Lan Guoer glanced around the room as she spoke. The layout of the post office was very similar to that of a later-day bank, with staff and customers completely separated by a half-meter-wide counter, behind which were the staff's desks.
Logically speaking, after receiving letters and parcels, the staff place them inside the counter, so the possibility of them being stolen by outsiders is not very high. And since only post office staff can enter the counter, there is really no other possibility of loss except for the staff stealing.
Even if it was assigned incorrectly and sent out by mistake, there shouldn't even be a return, not to mention that the letter was lost before it was sent out.
"Oh!" Deng Shuang sighed, "This is all my fault!
After you left that day, a female comrade pitifully asked me to look for her parcel. I was so busy that I neglected your three letters. It was almost noon when I remembered.
But I've been working here for over a month, and not many people are willing to send registered mail. You sent three expedited mails at once, and I remember it clearly. That's why I realized one was missing."
"Lesbian?" Lan Guoer thought about the situation when she came to send the letter that day, and Liu Ying's appearance appeared in her mind.
"That female comrade you're talking about, was she wearing a yellow headscarf and a dark green military uniform that day?"
"Yes, yes! It's that woman!"
Deng Shuang was still very impressed with Liu Ying! Liu Ying had been asking about her packages almost every day recently.
Lan Guoer nodded slightly, and had a guess in her mind. Then she asked Deng Shuang a few more questions, and she became even more certain that the person who stole her letters was Liu Ying.
But why did Liu Ying steal her letters? Was it to vent his anger? To seek revenge? Lan Guoer couldn't quite wrap her head around this.
However, it was not difficult for Lan Guoer to find out who stole the letter and why.
The letter has its own scent, and it is easy to locate the location of the letter with a compass. Isn't the location of the letter exactly where the thief who stole the letter is?
Lan Guoer thought about it, and out of curiosity, decided to meet the letter thief at night!
When she got home, before she even parked the car, she saw several children rushing towards her.
"Mom! Mom! Nuan and his brothers can fly now, look!"
Xiao Nuan spoke, taking seemingly casual steps, but her short legs like lotus root nodes seemed to appear as a phantom and disappeared in front of Lan Guoer in an instant.
It was the first time that Lan Guoer had witnessed the legendary Qinggong, and her eyes widened in surprise. When she regained consciousness, the little girl was back in front of her.
"Mom, Lie is also okay~"
Xiao Lie has been speaking much more fluently since he took the elixir. As he spoke, he performed a disappearance in front of Lan Guoer.
Xiao Ling held Lan Guoer's hand obediently and watched the performance of his younger brothers and sisters with her like a little adult.
Yuan Yi munched on a roasted sweet potato as he slowly walked in from the backyard. He lifted his head and lightly jumped, sitting on the railing of the corridor. With a smile on his lips, he looked at the adults and children in the yard and said,
"My nephews are extremely talented and learn things very quickly. I have taught them everything I need to. They just need to practice more in the future. I will be back tomorrow!"
When the little kids heard that Yuan Yi was leaving, they immediately lost interest in performing and gathered around him.
"Master uncle won't leave! Nuan doesn't want Master uncle to leave." Xiao Nuan hugged Yuan Yi's calf and shook him.
Xiao Lie grabbed his arm and refused to let go, "Uncle Master, please stay and teach me Kung Fu! Lie, be obedient."
Xiao Ling stood half a meter away from the three of them, staring straight at Yuan Yi, his eyes filled with reluctance. But he knew that his uncle had to go back to accompany his master, who lived alone in the mountains. He must be scared when it got dark, right? He didn't want his master to be afraid.
"Ah!" Lan Guoer sighed and walked forward, sitting down opposite Yuan Yi. "If he wasn't still in the mountains, I wouldn't want you to leave! Do you really have to live in the mountains? Isn't it said that the great hermits hide in the city? What's wrong with living outside?"
Yuan Yi patted the heads of the little ones one by one, comforting them and replied,
"Master said that wherever there are people, there are right and wrong! Where there is right and wrong, there are grudges and hatred. Human relationships, once tainted, will become a bondage. The mountains are quiet and the air is good, which is conducive to self-cultivation."
Lan Guoer thought of Yuan Lanxi's untainted appearance and her immortal demeanor, and she couldn't refute what he said.
Everyone has their own way of living. Although she lived two lives, she could only live to the age of 25 at most. At Yuan Lanxi's age, she should be tired of this world, right?
"I have researched some life-saving medicines. You can take some with you when you leave. Go to the space tonight to move some food and utensils. Life in the mountains is hard. Don't let yourselves get hurt." Lan Guoer arranged.
She knew that the Xuanmen had their own methods of preserving their lives and achieving longevity, but they were all mortal, so if they needed them, she had to prepare them for them.
Yuan Yi took a bite of the roasted sweet potato and smiled brightly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister! I won't be polite with you!"
When the little ones saw that their mother couldn't keep their little master uncle, they all looked dejected, as if someone had stolen their favorite toy.
In the end, it was Yuan Yi who persuaded them, saying that he would come to see them whenever he had time, and that they could also live in the mountains every summer vacation. Only then did the little ones start smiling again.
During dinner, Lan Guoer casually mentioned the incident of the stolen letters at the table.
"What's there to be uncertain about? I'm certain it was Liu Ying who did this!"
Tang's mother still holds a grudge against the Liu mother and daughter for the dirty things they did in the hospital. After listening to Lan Guoer's story, she immediately made a judgment on Liu Ying.
"Wife, is it important that you lost that thing? If it is important, I will help you get it back." Tang Zhan said calmly while eating.
Lan Guoer tilted her head and glanced at him. She thought to herself, yeah! Her man is truly extraordinary now! As long as he has the will, who knows how many little animals will rush forward to serve him!
But she didn't just want to get her things back. She always felt that Liu Ying stole her letters for a purpose, and she would feel uncomfortable until she found out the answer.
"Didn't the Liu family get kicked out of the compound? Why is Liu Ying still in Kyoto? Could it be that their hometown is still in Kyoto?" Tang's mother muttered.
According to the current household registration policy, since the Liu family has lost their jobs in Kyoto, their household registration must be transferred back to their place of origin.
"Probably not!" Tang Zhan shook his head and replied, "If Liu Ying finds a job or gets married, she can stay."
"Get married?" Lan Guoer recalled how she looked when she met Liu Ying that day, and felt that this possibility was still very high.
After the incident, Liu Ying was released, but she still had a criminal record. Jobs in Kyoto were already hard to find, and no company would want someone with a criminal record like her.
