Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat behind the counter of the jewelry store, fiddling with an uncut jadeite in her hand.

She was clearly troubled by Ms. Cao's latest request.

The light in the store was soft, shining on her slightly tired face.

"Wanwan, are you daydreaming again?" A shallow voice came from the door. She pushed the door open and walked in with a cup of hot coffee in her hand.

Zhou Wanwan looked up and forced a smile: "Qianqian, you came just in time. I was just worrying about the design of Ms. Cao's necklace."

Qianqian handed the coffee to Zhou Wanwan and sat down opposite her: "Tell me, what new tricks does Ms. Cao have this time?"

"She wants a necklace with the mountain breeze and bright moon as the background." Zhou Wanwan sighed, "This is no ordinary challenge."

Taking a sip of coffee, he thought: "The breeze and the bright moon in the mountains sound quite romantic. Have you ever thought that you might find inspiration from nature?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head: "I tried, but I always felt like something was missing."

He smiled lightly, a sly look in his eyes: "Then have you ever thought that maybe what you need is a real trip to the mountains?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "You mean, I should go to the mountain to take a look myself?"

"That's right." Qianqian nodded, "Sometimes, inspiration is right in front of you, but you just don't notice it."

Zhou Wanwan was silent for a while, and finally made up her mind: "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow."

The next day, Zhou Wanwan set out for the mountains with a simple bag on her back.

She chose a remote mountain village with the most pristine natural scenery.

The mountain air was fresh. Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and felt her whole body relax.

She strolled along the mountain path, listening to the birds singing and watching the gurgling stream, and all the worries in her heart seemed to drift away with the breeze.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. It was a young mountain villager holding a worn umbrella.

"Girl, are you okay?" The mountain man's voice was filled with concern.

Zhou Wanwan nodded gratefully: "Thank you, I'm fine."

The mountain man smiled and handed her the umbrella: "This rain won't stop for a while, you can use it first."

Zhou Wanwan took the umbrella, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She followed the mountain man to a small wooden house, which was his home.

In the wooden house, Zhou Wanwan chatted with the mountain people. She found that this seemingly ordinary mountain people actually had unique insights into the clear breeze and bright moon in the mountains.

"The clear wind and bright moon in the mountains are not only scenery, but also a place for the soul to rest." The mountain people said, "If you feel it with your heart, you will find the inspiration you want."

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully. She began to understand that Ms. Cao's request was not unreasonable, but she hoped that she could find true inspiration from deep in her heart.

After the rain stopped, Zhou Wanwan said goodbye to the mountain people and set off on her way home. She already had a vague idea in her mind, but it would take time to perfect it.

It was already evening when Zhou Wanwan returned to the jewelry store.

She pushed open the door and found that the lighting in the store was soft. Master Zhongshan was sitting at the counter, holding a design magazine in his hand, with a focused expression.

"Wanwan, you're back." Master Zhongshan raised his head and looked at her with a smile.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, with a trace of fatigue on her face: "Yes, teacher. I gained a lot from this trip to the mountains."

Master Zhongshan put down the magazine and motioned for her to sit down: "Tell me, what did you see and feel?"

Zhou Wanwan sat opposite Master Zhongshan and began to recount her experience in the mountains: "I saw the clear stream, heard the birds singing, and felt the breeze on my face."

"But what impressed me most was that I met a mountain man in a rainstorm, who gave me an umbrella and took me to his hut."

Master Zhongshan listened quietly, nodding from time to time: "And then?"

"We talked a lot in the cabin, and he told me that the breeze and the bright moon in the mountains are not just scenery, but also spiritual sustenance. I suddenly realized that Ms. Cao's request was not unreasonable, but she hoped that I could find true inspiration from the bottom of my heart."
