[xi-] Xena is in [1] front of the [-(e)n] infirmary where she works for a 薪 salary. She holds a warrior 斤 hoe and tends to the 艹 flowers. Meanwhile, a 立 guard wearing some red cross clothes sits on a branch in a 木 tree nearby, monitoring her. Each time she takes a break, the 立 guard yells out "THAT WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM YOUR 薪 SALARY!" Xena wishes she didn't need a 薪 salary to fund her warrior lifestyle.
