After Liao Yu left, the solemn look on Lin Mo's face still did not disappear. When he returned to the counter, he found that Liao Yu had left and he was the only one left in the bookstore.
Not only did I not feel relaxed, but I looked very worried. I thought it would be an ordinary day, but after meeting this Liao Yu, everything changed.
Although Liao Yu's problem has been solved for the time being, the discovery just now made Lin Mo feel that what happened to Liao Yu would not simply end like this, and this Liao Yu would still be around
Coming back.
The reason why Lin Mo said that sentence later was just to try and see if that sentence would change the whole thing.
Of course, he didn't have too many expectations. What he did now was just casual. Since he understood the relationship between cause and effect, Lin Mo naturally also knew that there are some things that you can't avoid just because you want to avoid them.
There is naturally a kind of cause and effect that surrounds you in this world. For example, you come to a certain place at a certain point in time, then meet a certain person, something happens, and finally a story develops.
So for such a situation, forced change will not really change anything, but the variables still exist, depending on everyone's choice and their thoughts at that point in time. Therefore, his approach, to be honest, is really boring.
.
The bookstore is already open for business, but just like yesterday, no one came in at all, which was a good thing for Lin Mo.
Yawning, he leaned on the counter and finished his meal. The sun shone in from the door. Boss Lin needed to catch up on his sleep. As for the bookstore?
Anyway, there is nothing valuable, so there is no need to take care of it, and if someone enters the bookstore, Lin Mo will definitely know about it.
In a daze, Lin Mo slowly fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of bells in his ears. His ears moved. Lin Mo slowly woke up and looked up towards the door.
There is a string of wind chimes hanging above the door of the bookstore. It is the formation eye in the formation that Lin Mo arranged in the bookstore. It is also the only magic weapon besides jade. This magic weapon cannot be said to be a magic weapon.
How powerful it is, it mainly serves as a warning.
Of course, it is also a doorbell, but the sound it makes when something femininous enters the bookstore is different from the sound it makes when it is blown by the wind.
He raised his head and glanced over the counter toward the door, but strangely, Lin Mo didn't see anyone, but he heard footsteps in his ears.
"Footsteps?"
He didn't see anyone, but he heard footsteps. Lin Mo suddenly thought of the overlapping footsteps on Liao Yu. Regarding that footsteps, Lin Mo once suspected that there was something evil following Liao Yu.
It's just that he didn't find the negative thing.
The doorbell I heard at this time was not
It was any warning sound, but Lin Mo didn't see anyone, but the footsteps were very clear, which made Lin Mo subconsciously think of what happened to Liao Yu.
Lin Mo suddenly stood up from the chair, his whole body already alert, but the next second, Lin Mo saw a figure.
He was slightly surprised, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. In front of the counter stood a child of about seven or eight years old. Seeing the child, Lin Mo knew why he heard the sound of the wind chimes but didn't see anyone.
.
The counter is relatively high, but the child is not very tall. If he does not stand up while sitting inside the counter, it is impossible for him to see the child as long as he is closer to the counter.
Lin Mo glanced at the door again, and then focused on the child, frowning slightly, a little strange.
"Kid, what's the matter with you?"
Just now, Lin Mo looked toward the door, looking for the child's parents. Generally, it would be impossible for a parent to let a child of this age come out alone. But when he looked outside, Lin Mo didn't see anyone standing there.
Wait outside.
In other words, this child most likely came to this bookstore on his own.
"Uncle, can I stay with you for a while? I don't know where my mother is, and I don't know how to find her."
This is a little girl with two pigtails, wearing a pink dress, and a pair of big eyes that are very cute. Although Lin Mo is basically immune to female sex, but seeing such a little princess,
His face couldn't help but soften a lot.
"Do you know your mother's phone number?"
Lin Mo walked to the girl and squatted down, and asked in a low voice.
"I know, it's just that I don't have a mobile phone and can't call my mother. Uncle, I want to borrow your phone here to call my mother, okay?"
It seemed that she was scared by Lin Mo before, so after Lin Mo's prompting, the little girl finally thought of the purpose of coming to the bookstore, took off a small sign from her neck, and handed it to Lin Mo.
"Call me brother and I'll make the call for you. Call me uncle and I won't call you."
Lin Mo reached out and pinched the little girl's face, and said jokingly.
"But, uncle..."
"Call me brother."
"uncle..."
"Call me brother."
... ...
After arguing for a while, the little girl was defeated in the end and reluctantly called her brother. Lin Mo then rubbed the little girl's head carelessly and said in his heart that it's done.
Lin Mo reached out to take the sign and glanced at the phone on it. Lin Mo took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on it. Not long after, the call was answered. There was a slightly anxious female voice on the other side of the phone.
.
"Hey, who is it? I have something to do now. If there is nothing else, I will come to you later.
Call you back!"
Before Lin Mo could say anything, the woman on the other side of the phone hurriedly said a few words and then hung up the phone.
Lin Mo and the little girl stared at each other, dumbfounded for a moment. They did not expect such a plot development. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mo pressed the redial button, but this time, the phone was not called.
When the call is connected, the voice prompts that the other party is currently on the call.
He put the phone on speakerphone, and then listened to the cute little girl standing in front of the counter, indicating that the call was not wrong and that it was not his fault.
"This...is your biological mother?"
Lin Mo asked subconsciously, but when he saw the little girl's mouth flattened, he instantly realized something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed a handful of snacks from the counter and handed them to the little girl's eyes.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I made a mistake~"
Children's emotions are easily affected. Lin Mo secretly complained in his heart and pressed the redial button again, but what came from the microphone was still the notification tone of the other party's call.
"How about you stay here with me for a while and I'll make the calls for you until she answers the phone?"
The little girl's attention was attracted by the pile of snacks at this time. She reached out to take it, but her hand stopped in mid-air and did not pick up the thing. She seemed to be worried about something.
But when he heard Lin Mo's words, he still nodded playfully.
"Eat, it's okay, I have a lot of snacks here."
The little girl's cautious look made Lin Mo feel a little funny. Thinking of his own childhood, he felt inexplicably envious.
"Mom said, don't let me eat food from strangers, say... talk about food from strangers..."
The little girl did not continue, but Lin Mo understood what the little girl meant.
"Okay, how about we get to know each other, my surname is Qi, you can just call me handsome brother."
Faced with such a shameless self-introduction, the little girl rolled her beautiful big eyes and gave Lin Mo a look that you know, but Lin Mo just smiled, pointed to the snack in his hand, and raised his eyebrows
.
A new round of confrontation began again, but the winner of this round was very obvious, because it was time for the little girl to introduce herself.
"My name is...my name is Little Lily, weird uncle!"
After saying this, the little girl snatched the snacks from Lin Mo's hand and ran to the back of a table. It was very interesting.
"Okay, be careful. You can choose what you want to eat. Just settle down and wait for mom here~"
Lin Mo reached out and took out the snack box behind the counter. Lin Mo didn't argue with the little girl, but with a child?
Forget it, let's just worry about it. He has to find a way to get this little girl to call him handsome brother...
