The seriousness of the matter was clear to all four of them, they didn't speak of it, but tacitly kept the situation a secret.
Gu Jiao asked Gu Xiaoshun not to come over for a few days, since even though the infectious power of the early multiple-bacillary leprosy wasn't that strong, it still carried a certain risk.
Gu Jiao didn't go back to the mountains to pick mushrooms again, she stayed home and took care of the old lady for several days.
Perhaps she did an excellent job in nursing, by the third day at noon, the old lady was fully awake, no longer in a hazy state, but her mind seemed not quite right.
When Gu Jiao asked her who she was, she stared blankly at her. When Gu Jiao asked her where she lived, she still stared blankly at her.
Could it be dementia?
"Do you remember what disease you had?" Gu Jiao continued to ask.
The old lady simply continued to stare.
Gu Jiao was helpless.
