Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 12 Departure Ahead of Schedule

The two of them drank with peanuts for about half an hour.

During this time, Liu Dexi's two sons also arrived. At Liu Dexi's signal, they took a bench and joined him for a drink.

Perhaps he had finally let go of his worries, or perhaps he was a little drunk, but Liu Da slowly started talking, though he couldn't stop talking about his girlfriend more than twice a day.

"Hahaha, that Doctor Wang said that even the imperial physicians in the capital couldn't cure my sister's illness, and this medicine could only relieve her pain. But my son found this solution!" Liu Da took a sip of wine and happily picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth.

"Uncle, you don't know, the White Immortal Lord was holding a seed he took from the Immortal Rice and fed it to those two hens. The next moment, a chick, a chick that was already two or three weeks old, appeared out of thin air."

"And my son, hahaha, I always thought he was incredibly clever and would definitely amount to something someday. After spending time with that White Immortal Lord, I never expected that, you won't believe it, but the White Immortal Lord actually took him as his little brother!" Liu Dahong beamed with pride when talking about his son.

Of course, Liu Da didn't mention that his son originally intended to be someone else's servant, nor did he say that it was Liu Er who brought it up.

Adults all care about their image.

Liu Dexi nodded from time to time, agreeing with the sentiment.

Liu Da has been suppressing his feelings for too long these days, so it's good for him to vent. I'll just be a good listener.

The more he listened to this Bai Xianjun, the more he felt that he was a swindler who roamed the world, and he was very experienced. So he willingly tricked Liu Da out of his two chickens!

Taking on followers? He's probably trying to get something out of Liu Da.

After finishing the last drop of wine and seeing Liu Da off, Liu Dexi picked out a small piece of tobacco from his pipe, lit it, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "You should understand the general outline of what happened, right?"

"Yes, Father." One of the burly men nodded, rolling up his sleeves, his face full of anger: "This scoundrel, who knows where he came from, dares to come to our Liu Family Village to cheat and swindle people! He's utterly despicable! Tomorrow at daybreak, my brother and I will sneak over there and give him a good beating. He'll be lucky to escape with his life!"

"That's right, they even tricked Liu Da out of two chickens! How despicable!"

"There's no rush. Here's what I'm thinking: you've all seen Liu Da's current state. If we just drive that guy away like this, Liu Da might resent us if he finds out."

Liu Dexi looked at his two sons and instructed them word by word: "I will go with you tomorrow morning. I will make some marks along the way. You two follow behind, and when we arrive, if I make this gesture..."

He gestured with his hands in the air twice, then said, "You guys rush up there and catch him. Don't let him get away! Understand?"

"it is good."

"Understood, Father!"

Liu Dexi nodded, looked worriedly in the direction of Liu Dajia, and sighed deeply after a long while.

If there really are monsters, then it's always ordinary people like them who suffer. Besides, what kind of immortals live in the wilderness?

This is clinging to the last straw; they can't tell what's real anymore!

What if the person couldn't be saved...

Sigh, I hope Liu Da can pull through.

……

When Liu Da walked home, the cold wind blew on his face, and he sobered up halfway.

He tiptoed to the door, walked to the bedside, gently lay down, and looked tenderly at the other figure lying on the bed. He whispered, "Ye Lan, I'll take care of your illness tomorrow. You'll get better."

"You were drinking at the village chief's house, weren't you? You smell like alcohol." A familiar voice came from beside me.

"Ah, girl, you're awake."

"No, I just haven't been able to fall asleep."

"Go to sleep, you'll be better by tomorrow!"

Ye Lan didn't reply, but simply turned over and looked at Liu Da: "How many chickens did you sell?"

"I didn't sell the chickens at home. I was counting on them to lay eggs to sell! Why would I sell them?"

"I lie in bed all day with nothing to do, so I just listen to the sounds around me. I can hear everything clearly, so how could I not tell how many chickens there are? There's probably only one or two left! You promised me that nothing in the house can be sold anymore."

"Don't worry, girl, this really is the last time, trust me. Go to sleep, you'll be alright, everything will be better tomorrow."

"Do you remember that time we went to the sorceress? She jumped around the campfire and then jumped away a lot of coins from our house."

"This time it's different, Immortal Lord Bai really can heal you!" General Liu gently pulled Ye Lan into his arms: "Ye Lan, trust me one last time, I can't lose you, and neither can Liu Er and the others."

"Of course I believe you, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Ye Lan lowered her head, her mood becoming even heavier, and her body felt even weaker.

The next day, Liu Da got up very early. He hadn't had such a comfortable sleep in a long time, ever since his sister fell ill.

"Hey girl, what's wrong? Don't scare me!" Turning around, Liu Da saw his sister, who looked pained and kept muttering something.

He reached out and touched his forehead to check the temperature, only to find it was frighteningly hot.

"Damn it, how could her condition suddenly worsen at this time!" Liu Da whispered, only to hear his sister unconsciously muttering apologies and other nonsense.

He hurriedly ran to another room and woke Liu Er: "Liu Er, get up quickly! Your mother's illness has suddenly worsened. Go find the village chief now and ask him to bring the cow out in advance. I'll carry your mother on my back and get there in a bit! We need to find Bai Xianjun right away. Hurry, we're going to be late!"

"Ah! I'll go right away!" Liu Er jumped off the bed and rushed to the village chief's house without stopping.

Bangbang.

"Coming, coming, stop knocking!" Liu Dexi opened the door and saw Liu Er. He muttered with a hint of reproach, "It's Liu Er. Is it because of Bai Xianjun? But it's not even dawn yet."

"You're going so early, that White Immortal your dad mentioned probably hasn't even gotten up yet. Why are you in such a hurry? It won't make a difference if you wait a little longer! I'm an old man, I finally managed to fall asleep, and with you making such a fuss, I probably won't be able to sleep for a while."

"Huff...huff."

Liu Er, panting heavily, said anxiously, "My mother's forehead is burning up, and she keeps talking nonsense! Dad told me to come over first and ask Grandpa Village Chief to get everything ready. When he gets here, he'll go straight to Brother Bai's place."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Liu Dexi's slight dissatisfaction vanished instantly.
