Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1731 - 947: Master! (2)

Master Meng stroked his beard and took another step forward, but failed to notice a capsule dropping to the ground.

With her keen eyesight, Chen Siyu quickly alerted him, "Master! Master! You dropped your medicine!"

Master Meng paused momentarily before continuing his walk. His female disciple bent down to retrieve the small, orange capsule.

Chen Siyu called out, "Master, is this the medicine you put in the bowl?"

"Master, why aren't you saying anything?"

Master Meng thought to himself, 'What the hell!'

Butcher Zhang, who had been harboring some displeasure towards the Master, now surrounded him with Ba Wang. Mr. Qian, always eager for some excitement, also gathered around.

Mr. Qian, spotting the pill in the female disciple's hand, exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that an ibuprofen capsule? A painkiller!"

He promptly summoned everyone present, gathering all the rural tourism guests, including Boss Yang and his associates.

Master Meng felt a strange tingling sensation on his scalp.

Finally, Uncle Tang reviewed the surveillance footage and discovered that Master Meng had indeed tampered with the bowl.

...

Master Meng was subsequently apprehended by the police.

It marked his inaugural visit to the river dam.

Lin Zida and Zhuang Jianhui were also present, observing the unfolding scene, alongside Gong Jin and Wang Yong. Two attractive young women were also there, one of whom was Xu Wenyi, a dance art student from An City, previously seen on the frozen river dam with noticeably crooked teeth.

Once the initial excitement subsided, Lin Zida glanced at the slingshot in Jiang Ning’s hand and inquired, "Getting ready to shoot some birds?"

He had recently assisted Boss Yang and learned about the pigeon problem plaguing the strawberry farm.

Jiang Ning responded, "Just playing around for fun."

However, Lin Zida noticed the equipment in Chen Siyu’s hand and sensed they were quite serious about their intentions.

"Alright, I'm planning to go fishing by the Huishui River. I recently discovered a pond that's perfect for wild fishing."

Jiang Ning asked, "Isn't the rural tourism pond sufficient?"

Lin Zida chuckled, "Well, it's an artificial pond, not much of a challenge. I'm seeking a bit more excitement."

With that, the group departed towards the rural tourism area, Jiang Ning intending to address the bird issue, while Lin Zida still required some tools.

Near the strawberry farm, Xue Yuantong secured a string to one end of a stick, using the other end to prop up a basket. She then extended the string until it reached a point ten meters away.

Chen Siyu scattered a handful of corn kernels beneath the basket.

Xu Wenyi, who had a brief prior encounter with Xue Yuantong, approached with curiosity, "Can such a simple trap actually catch pigeons?"

Xue Yuantong stated confidently, "Don't worry, I used to catch sparrows with this when I was a kid!"

At this moment, the girl standing beside Xu Wenyi came over. Her long, straight black hair flowed over her shoulders, and she greeted them with a friendly smile, "Did you play with so many things when you were kids?"

Xue Yuantong glanced at her, finding her quite amiable and rather attractive.

She and Chen Siping waited on standby for the birds.

Meanwhile, Chen Siyu, the younger sister, accompanied Jiang Ning on a hunting trip, carrying a burlap sack.

Guests were diligently picking strawberries at the farm, while pigeons feasted on the very same strawberries. Yang Fei was desperately trying, with wide-open arms, but was unable to catch any of the birds.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Jiang Ning, come and give me a hand."

"Certainly." As he spoke, Jiang Ning carefully placed a corn kernel into the pocket of his slingshot and pulled back the elastic band.

A brazen pigeon continued its theft of strawberries, seemingly unfazed by Jiang Ning's presence.

Chen Siyu remarked, "This pigeon is quite good-looking, with a vibrantly colored neck."

Yang Fei added, "Not only pretty, but they're also incredibly smart. Jiang Ning, you..."

"Pop!" The corn kernel whizzed through the air, striking the pigeon precisely on its colorful neck.

The pigeon tilted its head and fell, instantly falling into a deep sleep. The pigeon was incapacitated.

A few seconds of silence followed as the scene unfolded, leaving Boss Yang speechless mid-sentence.

Jiang Ning urged, "Si Yu, why are you spacing out? Go pick it up."

Chen Siyu finally snapped back to reality, exclaiming in astonishment, "Jiang Ning, you're incredible! Hitting it with just one shot. It will be effortless when your wife gives birth in the future!"

Boss Yang thought, '?'

He mused, 'No, the mindset of high schoolers these days is quite something...'

Jiang Ning straightened up, "Ahem, pick up the pigeon."

Chen Siyu obediently hurried over to the strawberry field and retrieved the pigeon. Its feathers felt soft and still warm in her hands.

Jiang Ning loaded another corn kernel, aimed at the pigeons frantically fluttering around the farm, and fired again, bringing down another bird.

After several more shots, all the pigeons within the strawberry farm were eliminated. Chen Siyu proudly held up the bulging burlap sack, filled with their bounty.

As Jiang Ning approached the farm’s entrance, Lin Zida intercepted him, inquiring, "How did it go, Jiang Ning? Not easily dealt with, was it? Perhaps a bird net would have been necessary."

Chen Siyu responded, "It’s concluded."

Lin Zida, holding his fishing rod, exclaimed, "Haha, Boss Yang, I told you, technology is effective!"

Zhuang Jianhui, standing behind, also found Boss Yang’s idea unconventional. He acknowledged Jiang Ning’s exceptional ability, recognizing that slingshot accuracy demands significant skill.

Chen Siyu, shaking a heavy snakeskin bag, clarified, "I mean, we've already captured them all."

She then opened the bag to reveal its contents to them.

Lin Zida stammered, "Uh..."

After attending to the pigeons, Jiang Ning ventured outside in search of Tongtong.

Tongtong was still patiently waiting for the pigeons to enter the basket. However, Jiang Ning deemed the process too slow. He subtly employed his invisible spiritual power, guiding two nearby pigeons that were pecking at food to hop beneath the basket.

Xue Yuantong tugged on the yarn, causing the stick to tilt. The basket descended, trapping two pigeons within.

"Hehe, I declared we could catch them!" Xue Yuantong proudly announced, showcasing her prowess to Chen Siqing and Xu Wenyi.

Her skill was undeniably impressive.

The friendly girl with long, dark hair expressed a slight surprise, thinking, ’This actually works?’

Xu Wenyi pondered the situation thoughtfully, saying, "The current concern is, when you lift the basket to retrieve them, will the pigeons manage to slip through the openings?"

Xu Wenyi also voiced another concern: "What if I attempt to grab the pigeons directly, and they peck me?"

This presented a genuine dilemma.

The girl with the long black hair giggled innocently, asserting, "They won’t peck; pigeons are gentle birds."

Chen Siqing, her elder sister, had been observing the girl. Earlier, while waiting for the birds, she had learned that the girl studied at an esteemed international school in An City and her name was Yin Yu.

For reasons unknown, Chen Siqing sensed an incongruity despite the girl's sweet smile. There was a subtle yet distinct aura of coolness and distance in her eyes.

In contrast to her sister's observation, Chen Siyu made a judgment based on appearance: "They won’t bite? You try it then."

Yin Yu maintained an affable smile and replied, "Let me give it a go."

She leaned slightly, her loose, wide-leg pants and black long-sleeved shirt accentuating her slender waist.

Gong Jin gestured towards Wang Yong, inquiring,
