The four of them understood the seriousness of the matter. Although they did not agree to it explicitly, they all hid it.

Gu Jiao told Gu Xiaoshun not to come over for the next few days. Although early bacterial leprosy was not as infectious, there was still a certain risk.

Gu Jiao did not go up the mountain to pick mushrooms for a while, instead staying at home to take care of the old lady for a few days.

It was probably because she had taken good care of her that the old lady completely awoke at noon on the third day. She was no longer in a daze, but mentally she seemed a little off.

When Gu Jiao asked her who she was, she widened her eyes at Gu Jiao. When Gu Jiao asked her where she lived, she continued staring at Gu Jiao.

Could it be dementia?

“Do you remember what illness you’re suffering from?” Gu Jiao continued to ask.

The old lady’s eyes were still wide open.

Gu Jiao had no choice.

It seemed that not only did this old lady not remember who she was, but she had also completely forgotten about her illness.

Actually, it was good that she had forgotten. Gu Jiao could keep watch on her and not let her go out, but she could not prevent the villagers from coming. If the old lady accidentally let slip about her leprosy, she, Xiao Liulang, Gu Xiaoshun, and the other close contacts would be in trouble.

As for where to settle her in the future, that was a matter for next time. The most important thing now was to cure her; nobody must find out that she had leprosy.

With this thought in mind, Gu Jiao picked up the medicine jar and went to brew medicine for the old lady.

She had to take the medicine from the medicine box, but she also had to take the Chinese medicine as well. Otherwise, she would not be able to keep the medicine box secret.

When the old lady saw Gu Jiao holding the medicine jar, she turned her face away in disdain.

Gu Jiao vaguely heard a resentful snort. This old lady had quite a temper!

The medicine had to be simmered over a fire for an hour. While waiting for the medicine, Gu Jiao took out the medicine box and checked it.

She had used a lot of medicine recently and had not had the chance to take stock. She had to check how much medicine she had left, and which of them could not be used casually.

However, she was a little dumbfounded after checking.

There was a new bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine that she had originally consumed, and an additional tube of antibacterial ointment. There were also a few other items which she could not remember putting in.

Gu Jiao looked at the motionless small medicine box, rubbed her chin, and fell into deep thought.

At the end of the month, the academy had another exam.

Gu Dashun had entered Heaven-Grade Class A with the accomplishment of placing second in the admission exam. After that, he lived up to everyone’s expectations and performed very well, taking second place again in this exam.

Teacher Chen was very happy, but Gu Dashun did not seem very content. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

Teacher Chen thought that he was blaming himself for not being good enough to get first place, so he patiently assured him, “You and Hanzhi are both outstanding talents among the new students. Hanzhi is two years older than you and started his studies earlier, so you don’t have to worry about your current results.”

Of course, Gu Dashun was not worried about this. The student named Xu Hanzhi was only a little more outstanding, simply because he had studied a few more years than him, but he felt that he did not have as much potential as he did and was very confident he could readily surpass him.

Rather, his ambition did not stop there.

He was here to be the dean’s personal disciple, and had hoped that the dean would become his teacher.
