After the two games, more than half of the participating teams have been eliminated, and the competition for the King and Cubs is becoming more and more intense.

In the kindergarten hall, the dean solemnly walked up the steps, took the much-anticipated teddy bear out of the glass dome, and placed it squarely in the center of the podium.Accompanied by his actions, the eyes of the children in the audience were like being attracted by a magnet, and all of them were firmly focused on his hands.

Yan Rongqiu glanced at Yan Xinxing, who was being held in He Zhu's arms, and saw that he was hanging two rows of thick long eyelashes, his big eyes were half covered, and he didn't know if he was dozing off or thinking about something small. mind.All in all, unlike the other kids, his mind wasn't on King Bear.

Yan Rongqiu frowned slightly, he suddenly felt that his son actually didn't like that bear as he said, and what he really wanted was not that bear at all.

(Christmas, what gift does he want to get?)

Turning his head in a daze, Yan Rongqiu looked back at the principal who was explaining the rules of the third game.Behind him stands a tall Christmas tree that almost touches the dome.There are many colorful lights wrapped around the canopy, like a handful of crushed rainbows, shining among the emerald green pine leaves.

At the top of the Christmas tree, there is a beautiful star of Bethlehem hanging high, and under the illumination of the crystal lamp, it ripples with dreamy golden halos.

That is the mysterious star that guided the three sages to find the birthplace of Jesus.

Yan Rongqiu silently stretched his hand into his pocket, and pressed the small box that had been in it for a day.

(People born on Christmas must be born lucky, blessed, and grow up with lots of love and expectations.)

"The map and adventure reminders of Shuangye Kindergarten have been distributed to everyone. The person who solves the puzzle first before midnight will be the final winner of this competition."

The dean gave an order: "Start!"

In the eyes of the children full of anticipation, the contestants of each family embarked on the journey with great ambitions - no exaggeration, it is really a journey.Shuangye Kindergarten is a small kingdom isolated from the outside world. Even with such a thick map, it is easy to get lost, let alone at night, and you have to rely on two legs made of meat to walk.

Yan Rongqiu has never wanted a crutch so much in his life.

With He Zhu's long legs, one step equals three steps of others.

Are you angry?

Raising invisible dog ears, He Zhu seemed to hear the resentment in Yan Rongqiu's heart.

So he stretched out his hand, "Do you want me to carry you?"

Yan Rongqiu: "... Hurry up and read the reminder."

As a result, they haven't opened the hint card yet, and many players around have already complained.

"What the hell is this?!"

"What kind of mystery is it that you can't understand it?"

"Is the kindergarten teasing us? Isn't there no clue at all?"

Unexpectedly, it would be the finale topic. Yan Rongqiu's interest increased greatly. He temporarily forgot the soreness of his old body. He leaned his head to read it with He Zhu, and saw three lines of text written on the card:

"tamamavantamyazatam

suramdamohusavishtam

mithramyazaizaothrabyo”

Since Yan Rongqiu and He Zhu were very prominent in the first two games and attracted a lot of attention, some people couldn't help but gather around them to ask for help:

"Do you have any idea now?"

"If you have any, can you share them?"

"Yeah, there are still two more puzzles. Let's brainstorm and help each other."

"Hmm..." Holding the card, He Zhu frowned and began to think deeply. After a while, he suddenly let out a long sigh.Amidst his perplexed sighs, everyone's hearts sank heavily.

"I'm really ashamed, I don't know." He Zhu shook his head helplessly, "This question is really too difficult, I feel like I'm going to fail the exam with you."

Yan Rongqiu watched coldly: Ah, it's interesting.

"Let's go." Pulling away from the crowd like a shadow, He Zhu took Yan Rongqiu's hand, "Let's go to the artificial lake first."

Yan Rongqiu glanced at the map in his hand, "Do you think the answer lies at the lakeside statue?"

"That's right." He Zhu explained to him as he walked, "The text just now means 'This is the powerful Mithra, the most powerful of all creations, and I offer it with wine.' From the Mithraic Hymn in the Zoroastrian Bible, the Avesta."

"And the statue by the artificial lake is exactly the imitation of the famous Mithra statue in the British Museum."

"look--"

Yan Rongqiu raised his head and looked along He Zhu's fingertips. There was indeed a majestic statue standing by the sparkling lake.A curly-haired man dressed as a Roman is piercing the bull's neck with a golden sword, and the moonlight has coated it with a layer of silver frost, which is very solemn and sacred.

"Mithra, the god of light, is one of the gods of the Roman state religion. His birthday is regarded by believers as the hope of spring. In order to attract more Romans to believe in Christianity, the early church chose this day as Christmas."

"It's really an appropriate topic."

He Zhu sighed lightly.He obviously solved the riddle successfully, but he was suddenly a little depressed.

Yan Rongqiu couldn't understand his emotions, so he just slightly raised his hand and touched his pocket unconsciously.

(Isn't someone born on Christmas day blessed and grown up with lots of love and anticipation?)

Approaching the statue of Mithra, I saw a red rose, a bowl of liquid and a card placed on the edge of the base.Yan Rongqiu picked up the small bowl fan and smelled it, "It's vinegar." Looking at the card again, the silver moonlight clearly reflected a line of words on it:

【Looking forward to the reunion in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth】

"Reunion... Does that mean something is missing and we need to find it?" Yan Rongqiu picked up the rose and looked at it, but it was just an ordinary flower.

"When Jesus was crucified, soldiers dipped a sponge in vinegar, tied it to hyssop and delivered it to his mouth. After tasting the vinegar, Jesus bowed his head and gave his soul to God." He Zhu paused, took the rose in Yan Rongqiu's hand, and slowly put it back beside the vinegar bowl, "And it is a symbol of the love of the Virgin Mary."

Yan Rongqiu let out a "hmm".He Zhu's voice was originally Shenyue, listening to him tell these obscure religious knowledge in the melting night, there was a wonderful atmosphere.

"Knowing so much, are you religious?"

He Zhu shook his head, "My mother is a very devout Christian."

"'Because we live in Christ and cleanse our sins through repentance, we are forever new creations.' This is what she said most often. She is very tolerant and never blames anyone."

The only one who can't forgive until death is herself.

"Continue to read the questions." He Zhu picked up the card.

"You are right in what you said earlier, 'Looking forward to the reunion in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth' is implying that we need to find the missing part."

"Vinegar refers to Jesus."

"The rose means Our Lady."

"The one who is missing is St. Joseph. The father of Jesus and the spouse of the Virgin Mary."

"It is said that although Mary has reached the legal age of marriage, she just wants to dedicate everything to the Lord. At this time, a voice said, let the local unmarried men bring a branch and put it on the altar, and the one whose branch blooms will be Mary. Leah's husband. When Joseph put the branch on it, flowers bloomed immediately, and a dove flew down."

"Another representative legend is the cane of St. Joseph. According to legend, whenever he did good deeds, the cane would bloom."

"So 'blossom' or 'flower' is the key to guide us to find St. Joseph?" Yan Rongqiu opened the map and took a closer look under the moonlight.

"Here." He moved his finger and pointed to a greenhouse botanical garden marked on the hillside. "Only here can have something to do with flowers and plants."

"Okay, let's go over and have a look first." He Zhu stood up and saw that Yan Rongqiu was still squatting there motionless like a little quail, "What's wrong with you? Did you find anything else?"

"No..." Yan Rongqiu glanced at him a little embarrassedly, "I can't seem to get up."

His legs go numb when he squats down, and his waist is still weak. As expected of Mr. Yan, he is in his 20s and has a body in his seventies and eighties.

"Don't help me." Yan Rongqiu pushed He Zhu's arm away, "I can do it myself, just take it easy."

As he spoke, he supported his knees with one hand, stabilized his waist with the other, and tremblingly pulled himself up from the ground——

Then, halfway through starting a business, Zhongdao collapsed.

Under He Zhu's nose, he sat up and fell down again, looking both natural and...natural.

In the mysterious atmosphere where silence is better than sound, Yan Rongqiu's face turned red from bottom to top.

Fortunately, He Zhu still kept his face calm, just bent down and handed him his palm.

"My foot seems to be sprained..." Yan Rongqiu's face became even more red. "You put me here," he stressed, "don't let my personal fault affect the game."

He Zhu didn't respond, took out the medicated oil for bruises from his pocket, squatted down, and rolled up his trouser legs, "Where?"

Yan Rongqiu lowered his eyes, "Here...probably." He raised his gaze a little, and saw He Zhu rubbing the medicated oil on his palm.

"The swelling is not severe, it will heal slowly." The medicated oil was fully rubbed away, and the air was filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance.He Zhu stretched out his hand and gently pressed his ankle, using his fingers lightly and slowly.

"Well."

Yan Rongqiu couldn't help but make a nasal sound, feeling embarrassed, so he pursed his lips pretendingly indifferently, and turned his head away.

He Zhu pretended not to see it, and felt that the man was just like a stubborn little old man, but because of the pain, his brows were slightly frowned, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet, but he was also a very charming little old man.

"All right."

He Zhu put the medicinal oil back in his pocket, turned his back to Yan Rongqiu, "You can't walk now, I'll carry you there."

After waiting for a while without any movement, he turned his head, just in time to meet Yan Rongqiu's face that was reddening brighter under the moonlight.

Watching him, He Zhu suddenly smiled softly.

"Mr. Yan, have you thought of some TV series?"

Yan Rongqiu: "..."

He Zhu: "Journey to the West?"

"..." Yan Rongqiu obviously took a deep breath, his cheeks puffed up, "That's why you are the second senior brother!"

He Zhu nodded his head as a matter of course, "Yes, then you are..."

Yan Rongqiu covered his burning red ears, "I can't hear you."

Gao Cuilan.

He Zhu shut his mouth and finished the words in his heart.

……

As a result, it still became like this.

Yan Rongqiu was lying on He Zhu's back, and the big black bird was carrying its round little white chirp, stepping up the ramp step by step under the dense tree shadows all over the ground.
