Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 165: Sending a Package

Liu Jingxue returned home with two letters from her uncle and the address written by Grandpa Zou.

After closing the doors and windows, she slipped into the space.

Tuanzi was already waiting for her in the alchemy room.

“Master, the spirit gathering array has been activated, and I have adjusted the speed of time.

You can practice at any time."

Liu Jingxue's most important task at the moment is to quickly cultivate to the fourth level of Qi training.

After all, only when she reached the fourth level of Qi training did she have enough spiritual energy to support her practice of magic and learn the art of making talismans.

Before she could break through the fourth level of Qi training, she had to first break through the third level of Qi training.

She believed that as long as she broke through the third level of Qi training, the few months of hibernation would be enough for her to practice to the fourth level.

After taking a Spirit Gathering Pill and a Bigu Pill, Liu Jingxue sat down cross-legged, calmed her mind, and began to practice.

After being awakened from her meditation by hunger, Tuanzi's voice rang in Liu Jingxue's mind, "Congratulations, Master, for successfully breaking through the third level of Qi training."

"I made a breakthrough," Liu Jingxue said in surprise, and quickly looked inward at her dantian.

"I actually made a breakthrough. It's really not easy."

After successfully drawing Qi into the body for the first time and breaking through the first level of Qi training, he continued to practice for a period of time and broke through to the second level of Qi training.

After practicing for more than a month, he finally broke through to the third level of Qi training.

Although we were busy with the autumn harvest and had less time for cultivation than before, it also confirmed what Tuanzi said before, that it would become more difficult to advance as time goes by.

"I hope that in the next few months, I won't have to work and can practice with peace of mind, so that I can break through the fourth level of Qi training as soon as possible."

After filling her stomach, Liu Jingxue washed her hair and took a shower, slowed down the flow of time, and fell asleep peacefully.

Before going to bed, she did not forget to set the alarm clock and put it outside so that she could get up early and go to town.

After the alarm rang, Liu Jingxue got up quickly, got herself ready, and ate a breakfast from the warehouse.

The package to be sent to elder brother had been packed long ago, but Liu Jingxue did not put the letter in it yet.

When you arrive at the post office, the staff will check the contents of the package to confirm that there are no prohibited items before sending it out.

Liu Jingxue planned to wait for the staff to check it before secretly putting it in.

Although Uncle Liu said the day before yesterday that the team’s ox carts would go to the town in the next few days.

But Liu Jingxue, who had once experienced riding on a ox cart and knew that she was susceptible to ox cart sickness, had no intention of going through that pain again.

She planned to walk out of the village and then ride her bike to town.

In order to avoid being seen, she pulled herself onto a ox cart and got up earlier than the autumn harvest workers, just because she didn't want to meet other people.

Tuanzi had scanned the area in advance, and Liu Jingxue carried the person all the way out of the village.

After making sure that there was no one around, she put the bicycle and package out of the space, rode her bicycle with the package on it and quickly headed for town.

When they were almost reaching the town, Liu Jingxue put her bicycle into the space, picked up her package, and walked into the town.

It was a little early today, and the post office was not open yet. Liu Jingxue found a deserted place and slipped into the space.

After spending some time in the space, Liu Jingxue estimated that the post office was open, so she left the space and walked towards the post office carrying the package.

The person who greeted Liu Jingxue was the same staff member she had met the day before. She had just met him, and thanks to the fishy-smelling salted fish, the elder sister still remembered her.

Seeing Liu Jingxue bringing in a large package ahead of time, the elder sister understood and said, "Comrade, you are here to mail a package today."

Liu Jingxue nodded, "It's not that my brother sent me so many things.

I have to send him something anyway."

Thanks to the candies and dried plums that Liu Jingxue had stuffed into her the day before, her elder sister was very friendly to her.

"Comrade, you should be familiar with the procedure of sending packages. Logically, we should check the items sent."

"Don't worry, big sister. I understand this, so I deliberately didn't keep it secret."

After checking Liu Jingxue's package, the eldest sister was very surprised. This little girl sent quite a lot of good things.

Pine nuts, hazelnuts, and dried mushrooms are fine, they have no shortage of them in the Northeast.

But all kinds of dried fruits, meat pastes, and air-dried meats are all good things.

Although there are many mountains and forests in the Northeast, meat is more available than in other places, but that is only for the rural people living around the mountains and forests.

For city dwellers, meat was still rationed according to the number of meat coupons.

The mountains and forests are all public property. Although rural people can go hunting in the mountains and forests, city residents are not allowed to do so.

Therefore, city dwellers in the Northeast, like people in other places, are also short of meat.

Seeing so much meat in Liu Jingxue’s package, the eldest sister immediately had an idea.

But she kept holding herself back, preparing to have a proper talk with Liu Jingxue after things were done.

After the eldest sister checked the package, Liu Jingxue took the opportunity to put the two letters and the ginseng that had been stored in the space in the middle of the package.

After sealing the package, weighing it, calculating the postage, issuing the invoice and paying the money, the elder sister called a male colleague to carry the package into the shipping area.

Originally, Liu Jingxue planned to pay the money and go to another window to send a telegram, but the elder sister kept holding her hand and would not let go. She couldn't pull her hand back, so she waited there to see what the elder sister would say.

After the male colleague took the package away, the elder sister leaned close to Liu Jingxue's ear and whispered, "Sister, let's talk for a moment."

Liu Jingxue was a little curious about what her elder sister wanted to say to her.

With her skill and courage, she was not worried that the elder sister would do anything bad to her, so she followed the elder sister to an empty corner behind the post office.

"Sister, my last name is Jin, you can just call me Sister Jin." The eldest sister introduced herself.

Liu Jingxue got straight to the point and said, "Sister Jin, why did you pull me over here? Is there something wrong?"

"Girl, I saw you sent so much dried meat just now. Do you have a way to get the meat?" Sister Jin asked directly.

Liu Jingxue didn't intend to hide it. After all, she sent so much meat at once, it would be hard not to arouse suspicion.

She nodded and said, "Sister Jin, I am an educated youth who went to the countryside from Qianjin Commune.

Our production team was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the villagers could go into the mountains to hunt, so we were able to get some game.

Moreover, every household in the village raises chickens, ducks and geese, and these poultry can be exchanged with other villagers.

The production team also raised pigs and slaughtered them at the end of the year, so we could get some meat.”

When Sister Jin heard this, she was immediately happy. There were so many sources of meat.

She said quickly, "Sister, since you are an educated youth sent to the countryside, each family in the city will be issued one or two kilograms of meat coupons every month, I think you are also aware of this.

You say there is only a little bit of meat in a month, and there is a whole family, who can eat it?

Everyone is trying to find ways to get more meat.”

Liu Jingxue nodded, "I know about this.

It was only after I came to the countryside that I realized what it felt like to eat meat in large mouthfuls.”

“Sister, I’m asking you shamelessly if you can get me some meat.

I don’t care if it’s fresh or dried, game or domestic, as long as it’s meat.”
