Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

The villagers gathered together according to their occupations and stood at the front of the procession, while those without occupations stood at the back, and laborers and militiamen stood on both sides.

They looked expectantly at Bai Li, who stood on the high place.

That was a platform that Bai Li set up before dark yesterday, so that people standing behind it could see it.

"Liu Ping!" Bai Li called out loudly.

"I'm here, I'm here!" Liu Ping ran up with a simple smile.

"You've made a great contribution to the village; this is my reward for you." With that, Bai Li took two torches and an apple from her backpack and handed them to Liu Ping: "This divine fire is yours!"

"Thank you, Young Master Bai. I will definitely work harder in the future!" Liu Ping knelt down on one knee excitedly, bowed his head and stretched out his hands, accepting the two torches and the apple with a reverent expression.

Even if Liu Ping was stupid, he knew that the torch could not only burn forever to provide light, but also allow the wheat to grow at night.

The fruit itself exudes a fragrance, so it must be extraordinary. Only Liu Er, who is close to the Immortal Lord, could obtain a little of it. It is probably even more precious than the divine fish.

These are all incredibly precious divine objects!

The immortal lord is so good to him!

"Tieshan," Bai Li said to Tieshan, who was leading a cow to the side.

Since the cow grew up a few days ago, the village chief's yellow ox has finally escaped its misery and returned to Liu Dexi's home.

In previous experiments, Bai Li discovered that although the milk could not solve the villagers' night blindness for the time being, it could restore their eyesight and some other minor ailments.

Tieshan carried the milk and poured it into Liu Ping's mouth.

As the milk went down his throat, Liu Ping felt relaxed all over and could see further.

"Thank you, Young Master Bai!"

Suppressing his joy, Liu Ping walked down amidst the envious gazes of the others.

Next, Bai Li called up the people on the list one by one and gave them milk, torches, and apples according to their merits.

The villagers who received awards were all excited and their faces were full of joy, while the villagers who did not receive awards looked on with envy.

Bai Li thought to herself.

A few sticks, plus charcoal from the village, apples picked up, and unlimited milk.

Am I being a bit stingy?

However, he really doesn't have anything good to offer right now.

"Alright, that's about it. Everyone can go now!" Bai Li said with a smile.

Then, he left first.

If he doesn't leave, they won't leave either. Rather than glaring at them, he might as well just walk away and continue repairing his job-change temple.

"We humbly obey Young Master Bai's decree!" Everyone bowed in unison, their faces flushed, and shouted loudly.

The sound was like thunder, resounding through the sky.

After Bai Li left.

The villagers gradually left to go about their own business, leaving only Wei Shi and the laborers standing in their original positions.

"You all know about the escape last night, right?" Wei Shi said to the militiamen. "Don't worry, the Immortal Lord doesn't blame you. On the contrary, he allows you to leave the village and take three days' worth of food with you. If anyone wants to leave, just come out."

The militiamen remained silent, none daring to be the first to step forward, for fear of being the first to be shot.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to trick you. The Immortal Lord himself said he would let you leave. Do you not even believe the Immortal Lord's words?" Wei Shi explained patiently.

Finally, someone gritted their teeth, lowered their head, and stepped out of the line.

"Give him three days' worth of food," Wei Shi said.

The man silently accepted the grain, kowtowed three times in the direction of Bai Li, and walked out of the village without any hindrance, disappearing into the forest.

Seeing that some people had left safely, a commotion broke out in the ranks. People gradually stepped out of the ranks, received three days' worth of rations, kowtowed three or four times, and left.

The militia didn't quiet down until about half of them had left.

"This is your last chance. If you want to leave after this, it will be difficult. You need to think this through!" Wei Shi said with a serious expression.

After waiting a while and seeing no one come out, he continued, "Alright, since you've chosen to stay, you're now members of the village. If you dare do anything detrimental to the village, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

"Yes!" the militiamen shouted.

Wei Shi nodded and said a string of names: "Those whose names I've read, you've all performed very well these past few days. If you want to continue serving in the army, come and report to me tomorrow morning."

These people were observed by the villagers of Liujia Village to be hardworking and of good character. Most importantly, they greatly respected Bai Xianjun and could be recruited first.

Even though some of these people were very thin, and could be identified as new recruits at a glance, Wei Shi didn't care.

As long as the Immortal Lord is still alive, these people can be transformed into sharp blades in the Immortal Lord's hands in just one day!

……

"Village Chief, do you know what Bai Xianjun usually likes?" Miao Zhiming asked solemnly.

Liu Dexi chuckled and said, "Why did you suddenly ask about this? The Immortal Lord values ​​you highly, so why bother with this?"

Hearing Liu Dexi say this, Miao Zhiming immediately understood that the village chief had misunderstood him.

Miao Zhiming shook his head and explained, "To be honest, village chief, I grew up in a wealthy family and we still have some money to spare. I was young and ignorant before, and I went out to play with those rich kids. They ate and used things that were different from ours."

"You mean...?" Liu Dexi suddenly realized, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Is this place too boring for Immortal Lord Bai?"

Miao Zhiming nodded: "For thousands of years, I have never heard of any immortals truly descending to the mortal realm. Only now do I realize that there is a difference between immortals and mortals. The fact that Immortal Lord Bai was able to withstand the suppression of the mortal world shows that he is an outstanding being among all immortals, and his status in the Heavenly Court is probably very high."

Miao Zhiming paused for a moment, then continued, "The immortal lord's original life was definitely better than that of the emperor, something we can't even imagine."

Even so, the Celestial Lord was willing to descend to the mortal realm, but until now we have only been taking from him. He has never asked us for a single thing. Even that wheat, he probably only accepted it because he was worried about us.

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the towering wooden plank that reached straight to the sky.

"Perhaps the Immortal Lord misses his life in Heaven and wants to return for a final look. However, his magical powers have not yet recovered, and he can only barely ascend with the help of these external objects. Although the Immortal Lord cares for the people and would not abandon us without a word, but..."

Miao Zhiming didn't finish speaking, but he believed the village chief would understand what he meant.

"I understand," Liu Dexi nodded seriously. "I was being presumptuous. I heard from Liu Er that Immortal Lord Bai seems to be very interested in food and animals. However, as for animals, unless it is by the Immortal Lord's decree, it is best not to bring them back without permission."

"In that case, I was thinking of bringing back some cooks from Chengcheng, and if we're lucky, we might even bring back some opera singers to entertain the Immortal Lord. What do you think, Village Chief?"

"Can!"
