She laughed through her tears: "I almost forgot, this wolf is truly our benefactor. Luckily, I didn't spend all my money."

"Let's tidy up the house a bit, and tomorrow your dad will go to town to buy some food."

After experiencing despair, the family was given hope again, and suddenly the house didn't seem so bad anymore.

It was already completely dark when Li and her family tidied up the beds and let the children rest.

Although the Wang family wasn't starving, they weren't exactly wealthy either, and they didn't own many houses.

The main house has three rooms. The middle room is the main hall. The east room is where Wang Dashan and his wife live. The west room is divided into two rooms, one for the three sisters and the other for the two brothers.

Near the east side of the main house, there was a thatched hut that served as the kitchen, and next to it was a bamboo shed used to keep chickens and ducks.

Despite being prepared, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel disgusted once she entered the room.

Needless to say, the room is small, and the bed is also small. If three people were to lie on the bed, it would probably be difficult for them to even turn over.

She missed the big bed in the RV terribly.

"You two come and sleep now." Daya spread the blankets out and stood by the bed, beckoning to her two younger sisters.

Er Ya responded and got into bed, then patted the spot inside, saying, "San Ya, come here quickly."

"I'll read for a while before I go to sleep." Wang Yi didn't move, but sat on the only stool in the room. She desperately needed to understand the world.

"Okay then." Wang Daya replied, sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the needle and thread, and began sewing the clothes that Er Ya had just taken off.

Wang Yi nodded, but his eyes started to ache after less than fifteen minutes; the light was simply too dim.

She glanced at Daya, who was also rubbing her eyes from time to time. She turned her back and secretly took a flashlight out of the RV.

"What is this?"

Daya was startled by the sudden light.

"I don't know either, I just touched it and it's like this." Wang Yiyi pretended to be scared, but the flashlight was still firmly held in her hand.

Seeing her younger sister's expression, Daya suppressed her fear and took the things from Wang Yiyi's hands: "Where did you find this? Throw it away quickly."

As she was about to leave, Wang Yiyi stopped her: "Big sister, this thing is brighter than a lamp. It would be a waste to throw it away. Let's keep it and use it."

Daya looked conflicted. This thing was indeed brighter than an oil lamp, but it looked strange.

Wang Yiyi calmly took the flashlight from Da Ya's hand: "Big sister, I heard there's something called a luminous pearl in the east that can illuminate the night as brightly as day. Is this the legendary luminous pearl?"

Daya also felt a little curious and mustered up her courage to take it. This thing really didn't look like a bead, but it didn't seem dangerous. The light was bright but not hot to the touch.

She lowered her voice, "Where did you get this?"

If it were truly a luminous pearl, it would be incredibly valuable.

Wang Yiyi lied with a straight face: "That wolf carried a bundle, and inside, besides silver, there was this thing. Don't you think it belongs to Da Yongren?"

Daya quickly made a shushing gesture: "Don't tell anyone about this. Don't let anyone know you have this except your family."

"Yeah, I won't say it, but this stuff is really good. My eyes don't feel strained when I read anymore."

Daya laughed and tapped her nose: "You actually understood this book?"

He glanced at Er Ya, who was sleeping soundly, and turned his body to the side to avoid the light shining directly on her face.

The matter of the flashlight was thus glossed over.

Wang Yiyi began to read the book intently by the light of a flashlight, and the more she read, the more surprised she became.

Dayong and Daqi are situated in a north-south orientation, with a vast mountain range stretching for 100,000 li between them serving as a natural barrier. Only a gentle river runs through the middle, allowing passage between the two countries, and it is always heavily guarded.

This gentle river is at least a hundred miles away from Hedong Village. It doesn't make sense that the war ended in just two days after they fought all the way here.

This can only mean that the Great Qi is powerful, or that the Great Yong Kingdom didn't send many people at all.

She finally understood why there hadn't been many traces of war along the way; it must have just been minor border skirmishes.

And just like that, the original owner's family became prisoners of war, which was really unlucky.

However, at least it shows that Hedong Village is safe for the time being. Wang Yiyi closed the book and prepared to go to sleep.

When Da Ya saw that she wasn't looking anymore, she found a piece of clothing to cover the flashlight, and then moved a little further away from Er Ya, gesturing for her to lie down inside.

Wang Yi lifted up his shirt: "There's a button here. Press it and it won't light up. I just accidentally touched this button to turn it on."

She took Daya's hand and pressed the switch, and sure enough, the light went out immediately.

"What a treasure." Daya carefully placed the flashlight aside and lay down on the outermost side.

Just as uncomfortable as she had imagined, Wang Yiyi did not sleep well that night.

She got up early the next morning.

Wang Dashan and Li Shi had gotten up early and were tidying up in the yard.

Wang Yiyi greeted them, saying she was going to take a stroll in the back mountain. Li Shi didn't even look up, just waved her off.

Following the original owner's memory, Wang Yiyi went to the back mountain alone and returned shortly with a nest of eggs.

Of course, she took them out of her spatial storage; this time, she didn't deliberately choose small eggs.

The hill behind the house isn't far, and it's not uncommon for chickens to occasionally lay an egg there.

Mrs. Li was delighted to see the eggs: "Which hen built a nest on the back hill? If these hatch, we'll have chicks at home."

He took the eggs and examined them one by one in the morning sun.

She was very disappointed; none of the eggs hatched into chicks.

Wang Yiyi was not surprised at all by this result; it would be strange if it happened.

"Mom, let's boil the eggs, I'm starving."

Li responded and went to the kitchen. After a while, she brought out six and a half eggs: "You eat first. I'm not hungry. Your father will go to town to buy grain later. I'll make you wheat cakes for dinner."

Wang Yiyi was afraid of encountering this situation, so she specially brought ten eggs, but unexpectedly, Li Shi still couldn't bear to eat them.

He sighed and ate half an egg.

Wang Dashan didn't eat the half egg he took, but gave it to Li Shi, and then took Da Tou and Er Tou to town.

"Mother, I'll go to the back mountain to see if there are any more eggs." Wang Yiyi followed closely behind and went out the door.

Half an egg wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap; she hadn't eaten anything last night and was starving.

This time, she deliberately walked further in and chose a spot without tall trees, wanting to see if she could take the RV out.

She had no foothold in this world; unlimited food and unlimited weapons were her death warrant.

If those in power found out, she wouldn't even have the strength to fight back. With the RV, she would at least have a little bit of ability to protect herself.

She didn't take out the RV immediately. Instead, she ate and drank her fill first, and then carefully looked around to make sure no one was around before taking out the RV.
