"Money, coins?" I was puzzled, "Is it a one-dollar coin?"
"It doesn't matter how much face value it is." The cat boss said with a smile, "I like to collect human currency, but I heard that you have changed the currency into paper recently. Then give me a coin that can be kept. "
"This, this way." Although I was a little confused, I found a one-yuan coin from my wallet and handed it to Boss Mao.
"Oh, interesting, there are portraits on it." The cat owner took the coin, flicked his tail happily, turned the coin twice against the light, and then took out an iron box with a sense of age, and put the coin solemnly Just put it in.
Over the shoulder of Boss Mao, I saw that there were many other coins in the iron box in his hand, Hongwu Tongbao from Ming Dynasty, Shunzhi Tongbao from Qing Dynasty, and some older coins that I can’t name, even more The strange thing is that these copper coins, which are obviously very old, are placed in Boss Mao's iron box, but they don't seem to get old, and they are as brand new as my one-yuan coin.
"By the way, guest." Boss Cat put away the iron box and turned around, "Did you say you wanted to find me before?"
correct! I slapped my head and almost forgot the most important thing!
I quickly dug out the letter Wen Jiubai had given me from my backpack, and handed it to Boss Mao.
"Letter?" Boss Mao took out a pair of glasses from the drawer under the table, and put them on seriously. "Whose letter is this?"
"Ah, the exorcist Wen Jiubai asked me to help bring it to you." I said hastily.
"Oh, no wonder." Boss Mao pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hands, opened the letter in his hand, and read it for a while. The letter is probably not very long, because the boss of Kung Fu Cat finished reading it in a short time. He read the letter, then looked at me, showing a somewhat incredulous expression.
What's wrong? Is there something on my face? I subconsciously touched my face with my hand.
"Fate is really a miraculous thing." The cat boss stared at me as if he had suddenly realized something, and smiled cheerfully, "Follow that guy, you still have a hard way to go. "
"I know this even if you don't need to tell me." Thinking of Wen Jiubai's virtues, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back quickly. I received the letter, and thank Mr. Wen for me when I go back." The cat boss said, putting the envelope in his arms, "Also, thank you coin."
"Where, I'm the one who wants to thank you for the noodle soup." I stood up and scratched my head in embarrassment.
"That's easy to say, come again if you like it." The cat boss said with a smile.
I nodded to the boss, and when I was about to leave along the path, I was stopped by him from behind.
"By the way, son of man. Be careful on the way back." The cat owner said, "There are some malicious things around here."
"Thank you boss, I will pay attention."
I thanked the cat boss, put on my backpack, and walked back along the mossy path.
I didn't expect there to be such a friendly monster among the monsters. Thinking of the bowl of noodles I ate, I couldn't help but smile.
I bought such a delicious bowl of noodles for one yuan, so the boss said, if you have time, come here to eat again next time.
Just when I was thinking about these messy things in my mind, I suddenly felt my feet stop, as if something was accidentally kicked down by me.
I lowered my head and saw that there was actually a vase next to this narrow path, with two white lilies stuck in it. I kicked it down at this time, and water was flowing out of it.
… When I came here just now, was there this vase by the side of the road? I muttered in my heart, but still chose to bend down, supported the vase, and put it back in its original position.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the path, blowing my hair into a mess, a chill invaded my body, and I shivered with my arms folded.
It's really cold, so let's go back quickly. Thinking of this, I quickly quickened my pace and walked out of this narrow alley along the winding path.
In the blink of an eye, I was standing on the side of Jinhua Road again, and the alley behind me disappeared, returning to the appearance of a concrete wall.
It's just... why has it become pitch black all around? I remember it was still dusk when I came here, but now, not to mention the businesses, even the street lights on the street are dark!
I quickly took out my phone to check the time, and it actually showed... 03:40 in the morning? !

"Wen Jiubai!"
I kicked open the door of the old house with a "bang", walked towards the inner room aggressively, pushed the door open again, and slapped the table with my palm. loud noise.
"Huh? I'm back at last." Wen Jiubai was sitting on the sofa in the room, with bare feet and legs crossed, playing some mobile game without looking sideways, without even looking at me.
This attitude made me even angrier, and I raised my voice, "You have the nerve to say it! After I came out of that alley, a whole day passed outside! Do you know how many classes I missed? Di Zizhen I didn't dare to lock the door of the dormitory for a whole day, and Shi Yitong and Su Xiaoyun even looked for me for a whole day. All the teachers in the School of Humanities knew that I disappeared for a whole day. If I didn't go back, they should call the police! At 3:30 p.m., I went back to school in the dark, and was marked off by the dean!"
"Isn't that great?" Wen Jiubai was smiling, his fingers were still lingering on the phone screen all the time, and he didn't seem to be listening to me at all.
"What a big-headed ghost!" I was so angry that I stepped forward and snatched Wen Jiubai's cell phone and threw it on the sofa, "I managed to impress the teachers as a good student, how are you going to compensate me!"
"Okay, okay, don't be so angry. How can life be called life if you don't suffer from being dumb." Wen Jiubai still had the same smiling expression, and there was even a bit of gloating in his expression, "Who told you not to pay attention to time? It can't be my fault."
"Why don't you pay attention to the time! I only stayed there for 20 minutes at most and just ate a bowl of noodles. How could it become a day as soon as I came out!" I complained.
"Didn't I explain this to you before?" Wen Jiubai stretched his waist and stood up from the sofa, "Different worlds have different time speeds. The last time Su Xiaoyun happened in Hundred Ghosts Night Walk Proof of this? Don't blame me for not telling you."
