Time passed quickly. Many years later, King Herodius died, and his will disappeared with his death. The search for the soul case for many years also stopped, which meant that Joseph and Maria could return to their own

's hometown.

It had been almost thirty years since they left Nazareth, and Yang Rui had been waiting at the place where he had broken up with them. Until one day, when the sun had just risen in the sky.

At the end of the earth, a figure appeared, tall and thin, with brown hair falling on his shoulders, and a pair of pure eyes shining with the light of wisdom. He was wearing a white robe, holding a shepherd's cane in his hand, driving the sheep

The crowd came from the horizon.

Seeing this scene, Yang Rui couldn't help but laugh.

When the young man walked up to Yang Rui, he stopped and asked, "Is Nazareth going in this direction?"

Yang Rui nodded and said, "Yes, keep walking and you will see the small town."

The young man saluted Yang Rui politely and was about to walk by him. At this time, Yang Rui suddenly said: "Jesus, are your father Joseph and mother Maria okay?"

Upon hearing Yang Rui suddenly ask about this matter, the young man stopped suddenly, stared at Yang Rui with some vigilance and asked: "Who are you?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Your parents and I are old acquaintances. I saved their lives, and I also saved yours. Didn't they mention me to you?"

The young man hesitated for a moment, then saluted Yang Rui again and said respectfully: "Yes, I am Jesus. My parents often mentioned your deeds and asked me to keep them in mind. They also asked me to repay you when we can meet again one day.

Your kindness.”

Yang Rui laughed loudly and said: "You believe me when I say it casually? Are you afraid that I am the one who wants to arrest you?"

Jesus showed a simple smile and said: "I believe in you. This world needs trust."

Yang Rui nodded and asked, "Where are your parents now?"

Jesus said, "They told me to go back to Nazareth first because the lamb has grown. I want to sell it for a good price before the Passover. They will follow later."

Yang Rui said: "They are already very old. Aren't you afraid of leaving them in the desert and suffering?"

Jesus said, “My brothers and sisters will take good care of my parents.”

Yang Rui said: "I am very happy that your family is safe and healthy."

After saying this, the two of them were walking side by side on the road to Nazareth. Jesus asked, "I haven't asked you your name yet."

Yang Rui said: "Just call me Rui."

Jesus said: "After so many years, I guess you are about the same age as my parents. I didn't expect you to be so young. I wonder how old you were when you saved my family?"

Yang Rui said: "I have forgotten how long I have lived. Anyway, I am glad to see you."

After speaking, Yang Rui continued to ask: "Are you thirty years old?"

Jesus shrugged and said, "Twenty-nine years old, to be precise!"

Yang Rui sighed and said, "It's amazing how time flies. What happened that day seems like just yesterday."

Jesus said: "It will be soon. I have lived in Egypt for twenty-nine years, and now I want to return to my former hometown. I am still a little uncomfortable."

Yang Rui asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

Jesus thought for a while and said, "I don't know either, but first I want to find a place for my family to live, and then I will continue to shepherd the sheep. Maybe I can feed the whole family."

Yang Rui said: "This place cannot compare with the richness of Egypt. Under the dual rule of the Romans and the Herodian Kingdom, life was very difficult."

Jesus smiled optimistically and said: "I have always believed in life that only hardship can make us grow. I have been prepared for this, but I hope that through hard work life will become beautiful."

Yang Rui asked: "What does a good life look like in your eyes?"

Jesus thought for a while and said, “Have a strong house, a flock of lambs, a beautiful wife, and lots of children.”

Yang Rui nodded and said, "The life you described is indeed beautiful."

Jesus winked at Yang Rui and said: "I have been grazing in Egypt for twelve years. Since my father bought two lambs, I now have a total of fifty sheep. I think I am further away from the life I described.

One step closer."

Yang Rui said: "You still have a long way to go!"

Jesus said: "Perhaps. But..."

At this point, Jesus pointed to a ewe behind him and said, "She is about to give birth. I have taken one more step forward."

The two people soon arrived in Nazareth. The Herodian soldiers standing at the city gate stopped the two people. Seeing that Yang Rui was dressed in Jewish clothes, the soldiers did not bother him. Instead, they had dark skin and wore a pair of Egyptian straw sandals.

Jesus began to cross-examine.

The soldier asked: "Where are you from?"

Jesus answered honestly: "From Egypt!"

The soldier asked again: "Are these sheep yours?"

Jesus nodded and said, "Yes, fifty of them, I brought them from Egypt."

The soldier then asked: "Since you are an Egyptian, why do you come here?"

Jesus smiled and said: "I just grew up in Egypt. My parents and ancestors have always been Israelites. This time I returned to my hometown to settle down."

"You have to pay taxes when entering the city." The soldier looked at Jesus with disdain.

Jesus nodded and said, "It is natural to pay taxes. I heard about it on the way here."

After saying that, he took out the money bag from his robe and asked: "How much does it cost? Two copper coins? The Jewish shepherd told the price."

"Your tax is five sheep." The soldier smiled proudly.

Jesus was surprised and asked, "Why?"

The soldier said: "Because you are a foreigner!"

At this time, Yang Rui said to Jesus in Egyptian: "The tax to enter the city is two copper coins and five sheep? They are robbing."

"Why don't you want to give it?" The soldier said, holding a dagger in his hand: "If you don't give it, don't enter the city."

Jesus took a deep breath and said kindly: "Okay, you can take five sheep, but I will live here from now on and have to go out of the city to graze every day. You can't ask me to bring five sheep into the city every time."

Pay taxes."

As soon as the soldier heard that his blackmail was successful, he hurriedly called his companions to remove the five sheep. Faced with Jesus' words, he said impatiently: "I am on duty here every day, and I know everyone who lives in this city.

, if you really lived here, I would also know you."

Jesus nodded and said, "This is best. Thank you, those five sheep are yours."

After the two people walked into the city gate, Yang Rui asked: "Are you indifferent to this? They are obviously blackmailing you."

Jesus said: "Look at that soldier. He was also born poor. His family may not be as rich as mine. My loss of five sheep is nothing. Maybe they can have a feast and be happy after getting five sheep. Why shouldn't I be like this?"

What about work? Besides, my goal is to live here, and I should make the necessary sacrifices. You should not be troubled by this."

After hearing this, Yang Rui nodded, secretly happy in his heart: "This fool is the person I am looking for. It seems that my choice is not wrong." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
