Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

The next morning, before the rooster crowed and just as dawn was breaking, Liu Ping, sporting dark circles under his eyes, carefully picked up the stone hoe that was padded with a sheet on the bed and went out.

Since receiving the straw hat's approval from Bai Lina yesterday and being given a stone hoe, Liu Ping was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He spent the entire night grinning foolishly at the stone hoe.

Along the way, Liu Ping encountered villagers who were also wearing straw hats, and all of them had panda eyes.

"These torches are so bright!"

Upon arriving at the designated planting area, the villagers were dumbfounded, and some even boldly reached out to touch the flickering flames.

"Huh, this flame isn't hot to the touch!"

"Really, I'll try." Seeing this, the people around also curiously reached in, and the flames, like tamed wild beasts, obediently lowered their heads, letting them touch them.

"That's amazing!"

"Stop playing around, we need to get to work, we can't be late." Liu Ping walked into the field and began to demonstrate.

After that, they divided the wheat seeds that Bai Li had distributed and began to plant crops.

"Hahaha, you guys are too slow! I've already planted five celestial wheat plants."

"Just you wait, I'll catch up with you soon!"

As they gradually became more skilled, they even started joking with each other, as if farming had become a fun activity for them.

In this atmosphere, they quickly planted all the seeds they had.

"That's all! So fast?" One of the villagers licked his lips, still wanting more, and asked, "Do you have any left? Can you share some with me?"

"That's all."

"I'm gone too!"

Although they were exhausted, everyone felt a surge of excitement looking at the cultivated land before them.

It ripens in seven days at the latest; imagine how much wheat that will yield!

After finishing his work here, Liu Ping hurried home. He needed to put down his hoe as soon as possible so he could meet at the place designated by the immortal.

Liu Ping was the best fighter in the village, so he was naturally indispensable in the trip to the city.

"I really envy Liu Ping; he gets a share of all the good things. I also want to do my part for the Immortal Lord!"

"But we're not doing badly either! Now that we've finished planting, let's go back and put our hoes away so we don't bump into them. What do you all think?"

"good!"

……

"Liu Ping, are you going too?" Bai Li asked suspiciously. "You just finished planting, do you still have the energy? And your hat is quite conspicuous!"

Bai Li knew about this because he happened to see a straw-hatted villager carrying a hoe returning to his house on his way there.

"Don't worry, I found this hat last night. As long as I think about it disappearing, it disappears. See, young master." As he spoke, the straw hat on Liu Ping's head indeed disappeared.

"I'm incredibly strong, and I'm the best fighter in our village. Normally, three people can't take me down!"

Bai Li turned to look at the others, and seeing that they all nodded in agreement, she said nothing more.

But Liu Qi doesn't seem like a capable fighter.

"Young Master Bai, this team is still missing a mouth!" Liu Qi hurriedly said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Indeed, there needs to be someone who can speak well; the village chief is very thoughtful.

Bai Li took out the stone sword from her backpack and distributed them for the children to try: "How is it? Can you swing it?"

"I think it's alright!" Liu Ping took the stone sword, weighed it in his hand for a few moments, and then handed it to the next person.

"No, it's too heavy!"

The others could only hold out for a minute or two before their faces turned red.

So Bai Li made several wooden swords and gave them to the remaining people, and then took out the leather boots he had caught from his backpack.

Although it is just a wooden sword, its sharpness is incomparable to that of an ordinary iron sword.

"Wear these for self-defense. Once you've bought what you need, don't linger. Come back quickly," Bai Li instructed. "But if possible, before you buy anything, see if you can bring a scholar back with you."

The villagers are skilled at working, but they are too busy making a living to pay attention to things outside the village. However, when asked about the current dynasty and who the emperor is, they are completely clueless.

If it weren't for the new emperor's coronation ceremony being announced to the world, some people in the village would barely know that the current era name is Tianqi.

However, the exact year is unknown.

This matter needs to be clarified so that Bai Li can know how much buffer time is left before the peasant uprising breaks out.

While I'm at it, I'll see if I can switch to being a librarian.

"We don't need to."

"Uncle, you and Tieshan are in charge of providing backup. Wherever Tieshan stops, you wait for them there." Bai Li nodded and then said to Liu Da.

On the way there, he asked Tieshan for help, thinking of having him escort him all the way, since it was questionable whether an ordinary person could withstand a single blow from an iron golem.

But it cannot leave the world, otherwise it will disappear. This is what Bai Li asked by nodding and shaking his head.

Therefore, they could only send him to provide support at the edge of the world. As for Liu Da, he was one of only two archers in the village, and he also had to be sent out to cover Liu Ping and the others.

After watching Liu Ping and the others leave, Bai Li asked Liu Er with a mysterious look, "Liu Er, have you had breakfast?"

Breakfast, I think, refers to the meal eaten in the morning, right?

They used to eat fish, but the harvest has decreased year after year. Now the villagers only eat one meal a day. They are afraid of being hungry and would rather hang the fish there than eat another meal.

Liu Er shook his head.

"That won't do, we still need to eat, ta-da!" Bai Li pulled out a long loaf of bread and handed it to Liu Er, "Try this, it tastes great!"

"What's this?" Liu Er took it. The bread was very soft, and his fingers sank into it, feeling as soft as touching a cloud.

"Bread! I told you before that I'd treat you to bread once the wheat has grown."

Bai Li took out another piece of bread and put it in her mouth to chew.

Hmm, it tastes similar to Daliyuan bread, but with a stronger wheat aroma. It's a pretty good snack.

He had kept the bread without tasting it, intending to share it with Liu Er now.

As for Liu Er, he carefully brought the bread close to his mouth.

The aroma of wheat and toasted bread enveloped Liu Er; it was the first time he had ever smelled such a fragrant food.

Take a gentle bite, and the bread melts in your mouth, the wheat grains seem to dance and leap, and the sweet aroma spreads throughout.

"How is it? Is it good?" Bai Li swallowed the bread in her mouth, looked at Liu Er who was standing there in a daze, and asked curiously.

Liu Er didn't answer, but just quietly stuffed the bread into his mouth.

Tears streamed down his cheeks, across his pockmarked face, and dripped onto the lush, newly grown grass.

This place should have originally been a cracked wasteland.

Why are you crying while eating?

Bai Li sighed inwardly, took out a bucket, scooped a bowl of water into it, walked to Liu Er's side, and gently patted his back.

This cannibalistic world.

After Liu Er finished stuffing the bread down his throat, Bai Li handed him the water: "Hey, have some water, don't choke."

"Boss, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it." Liu Er touched his face and forced a smile.

That smile was uglier than a cry.

"It's nothing, don't act like you've never cried before. Here, take this. It's not as good as the ones I've had before. As my follower, I'll eat the best parts, and you'll have to eat the rest that's not so good."

Bai Li shoved the half-eaten bread into Liu Er's hand: "If you don't eat it, you're not giving me face."

It's not that he's stingy; it's just that only six or seven wheat plants grew, which was just enough to make two loaves of bread.

"Boss, can I take it back? I want my sister and the others to try it," Liu Er asked.

"sure."

After Liu Er wrapped the dough and put it in the basket, Bai Li also put away the bucket.

"Alright, now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's go on an adventure! Let's see what new and interesting things we can find around us."

"Now, it's time for an adventure!"
