Just as she was thinking about these things, she stepped forward and suddenly saw the book without a cover, pretending to pick it up very casually and flipped through it, the words on it were obscure, and there were even many words that she didn't know at all...

But Lin Mo's heart that was originally playing drums sank at this time, and she could see that this book was the book that the old man in the dark ages was talking about when he was drunk, and at the same time, she could also feel that this book was faintly exuding a kind of energy.

She suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, pretended to be calm and even a little disgusted, took the book and asked:

"Uncle, how much does this book cost?"

"Five dollars a piece."

Lin Mo directly put the book in his schoolbag, picked three more at random, and took twenty yuan to the uncle.

This old man is happy, he has been getting this book for many years, and the cover is gone, and it has not been sold, and today this fat girl has sold several copies by herself, which is really a big deal.

"Uncle, drink less wine in the future, drink and make mistakes."

She still remembered how this uncle died.

At that time, the uncle had just finished telling the origin of the book, and the gate and wall of the security station were opened by several zombies with reinforced arms, and the zombies poured into the security station like a flood...

When everyone was running for their lives, Lin Mo turned around and saw that the uncle couldn't run fast because he was drunk, and he was caught by a zombie and bit off his neck.

Bloody.

The uncle was puzzled by her words, and thought that maybe he had just drunk wine, and the little girl felt that he had a bad smell of wine, and reminded him that he was afraid that he would delay his business?

"Okay. Got it. ”

Lin Mo was sure that he had bought the right book, so he hurriedly took the car back to his small restaurant.

That's right.

Lin Mo has a small restaurant.

This is what Lin Mo's parents left to her before they died, two years ago she had just finished the college entrance examination, and the family went out to the amusement park to play, and when she came back, the bus collided with a truck.

In this car accident, only Lin Mo survived.

Lin Mo went to class during the day, and the small restaurant opened at four or five o'clock in the evening.

The original tavern had two floors, the first floor was for business, and the second floor was a warehouse.

Later, in order to pay for college tuition, plus the need to live and take care of her parents' funeral, she could only sell the house she originally lived in and live on the second floor of a small restaurant.

Before the accident, the name of the small restaurant was Happy Restaurant, but later Lin Mo felt very dazzling when he looked at the word happiness, so he changed the name of this small restaurant.

It was renamed Hope Bistro.

Without happiness, she just wants hope.

Sometimes she wonders how good it would be if she could be reborn back to when she had just finished her college entrance exam, and they hadn't gone to the playground or had a car accident, and she could have prevented it from happening.

What else amusement park to go to?

Just stay at home!

Not going anywhere!

However, she still feels hopeful now, she can be reborn inexplicably, maybe her parents can also be reborn in some place she doesn't know.

Even if they really died, after entering the Dark Ages, many people died every day, starved to death, were bitten to death by zombies, were killed for looting supplies, and committed suicide.

Desperate to live, unwilling to die.

It is much more dignified to die in a normal world than to die after seeing the world collapse and suffer.

It seems that the name I changed at that time seemed to be correct.

Life in despair bloomed a small flower called hope, although Lin Mo knew that this small flower was easily beaten by wind and rain, and then withered and disappeared.

But having lived in the Dark Ages for so long, she has come to understand that there is no need to force this kind of thing, that it is a good thing to see hope, and that hope is deserved.

It's better to see the flowers bloom than to never see them bloom.

Learn to be content.

Lin Mo washed and cut the ingredients he bought in the morning, and prepared them for stir-fry at night.

She doesn't actually cook much, only a few home-cooked dishes, but business is always good in the evenings.

"Aunt Liu, you're here~ What are you eating today?"

An old lady in her sixties walked in, looking at Lin Mo with a smile on her face, as if she was looking at her granddaughter. Lin Mo also looked at the old man with a smile, this Aunt Liu was a frequent visitor in her small restaurant.

"It's good as before, I don't want to cook today, I just want to eat out."

Lin Mo's small restaurant only has three tables for two people and one table for three people.

Usually after the door opens at half past four, her business is at its best only at half past five, thanks to her neighbors, her parents are friendly people, and she has also lived in this dilapidated residential building since she was a child.

The aunts and uncles here will often come to their own restaurants and order two side dishes.

At the beginning, when I always didn't grasp the taste of food, Aunt Liu often taught her...

At that time, Aunt Liu felt that Lin Mo was slow to learn this, so she simply helped to make all the dishes directly, Lin Mo was embarrassed to let an old man in his sixties help him work for so long, and wanted to give the profit to Aunt Liu, but he was sternly refused.

I took the money and wanted to give it to the old man, but the old man didn't want the money and said that he was too outsider, saying that if he did this again, he wouldn't come to eat in the future.

That scene.

Lin Mo will never forget it for the rest of his life, some funny, and some touching.

If it weren't for these neighbors, she really didn't know how to survive.

At that time, she was like mud that couldn't support the wall, and the neighbors put straw and dried their mud in the sun, and in the end, she cheered up.

From a puddle of mud to an earthen stove.

Or a...

Big fat earthen stove.

When I thought of this, a bowl of egg fried rice and a small pot of miso soup were ready, and Lin Mo sprinkled some chopped shallots and served it. Seeing that Aunt Liu gave herself a thumbs up, Lin Mo nodded happily, as if she had been greatly encouraged.

How to say it.

In the Dark Ages, she also learned to be indifferent and selfish.

But as soon as she arrived at the restaurant, she saw these lovely neighbors, her heart also became soft, she really thought these old people were very cute, although they nagged, sometimes they didn't listen to words, but she could feel that these people were really good to her.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when Lin Mo was about to close the store, Ban Ban Hua and her boyfriend next door suddenly walked in during the day, and Ban Hua was obviously proud when she saw Lin Mo.

Lin Mo sighed, it's really ghostly...

It seems that he ignored her during the day, and this is coming to the door.

"Yo, I was joking when those people in the class were joking, but I didn't expect it to be true, are you really here? Is this your store? ”

Before Lin Mo could answer, there was an expression of disgust and disdain on the face of this class of flowers, as if there were bacteria here that would make her sick in minutes.

"Tsk, this decoration is really not up to standard, Hani, should we change it." This place feels so greasy. It's disgusting. ”
