Da Tang Si Zi: My Six Super Rich Little Nuggets!

Chapter 93 Li Zhi brings Xincheng to the small town to catch ginseng dolls

The town was filled with the colors of wood and earth-toned linen, and the warm, dappled sunlight shone on the streets.

Don't be fooled by the cozy town; this place is actually a terrifying canyon!

It even has a nickname, "Eight Thousand Mile Black Wind Cave," which makes people think that a great demon from a "dark region" is hiding there.

Xiao Si looked up and saw that it was Brother Zhi Nu feeling sorry for Princess Xin Cheng, who had come on the trip with him.

"Brother, brother, Zhinu brother..." she called sweetly in a soft voice, "Have we arrived yet?"

"We've arrived." In the crowd, the young girl Xiao Si and Li Zhi suddenly exchanged glances.

"What's wrong, brother?" Princess Xincheng walked through the town, turned to look at her brother Zhinu, and suddenly felt that something seemed off about him.

"I was so confused, I thought I had run into someone I knew. It's okay, I just mistook you for someone else."

Xincheng felt a pang of jealousy. She widened her eyes and pretended to analyze the situation deeply: "Hmm? Why did I see a hint of sadness flash in your eyes, brother? Don't tell me you have a new 'love story'? Otherwise, why would you have such a 'distracted and unfocused look'?"

Li Zhi, disguised as a merchant (coming to his senses), said: "Xincheng, you're overthinking it. Don't make wild guesses every day. Aside from the mess at court, I don't have any worries. By the way, sister, I heard there's a little ginseng doll wandering around the mountains around the town. She's very mischievous. Why don't we try our luck and see if we can run into her?"

"Really? Sure," Xincheng didn't believe it at all; what excited her was the chance to go to the mountains with her brother.

Actually, there is a large canyon on the other side of the town. Although it is only a little over 100 li long, the terrain is very complicated!

The cliffs on both sides of the canyon were so high that they looked like giants leaping out of the ground. The sheer cliffs, as if cleaved by knives and axes, made Li Zhi wonder if heaven had sent down a few "sculpting gods" to be architects on Earth.

Standing below and looking up, it's so breathtaking it makes your heart race—it's so magnificent it makes your "back go weak"!

As they walked through the canyon, the group became more cautious. The view ahead was sometimes so high that they had to crane their necks to see the sky!

At times, the passage was so narrow it felt like a maze. Although Princess Xincheng was being carried, she felt like she was becoming a "lost little thing in the canyon," constantly calling for her brother to go home.

As you walk, suddenly a steep cliff that rises straight into the sky appears, blocking your way so much that it makes someone with a suicidal mind want to crash into it.

Li Zhi noticed a chilling wind blowing, and he could hear several "beast cries" in his ears. Those sounds were even more terrifying than a horror movie at night, making people sweat profusely and wonder if they could survive to the next round! So he ordered everyone to return to town first.

Li Zhi had barely finished giving his order when he suddenly spotted a small figure flashing through the distant mountains and forests. His eyes lit up. "Hey, Xincheng, why don't we go after it?!"

"No, it's getting dark."

"Ok."

In this small town in the Tang Dynasty, where "one man can hold the pass against ten thousand," Zhen Xiaosi was doing quite well.

She not only possessed some of the veterinary skills she had learned from Qiu Rongmu, but she was also very warm and generous, making her quite popular among the villagers and friends in the town.

In this town, Zhen Xiaosi was like a handsome young male god. "Everyone likes me so much, is it because I look so cool?" Zhen Xiaosi often asked himself.

As long as the ginseng doll wasn't hidden in her belly, she wouldn't look like that cute little three- or five-year-old; she would transform into a beautiful young woman.

As an emperor, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, had to endure the complex power struggles in the palace every day. These struggles may have been romanticized in historical records as the vicissitudes of history.

However, while governing the country, he also showed some negligence in his personal life, and inadvertently lost his important little girl, Yonghui Si.

He was also a kind-hearted elder brother who deeply cared about the sorrows of the lower classes and the suffering of ordinary people.

I've heard that messengers have reported more than once that people in nearby towns have seen the ginseng doll wandering around on more than one occasion!

Upon hearing this, he grabbed Princess Xincheng and rushed over in a flurry.

Upon closer inspection, the place was a sheer, bare rock formation with three massive pillars piercing the sky. There was no ginseng to be found. The place looked quite dangerous, like a battlefield.

Brother Zhinu didn't recognize Xiao Si at all. On one hand, Xiao Si was a beautiful girl. On the other hand, it wasn't convenient for Xiao Si to reveal her beautiful appearance when she went out to make house calls, so she disguised herself as a rough young man.

Standing to the side listening to their conversation, Zhen Xiaosi rubbed her nose, thinking to herself, "Oh my, Xincheng, you're really something! Not only did you steal my Zhinu brother, but you also want to capture my little ginseng doll? My entire journey through time depends on it and me cultivating the 'Transformation Technique' together! With it, I can maintain my 'cute kid' image, and even if it mischievously runs off and wanders around, I can at least maintain my 'beautiful girl' form!"

"When Si Zi asked the local villagers, he learned that this Zhi Nu brother, disguised as a merchant, planned to invest in ginseng cultivation here."

Upon hearing this, Si Zi became anxious, raised her head and puffed out her chest, walking step by step towards Princess Xincheng, her tone fierce as if she were preparing to challenge a love rival or natural enemy:

“Hey! I say, Princess! Although you are a princess, you must understand that the crown of ‘princess’ is not light, and you bear a heavy ‘burden of the times’ on your shoulders! Look here, all you see are huge rocks! ‘One man can hold the pass against ten thousand’—this is no joke. This is the ‘private territory’ of the townspeople, and no one dares to trespass easily!”

Xincheng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Look at this lad covered in mud, how rude!"

Li Zhi glared at her, immediately becoming displeased, and stepped forward to shove Xiao Sizi.

Xiao Sizi stepped back slightly, her eyes a little red, thinking that her brother Zhinu used to protect her like this.

She paused, gave a "Hey, I don't care!" look, and then said:

"As for you wanting to grow ginseng? Heh heh, let me tell you, look at these 'rocky cliffs,' they're even tougher than any 'iron gate' you've ever seen!! What you want won't grow here!"

"Even if there are precious ginseng, they are still my companions! They are not something that rich people can just pick at will! Wherever there is 'ginseng,' that is my 'pet protection rhinoceros's' 'management area'!"

When Li Zhi heard the word "si", he was startled.

Little Si didn't notice. She thought to herself, "The ginseng babies are like my little elves. They're so close to me. They come as soon as I call them, just like sheepdogs!"

She patted her chest, spat out the bits of grass she was chewing, and added fiercely:

"Remember this: if you want to get your hands on ginseng, you'll have to get past me first!"
