Chapter 33 The Silver Dragon's belly is surprisingly good!
In the brightly lit high-speed rail station hall, the smooth floor reflected the rows of LED strips overhead. Little Sizi stared wide-eyed, her little hand tightly gripping Lu Chen's index finger.
"Hey, buddy!" She looked up and pointed to the huge electronic screen on the dome, where train schedules scrolled like shooting stars. "There are running numbers in the sky!"
Zhang Jing pushed his suitcase and laughed, "That tells us which train to take—" Before he finished speaking, the little guy suddenly let go and stumbled towards the glowing vending machine in the distance.
"Sizi!" Lu Chen hurried after him, only to see the child standing on tiptoe against the glass cabinet door, his nose pressed flat: "There's clay silver inside!"
"Red beep, yellow beep—" It turned out she mistook the canned beverage for colorful clay balls.
Li Shimin, standing outside the canopy, laughed heartily, stroking the table: "My little rascal thinks everything round is clay!" Empress Zhangsun, however, frowned and sighed softly: "With such a surging crowd, what if they get separated?"
Zhang Jing had already bought orange juice from the machine and squatted down to hand it to Xiao Sizi: "This is orange-flavored sweet juice, clay baby can't drink it."
The little guy, holding the cold jar, suddenly jumped up with a "Yay!" "Clay bag!" His little hands frantically reached for the side pocket of Lu Chen's backpack—only when his fingertips touched the edge of the sealed bag did he breathe a long sigh of relief.
As the three of them passed through the security checkpoint, Xiao Sizi stared at the conveyor belt and suddenly shrank into Lu Chen's arms: "Big Mouth Monster Suitcase!" The sound of the conveyor belt swallowing the suitcase startled her, and she buried her face in her brother's shoulder.
Lu Chen quickly took her little hand and placed it on the X-ray machine's casing: "Feel it, it's a cool, metal belly, specially designed to check our luggage for little mice hiding inside." The coolness from her palm made her smile through her tears, and she turned to the security guard, calling out in a clear voice: "Uncle, don't let those brain mice steal our clay nests!"
"Great! The child is so cute!" The security guard waved.
"Sister! What's that big stick for?" The little guy stared at the body screening device in the security guard's hand.
"This is to brush the dust off everyone. It feels so good!" the young lady said with a sweet smile.
"Oh. Wokji Island." The little guy nodded gently.
"The baby is so cute~~"
"This baby is so well-behaved."
The people behind all looked at the little guy.
It was Lu Chen and Xiao Si's turn to be tested.
Lu Chen placed the little ox on the testing table.
Little Sizi chuckled and, imitating the person in front of him, spread his arms wide and squinted his crescent-shaped eyes at the pretty young lady.
Whoosh! The testing device gently scanned the little bull a few times, and the young woman waved her hand, "Alright, little one, come down! You're all clean now!"
"Thank you, sister~~"
Lin Chen picked up the little girl and told her to wait in front.
Wan Chaotian was shocked again.
"Wow! That's incredible!"
"Modern machines are amazing! They can see what's inside a suitcase with just a scan!"
On the banks of the Yi River.
Jing Ke nearly dropped the dagger in his hand.
"Thank goodness! The Qin palace doesn't have this. Otherwise, this plan would have been utterly impossible!"
"With this, body searches become extremely easy!"
"The imperial court can try cases half as fast!"
Great Qin.
Ying Zheng's knuckles were white from drilling.
"If I had possessed this back then, I wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by that madman Jing Ke, like a rabbit!"
Crash! An inkstone was swept off the table and shattered into pieces.
Under the shade of a tree, a few shifty-looking men squatted on the ground, gazing at the sky: "If we were born in modern times, we wouldn't be able to do this kind of work!"
"Hey! That's not true! If we were in modern times, Bao would definitely be better off than we are now."
"Look, the streets here are cleaner than our faces. There's not a single poor person there. If we went there, we'd be living the high life!"
"That makes sense!"
Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "Second Prince, look how well-behaved Sizi is! She's not shy at all! Everyone likes her."
Li Shimin casually curled the corners of his mouth: "My son has always been like this! Everyone loves him!"
A clear female voice announced over the loudspeaker in the waiting hall: "Ticket checking for train G102 is now open—"
Lu Chen picked up Xiao Sizi and walked towards the turnstile. Outside the glass curtain wall, the streamlined white car body lay quietly on the track.
"Look, buddy!" she suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the front of the car. "A big silver dragon made of clay! Its eyes are so bright!" The headlights reflected in her pupils, as if she had fallen into a galaxy.
Zhang Jing stuffed the red bean bun into her hand: "After you finish the bun, the silver dragon will carry you away!"
The little guy gnawed on the dough, his cheeks puffed out, and mumbled indistinctly, "Red bean paste is like clouds, silver dragon runs fast and full—"
Beyond the celestial canopy, the world was in turmoil.
Li Tai gripped his brush and quickly sketched on the paper: "The chariot's nose is like an arrowhead, surely it's for cutting through the wind!"
Zhu Biao's eyes widened: "The high-speed train looks like a giant snake!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the connection between the carriages and suddenly realized: "So that's why the iron carriages are connected section by section, no wonder they can meander and move so fast."
Emperors Ying Zheng, Liu Che, Qianlong, and Yang Guang all stared at the gleaming high-speed train: "What a huge silver dragon! It's only missing horns!"
"A giant python!"
"How many people will this fit in? At least a thousand!"
Li Shimin gazed at his daughter's retreating figure as Lu Chen carried her into the carriage, then suddenly gripped Empress Zhangsun's hand tightly: "Guanyinbi, if such a divine object were to travel throughout the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't the journey from Chang'an to Luoyang be completed in a day or two?"
"Brother, this path is so narrow!" Little Si frowned as soon as she entered the train.
"It's okay! We'll be in our little room soon!" Lu Chen said, holding the little one in one arm and dragging the suitcase with the other.
"Hey! These curtains are so pretty!" The little guy really liked the blue and white curtains in the hallway.
Soon, they arrived at their private room.
This is a private room that Lu Chen booked specifically.
Lu Chen had never ridden in one before.
I went inside and it was alright, not very big, but it was my own private little space.
Upon entering, there's a small table with a bunch of bright yellow sunflowers and a kettle on it. There's a large bed, over a meter wide, with a small cabinet next to it and a bunk bed on top. On the other side is a separate bathroom with a toilet, a safe, and an electrical outlet.
Not bad.
"Hey buddy! There are little stars on the ground!"
The little guy saw tiny white dots appearing on the dark blue carpet.
"That's a carpet, go step on it." Lu Chen put the little guy down.
"Hmm!" The little guy stepped onto the fluffy carpet.
Her shoes have stopped making noise.
"Guoguo! Let's snuggle up and step on this soft grass!" The little guy stomped his feet one step at a time.
Lu Chen quickly locked the door from the inside.
Now I don't have to worry about the little one running around.
Lu Chen put his suitcase away and began to disinfect it, taking out alcohol spray.
After thorough disinfection, you can rest assured and stay here.
"Sizi, come here, let your brother wipe your little hands." Lu Chen wiped the little one's hands and carried her to the sleeper berth.
Lu Chen placed the picture books, food, and clay on the small table.
"Sizi, do you want to read a book first, or eat something, or play with clay?"
"I want to mold clay!" the little guy stretched out his little hand.
Lu Chen smiled and opened the sealed bag, revealing colorful clay.
People under the sky were filled with envy.
The inside of the silver dragon's belly is so good!
