Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in her jewelry store, tapping her fingers on the table, her eyes wandering out the window.

Her shop is not big, and all kinds of jewelry are hung on the walls. Each piece is like a child in her heart, unique.

"Wanwan, have you heard? Wang Shi wants a special bracelet, about autumn." Qianqian's voice came from the door, she pushed the door open with a hint of excitement on her face.

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw her best friend's energetic face. The pressure in her heart seemed to be relieved a little. "Autumn bracelet? What kind does she want?"

"She said she wanted the brilliant colors of autumn and the beauty of withering and dying." Qianqian walked to Zhou Wanwan and patted her shoulder gently. "I know this is a challenge for you, but you also know that you are the best."

Zhou Wanwan smiled bitterly, "It's really stressful, Qianqian. You know how high my requirements for handicrafts are."

"That's right, that's why your work is so popular." Qianqian encouraged, "Just think about it, if you can make a bracelet that has both the splendor of autumn and the beauty of withering, how shocking it would be."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath, and the anxiety in her heart slowly turned into an urge to create.

She stood up, walked to the workbench, and began to search for materials. "I need some special materials, such as dried leaves and those that represent autumn colors."

Qianqian followed her and watched her busy figure. "Do you need my help to find something?"

"Help me find some golden beads and those dark brown wooden beads." Zhou Wanwan said as she started to design the sketch.

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan devoted almost all her energy to this project.

She selected the most perfect dried leaves and fixed them to the bracelet using a special technique. Each bead was carefully selected to ensure that the color and texture can perfectly present the feeling of autumn.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the bracelet in her hand. The dry leaves looked dim in the sunlight, as if they lacked vitality.

A feeling of uneasiness welled up in her heart. She knew Wang Shi's expectations, and she also knew that her work had not reached that level.

"I need some new inspiration," she muttered to herself, her eyes wandering around the corners of the shop.

"Are you going to find inspiration?" Qianqian asked. She knew Zhou Wanwan's habit. Whenever she encountered a creative bottleneck, she would go to that special place.

Zhou Wanwan nodded. She knew that she couldn't find new inspiration in the jewelry store. That place was the source of her inspiration.

In the evening, Zhou Wanwan came to the old forest.

Summer has passed and autumn is approaching. Most of the leaves in the woods have turned yellow and some have begun to fall.

Zhou Wanwan walked into the woods, looking for traces of summer.

"I need some bright colors," she said to herself, searching the woods.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped under a tree, where there was a particularly green leaf, which stood out even in the autumn woods.

Zhou Wanwan walked over and observed the leaf carefully.

"Is this the last leaf of summer?" she said to herself, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

She decided to take the leaf back to the store, perhaps it could bring her new inspiration.

Zhou Wanwan carefully put the leaf into her bag and returned to the jewelry store. She decided to take a break and continue her creation tomorrow.

However, when she opened the bag the next day, the leaf had withered and its color had become much duller.

Zhou Wanwan felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she did not give up.

“Even though it’s withered, I believe it once had the vitality of summer,” she said to herself, and then she started to work.

She fastened the withered leaf to one end of the bracelet and then connected the bright beads with a golden chain.

In her own way, she connected the withered leaf with the bright beads, making them one.

When the bracelet was finished, Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath. She knew that this bracelet had exceeded her expectations. It represented the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.

"This is what I want." Wang Shi said excitedly when she saw the bracelet.

Zhou Wanwan smiled, she knew her work had reached a new height...

Zhou Wanwan's bracelet was recognized by Wang Shi, which made her full of confidence in her creation.

She decided to continue exploring new inspirations and bring more pieces to her jewelry store.

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan brought Qianqian to an abandoned factory.

This place was once a prosperous place in the city, but now it has been forgotten by time and looks desolate and mysterious.

"Why did you bring me here?" Qianqian asked puzzledly, looking at the desolate scene around her.

"I believe that the inspiration I'm looking for is hidden in this factory." Zhou Wanwan replied, her eyes wandering around the corners of the factory.

They walked into the factory, and the silence made Qianqian feel uneasy.

However, Zhou Wanwan seemed to be in a world full of stories. Looking at the old machines in the factory and the mottled marks on the walls, she seemed to see the former prosperity of this place.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped on a rusty gear. The gear looked ordinary, but Zhou Wanwan felt it was full of charm.

"This gear has witnessed the rise and fall of this factory. Its trace is the mark of time. I want to incorporate this trace into my work and let them be reborn together." Zhou Wanwan said to herself, her heart filled with excitement.
