Chapter 20: 20 Choices

The old woman was laying sideways on the ground with wild hair obscuring her face. Her body was covered in dirt, and she was clad in a cloth dress. Gu Jiang's first thought was that she must be a villager who had just returned from the fields and collapsed at Gu's doorstep for some unknown reason.

The loud thud earlier was the sound of her head hitting the door. There was a cut on her forehead which was bleeding a little.

In her previous life, Gu Jiang had encountered people faking injury for compensation, but never someone staking their life on it.

It appeared that the woman had truly fainted.

Gu Jiang squatted down to see which family the woman was from so she could send her home. However, as soon as Gu Jiang turned the woman's body to lie her flat, she spotted something strange.

There were symmetrical pale skin lesions and light red spots on the woman's face, with blurry borders between the spots. Similar marks were also on her hands.
