Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan was sitting in her small jewelry store, holding a grasshopper necklace she had just designed.

The grasshopper was shining silver all over, with two tiny emeralds inlaid in its eyes, and it seemed as if it would jump out of her palm at any time.

She stared at the grasshopper, frowning slightly, feeling that something was missing.

"How can I make this grasshopper more spiritual?" she said to herself.

The shop door was pushed open and the crisp sound of wind chimes interrupted her thoughts.

Qianqian walked in, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand and with that ever-easy smile on her face.

"Wanwan, are you thinking about your grasshopper again?" Qianqian sat down on the high chair in front of the counter, took a sip of milk tea, and glanced at the necklace in Zhou Wanwan's hand.

"Yeah, I always feel like something is missing." Zhou Wanwan sighed and handed the grasshopper necklace to Qianqian.

"Look, although this grasshopper is exquisite, it doesn't seem to be lively enough, as if it lacks some vitality."

Qianqian took the necklace, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly smiled:

"Wanwan, have you ever thought that the jumping of grasshoppers is actually like the change of luck for humans?"

"Change your luck?" Zhou Wanwan was stunned and frowned even more tightly. "What do you mean?"

“Look, when a grasshopper jumps, it jumps from one place to another, as if it suddenly changes direction.

Isn't it like a person suddenly encounters an opportunity and his fate changes all of a sudden? "Qian Qian said, with a gleam in her eyes.

“You can incorporate this sense of jumping into the necklace so that it is not just static, but has a dynamic beauty.”

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, as if she was enlightened by Qianqian's words.

She stood up suddenly, grabbed the design on the table, and began to draw quickly on the paper.

"Yes, yes! That's it! The grasshopper's jump is not just the jump of the body,

It is a leap of fate!" She murmured to herself as she painted, as if she and the grasshopper were the only ones left in the world.

Qianqian looked at her with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she had expected her to do this.

She took a sip of milk tea and said slowly, "Wanwan, you are always like this. Once you have an inspiration, you forget everything else."

Zhou Wanwan ignored her and continued drawing on the paper. Her pen tip was flying on the paper.

It was as if the grasshopper was really jumping under her pen. Qianqian looked at her and suddenly felt a little funny, but also a little envious.

She knew that Zhou Wanwan was such a person. Once she had an inspiration, she would devote herself to it wholeheartedly, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her.

"Wanwan, how do you plan to make this grasshopper jump?" Qianqian finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Wanwan stopped writing, looked up, and her eyes sparkled with excitement: "I want to use a spring!

The grasshopper's body is designed to be movable, so when you wear it around your neck, it will jump gently with your movements, just like a real grasshopper!"

Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then she laughed: "You really dare to think of it! But this is a good idea, quite interesting."

Zhou Wanwan smiled proudly and continued to draw her design.

Qianqian looked at her and suddenly felt a little bored, so she stood up, walked to the door of the store and looked at the street outside.

Zhou Wanwan was immersed in the design of the grasshopper necklace when the shop door was pushed open again and the crisp sound of wind chimes interrupted her thoughts.

She looked up and saw Master Zhongshan walking in with an exquisite little box in his hand.

"Teacher, why are you here?" Zhou Wanwan was a little surprised and quickly stood up to greet him.

Master Zhongshan smiled slightly, walked to the counter, and placed the small box on the table:

"I heard that you were designing a grasshopper necklace. I just happened to have an idea that might be able to help you."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to open the box. Inside was an exquisite bracelet with a tiny grasshopper inlaid on it.

The grasshopper's body is woven from silver threads, and its eyes are two tiny emeralds that seem ready to jump up at any moment.

"This... is so beautiful!" Zhou Wanwan exclaimed, carefully picking up the bracelet and looking at it carefully.

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, “The grasshopper’s jump is not only a jump of the body, but also a jump of destiny.

I thought you could incorporate this sense of jumping into the necklace so that it’s not just static, but has a dynamic beauty.”

Zhou Wanwan nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Teacher, you are right!

I was thinking of using springs to make the grasshopper's body movable so that I can wear it around my neck.

It will jump gently with the person's movements, just like a real grasshopper!"

Master Zhongshan nodded approvingly: "This is a good idea, but the design of the spring needs to be very delicate, otherwise it will affect the overall beauty."

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said worriedly: "Yes, I am also worried about this problem. The design of the spring is indeed a difficult point."

Master Zhongshan pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Perhaps, we can change our thinking.

The grasshopper's jump is not just a jump of the body, but also a jump of destiny.

We can design the grasshopper’s jump to be a symbol rather than an actual movement.”

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Teacher, what do you mean?"

Master Zhongshan smiled, picked up the design on the table, and began to draw on it:

"You see, we can design the grasshopper's body into a spiral structure.

In this way, when people wear the necklace, the grasshopper's body will rotate slightly with the person's movements, as if it is jumping."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Master Zhongshan's design, and a light gradually lit up in her eyes:

"Teacher, you are amazing! This design retains the agility of the grasshopper while avoiding the complexity of spring design."

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "This is just a preliminary idea. The specific design still needs further improvement by you."
