The next post was from a person holding a cell phone and pointing it at a kitten whose fur was wet. “On the way home from work today, I saw this poor thing. It was stormy outside. I hesitated, but I couldn’t help but bring it back…”
William finished watching and said, “These are all videos of rescue cats and dogs…” They were all good deeds. It seemed that this time, they had nothing to do with ghosts.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of a car engine outside the door. It was Alex.
William recalled that when he came back yesterday afternoon, Mia and her father had brought back two dogs. One of them was dead, and he heard that it was killed by a car. Mia originally wanted to bury the dead dog directly in the forest in the back garden, but his Grandma was worried that the dogs corpse would rot and leave a smell. In the past, they would not think much of it, but now that there was a delicate and soft sister at home, Grandma paid special attention to these things. She was afraid that if Mia went over to play, she might smell the odor, or that Gold would dig a pit and be infected with a virus. Moreover, Seven was very naughty. What if he went to peck at some dog fur and brought it back and infected Mia? At that time, Grandpa refuted Grandma, saying that she had never been so particular in the past. Grandma said that it was because there were no children in the family in the past. William was unhappy at that time. Could it be that they were not children? In the end, Grandma said that he, his elder brother, Lucas, and Harper were boys with thick skin. Although Emma was a girl, she was very tough. Mia was different. She was delicate and tender. What if she got sick? In the end, they all felt that what she said made sense…
So, Alex cremated the dog and said that he would get it back after the cremation.
William: “Sister, did you say that you wanted to bury the dog in the forest behind? Have you dug the pit? I’ll help you dig!!
Amelia was focused on watching the video. When she heard this, she waved her hand. “There’s no need. Daddy can dig. Daddy can dig a hole easily. It’s amazing!
William was unhappy. Was he not amazing?
“No, I have to dig this pit!” William said and ran out.
Amelia said, “Huh?” She could only put away her cell phone and run out as well.
Emma’s room was ajar. She stuck her head out. “What? You guys want to dig a hole? I’ll do it too!” With that, she took advantage of Lucas’s inattention to sprint down the stairs!
Lucas said, “Emma! Stop right there!”
Emma ran even faster.
Alex had an urn in his hand and was about to call out to Mia when he saw William, Emma, and Amelia rushing down the stairs. He quickly opened his hand. William and Emma couldn’t stop themselves and crashed into Alex’s arms on either side. Alex caught them and was about to put them down when he saw Amelia running toward him. He immediately threw Emma and William down and caught Amelia.
Emma and William, who had fallen to the ground, grimaced.
“Uncle Alex, give me the urn!” William grabbed the urn and ran.
Emma followed behind. “Mrs. Taylor! Where’s the hoe! Where’s the shovel!
Hurry up and get me one!”
Lucas, who was at the back, was speechless. Childish, too childish!
Nine, who came out of her room when she heard the commotion: Was it necessary?
In the small forest in the Walton residence’s backyard, William, Emma, Nine, and Lucas each held a shovel. William and Emma dug very quickly. Nine was speechless. What was there to fight for? But when she joined the digging team, she suddenly realized that how could she lose? She was so good at catching ghosts. How could she lose to others in digging a hole? That was impossible!
Hence, Nine also dug faster and faster. Only Lucas was left standing coldly at the side. He would never do such an inelegant thing. He had his own principles!
Mrs. Walton was speechless. “If I had known that you liked digging pits so much, I would have let you guys dig the vegetable fields behind me.”
Amelia hugged the dogs urn and was stunned. “Wow, my brothers and sisters are so awesome! Come on, come on!” She dug around in her pocket. She happened to have four candies. One for Brother William, one for Sister Emma, one for Sister Nine, and the last one was hers!
Lucas glanced at the candy in Amelia’s hand. Forget it. These people couldn’t dig a hole properly. He had to do it. So, Lucas joined the digging team.
Everyone:
Amelia looked at the candy in her hand. Boohoo, Brother Lucas wanted one too. Then she would have nothing to eat…
After a while, the pit was dug. Amelia placed the dogs ashes inside. The stray dog seemed to know that the box in front of it contained its companion. It lay silently by the pit and looked down at the urn inside..
