Chapter 240: Allergic to Dog Fur
Liu Siyu said, “Brother, brother, come here quickly. There’s a dog. Chase it away.”
Liu Siyan heard his sister’s shout and immediately rushed over. He stepped in front of her to protect her. Then, he grabbed a broom and drove the dog away. After that, he closed the door.
“Why is Xiaoyu afraid of dogs?” Their grandma asked. “When you were young, you used to love dogs! You loved seeing them every time you visit.”
“Grandma, I’m allergic to dog fur,” Liu Siyu said awkwardly.
Her grandma replied, “How is that possible? You used to hug the dog to sleep when you were young. And you even whined.”
“Mom, do we have more blankets? I’m making up the beds for the children.” Mrs. Liu quickly interrupted her mother-in-law.
Their grandma, who was dressed in many colors, brought her daughter-in-law into a room and asked in surprise, “When did Xiaoyu develop an allergy to dog fur?”
“Maybe it’s because she’s grown up and her immune system isn’t that great anymore,” Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
“Alright. My poor granddaughter,” she said.
“Brother,” Liu Siyu asked curiously. “Did I really hug a puppy to sleep when I was young?”
If that really happened, she would despise herself.
Liu Siyan nodded without hesitation. “That’s right.”
Liu Siyu said, “Huh? Let me die!”
Liu Siyu was almost scared to death on her first night in her hometown. In the middle of the night, she jumped out of bed and screamed. Liu Siyan was so scared that he ran to her room.
Liu Siyu said, “Brother!” She sobbed. “Come here quickly. A centipede is crawling all over my leg. Help!”
Liu Siyu’s scream resounded through the village. The dogs next door heard it and started barking.
Mrs. Liu and her mother-in-law also hurriedly put on their clothes and came to see Liu Siyu.
Usually, only the two of them lived here, and the other rooms were not as well maintained.
During the new year, the old man was taken to Jing City. Mrs. Liu had no idea that there was a centipede in the house.
By the time they came into the room, Liu Siyu was already crying. She had thrown herself into Liu Siyan’s arms.
Liu Siyan could only carry his sister while looking for the centipede in the room.
“You were asleep. How did you find out?” When Liu Siyan mentioned the centipede, Liu Siyu broke out in a cold sweat.
Liu Siyu sobbed. “I felt an itch on the back of my foot. I looked down and saw the centipede. Brother, I don’t want this foot anymore.”
The thought of the centipede with so many legs gave her a lingering fear.
Mrs. Liu immediately went to the bed to check.
Her grandma said, “I don’t think so. It’s getting colder. The centipedes have gone into hibernation.”
Mrs. Liu picked up the blanket and shook it. She also moved all the items on the bed away, but she did not see the centipede.
Liu Siyu was traumatized by the house and did not dare to continue sleeping there.
“Brother, look at the door, it’s right there!” Liu Siyu pointed at the door in horror.
The people in the room immediately looked over.
Liu Siyu’s brother was still carrying her and her eyes were on the door. Only then did she realize that there was a centipede at the door.
She saw a centipede the size of a pinky finger crawling back and forth on the ground behind the door.
Mrs. Liu walked over and stomped the centipede to death in anger.
This thing actually scared her precious daughter. Fortunately, she did not get bitten.
Their grandma walked over to take a look. “Why are there still centipedes in this season? It’s probably because the house is too damp. Don’t be afraid, Xiaoyu. I’ll spray a repellant on your bed and you’ll be fine.”
Liu Siyu shook her head. She did not dare to stay in this room anymore. However, Liu Siyan’s room was even worse than this one.
“Mom, I’ll sleep in the car,” Liu Siyu said.
Mrs. Liu had been sleeping fine in her room for the past few days. It also seemed drier there. There was also medicinal powder in the corners, so it should be safe. “Sleep with Mommy tonight.”
Liu Siyan looked at his frightened sister and carried her to his mother’s room.
“Brother, shall we go to a hotel in the city tomorrow?” Liu Siyu asked in a low voice.
Liu Siyan nodded in agreement.
There were many dogs in the village, so Liu Siyu did not dare to go out at all. Whenever she stepped outside, she would need to ward off the dogs with a stick.
After sleeping with her mother for the night, Liu Siyu still had nightmares. In her dream, there were centipedes everywhere. They crawled up her body and bit her. She woke up in shock and broke out in a cold sweat.
The next day, she insisted on staying in a hotel in the city.
In the morning, she had gone to visit her grandfather. She had spoken with him. In the afternoon, she had to leave.
“Did you complain about me when you slept in Mom’s room last night?” Liu Siyan asked as he gripped the steering wheel.
Liu Siyu immediately shook her head. “I didn’t. I just said that you hit me. That’s the truth. It’s not a complaint. Mom said that she has to teach you a lesson for me.”
Liu Siyan was speechless.
The two of them arrived at a hotel. Liu Siyu looked around and frowned. “Brother, is this a hotel?”
It looked incredibly small.
Their grandfather was hospitalized in town, and this was the best house in the area. Liu Siyu reluctantly let her brother lead her in.
