Coming soon: Spring in the Nine Frontier Garrisons
Yanmen Pass, the foremost of the Nine Frontier Garrisons, recently issued an edict of clemency.
Women convicted of crimes at court and exiled were to be granted military merit on the spot, then awarded as wives to the soldiers stationed at Yanmen Pass.
For Helan Cui, who was disguised as a man, this was no reward. It was a death sentence.
To save someone, she steeled herself and took in Chi Yingxue, who was about to be sent to a camp for military prostitutes.
Everyone waited to see the joke:
Could a poor centurion with barely enough food to eat support this frail young woman who looked half-dead already?
But then...
On Chi Yingxue's first day in the house, smoke rose from the ruined kitchen, and the Helan family enjoyed meat soup for the first time in ages.
On her third day, a newly made Eight Immortals table appeared in the Helan family's courtyard.
Half a month later, Chi Yingxue concocted "smokeless, sleep-soothing charcoal" and traded it for a cartload of grain and oil.
Then the northern barbarians launched a night raid, and Helan Cui returned gravely wounded.
In the candlelit side room, Chi Yingxue cut open her blood-soaked clothes, then froze mid-motion.
Beneath the layers of binding cloth lay the secret behind her "fatal affliction."
To keep the family's rice jar full forever,
the two girls, each with a thousand schemes up her sleeve, struck a deal.
Winter snow may blanket the land for many days and nights.
But even this desolate corner of the Nine Frontier Garrisons will one day welcome
the spring of all things.
Main story:
Su Yang was an ordinary office worker in the city, living an unremarkable life.
During her escape in the apocalypse, a mysterious System selected her and assigned her a mission:
Build an "Apocalypse Inn."
Then the System began issuing one task after another:
[Clean the inn] [Repel the zombies]...
Su Yang held her head in her hands. How was this running an inn?
She had to be a cleaner, a security guard, and a nanny all at once?
You could call it finding a new job after being laid off...
System: Host can draw cards to win exciting System gift bundles!
Draw: Stone x1... Iron x2...
Su Yang: This game is unplayable.
System: Host can increase the luck of prize draws by accommodating guests.
At last, the first guest arrived.
She took off her hood, revealing Li Ge, the boss who made her work overtime every day.
Su Yang: That despicable capitalist? Tell her to get lost.
System: Host drew one deluxe four-piece set.
Su Yang: Don't go! Sunshine Inn welcomes you!
Theme: Even in the darkness, hold on until the day dawns
This book also ends with flowers. Overall, I feel that this book is a very delicate Lily novel, which is rare to see. The relationship between Li Ge and Su Yang is written in very detail, without any explicit description, but the atmosphere is really indescribable. In this apocalyptic background, Su Yang can maintain his kindness, and Li Ge can Risking life to save Su Yang, and the relationship between Professor Zhang and Chen Mo are quite unique. Although I feel that the ending is too sloppy, in general, I can read this kind of novel during my recent literary shortage. It is really like water in the desert. But is it possible for you to write a few more extras [cover your face and peek][cover your face and peek]
Ah, this ending is indeed unexpected, but it is in line with the foreshadowing of the previous chapter.
It's a bit strange that I can't contact the system. What kind of energy blocked it? If the system can build a hotel out of the void, it must be the existence of Gaowei. The collected fragments can upgrade the hotel. Now I've dug a lot of holes. I'm afraid I'll forget to fill them in later.
Wow, is there any foreshadowing of little Susu's identity? What kind of experimental body was recovered? Is this a hint? And welcome back, this sentence is also worth thinking about.
The hotel is getting better and bigger and bigger 💪
Can we have some more extras [covering face and peeking] [covering face and peeking]
Do you want your plot to end at the speed of light? It was originally attracted by this type of writing, but it turned out that the system was broken and it was no longer interesting.
This plot twist really caught me off guard. Suddenly the cozy hotel turned hostile? Ah, I thought it was farming mode at first, but now it's brainteaser mode.
Ah, it's gone? Let's do some extras
Wow, this turn of events is surprising. The road to entrepreneurship collapsed. This is the author warning everyone not to start a business and open a hotel.
