Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty
Chapter 26 Hope
Have the mountain immortals emerged?
Upon hearing what Liu Dexi said, the kneeling crowd shuddered and pressed their heads tightly to the ground.
Some of the bolder ones slowly raised their heads, glanced at the subject, and then quickly lowered their heads again.
"That's a Celestial Lord, but he doesn't even look as big as my son. He's quite handsome, though, but he doesn't look like a deity."
When one of the old women saw Bai Li's appearance, most of her awe faded, and she lowered her head and whispered to the person next to her.
"Exactly, to my eyes, he looks like a noble young master from some wealthy family. Look at that scholarly air about him, could he be a reincarnation of the God of Literature?"
"Stop talking, the gods are watching!"
"We're so far away, they probably can't hear us, right?"
Excuse me, I heard you perfectly clearly, you were practically shouting right into my ear.
Bai Li silently complained to herself.
"Village chief, I'm really not some kind of god. Everyone, there's no need to kneel, please get up!"
If we're not gods, should we kneel or stand?
The villagers looked at Liu Dexi, waiting for him to make a decision. When he stood up, they all stood up as well.
When the villagers stood up, Bai Li gasped.
They had been kneeling, their bodies covered by thin clothing, but now that they stood up, Bai Li could see them clearly.
The villagers in front of me were all emaciated, their thighs as thin as sticks, and through their open clothes, they were practically skin and bones, with their ribs clearly visible one by one.
Bai Li even suspected that if the wind were even slightly stronger, these people would be blown over.
Even though Bai Li had already considered the situation to be very serious, it was clearly no different from the situation of people in African war-torn countries.
This is famine!
Bai Li silently took out a wooden board and laid it on the ground.
Where did this wooden board come from?
When the villagers saw the wooden plank that had appeared out of nowhere, their discussions vanished instantly.
Yes, when someone says they're not a god, it's just a god being modest!
How could they have believed it so easily?
At this moment, all the villagers remained silent, not daring to make a sound, their bodies instinctively tense, standing ramrod straight.
Under the scorching sun, sweat streamed down their foreheads and into their eyes, but no one dared to raise their hand to wipe it away.
What is the immortal lord trying to do?
Bai Li quickly erected a four-meter-wide platform and asked Liu Dexi.
"Village chief, may I ask how many households there are in the village, and how many people there are in total?"
"Fourteen households, a total of fifty-four people."
He placed fourteen cod from his own space on the platform, each cod being half a meter long, filling the entire platform.
"It's a fish!"
"What a huge fish!!!"
They haven't seen any fish for a long time since the lake stopped flowing not long ago, not even the smallest ones, no bigger than a finger.
Suppressed gasps rose and fell, the villagers' throats bobbing as they stared at the fish on the platform, lost in thought.
If you eat this fish sparingly, along with some grass roots and wild vegetables, it can last for more than half a month.
Even your own children can eat some oily food.
Bai Li said, "These fish are for you, village chief, to distribute. Make sure every household gets one."
"From then on, I would put the same number of fish here every day at this time."
These are all for us, and we will continue to be given food in the future.
In other words, they no longer lack food?
At that moment, Bai Li's voice was like heavenly music, striking straight into everyone's hearts.
They wanted to laugh and cry, but the immortals were watching. They didn't want to lose their composure in front of the White Immortal Lord, fearing that he would abandon them.
"Immortal Lord Bai, are these all for us?"
Just as everyone was immersed in the bright future, Liu Dexi stepped forward and asked a question.
Just as Bai Li was about to say that it was a free gift and they didn't need anything from him, he saw the worry and fear on Liu Dexi's face.
Liu Dexi fears that if the villagers get used to this life of being waited on hand and foot, and it becomes a habit, one day their awe of Bai Li will disappear.
If Bai Li stops supplying, what you'll get isn't understanding, but insults.
Bai Li swallowed back the words that were about to come out, thought for a moment, and shook his head, saying, "Of course, this is only temporary, until your crops recover, and it won't be given to you for free."
He made seven more compost bins and placed them side by side on the edge of the platform.
"What you need to do next is fill these buckets with leaves and other plants. Liu Er will tell you the specifics in a little while. You don't need to fill them today."
This is already on the edge of the White Dawn World. The surrounding weeds and leaves grow very quickly, so collecting them is quite easy.
In this way, the synthesized bone meal can also produce enough wheat seeds. Once the area is large enough to cover the village, the seeds will be enough to feed the villagers.
The villagers were deeply grateful for Bai Li's request.
This is a fish that's half a meter long! They'd be willing to pay double the price, let alone seven boxes!
"Thank you, Immortal Lord! Thank you, Immortal Lord!"
The villagers knelt down again and kowtowed heavily to Bai Li, the sound so loud that it startled the birds resting in the trees.
I've already told you, I'm not a god!
Bai Li felt helpless, as if he had dug a three-bedroom, two-living-room house out of his feet. He gestured for Liu Er to go back, and then silently returned to the woods by himself.
At this point, it would be best to leave quietly. Seeing these people with snot and tears streaming down their faces, and knowing the suffering they were enduring, I realized they needed an outlet for their emotions.
After Bai Li's figure disappeared, the villagers could no longer contain their emotions and were now in chaos. Even Liu Dexi was in tears, immersed in his memories.
"Hahaha, great! We have food! My children won't go hungry anymore!"
"Waaaah, my second and fourth brothers, your lives are so hard! If only you could hold on a little longer, we could wait for the Immortal Lord to arrive!"
Some people were gesturing wildly, repeatedly thanking Bai Li, while others were laughing and then suddenly covered their faces and burst into tears.
After venting his emotions, Liu Dexi, still choked with sobs, smiled and said, "Alright, folks, today is a joyous day! Everyone, get ready, take this fish home and cook it; our children are waiting for us!"
