Zhou Bai walked to the gate of the castle alone.

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

After he confirmed the time, he turned back and glanced at the castle behind him.

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

Zhou Bai quickly got rid of the strange thoughts in his mind to avoid being unable to sleep in the castle tonight.

Then, we walked along the path that the car had just driven on.

Zhou Bai just sat in the car and didn't realize how long the road was.

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

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

However, it is too late to regret now.

He will soon reach the end of the path.

Not far ahead, other buildings began to appear.

Zhou Bai looked back and saw that both sides of the path were covered with thorns and overgrown weeds.

And the old castle he lives in is like an isolated island built among these weeds.

There are no other buildings around at all.

Damn it.

Where did Zhou Bai's neighbor come from?

He remembered Rule 5 of the Christmas Eve Survival Code.

[Distributing Christmas candies to your neighbors can resolve misunderstandings and hatred. Please be sure to prepare enough candies. Who knows, how many neighbors you have offended.]

Zhou Bai couldn't help feeling cold when he thought of this.

There are many neighbors living in this weed pile that Zhou Bai can't see now?

Or do the people who make the rules have their own opinions on the distance between neighbors?

So the people in the village far away can also be considered Zhou Bai's neighbors?

Zhou Bai couldn't deduce the answer yet, so he could 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 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 town is not very prosperous either. It took a lot of effort for Zhou Bai to find a small shop that was open.

He pushed open the door of the shop.

"Jingle Bell……"

The bell hanging on the door reminds the shopkeeper that customers have arrived.

There were only three or five scattered customers in the store.

The shop owner is a young man who does all the work in the shop by himself.

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

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

He took Zhou Bai to sit down 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 sell for 1 coin.

Sandwiches cost 3 coins.

Hamburgers cost 5 coins.

…

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

The shopkeeper quickly delivered Zhou Bai's order.

Zhou Bai ate the food he ordered in a few seconds, 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 blank.

"Guest...guest, I...I'm afraid I don't have any change to give 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 find a total of 4 silver coins and 46 copper coins.

The shop owner looked at Zhou Bai embarrassedly.

"I'm really sorry. If I give you all these, I'll still be short of 9 copper coins. Look...this..."

Zhou Bai looked at the coins piled in front of him like a small mountain.

Also a little stunned.

I didn’t expect that I would be so wealthy in this copy!

He coughed lightly and then said calmly.

"Then I'll order one more hamburger, and then you can find me a bag to put these coins in. There's no need to change the rest of the money."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately smiled.

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

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

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

"Dear guest, do you want to take your burger to go or eat it here?"

Zhou Bai took the large bag of coins.

The sound of the coins colliding caused other customers in the shop to turn their heads and look in his direction.

Zhou Bai clenched the bag in his hand and said.

"Pack it up."

The shop owner happily responded, "Okay."

Then he quickly returned to the kitchen.

He didn't let Zhou Bai wait for long, and quickly walked out with a hot burger in a paper bag.

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

Behind him, there was a slightly flattering voice from the shop owner.

"Dear customer, welcome to visit again."

Zhou Bai was walking down the street with a whole bag of coins, chewing on the burger in his hand.

After realizing that his gold coins were valuable, when walking on the street, he always felt that all passers-by were looking at him.

He smiled and shook his head.

Looking up, I saw a candy store not far away.

So he ate the burger in his hand in a few bites.

Then he walked quickly towards the candy store.

Among the items we need to purchase on Christmas Eve this time, candy is a very important item.

Now that you have found a candy store, let’s go shopping first.

When Zhou Bai walked to the door of the candy store, he realized that the store seemed a little too deserted.

On the street, there were parents with children who walked near this candy store and obviously tried to distance themselves from it.

Zhou Bai felt a little confused, but he still opened the door of the candy store.

As soon as the door opened, a fleshy, round-faced boss immediately appeared in front of Zhou Bai with a smile.

"Welcome, my dear guest.

If you want to buy some candies, our store has hundreds of candies, there is always one that suits you."

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

"This pink one has the flavor of white peach. It tastes very fresh. It is 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."

When Zhou Bai saw him, he also took one and put it in his mouth.

Then he didn't become suspicious of Candy.

After the round-faced boss took Zhou Bai to visit the candy house, Zhou Bai already had three candy wrappers in his hand.

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

Before leaving, I picked two large 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 candies require a total payment of 2,000 gold coins."
