Chapter 5, the first little pouch-like creature makes its dazzling debut!
In the courtyard of the Lizheng Hall in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, under a huge apricot tree.
The little rhinoceros, who had eaten herself into a rather chubby shape, was playing with the toy her father had just given her—an exquisitely crafted and very heavy rhinoceros figurine.
She sniffed it curiously, as if she could smell her father's loving kindness in the delicate woody scent.
Her little hands stroked the smooth surface, feeling the exquisite craftsmanship of the artisans.
Every hair on the rhinoceros is sculpted with lifelike detail, as if it might leap up at any moment and soar into the boundless universe.
She sat on the lush green grass, on a soft cushion, surrounded by colorful beads and ribbons—her favorite everyday toys.
However, today, a rhinoceros figurine clearly captured her entire attention.
Excitement shone in her eyes, and she would occasionally look up at her father's figure in the study, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
Little Sizi and his brother Zhinu said:
According to Aye, this sweat-absorbing rhinoceros ornament comes from a distant and rare region. It is not only a toy, but also a 'sweat-absorbing' work of art.
I must cherish and absorb all the sweat from this place, just like my dad and brother cherish it!
Little Si couldn't help but stick out its tongue and lick it again and again.
Zhi Nu's brother naturally loved her adorable clumsiness, but at the same time he was full of worries because Xiao Si Zi had contracted a rare disease.
It's like he's quite unstable; one minute he's incredibly intelligent and mentally superior, and the next he acts like a little idiot. The worst part is he also has this strange condition that prevents him from growing taller...
Li Zhi was worried that the ivory powder on the little rhinoceros figurine might have a negative impact on her condition.
So she gently reminded him, "Little Sizi, this ornament is pretty, but you can't keep touching it with your mouth, or you'll have nightmares again."
Little Sizi raised her head, her clear eyes revealing a hint of panic as she looked at Zhinu.
The older brother slowly approached, squatted down, and patiently explained: "The ivory powder and crystal on the rhinoceros figurine have too strong an energy and are not suitable for the baby to play with."
It might worsen your condition, and the ornament is easily dropped and broken.
Little Sizi nodded earnestly in agreement, showing her deep affection for this new toy.
He then instructed his maid to bring the rhinoceros ornament to his bedroom and carefully placed it on the headboard of his bed.
Sizi said: Every night before I go to sleep, I have to take another look at it to make sure I don't have nightmares!
Since that heartbreaking year in history, the rhinoceros unicorn Si Zi broke free from the "binding" of the Black and White Impermanence for the first time and began a long "clumsy run" (snoring) until it arrived at a "green field" on the outskirts of a military camp.
She transformed into a young girl in her prime.
However, this is exactly what Li Shimin and Zhinu were most worried about: Xiao Sizi's incurable and strange illness!
What the hell is going on?
This needs to be explained slowly.
As she was about to turn 13, Xu Shiji, a 16-year-old boy, first came into Xiao Sizi's sight.
His image is one of rugged heroism and profound historical depth, while simultaneously showcasing the youthful energy and madness of his age!
This is a tense scene:
Sizi, a girl who was only twelve years old, seemed to have been miraculously reborn in the year 610 AD.
Of course, he looked only three or four years old, and his speech was still somewhat slurred.
Her existence was like a mystery, drawing astonished glances from the surrounding neighbors, who also gossiped about her in private.
Despite the crowd's curiosity and desire to explore her, apart from knowing that she was a little girl picked up by the valiant young general Xu Shiji on the battlefield amidst the flames of war, everything else about her remained shrouded in mystery.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the mountains are ablaze with red leaves.
The young girl, Xiao Si, stood atop the high hill, her origins unknown, like a wild grass.
The least important number here is [12].
Because she has memories of many lifetimes and a physical body that is three or four years old.
That [12] only represents the twelve years that just ended by Li Shimin's side.
Her gaze drifted to the distant camp, a strange mix of tension and anticipation welling up inside her.
She is no longer the pampered little princess of Aye and Zhinu, and has now gone far away from them. I don't know if I will ever see them again.
Who would have thought that she would rewind time again today, and have the privilege of witnessing the childhood of this world-renowned general—Xu Shiji!
