Uncle's Headache
I'm home...
Susie Murray looked at the courtyard in front of her. It was a bit empty, but she felt a strange resonance she couldn't quite explain.
This was her grandfather's house, but it was also home. However, there was another feeling here that she recognized from her dreams. Although the scenes in her dreams were blurry, she now felt a sense of familiarity.
Kellen Morton led Susie Murray straight to the ancestral hall and stopped in front of the courtyard.
"Your grandparents and great-grandparents are buried inside," Kellen Morton asked softly. "Would Susie Murray like to go in and light a stick of incense and bow to them?"
Kellen Morton looked at Susie Murray, and his heart tightened when he saw her look at the ancestral hall. What if she refused?
Unexpectedly, the little girl answered crisply, "Okay."
Her grandfather had said that her father and great-grandfather were great guardian gods who deserved everyone's respect. Therefore, she should also show respect, even though she didn't know them yet. But it didn't matter because she would get to know them in the future.
Susie Murray said firmly, "I will light incense for my great-grandfather, grandparents."
Kellen Morton's throat felt tight, and his voice became hoarse. "Good, you really are your father's little good girl."
He walked towards the entrance of the ancestral hall with steady steps. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Susie Murray, you haven't called me 'Dad' yet."
This little girl had called her great-grandfather and grandparents first, and he was ranked fourth?
He was surprised when he saw Susie Murray staring at the door frame without answering.
"Susie Murray?" Kellen Morton asked in confusion.
Susie Murray looked at him, blinked, and finally gave a positive answer, "Dad!"
"Hey!" Kellen Morton's heart skipped a beat, and he floated towards the door. As a result, his head hit the door frame with a bang.
The guards who were hiding in the dark, ???
Susie Murray seemed to have been prepared for this and leaned her little head on Kellen Morton's shoulder at that moment. Not a hair was harmed.
She looked at the door frame and then at Kellen Morton's head.
Wow, her tall dad was really that high. He could actually hit the door frame.
Let's do it again!
Kellen Morton groaned.
What the hell, he hit the door frame?
He was 1.94 meters tall, and the ancestral hall door was indeed a bit low, but he had never hit it before.
But his little good girl had such fast reflexes! He hadn't even reacted yet, and she had already leaned down.
Just as he was praising her in his heart, Susie Murray suddenly whispered, "Let's do it again!"
Kellen Morton, ?
Susie Murray quickly covered her mouth.
"Oh no, how did I say what I was thinking out loud?"
Kellen Morton asked, "What did you say?"
Susie Murray quickly waved her hand and said, "Susie Murray didn't say anything, it was the grandfather at the door who said it."
Kellen Morton's lips curled up slightly, unable to resist a smile. What a clever little ghost!
Kellen Morton put Susie Murray down and led her to the three memorial tablets. He picked up six incense sticks and lit them, giving Susie Murray three sticks and holding three himself.
Kellen Morton didn't kneel to the heavens and earth, but in front of his parents and grandfather, he didn't hesitate to kneel down and kowtow.
He smiled and said, "Grandfather, guess who this is?"
"Surprised, right? Your grandson even has this Delia little girl, so lovely!"
Over the years, the thing he couldn't let go of was the last look with his grandfather. He turned his head, and his grandfather was also looking at him. When he looked back again, there was only his grandfather's bloody back.
He knew that was the last time, but he didn't have time to say a word...
"Come on, Susie Murray, call Great Grandfather."
Susie Murray imitated Kellen Morton's posture, knelt on the cushion and shouted, "Great Grandfather!"
Kellen Morton's throat was a bit hoarse as he said, "Call Grandpa and Grandma."
Susie Murray said, "Grandpa and Grandma!"
After that, she kowtowed like Kellen Morton.
She knocked so hard that she couldn't stop herself and her head hit the ground with a bang.
"Ouch."
She quickly put her hand on her forehead, but the three sticks of incense she was holding were still steady in her other hand.
Kellen Morton quickly picked her up and asked, "Are you okay?"
Then he saw that the little girl's forehead was red and seemed a bit swollen.
How hard did she hit her head?
Kellen Morton was speechless for a moment. He took Susie Murray to offer incense, poured three cups of wine, and then left the temple.
"Do you still hurt?" Kellen Morton gently touched her forehead, afraid to touch it again.
Susie Murray had both hands covering her forehead. She didn't feel anything at first, but now it started to hurt.
Kellen Morton ordered his men to bring the red potion, but Susie Murray was staring at the yard. The female ghost who had just failed to enter the temple was still standing outside. A temple like this was like someone else's territory, and ordinary ghosts would avoid it unless they had no choice but to scrounge for offerings. In addition, Sean Morton was enshrined in this temple with merit and blessings, so ordinary ghosts could not offend him. Kellen Morton followed Susie Murray's gaze and looked towards a osmanthus tree in the yard, asking, "What are you looking at?" The yard was dimly lit, so there was nothing to see. Susie Murray hesitated for a moment and asked, "Daddy, have you been looking for Auntie outside?" Kellen Morton was taken aback, "What?" Looking for an aunt? Was he that kind of person? No, wasn't the Murray Family teaching children something else? Kellen Morton frowned and said, "Daddy has never looked for an aunt before, and there is no aunt now or in the future." Susie Murray's thoughts went astray, and she asked, "Then how was I born?" Kellen Morton coughed and said, "Your mother's matter...doesn't count." Susie Murray was pulled back to reality and asked, "Why doesn't Mom count?" Kellen Morton hesitated and said, "Uh...that was an accident." Susie Murray asked, "So Susie Murray is also an accident?" Kellen Morton said, "Uh..." Susie Murray asked, "Does Daddy not like Mom?" Kellen Morton coughed and said, "Susie Murray, do you want to eat ice cream?" Susie Murray's eyes lit up, "Yes!" Father and daughter walked away talking to each other. Under the osmanthus tree, the female ghost held her head, revealing a hint of resentment in her eyes. She floated along, always keeping a distance, and refused to leave Kellen Morton. "Uh, uh, uh..." She made a short, scary sound from her throat, like someone whose throat had been cut and couldn't speak. Martin Murray was so busy that he didn't return home until noon the next day. Unexpectedly...Kellen Morton hadn't brought Susie Murray back yet! Alana Murray used the wheelchair remote control to come straight out of the house and said angrily, "Where is Susie Murray? She's such a big person, and you took a child out and lost her!" Martin Murray pursed his lips and said coldly, "Mom, Susie Murray was taken by her father." Not lost. Alana Murray glared, "If she's not back, then she's lost!" Martin Murray looked at Craig Murray behind Alana Murray. Behind Craig Murray were Ryan Murray, Michael Murray, Jonathan Murray, and David Murray. Then there were Hamza Murray, Wade Murray, and Lucy Murray. The whole family stood there with their arms crossed, staring at him. As if saying, How can you still have the face to come back? Martin Murray, "...". The eldest uncle had a headache and pressed his forehead, only able to give a positive assurance, "Don't worry, Susie Murray won't have any problems." Finally, he added an emphasis, "Not even a single hair will be touched!"
