Chapter Seventy-Four: Receiving Jesus (Part II)
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Chang and the others came to the sky above Bethlehem, hid in the clouds, and monitored all of Mary's vital signs from afar.
Now that everything is in place, I don't dare to have the slightest negligence and carelessness, there are more than one or two things that fall short, and the closer to the end, the more likely it is to have accidents.
As night began to cover the land, a small annoyance arose: the clouds disappeared and there was no cloud. This normal weather brought trouble to Liu Chang and them: under the reflection of the sun, they had nothing to hide, and they became a small point of light in the air.
Of course, for the average person, they will not find anomalies. But the terrible thing is that there are strangers everywhere who observe the celestial phenomena, and an extra star in the sky for no reason will also cause a big sensation. They couldn't leave, for their plans and Mary's life were at stake.
"If you see it, you can see it, anyway, it's not necessarily a bad thing if there is a vision in the sky, we are so willful, how can we love it." Liu Chang couldn't do anything.
"It's not good, the contractions are intensifying, and Maria is about to give birth" Among the three women, Liu Ling is the most experienced and experienced, and she is the only one who has ever been a mother.
"No, there's still an hour, let her hold back." Liu Chang said anxiously.
"What do you think is to have a child, you can endure it if you want to?" Liu Ling glanced at Liu Chang, men are idiots, I don't know what giving birth to a child is for us women, it is a matter of life and death!
"What then?" Liu Chang was helpless except for the round.
"Maria" Liu Ling took over the initiative and spoke to Maria: "Don't be nervous, have children, I have experience." ”
Among these women, only Liu Ling has given birth to a child, although she is also confused during the whole process, except for pain and shouting, she has forgotten everything, especially when she sees a mass of wrinkled skin and dark red flesh all over her body, she is tired and lying quietly beside her, and she forgets everything.
"So ugly!" It was the only memory she had at the time.
"Find a reason to let Arthur out" This was Liu Ling's voice ringing in her ears.
There is no midwife, it's not that I have forgotten, this is Maria's insistence, Maria knows that in this era, midwives are of little significance, their biggest role is to bring psychological comfort to the patient, besides, she has secrets, she can't let others find out, in case of danger, her partner will definitely take action.
"My dear" said Mary to Arthur, who was standing next to her, looking nervous but unable to do anything but keep turning in circles, "Go out, the delivery room is unclean." ”
"No," Arthur replied very simply, "I can't leave you alone here." ”
"I'm fine," Maria lifted her sweaty face from pain, "the delivery room is filthy, it will affect a man's luck." This was true, and Arthur knew it, but he really couldn't bear to leave Maria alone, but he didn't know what to do.
"Go and boil some warm water and wash the child when he is born. I didn't call you, don't come in, don't come in" Maria held back the pain and found a reason to let Arthur out: "We will rely on you to support you in the future, which will affect your fortune, and we will not be able to live." ”
"Well, then," Arthur knew, and Maria was telling the truth, "are you all right?" ”
"Don't worry," said Mary, looking at Arthur with encouraging eyes, and in a firm tone, "our children are blessed by God." ”
Seeing Arthur exit the stable, Liu Ling continued to communicate with Maria: "Maria, all you have to do now is relax, relax your whole body, don't be afraid, I have experience in giving birth." ”
"Sister Liu Ling, it hurts. Yes! ~~~”
"I know, I know. I've had babies too, and that's normal. ”
"I—I don't want to give birth. The damn birdman didn't say it hurts so much to have a baby. Maria spoke to Liu Ling without saying a word, just wanting to distract herself: "Those ewes give birth to lambs, and I don't see them hurt." ”
"Can that be the same? They are beasts, and they won't cry out in pain" Liu Ling has also kept contact with Maria:
"Don't be afraid, all your vital signs are normal. Relax and go with the flow. In front of the screen, although Liu Ling's tone was relaxed, she couldn't help clenching her fists, and there was fine sweat on her forehead. The brunette and Ganidoo also stared at the screen, their lips clenched, their eyes wide, and they didn't say a word.
"It's so scary to have a baby?! I'm not alive anymore. Jones was frightened, and a shadow appeared in his heart. It's horrible!
"Dead bald, aren't you going to make a miracle, what are you waiting for" The black girl Jones caught a glimpse of Liu Chang who was spinning around on the side, and was very dissatisfied: "A woman gives birth to a child, you are a big one, oh, no, what do you look at as a child?" ”
"Ah, yes, yes, yes" Liu Chang finally knew what he should do, quit, and went to another control room.
With a shout, the whole of Bethlehem witnessed a miracle, and a multicolored glow shone from the sky, enveloping the whole stable, and alarming the owner of the inn, and when he confirmed that the location of the glow was his stable, he fell to his knees, and did not dare to look up again:
"Oh my God, what did I do? I put the saint in the stable! I let the saint live in the stable!! ”。
When the poor master came to the stable, half-on his stomach and half-kneeling, the anxious Arthur also stood outside the stable, anxiously waiting, he knew that his wife was born a saint, a saint, so he did not care much about the vision.
"Forgive me, O High God, for your mortal servants." The innkeeper knelt outside the stable and confessed.
"Water, boil water!" The shopkeeper's confession reminded Arthur, who was also highly nervous, forgetting Maria's instructions and asking him to prepare some warm water:
"Where's your kitchen?"
"Honored guest, are you hungry? I'll arrange for you to cook right away. "Where the shopkeeper worked hard for a day, he immediately stood up and could remedy the chance, how could he refuse.
"I'm not hungry. You immediately ask people to boil water, and you will need to use it after the child is born. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange someone immediately, no, no, no, I'll go burn it myself."
This glow shone for an hour, just at the time of the child, Liu Chang and they had accurate timing tools, accurate time, a child's cry came from the stable------- Jesus came.
The glow also slowly disappeared, and then, the twinkling new star also disappeared, the mother and son were safe, and Liu Chang and the others finally left with peace of mind.
"Arthur, my dear Arthur, come in quickly" Despite her postpartum weakness, Maria was excited: "Look at our children! ”
Arthur came in and saw Mary dispose of the newborn baby, wrap it in linencloth, and put it in a manger beside her. Perhaps it was the cry that had used all its strength to make the baby lie quietly in the manger --- asleep.
Liu Chang didn't know that their appearance brought them three free supports. Three Ph.D. from the Bethlehem Orient came to Bethlehem on a study tour, and the three of them specialized in astrology and medicine.
That night, due to the clear sky and cloudless skies, it was really the best weather for astrological observation. The three of them found a secluded and open place to observe the starry sky.
"Matthew, James, come and see, isn't it dazzling to me, there's a new star there" A doctor rubbed his eyes with one hand and pointed to the sky with the other, calling his two companions eagerly.
"Poor Luther, do you want to find a new star and want to go crazy, a new star appears, it is rare to meet in ten thousand years." The two men, who were talking with their heads down, heard the man named Luther greet them both, and looked up at the poor man.
"I'm sure it's a new star, if my eyes don't flower. You see, there it is. Luther's tone was positive.
"Where, I'll look," Matthew said in a coping tone.
Observing the stars, mainly to observe the direction of the stars, from which to infer the fortune and good luck of the world, the appearance of new stars often means that there will be saints in the world. A saint is not a cabbage in the land, he can come out if he wants it, and it must be governed by the will of heaven.
Following Luther's direction, the faces of the two men became more and more serious, and James immediately took out the parchment scroll from the package he was carrying, which was the astrological chart they had recorded over the years, and compared them one by one with the faint light of a torch.
"Good luck Luther, you will go down in history. This is indeed a new star" Matthew and James were so excited that even their hands holding the parchment were shaking: "His direction seems to be Bethlehem!" ”
"Behold, a sign has occurred! After the creation of the world, God never showed miracles again, and today there are miracles, and there must be a saint born in Bethlehem! ”
The three of them witnessed a five-colored glow emanating from a nova shining in Bethlehem.
"Let's go, let's go to see the new saint" The three of them looked at each other, their excitement could not be concealed, they held torches, and set off overnight. When we meet the new saint, the night cannot stop our piety.
After more than ten days, the three finally arrived in Bethlehem. But Bethlehem was too big, and they didn't know where the saint was born, so they inquired all the way. Who knows, this act of theirs, but it will cause Mary and them trouble, this is a later story.
After their painstaking inquiries and inquiries. They finally found Maria's family, who were still living in the stable. Mary and they were going to go to the ancestral house where Mary's parents left in Bethlehem the day after giving birth, but at Arthur's strong insistence, Mary gave up her idea and was on the spot uh! ~~ Confinement!
When the three of them saw Jesus still lying in the manger, they immediately fell to the ground, kissed the manger, and really stunned the Arthurs and their husbands, the two adults were next to them, they didn't seem to see it!!
After the kiss, the three of them rushed and took out all the possessions they had with them: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Enshrined on the side of the manger.
"What, and this?"
When Maria's inquiring voice reached the base, Liu Chang and the others were also surprised.
Maria thought it was a show arranged by Liu Chang.
