Chapter 183 Before the Upgrade: Radioactive Pollution and the Bizarre Journey Through the Great Chon
Little Sizi finally woke up from the hustle and bustle of the modern world, but not from the alarm clock's "weather forecast" or her parents' "ding-dong," but from her older brother's crying and shaking.
Little Sizi had just woken up and felt as if she had been run over by a herd of oxcarts! She was dizzy and her head was buzzing.
She touched her forehead and found that she was in pain all over her body.
Moreover, the entire process of going from unconsciousness to time travel happened in just one second! Is this even fair?!
Xiao Si opened her eyes groggily, feeling as if she were lying on a hospital bed, surrounded by white light and filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Her lips were cracked like tree bark as she weakly asked, "Brother, where am I?"
Her brother's face was as serious as if he had just drunk a whole bottle of soy sauce:
“Zhen Xiaosi, I’m so sorry!! The wild ginseng… was deliberately contaminated by bad people, but we haven’t found any evidence yet that it was the stuff you secretly ate at night that caused you to remain unconscious.”
As he spoke, tears streamed down his face like a burst dam. "The doctor said you might never wake up!"
Xiao Si's eyes were throbbing with pain. The thought, "Am I about to die?" had just crossed her mind when she saw her brother so real. She suddenly realized: Oh my god, pollution? What kind of disaster is this?! But this is so uncomfortable.
Zhen Xiaosi felt like there was a swarm of mosquitoes swarming around her head, her internal organs felt like crumbs of a cookie, and the world before her eyes was as blurry as if it had been pixelated...
She spoke weakly:
"Huh? Bro~ what do you mean? How long have I been unconscious?? Is it because I ate contaminated ginseng??"
When she said this, she didn't even have the strength to touch her stomach.
Her brother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his face showing an expression comparable to a lobster that had just jumped out of a fire:
"I'm so sorry, Sizi. It's all my fault for not taking good care of that area. The problem isn't the minor pollution from pesticides, but that you ingested radioactive material! It's all my fault! It's all my fault for not watching you properly... Waaah..."
"What a relationship! Have I been consuming radiated ginseng for a long time?!"
Zhen Xiaosi wanted to shout and vent her frustrations, but her body and head were tied up and she had no energy left.
She felt her lips were cracked and dry, and swallowing saliva made her throat taste blood... Xiao Si closed her eyes and silently thought: This time, she might even lose her "true form"...
My brother was wailing beside me, his tears almost soaking the white blanket on the hospital bed into a bath towel.
Then, another atmosphere of sorrow descended.
When the parents, whose older brother had taken their shift at the cafeteria, heard that Xiao Si had woken up, they were so excited that they ran back home without even taking their food after swiping the payment code!
Upon entering, they found her still unconscious and in critical condition, requiring emergency treatment. The two of them, like kites with their strings pulled, were completely disoriented...
Mom wept bitterly and cursed the person who poisoned her. Dad sighed, stood at the doorway, and shook his head in despair.
"Please accept my condolences. This is terrible. Si Zi has completely transmigrated! It's all my fault, my fault. I shouldn't have given her such a tragic name..."
Zhen Xiaosi's soul floated above the ward, looking at her anxious parents and her tearful brother, feeling a pang of reluctance.
She clearly wanted to stay a few more days, but she felt an inexplicable force dragging her towards another world.
The arrival of the Black and White Impermanence was very sudden. Before she could say anything and even say goodbye to her family, she was taken away.
Xiao Si was filled with doubt. Was this a complete "reincarnation"?
She thought she would drink the Meng Po soup in the underworld and then become a cute little baby, starting her life anew.
But fate had other plans – instead of turning her into a baby, she remained a little girl and was thrown into a completely unfamiliar place.
This place is called "Da Chong Kingdom".
Little Si silently complained in his heart:
"Indeed, this name sounds quite powerful!! A swan soars ten thousand miles, its flight reaching the heavens..."
When she realized she was still the same as before, not an ignorant baby, she frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "What?! I'm still time-traveling?!"
A thousand thoughts swirling within me...
The first day of the transmigration.
Xiao Si still felt she was a person of high status—at least, the scene before her gave her confidence. She had at least one palace maid serving her, and the maid was dressed in gorgeous clothes, behaved respectfully, and treated her like an honored guest.
She secretly rejoiced, thinking to herself, "This time travel will surely be a stroke of great fortune, extraordinary indeed!!"
However, the next day...
She found the palace maid's behavior strange—a balloon would float up behind her every time, and she would often mutter to herself, her expression quite eerie.
Xiao Si was filled with doubt, thinking to herself, "No way, this palace maid is always talking to herself in such a serious manner. Could she be mentally ill?!"
He then began to eavesdrop on her whispers.
Suddenly, the palace maid looked at her with great concern and whispered, "The spiritual energy tells me that you are a transmigrator!"
Zhen Xiaosi was immediately stunned, unable to react for a moment. When she came to her senses, she felt a surge of surprise:
This palace maid, can she hear the words of spirits? Does she understand matters of time travel? Isn't she incredibly powerful?
"who am I?"
"If it is deflated."
"What is Ruobie anyway? It's so weak."
The palace maid seemed to have known her doubts beforehand, and took Xiao Si's hand with tender affection:
"Don't worry, Miss. I am your confidante and will never abandon you. Your father didn't run off with some other wealthy businesswoman. He has passed away. Your wife was afraid you would be naive, so she lied to you."
"Huh? Ruobie? That's a name too?!" Xiao Si was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's my surname?"
A strange look flashed in the palace maid's eyes: "If it's the Taoist priest who told you to call me that, your name is 'Gu Weixi,' and after your father passed away, you took your mother's surname, Du."
"Du Weixi?"
"Well, but you didn't get a balloon at such a young age, and your wife was ashamed, so she asked me for advice from a 'wise man.' That man gave her three names, and she chose one and allowed everyone to call her that, calling it a lowly name, saying that it would be beneficial."
“No matter what the surname is, as long as they are royalty, that’s fine. Wei Xi is normal.” Xiao Si looked astonished. “But what is this Ruo Bie? What kind of name is that? It’s extremely strange.”
The palace maid smiled slightly: "Miss, this is destiny. Wei Xi Bi Yu has reached the age of youth, but the balloon has not yet arrived. Since this name has been chosen, it is said that it will bring you the balloon."
"Balloons? What do you need balloons for??" Xiao Si frowned. "And what are these? Isn't this the Tang Dynasty? What dynasty are we in now?"
The palace maid's gaze was complicated: "This is the Great Chong Dynasty. Balloons are something that only young girls in their prime can obtain, but you... have no balloons."
Xiao Si was still confused, her mind filled with doubts: "When you all reach the Jade Age, you all get a balloon? Isn't it just filled with air? It's not like we're missing something important..."
The palace maid smiled mysteriously: "Don't you know? Since the time of Jade Age, all the girls have received a balloon, and you haven't. You'll be scorned by everyone..."
Xiao Si seemed to realize something, her eyes flickering slightly: "If it weren't for the fact that I have no balloons, that's why they call me 'Ruo Bie'? That's too direct!"
The palace maid looked at her with reassuring eyes: "That wise man said there are two other names to choose from, which can ensure the young lady's safety."
"Oh? What's your name?"
"Uh... don't be angry..."
"Say!"
"Uh, one seems to be playing with an only child... The lady said that she already only has one child who just plays around all day, so she doesn't want this one!"
"What?! It's all over?! You call that so-called expert over here, I'll beat him to a pulp!!"
"That master has long since passed away in Yangzhou. He was one of the eminent Taoist masters of the Shangqing School."
"Are you having another bout of mental illness? Or are you just imagining things?"
"Hahaha, Miss, don't be angry!! That expert really left a message, and Madam also heard it and thinks it's better to be 'less'!"
"Where's the other one?"
"Little Rhinoceros".
Sizi was stunned: "This is it, this is what I want to call it."
"The lady won't allow it. She said that Li Shimin has a daughter named Princess Jinyang, Li Mingda, who is not long-lived. No matter how silly or foolish you are, you are still her darling and she wants to be with you for life."
Little Si almost cried when she heard this.
"Where is Madam? Isn't my mother the Empress?"
"Miss, although a person in white told me you've traveled from another time, I'm still worried about you. Were you beaten senseless by the female thugs that Miss Zhang hired yesterday?!"
Zhen Xiaosi knew that living like this would indeed be foolish, but she never expected that her future would really be a catastrophic event that would shake the entire five thousand years of Chinese history.
