Rules Strange Story: My Family is Not Normal

The car that Boots was driving was still parked in front of the alley from last time.

Zhou Bai was afraid that the old man's hearing was not very good, which would hinder their communication.

Just bring your notebook and pen with you.

He got out of the car and walked down the alley.

Ever since he pricked his hand before, Zhou Bai never heard that retro voice again.

The alley was very quiet, and there were no pedestrians walking around.

Zhou Bai quickly walked to the alley where the record store was.

Zhou Bai turned into the alley, and from a distance, he saw the incomplete light sign above the record store at the end of the alley, which was lighting up.

The shop door was open.

The skinny old man sat on the recliner.

His eyes turned to where Zhou Bai was.

He looked like this, as if he was waiting for Zhou Bai's arrival.

Zhou Bai walked towards the record store.

However, when he got closer and closer, until he slowly saw the appearance of the old man, the whole person froze in place.

I saw the old man sitting on the reclining chair, already skinny, as if he was about to lose his life.

Zhou Bai looked at him, and felt that his whole heart was being pulled.

Compared with the last time we met, he looked like he was ten years older.

All hair is white.

The wrinkles on the face were as deep as ravines.

Zhou Bai felt very shocked.

He didn't know what the old man had experienced in just two days.

Zhou Bai only felt that a bad premonition was slowly coming to his mind.

He stopped.

But after hesitating for a while, he continued towards the record store and walked over.

In the hand of the old man, he was holding a record at this time.

Seeing Zhou Bai approaching, he held onto the table next to him with trembling hands, and stood up from the chair with great effort.

"Guest, are you here to buy records today?"

His voice was much weaker.

His eyes turned to Zhou Bai, and he held the record tightly in his hand.

Zhou Bai also looked at the record in his hand.

He felt that it was very possible that this was the record he needed.

Moreover, it seemed that as long as I asked that question again, I could easily get this record.

The more this happened, Zhou Bai's feeling of uneasiness became heavier and heavier.

Things that can be obtained too easily always make people feel that there is no sense of security.

Therefore, he hesitated and did not immediately answer the old man in front of him.

The old man couldn't wait for Zhou Bai's answer, the brilliance in his eyes seemed to dim a bit.

Zhou Bai looked at him, and finally opened his mouth, repeating the question he asked when he first came here.

"Excuse me, is there a record here that contains the song "Jingle Bells"?"

When the old man heard Zhou Bai's question, his eyes lit up again.

"Yes, this is the one in my hand."

Sure enough, it was the same as Zhou Bai guessed.

It's just that he didn't feel happy about it.

"I found it in the warehouse on purpose these two days."

The old man looked at Zhou Bai, probably afraid that he might become suspicious, so he quickly added.

Looking at the record, Zhou Bai wondered if there was a flaw.

But there wasn't much room for him to choose.

So, he still reached out, wanting to take the record.

I plan to go back to the castle and study it first.

Then decide whether to play the record on Christmas Eve.

However, just as Zhou Bai stretched out his hand, the old man suddenly put the record in his arms.

"You have to promise me one condition before I sell this record to you."

Zhou Bai looked at the old man vigilantly, "What condition?"

The old man was holding the record, but his eyes looked beyond Zhou Bai to the distance.

"On Christmas Eve, I hope to stand on the watchtower of the old castle and take a look at the scenery outside."

As soon as Zhou Bai heard the old man's request, the cordon in his heart began to tighten.

Seeing that Zhou Bai didn't speak, the old man continued.

"I don't have much time left, I hope you can help me realize this wish."

Zhou Bai's reason told himself that he should not influence his decision just because of someone else's words.

So, he tried his best not to look at the old man's expression, but continued to think about the pros and cons.

What scenery can there be outside the castle?

Outside the castle, apart from the tomb, there is grass.

And the dying wish of this old man was to take a look at those graves and weeds?

Then, it is very possible.

It is he who understands what happened 10 years ago.

If this is the case, his joining may be unavoidable at all.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai looked up at the old man.

He looked at Zhou Bai with hope in his eyes.

Zhou Bai looked at the wrinkles on his face.

The old man obviously didn't want Zhou Bai to get the record at first.

But he suddenly changed his mind.

The reason for this should be related to his sudden aging state.

This incident made it even more difficult for the old man to distinguish whether he was an enemy or a friend.

Zhou Bai looked at the old man in front of him with probing eyes.

Finally, she reached out to him.

"Yes, I promise you this condition."

So the old man laughed.

However, no matter how he smiles on his wrinkled face, it makes people feel sad.

He handed the record to Zhou Bai's hand.

When Zhou Bai took the record, he immediately felt his hands feel heavy.

He held the record and notebook together in his hand, and then said to the old man.

"At 6 o'clock in the evening on the 24th, I will hold a party in the castle.

I would like to invite you to participate. "

The old man is still smiling.

He nodded to Zhou Bai, "No problem, I will definitely be there on time."

Thus, Zhou Bai got a harvest, the fifth guest at the Christmas Eve party.

Today's progress is much smoother than he expected.

After Zhou Bai bid farewell to the old man, he took the record and followed the original path to the main road.

In the following time, Zhou Bai walked to the small restaurant.

I had lunch there, and by the way, I ordered all the meals for the dinner on the 24th with the boss.

After all, it's fine for Zhou Bai to eat the food made by Boots himself.

It still feels impolite to take it out to entertain guests.

The owner of the restaurant took a big order, of course he was smiling.

He smiled and accepted Zhou Bai's deposit.

"It seems that on the 24th, I need to close the store for a day."

Zhou Bai smiled and took a bite of the sandwich. He didn't intend to express any opinion on his decision.

"Don't worry, I will definitely prepare well and deliver the food to the castle on time.

After delivering your order, I'll just be able to go home and spend Christmas Eve with my family. "

The restaurant owner's face is full of joy.

Looking forward to the upcoming Christmas Eve.

Zhou Bai took a sip of coffee.

Smiling and looking at the owner of the restaurant.

I am also happy that the other party can obtain this ordinary little happiness.
