Li Hongying took out the shoe-making skills that Liu's mother used to make shoe soles and sat down in front of Zhuang Feifei, pretending to make shoe soles.
Before she could even poke a few needles into the sole of the shoe, she suddenly clutched her stomach with one hand, a pained expression on her face, and handed the shoe sole to Zhuang Feifei.
"Zhuang Zhiqing, I have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet. I'm afraid it will take a while, but my mother-in-law wants me to finish my work quickly. Can you help me?"
Zhuang Feifei only wanted to pretend to help her, so she reached out to take the shoe sole: "Okay, give it to me."
"Thank you, Zhuang Zhiqing."
Li Hongying thanked Zhuang Feifei gratefully. Her eyes were fixed on Zhuang Feifei's hand. When she handed the shoe sole to Zhuang Feifei with one hand, she pretended to be flustered and took the opportunity to prick Zhuang Feifei's hand with a needle in her other hand. Zhuang Feifei felt the pain and quickly withdrew her hand, seeing blood flowing from her finger.
Li Hongying's eyes lit up. She quickly pinched Zhuang Feifei's bleeding finger, blew on it, squeezed out more blood, and wiped it away with her finger.
At the same time, he apologized to Zhuang Feifei, saying, "I'm sorry, Zhuang Zhiqing, I didn't mean to. I was in a panic because of my stomachache, and I didn't notice your hand. I'm really sorry. Are you in a lot of pain?"
Zhuang Feifei saw that Li Hongying was squeezing her fingers, and the bleeding from her wound was increasing as her fingers were squeezed. She felt that Li Hongying was not stopping her bleeding, but rather bleeding her.
Why did Li Hongying do this?
Li Hongying was satisfied with the blood she wanted, a triumphant gleam in her eyes. Her fingers were already stained with a lot of Zhuang Feifei's blood; she needed to immediately mix it with her own.
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be done in front of Zhuang Feifei; we should try our best not to let her find out anything.
"Oh dear, Zhuang Zhiqing, my stomach hurts again. I need to go to the toilet right away. Wait here for me for a while."
She left in a hurry after she finished speaking. Zhuang Feifei had already had doubts about her, and when she saw her own blood on her fingers, her doubts grew stronger.
Instead of listening to Li Hongying and sitting quietly inside, she immediately got up and followed Li Hongying quietly. She noticed that Li Hongying had only gone out to the yard and hadn't rushed to the outhouse. She walked slowly with her head down, as if she was studying her fingers.
Zhuang Feifei recalled that when she first came here, Li Hongying accidentally injured her finger. It was too much of a coincidence that it happened again this time.
Given Li Hongying's attitude towards her, offering to help her right after meeting her, it's hard to believe that she'd offer such unsolicited help. Why would Li Hongying help her for no reason?
What does she have that the other party could possibly want?
After much deliberation, she felt there was something fishy about Li Hongying, so she decided to wait for Li Hongying to return and observe her closely in order to find some clues.
After thinking it over, she went back into the room and, as Li Hongying had instructed, picked up the half-finished shoe sole and pretended to study it.
A few minutes later, Li Hongying finally returned.
She saw that Zhuang Feifei was engrossed in studying the sole of the shoe, so she probably didn't notice anything unusual about her.
She said apologetically, "Zhuang Zhiqing, I'm so sorry to have left you all alone in the house and made you help me with the work."
"It's okay, I'm figuring out how to do this job."
Zhuang Feifei looked up, but her gaze fell on Li Hongying's two hands. She noticed two teeth marks on one of Li Hongying's fingers, with traces of blood still on them, as if she had just been bitten.
There were only two people in the house, her and Li Hongying, so the teeth marks could only have been made by Li Hongying.
Li Hongying injured her first, and then bit herself. What exactly was she trying to do? It must be related to their blood.
As a time traveler, she obtained a personal space through a blood oath ceremony, so she is more sensitive to matters of blood than the average person.
Could it be that Li Hongying is also a time traveler who wants to use her blood to achieve some purpose? This purpose must be harmful to her but beneficial to Li Hongying.
To verify her guess, she sighed and deliberately probed Li Hongying: "It's such a pity that I can't take the college entrance exam now. If I could, with my grades, I would have the opportunity to return to the city and use my knowledge to shine in a certain field. But now I can only be trapped in this small area. It's really unfortunate."
"Who says we can't take the college entrance exam? We'll be able to in the future."
Li Hongying was in a good mood after receiving Zhuang Feifei's blood. Upon hearing Zhuang Feifei's words, she instinctively uttered this remark.
"Hongying, how do you know you can take the college entrance exam in the future? If you can, that would be great."
Zhuang Feifei pretended to be excited, but in reality she was flustered. She became even more suspicious that Li Hongying was a time traveler.
Unexpectedly, besides her, there is another time traveler in this book.
No wonder the original plot changed so much. Could it all be related to Li Hongying, the time traveler?
She had read many time-travel novels before, and the typical time travelers either had a spatial ability or a system, so she didn't know what Li Hongying had.
Li Hongying then realized she had said something she shouldn't have, and was about to inadvertently reveal her true identity. She quickly explained to Zhuang Feifei, "Zhuang Zhiqing, please don't believe me. I... I was just guessing. Think about it, the college entrance examination is so important; it's for selecting talent for national development. I think if we keep not allowing the college entrance examination, where will the country get so many talented people? The people recommended by the worker-peasant-soldier universities aren't based on real talent or ability; how can they be more capable than those who pass the exam?"
"I didn't expect you to be so insightful, Hongying. I never even thought of that. It seems I was too narrow-minded. It would be wonderful if we could really have a college entrance exam in the future. I'll study hard and try to get into a good university. I just don't know exactly when the college entrance exam will be reinstated, and whether I'll be able to live to see that day."
"I don't know either." Li Hongying lowered her eyes, this time not daring to say the wrong thing again.
Through her observation of Li Hongying, Zhuang Feifei discovered many suspicious things.
After a while, Zhuang Feifei said goodbye to Li Hongying. After leaving the Liu family, she decided to have less contact with Li Hongying in the future, or even no contact at all.
Li Hongying's desire to obtain her blood must be part of a conspiracy. Regardless of the other party's purpose, she must be wary of them.
Meanwhile, Li Hongying was secretly pleased with herself. She had succeeded once again, and she only needed two more attempts to completely obtain Zhuang Feifei's space.
She was full of confidence, believing she would soon have the female lead's millions in supplies.
At that time, she will not only have an inexhaustible supply of grain and pork, and an endless supply of cloth and cotton, but also many high-end gadgets that will only be available in later generations.
