Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

In the courtyard, the rooster crowed at dawn. Liu Dexi's wife got up early and was pounding chicken feed when she heard a creak at the door. She looked up and saw her husband, then lowered her head to continue her work.

"Old man, you're back! How is it? Is your illness cured yet?" she asked in a casual tone.

After receiving no response for a long time, she looked up.

Liu Dexi stood silently at the door, gazing at everything in the courtyard, looking as if he had lost his soul.

The ordinary daily routine, everything that had just happened, felt like a dream, but the feeling of lightness in his body constantly reminded him that this was not a dream.

Immortals truly exist!

"What's wrong with you? Are you possessed? You haven't said a word since you came back." The old woman stood up, picked up a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and walked forward with concern.

"Liu Da's wife's illness has been cured, and the water source needed by the village has also been found," Liu Dexi murmured.

"Oh my, that's wonderful news! You've been so worried about the water these past few days, you've even smoked several rolls of tobacco. Now that we've found it, why the long face?" The old woman was initially delighted, then frowned and cautiously asked, "But what valuable thing will you exchange it for?"

"Or are the terms of the exchange still unacceptable?"

"No, quite the opposite. It was given away for free without any cost."

"Hey~ why are you looking so worried? Tell me what you think, and I'll give you some advice!"

Liu Dexi shook his head; the devastating scene lingered in his mind, impossible to forget.

He also understood why, despite the suffering in the world, no immortals had ever come to the rescue.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Even someone as powerful as Immortal Lord Bai would face enormous limitations if he descended from the heavens, which could even lead to the destruction of the world!

Perhaps even Bai Xianjun paid an unpredictable price for descending from heaven.

He still remembered what Liu Da had said: when Bai Xianjun first came down, he was unarmed and almost got bitten by wolves.

"Lord Bai is truly a wonderful deity!"

"Old man, what's wrong with you? You've been acting strangely ever since you came back. Could you really be possessed? Tell me, I'm so worried! I have to go get that string of Buddhist prayer beads that the master blessed." The old woman hurriedly took the prayer beads out of the house, intending to put them on him.

Unexpectedly, Liu Dexi did not resist and let the old woman put it on his hand.

Doesn't the old man not believe in these things?

The old woman was puzzled, but she figured it was fine as long as she put it on, lest he take it off if she asked him.

"There's some cooked porridge inside, it should still be warm, let me get it for you."

Liu Dexi nodded, went into the house, sat on a stool, and began to drink the thin porridge.

I feel like I've forgotten something? It seems pretty important, but I can't remember it.

There's also a sense of foreboding. What could it be?

"Dad, we're ready! When are we going to beat that swindler up?"

puff.

Liu Dexi was so shocked that he coughed repeatedly, and cold sweat poured down his back.

The bowl in his hand lost its balance and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces scattered all around.

"Hey, old man, how could you be so careless? Are you hurt anywhere?" the old woman asked with concern.

Oh no? How could I forget about that? Oh no!

He didn't care about anything else and rushed out the door in a panic.

"Dad, you're out! Look at this stick I've got, I'll beat that swindler until he's begging for his mother!"

Snapped.

Liu Dexi jumped up and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Dad, why did you hit me? Weren't we going to beat up the swindlers?" The burly man who spoke looked aggrieved.

"Still talking? Still talking? Hit me? I'll let you hit me. Did I say I was going to hit you?"

"I already told you! You asked Second Brother, he heard it too. Hey, Second Brother, why did you throw away the corn?"

"Don't look at me, I didn't hear anything!"

"Second Brother?"

"You unfilial son, you unfilial son!" Liu Dexi slapped the back of his head twice more, then bowed in fear in the direction where Bai Li was.

"Immortal Lord, please forgive us! Yesterday, we were unaware that you had descended to the mortal realm. We only thought someone was trying to trick Liu Da, which is why we resorted to this desperate measure. Please forgive us, Immortal Lord!"

Seeing that there were no cracks, Liu Dexi felt a little more at ease.

"Let's leave this matter at that. In a little while, call all the villagers over and tell them that you have something very important to tell them."

The burly man was about to say something when his second brother stopped him, and he reluctantly nodded.

"Okay."

"Remember, don't mention what happened before again. Otherwise, even if your mother tries to stop you, I'll break your legs!"

The two left in a daze, and on the way, the burly man couldn't help but complain.

"Second brother, why did you say you didn't hear me?"

"I don't want to get beaten by my dad, it's that simple."

"What's wrong with Dad? It's only been one night, why is he suddenly not going? And he wants us to gather the villagers, isn't that strange?"

"I think it might be related to that scammer."

"You mean, Dad got scammed too? Damn it! Second brother, don't stop me, I'm going to give him a good beating!"

"Can you find it? And haven't you noticed anything unusual about Dad?"

"Abnormal?" The burly man scratched his head, tilted his head and thought for a long time before chuckling.

"Doesn't our dad have some kind of leg problem? Look at how he hit you just now, does he look like he has a problem?"

"You mean, that's not a scammer?"

"Who knows? Let's call all the villagers over and see what Dad's up to. Maybe then we'll find out!"

"Too."
