Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Chapter 216 Pot, Pot, you scared Xiao Xi to death!

He almost bumped into Li Lizhi behind him. Her big eyes widened, her chubby little face turned pale, and her little hands gripped Jiang Fan tightly.

"Honey, honey-ho—what's that?" Si Zi asked, somewhat frightened.

Jiang Fan looked down at her, then at the entrance to the haunted house and laughed: "That's the haunted house. Everything inside is fake; it's just for scaring people."

"Fake—fake?" Xiao Sizi swallowed hard, but still didn't dare to move forward. He shrank behind Jiang Fan, only peeking out half of his head.

Chengyang saw it too, and her pace slowed down, but she didn't hide like Xiaosizi.

She stood next to Jiang Fan, looking at the worker with the chainsaw for a few seconds with some fear, then turned her head away, not daring to look in that direction.

Li Lizhi stared at the haunted house. It was pitch black inside, and she couldn't see anything clearly. Occasionally, she could hear screams. Although she was curious, she had no intention of going in.

"Let's go, let's go, we're not going there." Jiang Fan said, both amused and exasperated, as he pulled Xiao Sizi around the entrance of the haunted house.

Xiao Sizi walked quite a distance before letting go of Jiang Fan's hand. She looked back and saw the man with the chainsaw still there, scaring the tourists.

She patted her chest and let out a long sigh: "Darling, you scared me to death!"

Chengyang glanced at her, his lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

After passing through the haunted house, the view suddenly opened up before us.

The carousel was right in front of me, on a huge circular platform, two levels high, with an ornate ceiling decorated with golden patterns and colorful light bulbs. Music drifted out from inside, the melody of "Castle in the Sky," soft and dreamlike.

The rocking horses spun up and down, some white, some brown, some black, their manes and tails fluttering in the air.

There are also some carriage-shaped seats, decorated with gold tassels and red cushions, looking like they were taken from a fairy tale.

"Hey, it's a carousel! I love it!" Little Sizi let go of Jiang Fan's hand, ran over, and leaned on the railing, her big, bright eyes sparkling.

"Brother! I want to sit on that one! The white one! The one with the golden horns!" Little Sizi said in his childish voice.

Jiang Fan walked over and glanced at the horse she was pointing to—it was on the outermost edge of the carousel, with a white body, golden mane, and golden horns; it certainly looked majestic. He nodded: "Okay, let's ride that one."

Chengyang also came over. Unlike Xiaosizi, she didn't specify a particular horse. Her gaze slowly swept over the wooden horses, finally landing on a light brown ponies. It was shorter than the other horses, as if it were specially made for children.

"Young master, I want to ride that one." She tugged at Jiang Fan's sleeve and pointed to the little brown horse.

Jiang Fan looked at it and slowly said, "Okay, that one suits you."

Li Lizhi stood to the side, arms crossed, looking at the carousel with a smile on her lips.

As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, she was skilled in riding and archery, but she had never ridden on a carousel like this before. Seeing the children sitting on the carousel happily, she felt a little envious. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Fan.

"Lizhi, you should sit down too," Jiang Fan said slowly, seeing through her thoughts.

"I—I'm already so old!" Li Lizhi's face flushed slightly.

"Lizhi, nobody knows you here, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Fan laughed. "Look over there, aren't there adults sitting there too?"

Li Lizhi followed her gaze—on the carousel, there were indeed several adults; some were young mothers holding their children in carriages, and some were young couples riding the horses together. She bit her lip and nodded.

Jiang Fan bought a ticket, the ticket inspector tore off the stub, opened the small gate in the fence, and several people went inside.

Little Sizi was the first to rush in and find the white wooden horse with golden horns, but the horse was too tall. Even on tiptoe, she couldn't reach the stirrups and jumped up and down in frustration. "Brother! I can't get on!"

Jiang Fan walked over, put his hands on her waist, lifted her up, and placed her on the horse's back.

Little Sizi sat on it, grabbed the golden pole with both hands, put her little feet on the stirrups, and immediately perked up, puffing out her little chest and making baby noises.

Chengyang climbed onto the little brown horse by himself, and although it was a bit difficult, he didn't ask for help.

After she settled in, she gripped the poles with both hands, placed her feet on the stirrups, took a deep breath, and smiled.

Li Lizhi chose a white horse. She mounted it with a swift and graceful movement, her long hair flowing behind her, making her look heroic and dashing.

After she settled down, she glanced down at her skirt. It was alright; it wasn't too short and covered her knees.

As the music began, the carousel slowly started to turn. The horse began to rise and fall, golden light bulbs lit up, and colorful patterns on the ceiling shimmered under the lights.

Little Sizi rode on the white horse, bouncing up and down with its movements. She spread her arms wide like a little bird and cried out in her childish voice, "Flying! Flying!"

Li Lizhi rode a white horse with an upright posture, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and a smile on her lips.

This is much more interesting than riding a real horse in the Tang Dynasty!

One lap, two laps, three laps, the music repeated over and over again. Little Si rode three laps and still didn't want to get off, but the other children in line behind him were already waiting.

Jiang Fan called out to her, "Sizi, it's time to come down. It's the other kids' turn to play."

Little Sizi reluctantly let go and picked her up.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, she was still swaying, as if she were still on horseback.

Chengyang dismounted and stood steadily on the ground. Li Lizhi dismounted gracefully as well.

"The carousel is so much fun!" Xiao Sizi pulled Chengyang's hand. "Second sister, can we come back to ride it later?"

'

"Okay." Chengyang nodded.

Jiang Fan handed each of them a bottle of water. Xiao Sizi unscrewed the cap and gulped down a large mouthful, water dripping from the corner of her mouth onto her skirt. Chengyang drank slowly and deliberately.

When Jiang Fan saw this, he used a tissue to wipe the corner of Xiao Sizi's mouth and then straightened her two crooked little pigtails.

"Let's go check out the next project," Jiang Fan said, pointing ahead.

Little Sizi held Chengyang's hand and skipped ahead.

After getting off the carousel, the group walked along the main road.

Not far away, we saw a towering facility with four huge pillars piercing the sky and a circular platform at the top, with seats surrounding the edge of the platform.

At this moment, the platform was filled with people. With a mechanical start-up sound, the entire platform slowly rose, faster and faster, and the screams of the crowd rose accordingly.

The platform rose to its highest point and paused for a fleeting second. In that brief second, it felt as if the whole world had fallen silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling past your ears. Then, it plummeted.
