Rules Strange Story: My Family is Not Normal

Zhou Bai walked to the gate of the castle by himself.

He took out his phone and saw the current time displayed on it, which was 10:30 am on December 18th.

After confirming the time, he turned his head and glanced at the old castle behind him.

I just feel that looking up from this distance, the building looks even more huge, like a monster.

Zhou Bai quickly got rid of the strange thoughts in his mind, so as not to sleep in the castle tonight.

Then, he walked along the path that the car just drove by.

As soon as Zhou Bai sat in the car, he didn't realize how long the road was.

Now walking by myself, I feel that this road seems to have no end.

He looked up at the hot sun in the sky, wiped off his sweat, and began to regret not letting Boots drive him out.

However, it is too late to regret now.

He was about to reach the end of the path.

Not far ahead, other buildings began to appear.

Zhou Bai looked back, and saw that the two sides of this path were covered with thorns and weeds.

And the old castle where I live is like an isolated island built among these weeds.

There are no other buildings around.

Damn it.

Where did Zhou Bai's neighbor come from?

He remembered Rule 5 of the Christmas Eve Survival Rules.

【Distributing Christmas candy to your neighbors can resolve misunderstanding and hatred. Please be sure to prepare enough candy. Who knows how many neighbors you have offended. 】

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai couldn't help feeling cold.

In this pile of weeds, are there many neighbors that Zhou Bai can't see now?

Or do those who make the rules have their own opinions about the distance between neighbors?

Are the people in the distant village considered Zhou Bai's neighbors?

Zhou Bai is still unable to deduce the answer, so he can only put this question aside for the time being, and then find a way to collect more information.

It took Zhou Bai a full two hours to walk from the ancient castle to the nearest town.

When I finally saw a shop, it was already 12:30 noon.

He touched his already hungry stomach, planning to find a small shop to fill his stomach first.

It's a pity that this small town is not too prosperous, and Zhou Bai spent a lot of effort before he found a small shop that was open.

He pushed open the door of the shop.

"Jingle Bell……"

A bell hanging on the door reminds the owner of the arrival of customers.

There are only sporadic three or five customers in the store.

The owner of the store is a young man who takes care of all the work in the store by himself.

When he saw Zhou Bai entering the door, he greeted him warmly.

"Hi sir, are you alone? There is a good seat by the window, I'll take you there."

He took Zhou Bai to sit by the window, and then handed him a menu.

Zhou Bai looked at the contents on the menu.

Lemon tea costs 2 coins.

Poached eggs cost 1 coin.

Sandwiches cost 3 coins.

Hamburgers cost 5 coins.

...

Zhou Bai weighed the money in his pocket, and then very restrained, he only ordered a cup of lemon tea and a sandwich.

The shop owner quickly delivered Zhou Bai's order.

With three or two clicks, Zhou Bai ate the food he ordered, and then went to the counter to pay.

When Zhou Bai took out 5 gold coins and placed them in front of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's expression was obviously stunned.

"Guest...guest, I...I'm afraid I don't have any change for you."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he quickly took out all the coins from his cabinet.

"1 silver coin, 2 silver coins, 3 silver coins..."

"10 copper coins, 20 copper coins, 30 copper coins..."

In the end, the shopkeeper counted all the coins in his cabinet, and could only get together 4 silver coins and 46 copper coins in total.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Bai in embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry, if I give you all these, you still need 9 copper coins. Look... this..."

Zhou Bai looked at the coins piled up in front of him like a hill.

Also a little stunned.

I didn't expect that I was so rich in this dungeon!

He coughed lightly, then pretended to be calm and said.

"Then I'll order another hamburger, and then you find me a bag to put these coins in. You don't have to look for the rest of the money."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately had a smile on his face.

Then he took out one of the five gold coins that Zhou Bai put on the table, and wiped it with his clothes.

Fearing that Zhou Bai would regret it, he quickly put it in his pocket.

He found a bag, put all the other coins on the table in it, and then handed it to Zhou Bai with a smile.

"Dear guest, is your hamburger packed or eaten here?"

Zhou Bai took the big bag of coins.

The sound of the coin colliding caused other customers in the shop to turn their heads to look at him.

Zhou Bai clenched the bag in his hand and said.

"Pack it up."

The shopkeeper responded happily, "Okay."

Then quickly returned to the kitchen.

He didn't keep Zhou Bai waiting long, and quickly walked out with a hot hamburger in a paper bag.

Zhou Bai took the paper bag he handed over, and walked out of the small shop with a whole bag of coins in his hand.

Behind him was the slightly obsequious voice of the owner.

"Dear customer, welcome to visit us again."

Zhou Bai was walking down the street with a whole bag of coins, nibbling on the hamburger in his hand while walking.

After realizing that his gold coins are very valuable, walking on the street, he always feels that all passers-by are looking at him.

He smiled and shook his head.

Looking up, a candy store appeared not far away.

So he took three or two bites and ate the burger in his hand.

Then he walked quickly towards the candy store.

The items to be purchased on Christmas Eve this time, candy is a very important thing in it.

Now that you've found a candy store, let's go shopping first.

It wasn't until Zhou Bai walked to the door of this candy store that he realized that the store seemed a little too deserted.

On the street, there are parents with children, walking near this candy store, they all clearly try to distance themselves from it.

Zhou Bai felt a little puzzled, but he still pushed open the door of this candy store.

As soon as the door opened, a chubby boss with a round face appeared in front of Zhou Bai with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, my dear guest.

If you want to buy some candies, there are hundreds of candies in this store, and there is always one that is suitable for you. "

The round-faced boss smiled and led Zhou Bai to visit his dreamy candy house.

"This pink one has a white peach flavor. It smells very fresh. It's the most suitable gift for girls."

After he finished speaking, he took a candy from the box and handed it to Zhou Bai.

"you can try."

Zhou Bai saw that he also took one and put it in his mouth.

He didn't become suspicious of Candy.

After the round-faced boss showed Zhou Bai around the candy house, Zhou Bai already had 3 candy wrappers in his hand.

Zhou Bai ate the candy in his mouth, and was very satisfied with the quality of the candy in this store.

Before leaving, he picked two big bags of candies and prepared to take them away.

The round-faced boss put the candies in front of the counter, quickly wrote and drew in his notebook, and then quoted a sky-high price.

"Hello guest, these two bags of candy need to pay a total of 2000 gold coins."
