Tong Li's mind was buzzing, as if he blocked the male god's answer just now.

It wasn't until Tartarus put the phone back that Tong Li reacted and blinked: "Huh?"

However, Tartarus didn't mean to repeat his words again, and also didn't want to be surrounded by many humans at all, so he simply chose to pull Tong Li to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by an old man carrying a drawing board.

For the old man, Tong Li always has a respectful mind, but the dazzling sacred color wrapped around the old man made Tong Li reflexively re-wrap the divine power that had just been withdrawn, frowning She looked at him a little nervously.

This color and this breath, Tong Li knows, this is Jehovah's family.

Although Tong Li has never met Yahweh, he has met the angels under him once or twice, and he can recognize the aura of this old man at a glance.

Definitely not human.

No matter how pious the human faith is, the divine power in the body cannot be so strong, not because of anything else, simply because the soul of ordinary human beings can't bear it.

Tong Li looked at the old man with doubts on his face.

The divine power of Jehovah is full of soothing and calming power, and this old man seems very easy-going.

Tong Li looked at the male god, and found that the male god didn't seem to be impatient, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Yes." The old man looked at them with a smile, took off the drawing board and stand on his back, and said, "I want to draw a picture for you."

Tong Li was taken aback.

Tartarus looked at the old man thoughtfully.

Tong Li tugged at the male god, but he wasn't worried that someone would do something through painting. After all, although Yahweh was a bit cold, he was actually quite a decent person.

Of course, it was also because no matter how strong the gods were on this old man, it was incomparable to a real god.

And Tong Li also wanted to leave some souvenirs with the male god, a painting is much more emotional than a photo.

Seeing Tong Li's hidden desire, Tartarus nodded indulgently.

Seeing this, the old man put down the toolbox he was carrying, and made little by little what he needed.

"You look fine." His voice didn't sound hoarse like an ordinary old man's, it was low and soft, like a whisper, but it could be heard clearly.

Tong Li smiled at the words of this very friendly old man, stood behind the drawing board and looked around, "Do we need to pose?"

"No need." The old man shook his head, with a wishful smile in his eyes: "I'll give it to you as a souvenir, the most memorable scene just now."

Tong Li was taken aback for a moment, pursed his lips, and managed to suppress the heat on his face.

The most worthwhile scene to record was, of course, when he confessed his love.

What to do, shyness comes too fast like a tornado!

some can't resist////w////

"I can draw very quickly, just talk to me." The old man took out a pencil and sharpened it a little bit, and said, "I know you."

Tong Lien said, no surprise, if you don't know him, why stop them on purpose.

And the crowd who watched them just now did not see such a profound person as Shenjue.

"My name is Abel." The old man said, he dug out another portable stool out of nowhere, motioned Tong Li to come over and sit down, and completely ignored the dangerous gaze cast by Tartarus, who was always some distance away from them. It's like I didn't see it.

Tong Li felt that the name sounded familiar, and sat on the stool in a daze for a while before suddenly realizing, "Ah! You belong to Cain..."

"Yes." Abel put all the pen scraps into a plastic bag, nodded, and admitted the guess in Tong Li's unfinished words.

Tong Li frowned immediately, "Did you come to me and tell the Lord God?"

"Whether you say it or not, God knows it all." Abel began to draw shallow lines on the white drawing paper, "I came to you because I wanted to tell you a story."

Tong Li first made a pause gesture, reached out to Abel's toolbox and pretended to pick up something, directly brought a low stool from his room, pulled the male god to sit beside him, and then turned to look at Abel, Pretend to be listening.

Abel didn't mind either, and watched him finish all this with gentle eyes, with a little envy and unknown regret in his eyes.

Tong Li is not interested in asking people's gossip, but he doesn't refuse people who come here to tell him.

While sketching, Abel spoke eloquently.

The story is actually very simple, everything happened in the Garden of Eden in the early days.

Adam and Eve paid great attention and attention to their upcoming first child, and they named him Cain with great anticipation.

Cain means "get".

From the name, we can clearly see their hopes and expectations for Cain.

As their firstborn, Adam and Eve hoped to instill in Cain all the virtues that God had taught them.

However, the facts disappointed them very much. Cain seemed to be born lacking a certain part of cognition.

Cain is actually a very good child. He has the virtue of hard work, but he doesn't understand dedication.

Cain was also godless, and he did not expect the pleasure and praise of the gods.

In other words, he used to look forward to it, but every time he made offerings, facing God's indifferent attitude, he lost his anticipation.

Adam and Eve were very sad that the children they valued and sacrificed so much to raise had let them down.

By the time Eve became pregnant for the second time, they were so disappointed by Cain's upbringing that they named their soon-to-be second child Abel.

That is "void".

Adam and Eve didn't have any expectations for Abel, and the attention they paid to Abel was not even one-tenth of what Cain was born and grew up with.

They just keep repeating that they should respect and worship the gods, they should restrain themselves with virtues, and being accepted by the gods is correct.

They forbade Abel to get too close to Cain, because Cain was regarded as a failure in their eyes, a failure that was not accepted by God.

Even though Abel wasn't particularly valued by them, they still separated Cain from Abel, and they didn't want their eldest son to affect their second son at all.

Even if he is not taken seriously, Abel is a very well-behaved child.

He learned to worship the gods, and all the virtues that were instilled in him.

He is like the sunshine, the green grass with new sprouts, the giant tree trying to grow upwards, every part of Abel's body can see the vitality emanating from the soul.

He happily herds his livestock every day. He is curious about his elder brother who was abandoned by his parents on the other side of the Garden of Eden, but he is very obedient and does not take the initiative to look for it.

Abel is a very obedient and good boy.

This made Adam and Eve, who had experienced failure from Cain, very happy. They began to pay attention to Abel, and began to tell him more about what to do and what would offend God.

The life in Eden is very ordinary, but also very fulfilling.

Until one day, a sheep from Abel's flock got lost.

There are no beasts or thieves in the Garden of Eden. If there are no sheep, it must be lost.

Abel drove the remaining sheep back to the sheepfold, and began to look for sheep everywhere, full of distress.

Then he met Cain with a black face holding a ball of white lamb. Behind Cain was a ruined vegetable garden.

"No, I'm very sorry...! That's my sheep!" When Abel saw Cain for the first time, he knew who this person was and what his identity was.

Because Eden lived in only their family, he had no younger siblings, his parents met every day, and the only one who never met was his eldest son who was constantly belittled by his parents.

Abel was very nervous, his impression of Cain only came from his parents' words and deeds.

He wasn't sure if the elder brother his parents said would forgive him for his negligence in guarding the flock.

"Your sheep?" Cain turned his head to look at him and asked.

"Yes, yes!" Abel looked at the lamb, which seemed to have a leisurely posture and didn't feel pain even though its hair was being pulled, and was somewhat unexpected, but he was quietly relieved.

It seems that this brother is not as scary as imagined.

Cain looked at the nervous Abel, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Kill it."

Abel:! ! ! ?

"I lied to you." Cain looked at the wide-eyed Abel, smiled mischievously, kicked the lamb, and watched the lamb bouncing towards Abel, saying, "You are Abel. ? My brother?"

Abel nodded first, carefully carried the lamb into his arms, then raised his head and glanced at Cain, cautiously: "Deceit is a sin."

Cain snorted and waved at him impatiently.

Abel was a little surprised, because Adam and Eve told him that every time Cain was taught, Cain would always refute them in a rage, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Brother!" Abel plucked up his courage, looked at Cain who had already entered the vegetable garden and started tidying up, hugged the kicking lamb in his arms, and asked loudly, "Can I still come to you tomorrow? "

Cain paused, bent over and turned his head, with a surprised expression.

Then he thought for a while, and said, "Sure, but don't bring your virtues."

Abel automatically ignored the second half of Cain's words, and with a big smile on his face, he replied happily, "En!"

Then Abel has a little secret to keep from Adam and Eve.

He began to go to chat with Cain frequently, and occasionally he would bring a mature sheep that could be slaughtered. The two brothers lit a fire to roast the sheep with all kinds of vegetables that Cain had grown, eating happily and contentedly.

There is no day that makes people feel happier than having enough food and drink every day, and having a brother who can talk about everything.

It was bland, but both Abel and Cain were very satisfying.

Of course, Cain always complains about Abel's occasional virtue talk.

Adam and Eve faintly felt that there was something wrong with Abel, but Eve's pregnancy again made them ignore Abel's abnormality immediately.

Because Abel has already grown up, no matter how many things, they can no longer teach them.

So Abel simply asked to move to live on the other side of the Garden of Eden. Although Abel felt that the newborn brother and sister were also very important, emotionally speaking, he still liked Cain more.

After all, Cain, who had been with him for more than ten years, was alone.

And he also enjoys the care and love from his parents.

If Cain was left alone, it would be too lonely, not to mention that the newborn siblings can also have the care of their parents, and there is no need for him to do anything more.

Adam and Eve didn't think long, and agreed very simply.

Abel happily took his herd and moved to the next door to Cain. Since then, the two brothers have been very close and have been facing each other day and night.

Half a year later, Eve came to tell them with her big belly that it was time to worship the gods again.

The life in the Garden of Eden was unbelievably peaceful. After being accompanied by Abel, Cain even ignored the God who would come to the Garden of Eden after a while.

Abel was very happy. The last time God came to the Garden of Eden, he was still an ignorant baby and could not worship God with the most pious attitude. Now, he already has his own herd and his own family that can be dedicated to God. work.

"Are you happy?" Cain asked beside Abel who was staring at his herd frowningly and didn't know what tribute to choose.

"En!" Abel nodded, smiling brightly like a fire, "I've been looking forward to it, God."

Cain frowned, "What's so good about him."

"God has given us everything we have, the ground we tread on, everything we eat, the light we see, we..."

"Enough is enough." Cain interrupted him roughly, "Everything we have is obviously obtained by our own hard work, so why should we give it to him?"

Abel was taken aback, "Because these were originally given to us by God..."

Cain looked at his younger brother, "You think so?"

Abel nodded.

He doesn't think there is anything wrong with him.

"Then from tomorrow, you don't graze the sheep, and don't deal with the sheepfold, and I won't take care of my vegetable garden anymore." Cain said, "Let him give it out of thin air!"

The good-tempered Abel also frowned, "Cain, that's not the case. Those who love leisure and work hard will not be favored by God, so naturally they will not be bestowed by God."

Cain looked at him with a look of hatred.

Abel was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't understand where he was wrong.

Cain snorted heavily, flung Abel's face for the first time, and left him directly to return to his room.

Abel also felt that Cain's attitude towards God was really irritating.

Even though Cain has always been disrespectful to God, Abel felt that this was a matter of personal opinion. After all, Adam and Eve also said that Cain originally looked forward to every offering, but the offerings were never accepted. God has praised him, so he gradually became impatient and disgusted.

Abel felt it was all Cain's own fault.

Now that you know your offerings are not acceptable to the gods, why not replace them with other offerings?

So Abel did not go to Cain, and the brothers broke up for the first time.

And Cain and Abel, who have no experience of how to reconcile after a quarrel, after this breakup, followed by the Cold War.

Cain's complexion was getting uglier day by day, but Abel didn't seem to notice it. He hummed a song and went to herd happily every day. After returning, he just stared at his herd in a daze.

Occasionally meeting Cain's gaze, Abel felt chills on his neck.

It was a look full of malice and anger.

Abel hesitated for a few days, and finally decided to move back to live with his parents during the period before God came, so that he could inquire about what kind of offerings should be prepared to God.

What's more, it was obviously Cain himself who was wrong, so why would he look at him like that.

Abel also has a temper, so he simply moved away.

Cain exploded!

Abel actually moved away directly!

Just because of God!

Cain's face was gloomy, and he looked a little frightened.

The two brothers meet again, in the presence of God.

The aloof God was still bathed in the holy light, waiting for God's four people, Adam and Eve were considered to be calm, Cain's face was gloomy, and his eyes were always on Abel.

As for Abel, the moment he saw the divine light, his face flushed with excitement, his heart and eyes were full of that dazzling figure, and he seemed oblivious to everything around him.

Cain's face turned even worse.

Nervously and shyly, Abel offered his offerings to the god he had admired for a long time, with a pious posture, almost sinking himself into the dust.

Seeing Abel like this, Cain felt extremely uncomfortable.

And the God who has always been calm about Cain, this time it is beyond everyone's expectations, praising Abel's tribute, and even gently stroking the top of Abel's hair.

Abel felt as if he was suffocating with happiness.

Cain's tribute was still the same as in previous years. God's eyes passed by lightly, and he didn't say much.

He comes fast and goes fast.

Because of the inconvenient relationship, Adam and Eve also left after God left, leaving only Abel and Cain.

Abel looked at the empty table in front of him, where the tribute was taken away by God, and his face was still dreamy.

Abel got up from the ground, looked at the direction in which God was leaving, and said with longing, "I'm going to God's side!"

Cain went up a few steps and grabbed him, his eyes were sharp, and his tone raised a bit harshly: "I won't allow it!"

Abel was taken aback, he was in a particularly good mood after being praised by the gods, and simply forgot about the normal relationship with Cain, wondering: "Why?"

"You are mine..." Cain paused, "You are my younger brother, what are you doing with him!"

"I'm your younger brother, what's the conflict with Qushen?" Abel felt the pain in Cain's hand holding him, frowned and pulled Cain's hand off his wrist, loudly: "I'm going to !"

Cain's eyes were flushed, and he stared closely at Abel for a while, seeing him looking back at him without any fear, after a while, he suddenly laughed.

"Okay, if you want to go, go." Cain said calmly, even softly, as if he had never been angry at all: "Just wanting to go is not such a simple thing."

"Well..." Abel felt that he had convinced his elder brother, and Cain showed a big smile, "But I will try my best!"

Cain teased him: "How are you going to work hard?"

"Hmm..." Abel thought for a while, "Perhaps we should start by receiving God's praise every time?"

Cain sincerely expressed that the idea was good and could be implemented.

The two brothers returned home happily hand in hand, and Abel also moved back from his parents.

Cain began to teach Abel to paint and carve, and Abel returned poetry and singing.

Their relationship was closer than before, and Abel was very grateful for God's help—or if it wasn't for God's presence, Cain and him would probably have had a cold war for a while.

More than ten years passed, and Abel counted the days, seeing that the day when God descended again was approaching.

"Cain, Cain!" Abel ran to Cain's room with his painting in his arms, and picked up Cain who was lazily lying on the ground. painting!"

Abel couldn't wait to unfold the painting in front of Cain, and the thick drawing paper blocked Cain's suddenly deep gaze.

"How?" Abel's voice came from behind the drawing paper.

Cain looked at the painting carefully, took it over, fixed it on the drawing board, and beckoned to Abel, "Come and sit down, and modify it."

Abel sat down happily, bent down to pick up the brush they had always shared, and turned his head to look at Cain standing behind him, with beautiful stars shining in his eyes: "Tell me where I need uh..."

The sudden piercing pain quickly filled Abel's mind. He stared blankly at Cain who was smiling gently, and strength and something warm flowed out of his body.

"Good." Cain put his clean right hand on Abel's shoulder, bent down, and buried his head in his neck, "the pain will be gone soon."

The world in Abel's eyes began to flicker, and the distorted colors and world made him unable to distinguish what was what, except for the beautiful painting that was splattered with blood as clear and dazzling.

Cain's eyes were dark, and he stretched out his hand to cover Abel's longing gaze towards the protagonist, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

The story ends here.

Tong Li rubbed the goosebumps that appeared on his body.

He looked at telling this story calmly, just like Abel who told other people's stories, and felt that the two children of Adam and Eve were actually... quite changed.state.

"It's been a long time, and I've also gained a new life, and I'm with God." Abel smiled broadly, but he didn't have the vigor that he had back then, but he carried the spirit of a real old man. apathy.

But Tong Li knows that this face is definitely not what Abel himself looks like.

Probably just a projection of his heart and soul.

"He's just been lonely for too long, and he wants too much to possess the only thing he can have." Abel said.

The so-called only thing that can be owned naturally refers to himself.

"I know you've been doing a blood test recently... a vampire, and I also know that Cain has done a lot of evil during this period." Abel lowered his head and adjusted the color in his hand, stroke by stroke, gently falling on the paper, "But he After all, he is still my brother."

Tong Li turned his head to look at the expressionless male god who had listened to the whole story, and responded, "So?"

"I don't expect you to let him go. In fact, I would like him to continue like this." The brush in Abel's hand paused, "But I hope that when sanctioning him, don't make him feel too big. In other words, when he is not guaranteed to be captured and decides to kill him, give him a good time."

Now he has fulfilled his wish and went to the side of God, but Cain, who seems to have no pursuit at all, can only do so much.

Everyone knows that in the current situation, unless Cain himself did not commit suicide, it is impossible for him to be let go.

Looking at Abel's calm and gentle face, Tong Li felt a chill in his heart for some reason.

It's not that the family doesn't enter the house.

Whether it's Cain or Abel... sure enough, it's all changed.state.
