She, on the other hand, focused on managing the space.
In order to unlock the long-distance telepathy function as soon as possible, she even did some calculations to maximize efficiency.
Especially after learning about the Pei family's troubles, she became even more anxious, and even stayed up until midnight last night.
There are still eight days left to unlock the required number of coins. She has done her best, and this is the shortest possible timeframe.
Hearing the noise outside, Qiao Lian'er got up and walked out of the old courtyard.
Not far away, Fu Ma and Qiao Lian'er were delivering chestnuts to the villagers, and the scene was so harmonious and peaceful.
Having only been here for a few days, the Qiao family at the east end of the village has already won the hearts of the villagers.
Qiao Lian'er slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
Back in her room, she bought an expensive ointment from the online store.
Then, facing the mirror, I used my other hand to apply the ointment to the butterfly birthmark on my right shoulder.
If you persist with the treatment for a month, the birthmark will basically disappear.
She went into the kitchen, closed the doors and windows tightly, then heated a small piece of iron until it was red-hot, rolled up her trouser leg, clamped the iron with pliers, gritted her teeth, and branded it onto her left knee.
With a hiss, billowing white smoke appeared, followed by an intense burning sensation. Qiao Lian'er trembled all over in pain, cold sweat poured down her forehead, and her face turned deathly pale.
Even though she had a piece of cloth in her mouth beforehand, she still couldn't help but let out a low groan, and blood seeped from between her teeth.
Her hands trembled, and the tongs fell to the ground. The burned areas were a bloody mess, with cooked and raw meat mixed together, emitting a strange smell.
She leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, like a fish stranded on the shore.
My vision blurred, tears streamed down my face from the pain, my mind went blank, and I couldn't even think straight.
But she knew that she was doing the right thing.
The door suddenly opened, and when Old Mrs. Qiao saw this scene, she felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out. She screamed and rushed over.
"Scythe, my dear sickle, what are you doing? You're going to break my heart!"
Grandma Qiao held Qiao Lian'er tightly, tears streaming down her face, her whole body trembling.
"Did something happen to you? No matter what, you shouldn't torture yourself like this."
"With your whole family supporting you, your problems are everyone's problems."
"Grandma, I actually roughly understand what Qiao Lian'er is trying to do." Qiao Lian'er had recovered a bit. She leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and slowly spoke, enduring the constant pain.
"What is she up to? Is she going to do something to you? I felt something was off the moment this family showed up," Old Mrs. Qiao said indignantly.
"Not yet, but it's only a matter of time." Qiao Lian'er took a deep breath: "This time, the Great Swamp Kingdom won not only because of its strong army, but also because I came up with an effective formation."
"Now that news of the great victory has arrived, it's time to reward those who have contributed, but someone with the exact same name as me has appeared and even settled in our village, trying to win over the villagers of Datian Village."
"Grandma, do you think this is really just a coincidence?"
Old Mrs. Qiao broke out in a cold sweat: "You mean, the Qiao family at the east end of the village wants—"
Qiao Lian'er nodded.
"Therefore, I must be prepared to deal with it. What belongs to me, I will never give up to others, and I will never let others benefit from it."
"I, Qiao Lian'er, will not do things for others."
