Chapter 19: My Sheep Know My Voice
In the end, it was Anna herself who broke the silence first,
"Later, all the people who had received the Son of God for the night, and the daughters of the family became pregnant."
Liu Qibao wanted to say something, Zhong Yin reacted quickly, and first made a silent gesture with him, but still asked Anna to see it.
"The legends of the older generation are now impossible to determine whether they are true or false. In short, this result has led to a split among the people. ”
"How so?" Liu Kuanda was surprised.
"Everybody thinks differently. Some people think it's a great honor for it to happen, while others think it's a great shame. However, no one dared to touch the fetus in the womb, so the pregnant girl finally gave birth without any problems. It was also at this time that the originally united tribes began to break apart, and each of them left the place where they had lived one after another, whether it was a blessing or a curse. This is the first time that my people have been divided and migrated. ”
Hearing this, Tong Ling sighed heavily. Everyone looked at her, but they didn't say anything.
"But soon, the departed clansmen returned with their families." Anna continued.
"Everyone regrets it, it's better to be together." Zhong Yin said. I thought that this time my reaction was finally one step faster than Liu Qibao. Unexpectedly, Liu Qibao just shook his head.
"What's wrong? Then what you say is right. ”
Before Liu Qibao could speak, Ailu said first,
"Because of the angels."
Anna nodded.
"Why do angels hunt down God's children?" Zhong Yin was puzzled.
“! I don't understand that. Liu Qibao slapped Zhong Yin's thigh as he spoke, and then his hand didn't leave. Although Liu Qibao is still a ghost now, Zhong Yin secretly blushed.
"Our ancestors wanted to figure it out, too. Later, the clan pushed the original patriarch and several elders to risk their lives to go to the holy mountain to pray to the gods for an answer. ”
"Why risk death if you ask a question?" Liu Qibao leaned forward, Zhong Yin leaned his upper body against his back, and put his hands around his neck.
Before Anna could reply, Aru said,
"'For whoever sees me must die.'"
"Huh? What with what? Liu Kuan asked.
"For the God of my people has long pleaded with us that whoever enters the holy mountain will be put to death except those whom he has chosen. The verse that Aru just quoted speaks of a later agreement between God and another patriarch. ”
"What kind of god is so powerful?" Liu Kuan said.
"Actually, our gods treat our people very well." Hearing Anna say this, Zhong Yin pursed her lips, while the others didn't dare to say anything.
"I'm sorry," Mr. Liu said. "I just got in the way. Anna, do you say that the patriarchs and elders have found answers? ”
Yes, God did answer them this time. God said that the blood of God could not remain on the earth, lest man be like God. ”
Liu Qibao and the others looked at each other, Anna did not continue, and everyone stopped asking questions and interrupting for the time being.
"The blood of God is the genes of God." Aru suddenly spoke from the corner, startling everyone.
"Then why can't man be like God?" Liu Qibaoyuan asked with his eyes open.
"Tell me what you think." Anna said to Aru with a smile.
"There is a famous story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible."
"What? Barbita? Is Barbie the tower where the doll lives? ”
"There weren't Barbie dolls back then." Liu Qibao turned his head and said to Zhong Yin. The mouth almost kissed Zhong Yin.
"'Babel' is an ancient Semitic language that means to scatter and disrupt." Airu said.
"Scatter what? And what is it messing with? Liu Kuan asked.
"In fact, the fact that the hybrid of Babel and God remained on earth was a threat to God." Airu did not answer Liu Kuan's question directly.
Everyone pricked up their ears.
"Because the power of man can 'reach the heavens,' even God is not afraid."
"But that's not what God said to my ancestors. God said, "That power is not good for man, and if man has it, he will die." Anna finally spoke.
"But" Liu Qibao's mouth was fast, and Zhong Yin's hand was faster, covering his mouth from behind.
"And what about after that?" Liu Kuan asked softly.
"Our patriarch prayed that God would have mercy and not kill God and the daughters of the earth...... Born children. ”
"Did God answer?" Liu Kuan continued to ask.
Anna shook her head, "After the patriarch returned from the Holy Mountain, the opinions of the clansmen became even more divided. Some say that God's child will be sacrificed to God to appease God's wrath, while others would rather go away and be displaced than hurt the newborn baby. ”
"So you're really 'scattered.'" Liu Kuan made a comment.
Anna did not respond.
"After that, our branch became Enoch, that is, the protector and servant of the 'man of God.' Even as the blood relationship between the man of God and us grows farther and farther apart. ”
"This is inevitable, because God's children are scattered, and the 'God's genes' do not necessarily work in every generation."
"That's your explanation." Anna said.
"You never thought of abandoning your 'duty'?" Tong Ling, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked.
"Why abandon ancestral traditions and this glory." Lucia listened to the child's question and was even more surprised than Anna.
"Except for the reason Lucia said, whenever my people meet a true Godman, they will have a feeling of eagerness to follow, like the relationship between a sheep and a shepherd."
"'As long as it is my sheep, it will have my voice,' is a Bible verse." Airu said.
"Yes, but how many people know that this sentence is not the original invention of that god, but a proverb familiar to my people." Anna said.
"What about you? Do you have your shepherd's voice? Lucia turned to Aru, who bowed her head and said nothing.
"Perhaps the reason why you do not turn your back is because the 'man of God' is the only connection left between you and the God named Yahweh."
Anna didn't respond, and Lucia stopped talking. After a long time, Anna said,
"It's late at night, let the child rest early."
After saying that, he and Lucia served the three children and slept in the field. Anna comforted Machu for a few more moments, and the two of them rested peacefully. They didn't need to sleep, so they got together to discuss whether to stay or go. Staying is a teacher out of the name, but he can't bear to go, and finally Tong Ling said,
"Wait for them to get up tomorrow morning, and then ask them how they will behave in the future, we will try to help if we can, but we really can't help some of them."
Everyone understands it, so there is no objection. Just when he was speechless, Liu Kuan suddenly said,
"Chubby just informed me that Liu Qibao and Xu Qiang's avatars can be used."
"Why didn't you say it earlier." Liu Qibao complained.
"Who told you to interrupt all the time?" Liu Kuan said.
