Chapter 118 Strange prices in small towns

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

  Take out your phone and see the current time on it, which is 10:30 am on December 18th.

   After confirming the time, he turned around 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 hurriedly got rid of the strange thoughts in his mind, so as not to sleep in the castle tonight.

   Then, walk along the path that the car drove just now.

  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 burning sun in the sky, wiped off his sweat, and began to regret not letting Buzz drive him out.

  However, it is too late to regret now.

  He's about to reach the end of the path.

  Not far ahead, other buildings began to appear.

   Zhou Bai looked back, and saw that both 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 come from as a neighbor?

  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 candies. Who knows how many neighbors you have offended. 】

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

  In this weed pile, live many neighbors that Zhou Bai can't see now?

   Or is it that the people who make the rules have their own opinions on the distance between neighbors?

  The people in the distant village are also 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, and planned to find a small shop to fill his stomach first.

  Unfortunately, this small town is not too prosperous. Zhou Bai spent a lot of effort before he found a small shop that was open.

  He pushed open the door of the small shop.

"Jingle Bell…"

  The 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, and he takes care of all the work in the store by himself.

  He saw Zhou Bai entering the door, and greeted him warmly.

   "Hi sir, are you alone? There is a good seat by the window, I will 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.

  Hamburger costs 5 coins.

  …

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

  The shopkeeper quickly delivered Zhou Bai's order.

   Zhou Bai slammed it twice, ate the food he ordered, and then walked 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..."

  Finally, 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 all these are given to you, you still need 9 copper coins. Look... this..."

   Zhou Bai looked at the hill-like pile of coins in front of him.

   Also a little stunned.

   I didn't expect that I would be 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."

  The shopkeeper immediately smiled when he heard it,

   Then he took out one of the 5 gold coins that Zhou Bai put on the table, and wiped it with his clothes.

   Afraid 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 happily responded, "Okay."

   Then quickly returned to the kitchen.

  He didn't keep Zhou Bai waiting long, and soon he came 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 shopkeeper's flattering voice.

   "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.

  Now that you have 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 immediately 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 suits you. "

  The round-faced boss smiled and led Zhou Bai to visit the candy house that he had decorated so dreamily.

   "This pink one has a white peach flavor. The taste is 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.

  Therefore, there was no suspicion on Candy.

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

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

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

  The round-faced boss put the candy 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."
