Chapter 6 Little Si, you're so impulsive.
In the camp, the figure of the young Xu Shiji was particularly eye-catching.
He was dressed in a simple battle robe, holding a long, silver-carved sword, and practicing sparring with the soldiers.
Although he was only sixteen years old, his upright posture and calm demeanor made him seem as if he was born for the battlefield.
His every move exuded decisiveness and precision, captivating Xiao Si; it seemed that not a single detail was overlooked.
The soldiers he was sparring with were all drenched in sweat, looking as if they had just been pulled out of the water, but he remained calm, with only a few beads of sweat on his forehead, as if it were just an ordinary exercise.
Little Si gazed at him, a strange, inexplicable flutter stirring within her. Just then, a sharp bugle call sounded, and the soldiers immediately formed ranks.
Xu Shiji stood at the front of the formation, his sword pointing forward, his voice clear and powerful: "Today's training ends here; we'll fight again tomorrow!"
At that very moment, he turned around, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the hill where the little girl stood. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if time and space stood still for a moment.
Those eyes possessed a charm and sharpness rarely seen in a young boy, as if they could see into people's hearts, yet they also carried a touch of childishness.
The young general greeted his men and then walked alone up the hill. His brows held a hint of coldness and unapproachable authority, and his gaze, like a cold arrow, fell directly on the little girl, Xiao Si.
"Young lady, who are you? Why are you standing here?"
Little Si stared into his eyes, stunned.
It was an attraction that was hard to put into words; perhaps it could be described as a destiny's pull.
Why are you so shocked?
It turns out that the little meatball had met this general uncle before; he was five years older than his father!
She was able to recognize Li Ji at a glance; she never expected him to be so handsome at only 16!
"How old are you?"
Sizi still didn't answer. She looked down at her chubby arms and little hands and thought: If I told the other person that I was about the same age as the Tang Dynasty, I would definitely not believe me.
Now that she had transmigrated to this place, she was determined to witness firsthand how this important minister, who had served three generations of monarchs from her grandfather to her father to her brother, acted.
Xiao Si stammered, "I...I have no parents and fled here. I was moved by the sight of Mr. Da Jiang training his troops so bravely, so I stopped here. If I have disturbed you, please forgive me."
Xu Shiji smiled gently, a smile that was just right, neither disrespectful nor superfluous.
He looked at the pitiful little girl, his gaze softening slightly: "I dare not accept the title of general; I am but a novice youth. What is your name?"
My name is Xiaoxizi.
Little Opera? Or Little Four? Which Little Four? Is he the fourth oldest?
Xiao Si thought about the special nature of the princess's name and was afraid that it might be taboo, but then she thought that she was already all alone now, so why should she care about so much?
"It's a rhinoceros," she said, squatting down and drawing lines on the ground with a stick, "meaning a little rhinoceros unicorn."
Haha, I've got it. My name is Xu Shiji. It's a pleasure to meet you. If Miss Xiaosi doesn't mind, please come again tomorrow. Perhaps you'll see an even better rehearsal.
Xiao Sizi suddenly felt pain in her big toe, so she simply sat down on the ground, took off her shoes, and bit her lip tightly. The pressure of running around during these time travels caused her tears to flow like a waterfall.
Little girl, why are you crying? Where are your parents?
Little Si: I've been running around for a long time and haven't eaten.
Xu Shiji noticed that her shoes were so worn that her toes were showing, and guessed that she was a homeless girl.
The homeless time traveler couldn't help but plead, "Young VIP, could you please have mercy and give me a trophy, anything would do, just take in this poor little kid?"
The sudden request stunned the young general. He didn't respond, but only glanced at her bare feet, which were a little red and swollen, before turning around and leaving quickly.
Little Si thought to himself: Little Si, you were too impulsive. Who would be willing to take in a homeless little stray cat?
The boy walked away without looking back.
Little Sizi didn't care about being sad; she was only feeling unbearably hungry. She frantically searched for wild vegetables and wildflowers and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing them with relish like a horse eating grass.
Unconsciously, she strolled into the city streets, where the noise and bustle were like Venice on the Tang Dynasty mainland.
Merchants use bamboo rafts for busy passenger and freight transport. Under the small bridge, the water flows gently, the trees are shady, and red flowers dot the landscape. Everywhere there are vendors selling goods and snacks, creating a lively and bustling scene.
Someone noticed that the little girl was walking barefoot, with disheveled hair and a dirty face, yet she looked very innocent and lovable. So they gave her some copper coins so she could buy shoes.
She used the money to buy steaming hot meat buns. Her little face puffed up from chewing, and she swallowed six in one go.
At this moment, a beautifully decorated carriage slowly drove up, carrying a miniature house with an antique-style bamboo roof.
Two young pageboys dressed as servants stepped forward and politely invited, "Young lady, please get into the carriage and come with us back to the mansion."
Do you know me? I don't know you. Who are you? Little Si asked curiously, staring with wide eyes.
