Deep in the mountains and deep valleys, sparkling streams, towering ancient trees, and blooming flowers...
This was not a paradise, but a nameless grave.
A piece of dirt was hidden under the wild weeds, and the wind and rain eroded it, so it was hard to see its original appearance. Not far away, there was a mottled stone tablet. Under the golden cover of the tablet, there seemed to be blood dripping, but there was a silent sadness...
The soldiers died for the country, and their souls blessed the land!
This wasn't a tombstone, it was just an ordinary empire boundary monument. It silently declared the border of the empire.
In front of the boundary tablet.
Nie Manting stood in the cold mountain breeze, looking at the eight characters. She didn't move at all. There wasn't a trace of emotion on her beautiful face, but her eyes couldn't hide her melancholy, sadness, guilt, and hatred.
"Chief, it's... it's time to return. Otherwise... we won't be able to return to the sentry posts before dark." Beside Nie Manting, a young soldier reminded her carefully, but his eyes were full of suspicion and curiosity.
From the rising sun to the setting sun, the young female colonel, who had three stars, had been staring blankly at the boundary stone in front of her for an entire day. If it weren't for the female colonel, they wouldn't have known that the area around the remote boundary stone, which had been eroded by the wind and rain and covered by weeds, was actually a grave.
"It's time for me to leave." Nie Manting sighed slightly. The depression in her eyes was hidden. She turned around and was about to leave. However, at this moment, the glimmer of light in the grass entered her eyes, causing her to stop moving. She then quickly turned around and used her trembling slender hands to push the grass away. However, her usually calm face could no longer contain her excitement and joy.
It was a military medallion, and under the setting sun, it seemed to be painted with a touch of coquettish blood. On the front of the military medallion, two unsheathed swords were crisscrossed, revealing their sharpness. This was the "Dragon Thorn", the glorious one, and now it became a taboo name in the army.
Nie Manting picked up the military medallion with trembling hands and could not wait to turn the back of it.
On the back of the military card, a funny clown pattern appeared vividly. Her heart suddenly trembled at this moment. The distant memory hidden in the bottom of her heart, which she had not dared to touch for several years, rushed over like a surging tide...
At the bottom of his heart, the familiar but ethereal hoarse voice floated up, "There is a card in the poker game. It represents innocence, kindness, comicalness, sillyness, happiness, and unique... It is a clown, but it has another name... a trump card!"
"He's back... he's back..."
Nie Manting held the military medallion tightly and whispered in her heart. Then, she couldn't help crying out loud, hysterical, sorrowful, helpless, and ecstatic...
The pearl of March was burning hot, and the heat waves in the air were churning, making people breathless.
Su Can felt like a piece of cream that had been melted by the sun. The sticky T-shirt was sticking to her body, and she looked at the towering office building in front of her powerlessly...
Although he had absorbed the morning's water, he could not turn it into the breakfast without food. He touched his shriveled belly and looked at the wallet in his hand, which was cleaner than his face. If he had been weak before, he would have died now.
What was a white-collar worker?
The white-collar worker was the salary he had just received last night. It was an unrestrained night. Today, he saw that the white-collar worker was a white-collar worker again!
"It's still 29 days before the next salary. How can I live..."
Thinking of the strange woman who slept like a dead pig when she fled from the express hotel in the morning, Su Can felt that her head began to hurt again after being drunk. It was a pity that she had accumulated for the past month.
But on second thought, although the woman's chest was a little poor, her face was beautiful, her figure was a little straight, and her skin was also good... Moreover, it seemed that she had been out of thin air last night. It was considered as a contribution to the human gene library.
Su Can shook his head and walked to the company. This was the work of a women's clothing design company called Beauty Clothes. Although the company was only a subsidiary of the Qian Group, it had its own exclusive office building in the prosperous area of Mingzhu. It was also a kind of strength to go in and out of a large group of beautiful women.
It was said that the proportion of men and women in the company was surprisingly high. According to the theory of probability, there were naturally more beautiful women in places with more women. Being able to become a male employee of such a company, it was absolutely a worthy source of pride to have a large number of people lose their jobs every day.
However, for Su Can, other than the day of her salary, her mood for work everyday was even heavier than that of going to the grave...
"Comrade Little Su, you're late again." As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw the receptionist rolling her eyes at him with a playful smile on her delicate face. "You're late every day. Be careful, or I'll beat you up."
"How can I be late every day?" Su Can leaned against the front desk powerlessly. She looked around with her eyes and said with a serious face, "Zhu Peiya's shoes, don't frame me. I'm only five days late a week."
Zhu Peipei was stunned at first, then pursed her lips and giggled. She then looked around the lobby with her big eyes and leaned forward mysteriously to get closer to Su Can. "I heard that the head office has sent another general to be the vice president of the company. He's about to take office today. Take care of yourself for the next two days."
"Really?" Su Can immediately cooperated and put on a surprised look, but her eyes fell on the collar of the man's tilted body...
Su Can swallowed her saliva. He had always felt that the black dress and the partly visible white shirt were the most sexy urban white-collar clothes. It seemed to have nothing to do with who the head office would send to be the vice president.
"You're so annoying. Where are you looking at?" Zhu Peipei's pretty face was slightly red. She covered her collar with her hands and rolled her eyes at Su Can. However, the shy expression on her face was even more alluring.
"Hehe!" Su Can grinned and leaned forward with a sneaky look on his face. "How about treating you to dinner tonight? What do you mean by 'it's not bad'? You can order Chinese and western food as much as you like, such as fried cabbage with fat sausage, fried eggplant with oil, banana with sugar, sausage with worry... "
"Pervert!" Zhu Peipei's face was so red that it looked as if it could make water. She gave Su Can a shy look.
"Hey, what does this have to do with perverts?" Su Can was greatly surprised. He looked at the blushing Zhu Peipei with a puzzled expression. Could he have said something wrong?
"You're so annoying. You can eat it yourself." Zhu Peipei held up the booklet and pretended to hit him...
Su Can shook his head. "Sigh, young people nowadays don't know how to respect the old and love the young at all."
"What do you think of the fried pork with bamboo shoots?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind. Zhu Peipei, who had been laughing and cursing, had turned pale and bowed in a panic.
"Uh... this doesn't suit my taste..."
Su Can, who had been acting in a careless manner, shivered and was about to run away...
