When the male educated youths saw Li Hongying walking towards them, they didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that Li Hongying wasn't looking for them. After all, they weren't familiar with her, and Zhao Wensong had gone to collect pig manure again, so there was definitely no one Li Hongying was looking for there.

However, to their surprise, Li Hongying had come looking for them.

Li Hongying walked over, too lazy to be polite with them, and simply walked past each of them before leaving.

From beginning to end, in their eyes, it all seemed like madness and inexplicable nonsense.

“This woman has been possessed by a ghost,” Sun Guoqing said.

Who cares?

Tong Jianxin didn't care.

Li Hongying couldn't find any clues among the male educated youths, but suddenly she saw the old lady who loved sweets and quickly went over to her: "Hello, ma'am."

The old woman was eating fruit candy, holding another piece in her hand. It was all bought for her by her daughter who had married into the county town. When she saw Li Hongying's drooling look, she quickly put the candy in her pocket.

"I've finished my candy, so I can't give you any more."

Li Hongying was stunned for a moment, listening to the system's reply. The system reported that it had not found any space on the old lady. She coldly said to the old lady, "Who wants to eat your candy? You're good at patting yourself on the back. Do you think everyone wants your candy?"

Then he turned and walked away, leaving the old woman completely bewildered. "What did you want by coming over here to get close to me? You're crazy!"

When Li Hongying went to work, she saw the team leader in the field and quickly ran over, but the team leader didn't have any space on him either.

She couldn't find the space again the next day.

On the third day, she woke up late, and when she went out after breakfast, everyone had already gone to the fields, and there were hardly any people on the road.

She walked for a while and luckily saw a man ahead smoking as he walked. The man wasn't smoking homemade cigarettes, but rather luxury cigarettes he had bought. His clothes were also better than those of the ordinary commune members. This man was rich and a farmer who toiled in the fields. He was probably someone with a space and resources.

Because she was anxious to have space, she subjectively reinforced the universality of space, seeing many people as if they had space.

She quickly caught up with the man, who was about thirty years old. He noticed someone following him and looked back. It was a woman. He recognized her; she was Liu Aiguo's wife from the same village, named Li Hongying.

But why is Li Hongying following him?

He had never really interacted with Liu Aiguo, and he was even less familiar with his wife.

With Liu Aiguo not home, he dared not get too close to Li Hongying. It would be bad if others saw them and misunderstood, and he would have a hard time explaining it to his wife. If Liu Aiguo came back, he would probably cause trouble for him, and it would also damage his reputation.

So he quickened his pace, trying to put some distance between himself and Li Hongying.

But the faster he walked forward, the faster Li Hongying chased after him. The faster Li Hongying chased, the faster he dodged. The faster he dodged, the faster Li Hongying accelerated, and then he accelerated even faster.

But Li Hongying wouldn't give up. The fact that the person in front of her was deliberately avoiding her made her even more suspicious.

They remained locked in this stalemate, one chasing and the other dodging, until they were almost at the field.

Just as Li Hongying was about to catch up with the man, suddenly, a fierce village woman appeared from the side, rushed over and pushed Li Hongying to the ground. Her strong body pressed down on Li Hongying, and she raised her hand and slapped Li Hongying's face hard.

If you listen carefully, it actually has a rhythm.

One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, change positions, let's do it again... slap slap slap slap!

"Shameless slut, you've been following my man around. Are you interested in him and trying to seduce him? Luckily, I saw you. I'll beat you to a pulp."

The man quickly came over to cheer on his wife: "Honey, she's been following me everywhere, I can't shake her off! Hit her, hit her hard, don't hold back!"

Knowing it wasn't her man's fault, the woman beat Li Hongying severely and warned her, "You vixen, if you dare follow my man again, I'll beat you with my shoe."

She stood up from Li Hongying and followed her husband into the fields.

"Hmph, that slut must know that our aunt's two kids work in the factory in the county town, so she came to seduce you, hoping to benefit from our relatives through you. Hmph, she's dreaming! Only we can benefit from our relatives. Look at the clothes your older cousin gave you. Even though they were leftovers, they look so impressive on you. Everyone who sees you will look at you with respect."

"Yes, yes, this cigarette is pretty good. The other day at my older cousin's house, he smoked half of it and then put it out on the table, which I then put in my pocket and brought back. Hehehe."

Li Hongying was brutally beaten, and her face was in excruciating pain; it felt like both cheeks didn't belong to her anymore.

But she didn't have time to think about that; instead, she asked the system first: "Did you sense the presence of space on them just now, especially on that man?"

No, not a single one. So, you got a beating for nothing.

Li Hongying was very disappointed. She had finally found someone who was a little rich, but she got beaten up and still didn't get the result she wanted.

[System, this is so difficult.]

【Host, nothing is impossible for a willing heart. You must keep going! Think about that enormous space that can be bound to your body, think about the vast resources stored within it, think about the life of a superior being you'll have after obtaining that space and those resources, you…】

[I understand, System. I was just venting; I'll keep searching.]
