Moses walked in the wild. He didn't know where he was going, he just watched the sun rise and keep going.

Thirsty to drink some sweet river water, hungry to eat a few tender berries, until one day he came to a meadow, where the scenery made him forget the fear and exhaustion of fleeing.

A shepherd drove his flock past him, and he asked the shepherd, "What is the name of this place?" ”

The shepherd said, "This is Midian." ”

Moses asked, "Are there any villages here?" ”

The shepherd said, "Go all the way east and you will see the village, and you may be able to satisfy your poor man with an unleavened bread." ”

Moses thanked the shepherd and went on to the east, but after some distance he felt someone staring at him from behind, and he looked back and saw where the shepherd had been standing staring at him, as if with a smile on his face.

Moses bowed to the shepherds in the distance and moved on.

Sure enough, he didn't go far to see the village, it was very quiet and harmonious, he walked to the well at the entrance of the village, fetched some well water to drink, and then sat down by the well to rest, thinking about where he was going next, to be honest, he didn't know.

The well was probably the only source of water in the village, so it was very noisy, and next to it was a barn full of cattle and sheep, and the cries of the animals were incessant, and many people from the village came here to fetch water, but no one cared about Moses, the stranger passing by.

It wasn't until a burst of woman's laughter was remembered that Moses' attention was grabbed.

When he saw the seven girls each carrying a bucket toward the well, Moses found that the youngest of the seven girls was indeed the most beautiful, and he was immediately attracted to the girl, and stared at her intently.

The girl also noticed that an unkempt guy was staring at her, and her face turned red without commenting.

The girls came to the well and began to draw water, but a rough fat man stopped them.

The fat man yelled, "Get out of the way, you lowly women, my cow needs water." ”

The beautiful girl retorted, "We came first, and we should have fetched water first, and besides, my flock also needs water." ”

The fat man pushed the girl away and said, "I don't care, I'm here, I have to fetch water first, you all get away!" ”

The girl said, "Why are you so rude?" ”

The fat man glared at the girl and threatened: "What? Do you want to get beaten? ”

At this time, Moses suddenly stood up, pointed at the fat man, and said, "These girls came first, and they should have fetched water first!" ”

The fat man turned his head and looked at Moses with disdain and asked, "Who are you?" You are not worthy to speak to me in this place of Midian. ”

Without showing any weakness, Moses walked up to the fat man and said solemnly, "Although I am not a Midianite, anyone has a say in the face of justice!" Today you have to get the girls to fetch the water first! ”

The fat man took a step back and looked at Moses' appearance and said, "What? Do you want to hit me? ”

Moses grabbed the fat man by the collar and said, "If you bully these girls again, I'll let you know how powerful my fists are." ”

Moses was tall and burly, and the fat man was no match for him, and Moses' big powerful hands grabbed the fat man's neck and almost made him breathless.

The fat man was timid, and he didn't dare to be tough anymore, so he had to say, "Whatever you want, don't hurt me." ”

Moses really didn't want to get into trouble anymore, so he let go of the fat man and left him aside. Then he came to the girls' side and smiled and said, "If you want, please let me serve you." ”

The beautiful girl handed the bucket to Moses and smiled, "Thank you, stranger." ”

Moses helped the seven girls to draw a lot of water from the wells and also helped them drink the flock. This all happened in a very short period of time.

In the end, the girls went away thankfully, and Moses looked at the beautiful girl's back in a daze, but the girl suddenly turned around and gave Moses an intoxicating smile.

After the girls left, Moses fell into deep thought again, and he continued to think about his future, but after thinking for a long time, there was no answer.

It wasn't until a shadow blocked the sunlight on his face that he came back to his senses, looked up, and saw the girl standing in front of him.

Moses smiled wearily and asked, "Is there anything else I need help with?" ”

The girl said, "My father wants to see you?" ”

"Your father?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded and continued, "His name is Liuer, and he is a priest here. ”

Moses asked, "Why did your father see me?" ”

The girl said, "To thank you for your help to our sisters. ”

Moses waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't know how the old man is so rewarded for these little things." ”

The girl took Moses up and said, "Go, stranger, for my father has said that I must see you today." ”

Moses was led by the girl into the village, and in a courtyard he met the girl's father, the old man who claimed to be a Midianite priest.

Reuel was a kind-faced old man, and Moses had a very affectionate feeling when he first saw him. Reuel also welcomed Moses warmly, and he instructed his girl to go and slaughter a sheep for food as a reward for Moses.

Moses excused himself and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, I didn't do anything, if I could, just give me a bowl of water to drink." ”

Rur said, "Young man, there are not many people in this world who think of you like you, no matter what your purpose is, if you help us anyway, then we must give thanks, this is the staff that God has given us." ”

Moses asked, "Do you believe in the existence of God?" ”

Liuer smiled and said, "God is everywhere, and what I am saying today may be deliberately arranged by God, so that you and I have done it together." ”

Moses smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But I don't feel God's presence." ”

Rouer asked, "You must be in some kind of trouble when you look like this?" ”

Moses honestly told Reuel what had happened, and finally he said, "I don't know where to go now, God has not given me any guidance, and I am like a stray lamb that may soon be eaten by wolves." ”

"Young man, there must be a place in this world where you can stay, maybe right here. ”

Moses asked, "Old man, what do you mean by that?" ”

Lear said, "I believe in the existence of God, and perhaps it was God who brought you here." You are an honest man, I have a lot of trust in you, you can stay with me if you want, I am too old to take care of the sheep, you can help me. ”

"Really?" Moses barely believed his ears.

Reuel pointed to his simple and poor hut and said, "As long as you don't dislike this place, you can stay." ”

Moses smiled and said, "Of course I don't dislike it, I'm tired of running away." It's just that I'm afraid it will cause you and your family problems. ”

Reuel said, "It's so far from Memphis that the Egyptians won't care about it, and why would an Israelite submit to Pharaoh?" ”

Moses smiled and said, "Old man, I am also an Israelite. ”

Reuel nodded and said, "Although you are dressed in Egyptian clothes, I can see that you are my kindred." You were lucky to have survived, but all three of my sons were killed by a single order from the Pharaoh. ”

Moses tried to say something of comfort, but was stopped by Reuel, who said, "No need for comfort, I am strong!" The Israelites were not so easily defeated! ”

The beautiful girl brought the roasted lamb, and Moses was really hungry, he ate like a hungry wolf, and ate almost the whole roasted lamb, and the seven daughters of Reel crowded at the door and watched the man gobble up, and they all laughed.

With a smile on his face, he handed Moses a cup of goat's milk and said, "Young man, if you eat my roasted sheep, you must take care of the flock for me!" ”

Moses said, "But I don't know how to shepherd." ”

Reuel called the beautiful girl into the house and pointed it out to Moses, "This is my youngest daughter, Zipporah, and she will tell you how to take care of the flock." ”

Moses looked up at the beautiful Zipporah and was stunned. Zippora smiled and said, "From today onwards, I will be your teacher!" (To be continued.) )
