Chapter 674: Karma (1)

An invisible force appeared around him. Song Shi, who was familiar with this power, understood that this was the Law of Reincarnation.
Of course, this was not because he had grasped the Law of Reincarnation. He had only gained some comprehension. Because his consciousness was too powerful, it could resonate with this Law.
However, this was also related to the fact that this world was in a mini reincarnation cycle. He did not need to investigate to know that this world was filled with the power of reincarnation.
Ordinary people could not tell that Song Shi had changed. They were used to him being in a daze.
Song Shi did not say anything and calmly walked towards what he wanted to do.
Cowherds.
He was usually in charge of herding cows. Of course, this kind of cow was not an ordinary plowed cow. Moreover, it was a cow that could carry tens of thousands of catties.
When he arrived at the cowshed, the two-meter-tall cows were resting. Song Shi walked to the one in charge and fed them some food before untying the rope. Without needing him to pull them, the cows obediently followed Song Shi and loft
Early in the morning, it was time for the cows to eat gra.s.s. Song Shi brought the cows to a place with lush water and gra.s.s. He sat on the ground and circulated his internal energy to cultivate while waiting for the cows to eat gra.s.s.
After a while, he moved one to block. Although his cultivation speed was not as fast as when he was cultivating quietly, he did not waste any time.
After the cows finished eating and drinking, Song Shi looked at the sun. He turned around and sat on the cows before slowly returning.
After returning to the Chen family through the back door and bringing the cows back, Song Shi began to rest.
He had lunch and then fed the cows some food. After resting for two hours, he continued to let the cows out again and ended today’s work in the evening.
He was very grateful to Chen Ziqi for giving him this easy job, but the others felt that he did not have any pursuits. He was like a cowherd child who lived every day and earned two copper coins without considering his future.
As the Chen family really needed someone to take care of the cows, seeing that he was taking good care of them, they did not make him leave.
Just like that, day after day pa.s.sed. Song Shi had been in the Chen family for a year. His cultivation level had broken through to the Connate realm at a moderate speed.
This speed was much slower than the last time, but Song Shi did not care. At this moment, he was focused on comprehending reincarnation.
He knew that no matter how he cultivated, he should not be able to surpa.s.s the upper limit of this world. Only by breaking through reincarnation could he really jump out.
On this day, Song Shi went to herd cows as usual and realized that the residence had begun to be decorated with lanterns and colored banners. It seemed that there was some joyous occasion.
After asking around, he found out that Chen Ziqi was getting married.
A delicate woman appeared in Song Shi’s mind. Ever since he came here to herd cows, he had never seen Miss Chen.
“Time flies.’
He muttered, “As expected, I’m much more stable now that I’m not tormented.”
Song Shi sighed. If he tried to s.n.a.t.c.h all kinds of cultivation resources as soon as he recovered, many things might happen again.
He knew that if he did not cause trouble, there would be less karma.
However, today could not be like usual. He had to buy a congratulatory gift for Chen Ziqi.
He came to the cowshed and said to another cowherd, “Old w.a.n.g, help me take care of Old Ninth today. I have something on.”
Old w.a.n.g was a servant of the Chen family. He was already 50 years old. His hair had fallen off and he looked a little sick.
His parents were also servants and could be considered slaves for generations. In an aristocratic family like the Chen family, if one did not have any ability, it was actually not bad to be a servant of a large family.
“Brother Song, you finally have something else to do. I thought you were going to live with cows for the rest of your life.”
Old w.a.n.g turned around and said with a smile, “Go ahead. Old Tenth is going out to pull goods today. You should have heard that Seventh Miss is getting married, right? She’s going to pull things for marriage.”
Old Ninth and Old Tenth made up numbers for the cows. There were a total of 18 cows in the Chen family. The lower the number, the older they were. “Sorry to trouble you. I’ll bring you osmanthus cake when I come back.”
Song Shi chuckled and turned to leave.
He was prepared to meet Chen Ziqi and bring a congratulatory gift, but he did not know what to give her.
“The Chen family is a martial arts family. They don’t lack precious things. What should I give them?”
Song Shi walked out of the back door and walked around the street, not knowing what to buy.
If it was an ordinary person, they might just give him something ordinary, but Chen Ziqi was his savior.
“Let’s give him something valuable.”
Song Shi’s gaze landed on the small shop selling jade artifacts. He walked over and used half of the copper coins he had acc.u.mulated in a year to buy a piece of thick jade. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a commotion.
Kick, kick, kick…
A group of people rode over majestically. They did not care about the bustling streets at all and saw a familiar person.
The surrounding commoners tactfully moved aside, but many of them were cursing these people’s ancestors softly.
“Ma Wei?”
Song Shi’s gaze turned cold when he saw one of them.
Although he had no desires in the last year, he did not forget this person.
“If I want to make a move, I have to keep it a secret.”
Killing intent flashed in his eyes. Song Shi kept the jade and followed Ma Wei.
The latter came to a restaurant and went upstairs arrogantly. Song Shi came to a teahouse beside him and stood by the window. He quietly observed Ma Wei and the others go to the private room on the third floor.
“These guys are fooling around every night. They usually don’t come out during the day. Why are they gathered so early?”
Song Shi found it strange.
“Hey, why are you standing here?”
When the waiter in the teahouse saw Song Shi standing by the window, he berated him.
Song Shi did not even turn around and walked straight to the restaurant.
The staff here looked down on Song Shi even more and frowned. “This place doesn’t entertain servants.”
He was wearing rough linen clothes, so it was normal for him to be looked down upon. However, Song Shi did not care. He threw out the remaining half of the copper coins and said, “Arrange a seat on the second floor near the south.”
Half a year’s salary was still worth something. The shop a.s.sistant took a look and thought that Song Shi was there to pretend to be rich. He smiled and brought Song Shi to the second floor.
Song Shi chose a spot below Ma Wei and the others and said, “What can I buy with those copper coins? Bring me some vegetables and wine at the price.” “Alright, I guarantee that it’s something you’ve never eaten before.” The shop a.s.sistant took the copper coins and served Song Shi.
Song Shi’s ears twitched. The voice from the third floor gradually became clearer in his ears. He immediately heard Ma Wei say softly, “I gathered my brothers so early today because that b*tch Chen Ziqi is getting married. If I don’t vent my anger soon, that b*tch will go to Jiangnan.”
“Oh, Brother Ma, how are you going to vent your anger? This woman’s martial arts are quite powerful. The Chen family also has experts. Moreover, it’s not good for us to cause trouble for such a joyous occasion.”
Someone replied.
“Hmph, I don’t dare to cause trouble in the Chen family. I’m not afraid on the way.”
Ma Wei sneered. “Close the window. I’ll tell you my plan.”
Clunk.
Observing from the window, most of the voices in Song Shi’s ears were isolated. He could only hear some malicious laughter.
At this moment, the waiter came over with a few dishes and a pot of wine and said, “Customer, your dishes are here.”
Song Shi looked above his head and did not say anything. After the dishes were served, he finished them in a few bites and left.
“Hmph, what a poor person. He probably hasn’t eaten any good food.”
The shop a.s.sistant looked at the empty bowls and plates and said disdainfully.
Song Shi did not do anything else. He returned to his room and looked at the rough jade. He muttered, “Is this karma? You saved my life, so I’ll probably return it to you soon..”
