Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Ugh! I finally leveled up! God knows how many fishing rods I wore out, I was so sick of fishing, this level was so hard to go through!"

Bai Li sighed as he put away his fishing rod.

"We're out of customs! Without further ado, let's pack our bags and get ready to move!"

Eager to return to the matchbox, Bai Li took stock of her belongings and found that she had nothing at all, basically nothing except for that box of fish and garbage.

Of course, after fishing for so long, he also had other unexpected gains.

Besides the bamboo he wanted most, which was planted next to him and has now grown a new crop, he also acquired an enchanted book, Infinity I.

It's worth mentioning that there's also a pair of leather boots with Frostwalker II accessories.

Although it's not very useful right now, since the rivers and everything else have dried up, it's still incredibly cool!

He even built a separate pool specifically for playing... cough, experimenting with the results, which took him almost half an hour.

As for now, the boots are still lying in his backpack. The ones he's wearing now are leather boots he just caught, with less than half their durability remaining.

"Hmm, bring one set of grilled fish, that should be enough food! And the wood too. Oh right, I think we can't take the chicken!"

Bai Li looked at the white chickens in the coop with a worried expression. In the past few days, the original two chicks had grown up and had even reproduced twice.

There were about four big chickens and two little chickens.

After feeding them once, there were four chicks in the coop.

"No matter how you look at it, feeding these chickens is really easy. You don't even need to clean up their droppings or anything, and you can feed them whenever you want. They won't die anyway; at most, you'll just lose a few chicks, and they grow up really fast."

If only we had reins, we could just put them over their heads and pull them away.

Let's go to the village first and see if we can borrow some ropes so we can take the chickens with us.

After taking inventory, Bai Li closed the door, tugged at the door frame to make sure it was closed, and hummed a little tune as she walked out of the woods.

"We ordinary people are truly, truly happy today!"

Um, was the door properly closed?

Bai Li stopped, looked back at the matchbox not far away, hesitated for a moment, then returned to the door to confirm it again.

I couldn't resist; I just can't shake this habit.

First was the road leading to the water source. He walked this road almost every day, so he was very familiar with it. Bai Li practically ran and jumped all the way there.

The wind around him whipped against Bai Li's face. He loved the feeling of running freely; he wasn't tired, and he wasn't being looked at strangely by others.

It was a feeling of comfort he had never experienced under the high-pressure life he had before.

The main problem is that food is consumed a lot, but food is the one thing that's never lacking in Minecraft.

Since he needed almost no rest, Bai Li quickly ran to the edge of the water source, eager to share the good news with others.

However, to his surprise, the once bustling water source was now deserted, with only a few scattered people drawing water. They glanced at Bai Li and then lowered their heads to go about their own business.

Some animals were drinking water at the water source. They were very alert. As soon as there was any movement, they raised their heads. When they saw that it was a human, they lowered their heads again and continued to drink.

This is the only place the animals can find to replenish their water supply.

Among those people, Bai Li didn't even see a single familiar face, clearly indicating that these people fetching water were not from Liujia Village.

Perhaps they are from Zhangjia Village.

Liu Er had already told him what had happened before, which naturally included the feud between the two villages.

Liujia Village has a great village chief; it would be much more comfortable for me to live there.

He walked up to one of the men and asked, "Brother, could you tell me how to get to Liu Family Village?"

"Liu Family Village, young master, look, just follow this path straight ahead, turn left at the first corner, then right at the second corner... and then keep going straight until you see the first village, that's it." The man put down his carrying pole, cupped his hands in greeting, and said respectfully.

Perhaps realizing he had made things a bit complicated, he scratched his head and suggested, "If you didn't understand, sir, please wait a moment while I fetch the water, and I'll lead the way for you!"

What? How could I not find my way? This sounds pretty easy.

I can definitely do it!

Bai Li waved confidently, "Thanks, brother. No need for a ride, that's enough. I'm off!"

Okay, at the first fork in the road, go left, then go right, and keep going straight.

Uh, why is there no road? I went the wrong way, I'll go back and walk it again.

This doesn't seem right either.

I went to the wrong place again!

……

"Young master, please wait a little longer, there's only one bucket of water left." The man pretended not to notice Bai Li's embarrassed appearance and said casually.

"Ahem, well, I'm not in a hurry. You go ahead with your work, I'll just wander around a bit more." Bai Li chuckled, looking down at the flowing water.

Hey, these stones in the water are so big and round!

"Young master, are you perhaps curious about the wonders of this water?"

Bai Li turned his head and saw a woman looking at him with a smile on her face.

He's not curious; I'm the one who put this water in, and he knows exactly what it does.

Before Bai Li could shake his head, the woman eagerly continued, "Young master, this is a secret between our two villages. I'm telling you this in secret, but you mustn't tell anyone else."

"On this mountain live immortals! This water was released by the immortals of the mountain; it's water from heaven, flowing down from the sky, and it never runs out!"

Seeing Bai Li's constipated expression, she frowned and pulled over the burly man who was still fetching water: "Don't you believe me? Why don't you ask him and see if I'm lying to you!"

That wasn't all; the woman even tried to pull several other people from nearby over as well.

"No, I believe you, I believe you!" Bai Li dared not remain silent any longer and nodded hurriedly. The foundation for a three-bedroom, two-living-room house had already been laid under his feet. If he continued like this, he could live in a villa!

"Speaking of which, Liu Family Village is really lucky! They actually received the favor of the gods." The man sighed with emotion, "And they even put aside their grudges and were willing to give our village a portion of the fish and water bestowed by the gods."

"Young master, you're going to Liu Family Village to visit relatives, aren't you?"

"I guess so?" Bai Li thought of Liu Er and nodded slightly.

"I guessed so too. After all, someone as important as you wouldn't appear here without a reason," the burly man continued. "There's something I need to ask you, young master. Don't blame me for being presumptuous, but why don't you stay in Liu Family Village this time? It's much safer there than in the city, given the chaos of war!"

"That's right, that's right under the feet of a god! Even those cowardly soldiers who bully the weak wouldn't dare to act recklessly there!" the woman next to her added.

Bai Li hesitated, then nodded with a strange expression.

"it is good."

"Perfect timing, the water is ready, young master. Let's get going. Please come this way."

The burly man hoisted the carrying pole onto his shoulder. "Auntie, I'll be going now!"

"Alright, be careful on the road. I heard the yamen runners are coming to the village to rob us again, so stay out of the way!"

The burly man nodded, indicating that Bai Li could set off.
