationwide search, but there was no news. In order to ensure that nothing would be lost, he went so far as to order that all newborn babies in the country, both male and female, should be put to death within the next year, in order to cut off the Messiah from coming into the world.

In the midst of Israel's mourning, Joseph led Mary to leave Judea according to Yang Rui's instructions, thinking about Egypt in the west.

On the way to Egypt, which was full of desert and neighbors, and the food he had brought with him was quickly exhausted, Joseph had to pay for some unleavened bread and water along the way so that Mary would not be exhausted from the long journey.

Maria Joseph's care was meticulous along the way, which made Maria grateful to the honest carpenter, and the relationship between the two became closer.

At night, the desolate next door becomes the Garden of Eden for two people, accompanied by a bonfire and a starry sky, enjoying what kind of fate the children who are about to come to this world will bring to the two people.

As time passed, Maria's belly grew bigger and the journey between the two became more difficult, until one day, Mary was about to give birth, but Joseph found that they still hadn't made it out of the desert.

He told Mary to sit peacefully on the donkey's back, and he looked around for a place where she could stay.

Just as he was at a loss, a village appeared under the cliff in front of him. Excited, Joseph hurried to the village with Maria.

When they arrived, it was already dark, and the people of the village were not willing to take in the two hurriers, and Joseph turned them away, no matter what he had said or his mercy.

Joseph looked at Mary in pain, almost in despair, when a voice suddenly appeared beside him: "Come here." ”

Joseph turned his head to see a dilapidated stable beside him, crowded with sheep that had been spent the night, and in the midst of it sat a few shepherds. One of the old men smiled kindly in the starlight and asked Joseph, "Are you in trouble?" ”

Joseph said: "My wife is about to give birth, but no one in this village wants to take us in and let my wife give birth to the child safely. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Now the world has collapsed, and people's hearts have been given to the devil, so no one will be willing to help and love others. ”

After saying this, the old man continued: "Before your wife is planted from the donkey's back, help her in." ”

Joseph carried Mary into the stable, and the shepherds made way for her to lie down, and Mary's reaction to the birth became more and more severe, and she was already crying with spasms.

Joseph waited anxiously and said, "She needs a midwife." ”

The old man said, "I went to find the midwife here, and it seems that I have to do it myself." ”

Joseph said, "But I won't deliver a baby." ”

The old man smiled and said, "I have delivered countless lambs with my own hands, and this is the first time that a midwife has ever delivered me." ”

Joseph looked at the old man hesitantly and asked, "You can do this." ”

The old man got up, came to a manger, tapped the plank, and said, "Bring your wife here, there is water in the manger to wash the child." ”

At this time, Joseph had no more care and a few other shepherds carried Mary to the manger. Mary's groans of pain pierced the night sky.

By this time the amniotic water had broken and flowed down Mary's thigh into the manger, and the old man calmly parted Maria's legs, and when he saw that the child's head was already exposed, he said to Joseph, "Go and take hold of her hands, and I will see if I can make the child come out more smoothly." ”

Joseph hurriedly stood behind Mary and firmly grasped his wife's hands. The old man gently hugged the child's head with a pair of old hands, and slowly pulled it outward, and Maria was covered in sweat with pain, biting her lips tightly, trying to send the child into this world.

In the end, the child came out smoothly, and the old man cut the umbilical cord with a knife, washed the child with water in this manger, held it in his arms and said with a smile: "What a strong boy!" ”

Ignoring the postpartum weakness, Mary took the child into her arms, her eyes filled with tears of excitement, and in the starlight, the child cried loudly, kicked all fours, and was extremely healthy.

The old man washed his hands and said, "You are really an incompetent mother, the child is hungry, don't you hear, hurry up and breastfeed." ”

Maria quickly aimed the child's mouth at her **, the hungry child desperately sucked the sweet milk, and Joseph watched from the sidelines with tears in his eyes, not knowing what to say.

He raised his head and said to the old man, "Thank you so much, respected elder, it was you who saved their mother and son." ”

The old man also stepped forward to look at the nursing child, and said with a smile, "Helping him to come into this world is even if it is a little respect for God." ”

After speaking, the old man suddenly asked, "By the way, what is the name of this child?" ”

A sentence woke Joseph and Maria, and the two looked at each other, and at the same time showed an excited smile, Joseph said, "I have already thought of the name of this child in the previous days. ”

Mary asked, "Say it, whatever name you choose, it's the most beautiful name in the world." ”

Joseph said, "This child's name is Jesus." (To be continued.) )
