Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

As the village chief, he knew better than anyone else about the current situation of Liujia Village.

As early as a week ago, the groundwater in all the surrounding villages, including Liujia Village, had nearly dried up.

The well in the village, which was originally bottomless, is now only a shallow layer of water.

These days, there isn't enough water for the villagers' daily needs, let alone for irrigating crops.

The harvest has already been decreasing year by year, and if the crops are not watered, all the crops in the village will wither and die.

The source of this freely flowing water before him, the water that the person called Bai Xianjun had placed there, showed no sign of being consumed.

Could this be an illusion?

Liu Dexi dared not touch the source of the water, fearing that it would pollute the water. He only dared to carefully reach out to the very bottom of the water and probe it shallowly.

The gentle sensation of the water filled his wrinkled arms.

Without any hesitation, he scooped up a puddle of water and put it in his mouth.

The sweet taste, like that of a mountain spring, filled his mouth, and Liu Dexi immediately understood.

This is truly life-saving water; it's drinkable and good for irrigation!

The village's crops are saved!

But how could I possibly begin? How could I speak to that young-looking deity?

Offering sacrifices? We just paid taxes not long ago. The village is dirt poor, and there's nothing of value left.

They couldn't even gather the three sacrificial animals needed for the offering.

Human sacrifice was even more impossible; he couldn't explain it to the villagers.

Of course, if it were just this old geezer himself, he could face death peacefully.

Seeing Liu Dexi's anxious expression, Liu Er said in a low voice, "Don't worry, village chief, I know how important this matter is. I will talk to Brother Bai about it after he cures my mother's illness."

Brother Bai, Brother Bai?

Liu Da's drunken words from yesterday resurfaced in Liu Dexi's mind.

Yes, how come I didn't think of that?

And there's Liu Er too!

Liu Dake dared not lie in front of the immortal.

In other words, this matter is most likely true.

For Liu Er's sake, perhaps if I just bring him a little water, the village will have a source of water.

Moreover, the immortals are incredibly insightful and might have already foreseen the predicament the village faces.

"That's great, that's great!" Before he knew it, tears had filled his eyes.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he looked at the boy in front of him with satisfaction.

"Child, it's good that you have this intention. However, as the head of the clan, I should be the one to ask for help."

Liu Er is still young and doesn't understand many things.

Liu Dexi was already quite satisfied with what he had said. He didn't want to ruin Liu Er's impression on Bai Xianjun and jeopardize his opportunity because of this.

After all, asking for favors repeatedly, even if the other party doesn't care, will eventually become annoying.

This is human nature.

"Let's go in and take a look."

……

Um, how should this milk be consumed?

Bai Li tried to draw milk from the leaves, aiming it at Ye Lan who was lying on the leaf, and silently recited the instructions.

The milk in the metal bucket remained completely still.

Clearly, this approach won't work for others.

He took a wooden bowl out of his backpack and scooped the milk out of the iron bucket.

This is a maneuver that wouldn't happen in a game, but judging from the results, it's clear that it's feasible now.

The thick milk sloshed in the wooden bowl, but the volume of milk in the iron bucket remained unchanged.

"Give this to your wife."

"Okay." Liu Da quickly took it, helped his wife up, and poured all the milk in the wooden bowl into her mouth.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

The milk in the bowl was quickly emptied, and Bai Li observed Ye Lan's changes.

Milk's ability to clear negative effects is immediate, meaning that if it works, even if Ye Lan's body doesn't fully recover, her illness should be cured.

As expected, this method does not allow the milk to achieve its full effect.

Calm down, Bai Li, you can do it.

Looking at Ye Lan, who was becoming increasingly weak on the leaf bed, Bai Li felt a little nervous.

This was the first time someone's life had been completely entrusted to him; it was impossible not to be nervous.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

In that case, we'll just have to try drinking it all.

Geji.

The wooden door opened, and Liu Er and Liu Dexi tiptoed into the room without saying a word, standing five steps away, afraid of disturbing Bai Li.

"Sister-in-law Ye, during the next treatment, if you feel any discomfort, please raise your little finger, okay?" Bai Li asked.

Ye Lan nodded weakly.

He lifted the whole bucket of milk and brought it to Ye Lan's lips.

When the milk touched Ye Lan's lips, Bai Li didn't need to adjust the angle of the iron bucket; the liquid inside flowed upwards along the bucket wall.

A short while later, all the liquid inside flowed into Ye Lan's throat.

Throughout the entire process, Ye Lan did not show any signs of pain. On the contrary, as the milk decreased, her expression softened.

In the end, his complexion was actually healthier and rosier than Liu Da's.

When she had fully recovered, the drowsiness from not sleeping for several nights swept over Ye Lan's brain.

She forced her eyes open and said gratefully to Bai Li, "Thank you, Immortal Lord Bai."

"It's nothing, don't mention it." Bai Li was very satisfied to have saved someone.

Ye Lan turned her head and smiled gently at Liu Da.

The next second, his head lolled to the side, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Sister, what's wrong, sister?" He turned to Bai Li, his face full of anxiety: "Immortal Lord Bai, how is my sister now?"

Oh my god, what's going on? Could it be that the milk didn't work and the person couldn't be saved? Should we try the golden apple again?

But I don't have any gold! Damn it, I should have gone down into the mine a little longer and prepared some crude gold.

But you can't dig without a pickaxe.

We haven't mined enough!

Seeing Ye Lan suddenly tilt her head to the side, Bai Li's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't worry, Liu Da, your sister is cured. She's probably just too tired and asleep," Liu Dexi said.

He had lived a relatively long life and had seen many people recovering from serious illnesses, so he could naturally deduce the current situation.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that Liu Dexi has completely believed that Bai Li in front of him is a deity descended to earth.

Saving lives, even those who are seriously ill, is difficult for ordinary people, but this is a divine being.

The person was finally saved.

Bai Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no doubt that milk can detoxify, but whether disease counts as a kind of poison or a negative effect is not so certain.

Who is this old man? Could he be Liu Er's grandfather?

He knew the little girl well; she was Liu Da's third child.

Given the urgency of the situation, he didn't ask any further questions, as lives were at stake.

The person has now been saved.

He naturally needed to find out the identities of these two people.

"Sir, are you Liu Er's grandfather?"
