[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

Neil and Daisy returned to their hometown town, and after a day's rest, they drove to the Brown couple's house.

Daisy's parents live on a small farm far from the center of the town, which can be reached by driving for more than an hour.

The Brown couple heard the sound of a car coming outside and went out to look around. When they saw Daisy and Neil get out of the car, the Brown couple, whose mental state had gradually deteriorated since hearing that Daisy was missing, couldn't help their eyes. Flushed, but a particularly happy smile appeared on his face.

Daisy felt a little guilty. She was abducted from her parents when she was about seven or eight years old. She had no memory of many things in her childhood, and she was sold to a couple who lived in a small town near the sea. The couple treated her very well. She has no enthusiasm for studying. After finishing high school in the local area, she opened a convenience store with her adoptive parents in the small town. Just a few years ago, the sudden tsunami swept the town, and most of the residents in the town lost their lives in that horrific disaster, including her adoptive parents.

But because of this, Daisy returned to her biological parents.

So Daisy can fully understand how hard her disappearance will bring to the Brown couple.

The family had a warm lunch, during which the Browns kept caring about Daisy and Neil's various life problems, until the end of the lunch, Daisy and Neil went upstairs to rest before letting them go.

The room they rested in was Daisy's former bedroom, and the arrangement inside remained the same as before, except that the small single bed was replaced by a large double bed.

There are also many toys and photos of Daisy when she was a child, the one wearing a tutu skirt holding a doll, the one holding a fish-shaped silver necklace with a big smile on her face, the one wearing a red and white patterned sweater and a black and white The puppy sits in front of the Christmas tree and unwraps presents. You can almost see Daisy's whole warm childhood from those photos.

Daisy looked at the photos carefully, with a soft smile on her face, and Neil didn't bother her, sitting quietly by the window sill and watching Daisy's silhouette.

They stayed at the small farm of the Brown couple for one night, and Daisy and Neil bid farewell to them and went home early the next morning.

"Mom and dad feel very lonely living on the farm, and we don't have much time to visit them often. I want to find a little guy to help."

On the way home, Daisy told Neil that she had thought about this matter when she went to the Brown couple's house yesterday.

Neil glanced at Daisy and said with a smile,

"What kind of little guy are you looking for?"

"Puppy." Daisy answered quickly and affirmatively, as if she had already thought about it.

So when they returned to the small town, they went directly to the only pet shop in the small town. They were greeted by two ladies around 30 years old. Daisy seemed to be familiar with them. After saying hello to each other, they said: intention.

The two ladies smiled upon hearing this,

"You guys came at such a good time," said one of them, "My Lina just had a litter of babies not long ago."

She led the two of them towards a big cage inside,

"They're cute, healthy little guys."

Daisy's heart was immediately hit by the fluffy little guys in the cage who were huddled together or screaming. She looked at those little guys with a very gentle look in her eyes.

The lady opened the cage so that Daisy could have direct and intimate contact with them. After Daisy interacted with them for a while, she became a little embarrassed again. These little guys were too cute, which made it difficult for her to make a decision.

"Neil?" She looked up at Neil as if asking for help, hoping that he could give her some advice.

Neil seemed to be a little distracted before. Hearing this, he smiled, looked around, and pointed to one of the black and white dogs with a small black spot on his forehead. It looked like a border collie and said with a smile,

"Same as the one you had when you were a kid."

So Daisy carefully carried the little milk dog out of the cage. The little milk dog was not afraid of strangers, sniffing around in Daisy's arms with its little black nose raised.

Daisy was no longer willing to let go, bought some pet supplies, and made an appointment for vaccination before returning to the car.

While driving home with the puppy in her arms, Daisy softly said while stroking the puppy sleeping peacefully on her lap,

"We've got to give her a name."

Neil took the time to look at the little milk dog, not sure,

"Little black?"

"Or Xiaobai?"

This caused Neil to get a dissatisfied stare from Daisy, and decided to ignore him for the next ten seconds.

But she soon cheered up again,

"The black and white spots on her body are like a little cow, so call her milk."

Neil raised his eyebrows, as long as Daisy is happy.

Daisy is decorating the kennel for the little milk dog who just got a name. The milk will live with them for a period of time. When she goes to the Browns' house next time, she will bring the milk with her.

Neil was sitting at the dining table, looking at the two figures, one big and one small, absently. Ever since he was in the pet store, he had the feeling of being spied on from time to time, but when Neil went to look for it, he didn't see it at all. reward.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, Daisy returned to the clothing store to continue her previous work. Neil took the milk out of the house and watched her roll and play on the grass outside the door. The neighbor next door, Andrew, just drove back. When he saw Neil, he came over to say hello ,

"I passed by your clothing store before and saw Daisy, why didn't I persuade her to continue resting for a few days, after all, she has experienced such a terrible thing."

Neil smiled politely at Andrew, and didn't say too deeply,

"Maybe it's too boring to stay at home."

Andrew seemed to remember something, and suddenly said to Neil in a somewhat mysterious way,

"I saw Pastor James again today at the coffee shop opposite the clothing store. He was sitting by the window looking into the clothing store just like last time."

Pastor James is the pastor of the town next door. When Neil first came to this town, he met Pastor James once. He was a man in his 50s and [-]s, and he was very kind and friendly. He had a relationship with the pastor here. They are friendly and often visit each other across a long distance, so Pastor James has a good relationship with most residents of this small town.

Andrew continued,

"I've seen it twice, and I'm sure he's spying on Daisy," he concluded, as if convinced of a certain speculation, "he's a scum among priests, tarnishing the glory of the Lord."

Seeing that Neil just nodded, he didn't know if he had listened, and reminded again, "You have to tell Daisy to be careful about him."

Andrew saw the little milk dog running around in a blink of an eye, and said in surprise,

"Do you have a dog?"

"It will be raised for a while."

Andrew hesitated for a moment and said,

"Don't let it get to me. My wife will be very angry if it spoils her flowers."

He took the tired milk home and wiped his body. He had just fed some food when he heard a knock on the door.

Neil couldn't think of who would come to the door at this time. After washing his hands, he walked to the door unhurriedly, but the knock on the door gradually became faster and faster, accompanied by a burst of special pain that made Neil's scalp tingle. shouted in the artificial exaggerated voice,

"Have you forgotten the little lover who has been waiting so hard to fall in love with and kill you? You heartless man."

This sound...

He probably knew which guy's gaze belonged to him before.

Neil now has a sudden urge to move.
