Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Tomorrow, will Immortal Bai have time tomorrow? Only the village chief has cattle. I'll ask him if he can sell us some when we get back."

"Okay, then let's do it tomorrow morning. Um, Uncle Liu, you don't need to call me Immortal Lord Bai, just call me Bai Li."

"Yes, Immortal Lord Bai."

"...Never mind, but we don't need to buy the cow. It would be best to borrow it if possible. My method won't harm the cow."

"Yes," Liu Da said, cupping his hands in greeting.

I knew it would be like this.

Bai Li looked at Liu Dazun's respectful expression with utter helplessness. He glanced at Liu Er and nodded slightly.

This time he seemed pretty much the same as usual, except he was looking at me anxiously, wanting to say something but hesitant to speak. It was quite interesting; he probably wanted to go back and borrow some cattle.

Since that's the case, let them go back early, and I can also try out the fishing rod.

"Then you should go back early, and don't forget to bring the patient and the cow with you tomorrow."

"Yes, Immortal Lord Bai, I shall take my leave." Liu Da said, cupping his hands and slowly retreating.

"Brother Bai, I'll be going now."

"Okay, come early tomorrow, I'll treat you to grilled fish!"

"Okay."

Only after Bai Li disappeared from sight did Liu Da breathe a sigh of relief, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upwards.

My son has found a divine brother, and now my sister is saved too! How wonderful!

"Second brother, what does the White Immortal Lord usually like to do?"

"Dad, you even tried to lock me in the room before, and you hit me too. I'm not telling you, hehehe (～￣▽￣)～"

"This is my fault, I will punish myself." He said, and was about to slap himself in the face, but Liu Er quickly stopped him.

"No need, Father, I forgive you. Brother Bai is usually like..."

"Yes, and the wheat too. It shouldn't be this small at this time of year. Is there something special about it? I'm curious, tell me about it."

"That's right, that wheat is really something..."

The two walked home with light steps, chatting and laughing.

……

Place the ball of yarn into the worktable and break it down into smaller strands.

Then they added a wooden stick, and together they created a fishing rod.

"Let's build a fishpond first. Although you can fish even with just one block of water, it's not fun to catch fish without casting a line."

First, dig a 2x2 hole, fill it with water, and then extend it outwards until it reaches a 4x4 size.

"Alas, let's begin fishing!"

Bai Li cast his line, and the float hovered above and below the water's surface. Unlike in the game, ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement.

However, he was not in a hurry; the fisherman has no shortage of patience.

Perhaps it's because there are no fish in the water that fishing takes longer.

Bai Li sat down on the ground and waited quietly.

A few more minutes passed, the lake surface rippled slightly, a gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if adding a touch of life to this tranquil moment.

The flowers and plants around him exuded a faint fragrance, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Bai Li felt the tranquility and harmony of nature, which calmed his heart and filled him with more patience.

So this is what freedom feels like!

Time passed quietly, and Bai Li's wait was not in vain. Suddenly, the float moved slightly, then sank rapidly, and he instantly tightened his grip on the fishing rod.

"Haha, it's on the hook!" Bai Li put away his fishing rod, and a cod jumped into Bai Li's backpack.

"Good, it really works! Now I'm free to fish! Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll catch some treasure. Ideally, I'll get an enchanted book, or better yet, an Efficiency Book, or even the Blessing of the Sea."

"Drop the hook!"

"Okay, another cod. One more!"

Pufferfish? Again.

No way, a wooden stick? What use would I have for this?

A wooden bowl? No, let's try again.

……

Inside the village chief's house.

"Liu Da, are you saying that the monster you encountered that day was actually a deity, and that he said he could cure your sister's illness? Is that what you mean?"

Liu Dexi stroked his graying goatee, coughed lightly, and reiterated what Liu Da had just said.

"Yes, village chief. As you know, our cow was sold not long ago because of my sister's illness, and now my uncle is the only one in the village who still has a cow, so I was wondering if I could borrow it for a day."

Since Liu Dexi seemed hesitant, Liu Da gritted his teeth and said, "If you really have difficulties, then I'd like to sell your cow and use my family's land instead."

"Sigh, Liu Da, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but do you really know that guy's background? What if he's lying to you?"

Liu Dexi tapped the tobacco in his hand on the steps, then put it in his mouth and took a deep drag.

Even if Liu Da told him now that he needed to sell the ox to get some money for emergencies, Liu Dexi would give the ox to Liu Da without saying a word.

But now Liu Da actually told him that he wanted to use this cow to treat his sister's illness.

It's still with a deity.

How is that possible?

In recent years, the drought in their area has become increasingly severe, with almost half a month without rain. If gods really exist, how could they allow this situation to occur?

I've lived most of my life, and when I was young I traveled to many places and witnessed some tricks, such as putting iron hands into boiling oil.

A deity descending to earth? Perhaps someone is just playing tricks.

From the very beginning, he didn't believe Liu Da's story about some kind of monster, thinking that Liu Da was just overthinking it.

I didn't take it too seriously.

But Liu Damian now completely believed the nonsense that person was spouting, and if he refused...

If the person blames him for all the mistakes, then he himself will be unable to defend himself.

But if you borrow a cow, losing the cow is a minor issue; the real problem is if the person doesn't survive.

It's uncertain whether Liu Da can withstand this final straw.

Hey,

This is difficult, very difficult!

"How about this, Liu Da, I can lend you the ox, but I'll be going with you tomorrow."

"Want to go together?"

"Yes, a celestial being has descended to earth, so naturally I, as the village chief, want to go and meet him."

"If that White Immortal Lord comes to question us, just say that the ox is afraid of strangers, and if I don't go, I won't be able to pull it over. What do you think?"

Hmph, what if I see through his tricks?

If the person is rescued, then everything can be peaceful, but if...

Although I am old, I still have two sons!

"Alright, that's settled then. Please keep the wine and meat, I'll head back now."

"You're still so clumsy. You don't need a little more time, stay and have a meal before you leave, what's the rush?"

Liu Dexi stood up and pressed Liu Da back into the chair.

"You've been so busy these days, it's tiring just watching you. It's rare for you to have time to come over and have a few drinks with me! Wait here, I'll go get some wine. Don't even think about running away, or I'll come to your house for a drink!"

After persuading Liu Da to stop, Liu Dexi walked out the door with a smile, but his face suddenly darkened. He went to his wife and said, "I have something urgent to tell my two sons later. Please do me the trouble and call those two boys over."

"Okay, I'll go right away." The old woman didn't ask any more questions, but simply put down what she was doing and went to find her two sons.

Liu Dexi walked to a small house nearby, took out the last jar of wine, lifted a corner of the bag containing peanuts, scooped out a spoonful of peanuts, and returned to Liu Da's room: "Come and try my good wine, freshly dug from the ground!"
