"A motorhome?" Xie Yu nodded. "So that's what the horse is called. I've never heard of it before."

Undeterred, Wang Yiyi asked, "You really don't know?"

Xie Yu replied humbly, "I am ignorant and have no idea what kind of breed it is."

Wang Yiyi beckoned with her finger: "Tell me where the dagger at your waist came from, and I'll tell you where this horse came from."

"This dagger was a gift from my eldest sister." Xie Yu weighed it in her hand; the matter was harmless.

"Was it bought in Shixian County?"

"Yes." Xie Yu was somewhat surprised, glancing at the dagger at her waist. Had she guessed wrong? "Could this dagger have some connection with you, young lady?"

Wang Yi was immediately extremely disappointed. It was truly a misunderstanding; there was no one in this world who came from the same place as her.

Instantly, she didn't want to talk to the person in front of her anymore, and stepped on the gas to leave.

Xie Yu gripped the windowsill tightly with his hands and turned to ask, "Miss, you still haven't told me where this horse came from. Would you be willing to part with it? I'm willing to pay three times the price."

Wang Yiyi's face darkened as she blocked Xie Yu's view from peeking inside with her body, and pried Xie Yu's fingers apart: "I'm not selling it. I acquired this horse by chance, and it's the only one of its kind in the world. Forget about it."

With that, he stepped on the gas and drove off.

She was filled with regret; she had almost exposed her RV. She really needed to be more careful in the future.

Xie Yu got a mouthful of dust, and in the blink of an eye, he could only see the shadow of a carriage. He frowned. This woman's mood changed too quickly. He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what he had done to offend her.

But this horse is truly captivating.

Oh right, the woman seemed to say she was from Hedong Village. He took out the map he carried with him, found the location of Hedong Village, and rode there on horseback.

Once Wang Yiyi returned to the vicinity of town, he packed up the RV, put the money he had collected into a small bucket, held it in his arms, and went to find Daya and Erya with the two empty buckets in hand.

The tofu was almost sold out, with only seven or eight pieces left. When Da Ya saw her return carrying empty buckets, she asked, "Why did it take you so long? Next time, remember to arrange a time with people so you don't have to wait around."

Wang Yiyi obediently agreed and took a piece of meat from the bucket: "I also bought a piece of meat on the way. I'll ask my mother to make minced meat and tofu when we get back."

She took out two jin of white rice from her spatial storage, which she had also prepared, "It goes best with white rice."

Daya looked distressed: "Is the money from selling tofu enough to buy all this?"

The meat looked to weigh about two pounds, and the white rice wasn't cheap either.

"That's enough, there are still 60 coins left." Wang Yiyi pointed to the money in the bucket.

Er Ya smacked her teeth and said, "I've never had minced meat tofu before, but since it's made with pork, it must be delicious."

Da Ya laughed when she heard this. It was San Mei who suggested making tofu and selling it in the city. She could buy whatever she wanted to eat.

Before long, the remaining tofu was sold out, and the three of them went home together.

As soon as she got home, before she could even speak, Wang Yiyi saw Xie Yu sitting in the main room, with her parents treating him with some respect.

Before she could even express her surprise at his presence, Wang Dashan warmly pulled her over, saying, "This is our savior! Why are you being so hesitant when we just want to ask you something?"

Before she could reply, Madam Li added, "When we were captured by the Dayong people before, and when your father and the others went to Daliu Village to beg for food, it was Young Master Xie who rescued them!"

Wang Yiyi never expected that the person whose face she hadn't even seen clearly before was actually Xie Yu. In that case, he really was her savior.

She thanked him.

Xie Yu inquired around Hedong Village but couldn't find anyone named Wang Yiyi. She almost thought it was a place she had made up.

Later, he learned through her appearance that Wang Sanya from the Wang family seemed to be the person he was looking for.

At first, Li was puzzled by his arrival, but when she learned that he was the person she had met that night in Daliu Village, she became incredibly warm and welcoming. It was during their conversation that she learned that he had saved the Wang family back then.

When he met Wang Yiyi, he realized that she was indeed a native of Hedong Village, and that he had misunderstood her before.

He gave Wang Yiyi an apologetic smile: "It was nothing."

Li nudged Wang Yiyi: "My benefactor said he has something to ask you. You two talk first, I'll go cook. Please stay for dinner, benefactor."

Daya also hurriedly took out the meat and rice and followed Li into the kitchen.

Wang Yiyi said helplessly, "I really don't know where that horse came from. It was from a traveling merchant I knew. I really don't know anything else."

She had inspected the exterior of the RV many times. To the naked eye, it looked exactly like a horse-drawn carriage, and even the feel of it was similar. As long as you didn't go inside the RV, you wouldn't notice anything.

She was very confident about this, and she was always very careful, never showing the interior of the RV to anyone.

Let Xie Yu search for it; he won't find it even if he turns the whole world upside down.

Xie Yu, seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, said with some disappointment, "What a pity! If we had such a divine steed, military intelligence from the border could be delivered to the capital in a single day, and military provisions from Jiangnan could be delivered to the border much faster!"

Wang Yiyi thought to herself, what a pity, this RV is one of a kind in the world, and she is not that great, wholeheartedly dedicated to contributing to the country, she doesn't care about battle reports or military rations.

Wang Dashan suggested from the side, "Why don't you introduce this person to Young Master Xie? Perhaps he knows something about him?"

Xie Yu immediately put on an expectant expression, staring intently at Wang Yiyi.

This inexplicably reminded Wang Yiyi of a stray dog ​​begging for food, humble yet ambitious.

She shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. He's just a traveling merchant. I don't know where he's gone right now."

Xie Yu did not stay for dinner. Before leaving, he handed Wang Yi a token: "If you find out any news about him, come to the military camp to find me. This is a matter of national importance, so please take it seriously."

Seeing his extremely solemn instructions, Wang Yiyi also changed to a serious expression and accepted the token with both hands.

The token was made of black iron and had the character "Xie" on it. She secretly guessed that using a surname as a token meant that Xie Yu must come from a large family and have a high status.

I wonder what the relationship is between General Xie of the border and this person?

She glanced at it, then placed the token on her chest, effectively storing it in her spatial storage.

Their family had no one to rely on. If she were to deal with Jiang Chengzong in the future and offend the county magistrate, perhaps she could seek help from this man surnamed Xie to save her life.

She replied with utmost sincerity, "Definitely, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

When Li heard the sound of horses' hooves and chased after them, they were already far away. She couldn't help but complain, "How come you couldn't even keep one person here?"

Wang Yi said, "He has other things to do. There are requirements in the military camp. Besides, he left something behind, saying that if he needs anything in the future, he can go to the military camp to find him and they will meet again."

Only then did Mrs. Li stop nagging: "Next time you see him, you must invite him over for dinner. How did you make that minced meat and tofu again?"
