The next morning, Li knocked on the door early. When she saw Wang Yiyi, her tense expression relaxed a little.

"How did you sleep last night? Were you scared to sleep alone?"

She felt a little guilty as she said this. Her daughter was being naughty, and she should have come to see her more often. But she had been exhausted both physically and mentally these past few days, and she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She had just woken up.

Wang Yiyi was in a good mood and smiled at Li Shi: "I slept very well. The magistrate said he would arrange a carriage to take us back."

"This is too much trouble for the magistrate, we can't possibly accept it." That's what she said, but Li's mouth was practically stretched to her ears: "Then hurry up and go down, eat your breakfast quickly, don't keep people waiting."

Wang Yi washed her face hastily before Li pulled her away.

Wang Dashan had already ordered a very lavish meal. Seeing Wang Yiyi's surprised look, he chuckled and said, "Your mother said that the money should be spent as much as possible."

But you can't just buy a mountain of buns, can you? Can't you buy something else?

Before she could speak, Da Tou handed her a steamed bun: "It's meat-filled, and it's delicious."

Wang Yi took a bite and found it was indeed tastier than the frozen buns in the refrigerator. She ate three in a row.

By the time the carriage sent by the county magistrate arrived, the mountain of buns had been almost completely eaten.

"One tael of silver to Shi County." The driver of the carriage turned from respect to contempt when he saw Wang Dashan's family come out.

When he received the magistrate's order to send people to Shi County, he thought they were some great esteemed person, or at least a wealthy landowner. How could they be some lowly peasants who probably couldn't even afford to pay? He was a little annoyed that they had gotten up so early to come all this way for nothing.

Wang Yi was speechless. He hadn't expected that the magistrate's promise to find a carriage to take them back would actually result in them "finding" a carriage, and they would have to pay for it themselves.

That's quite a good calculation.

The dignified county magistrate was playing word games with this commoner, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Looking at the driver's attitude, Wang Yiyi wanted to lose her temper on the spot, but before she could even open her mouth...

Mrs. Li exclaimed in surprise, "So expensive?"

The driver's tone was even more disdainful: "I went to Shi County and came back empty-handed. One tael of silver for a round trip is already considered cheap."

"One tael it is." Wang Dashan gritted his teeth. Normally, he would never have been willing to spend this money, but now that he had silver in his hands, and it was ill-gotten, he felt he should spend it.

Thinking of the hot money, Li stopped talking and agreed to her husband's decision.

The driver immediately changed his attitude: "Alright, I guarantee it will be delivered to Shi County before Shenshi (3-5 PM)."

Wang Dashan felt a little better. He should be able to find an oxcart to go back to the village before Shenshi (3-5 PM), so his family could go home tonight.

She took out a silver ingot and handed it to the driver, who became even more attentive.

Wang Dashan and Da Tou sat on the carriage shaft, while the others sat inside the carriage.

The carriage was much more comfortable than walking, but Wang Yiyi still felt uncomfortable from the jolting; it couldn't compare to her RV.

Li noticed her discomfort and held her in his arms, patting her back.

Just outside the city, Wang Erya suddenly vomited.

The carriage was already crowded with five people, and since no one noticed Er Ya, she vomited all over the carriage.

Li hurriedly called out to Wang Dashan to stop the carriage: "Er Ya seems to have a fever."

These days, having a fever is a serious matter; it can even be fatal.

Wang Dashan was also anxious and hurriedly said to the driver, "We need to find a doctor in Liangping County now."

The driver glanced at the carriage, didn't agree, and instead looked disgusted: "What's wrong with you guys? I just washed this carriage, and you've vomited all over it. How am I supposed to pick up other passengers?"

"We can pay for it," Wang Dashan immediately said.

"It's not right to ask for less than a tael of silver. This smell will take several days to dissipate. I haven't had any business for days. You have to compensate me," the driver shouted.

Wang Dashan was about to take out his money when Wang Yiyi grabbed him and pressed him down, saying, "Why should I give you money? My sister threw up in the car, which means you're a bad driver. We haven't even asked you for medical expenses yet, how dare you ask us for money?"

"You little brat, who gave you the right to speak?" The driver looked at Wang Yiyi's small frame and wanted to push her.

Wang Yiyi didn't give him that chance. He stood behind his two older brothers, and the driver, seeing the two young men, finally dared not step forward. He whispered, "I won't argue with a girl."

"Let's clean the carriage now, and you get to Shi County as fast as you can," Wang Yiyi said, sticking her head out.

Li quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "It will take more than half a day to get to Shi County now. Your second sister needs to see a doctor immediately."

"Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Er Ya's vomit had a sour smell, which was probably due to excessive fright and overeating in the morning, causing indigestion. Now that it's all come out, it's not a big problem.

Most importantly, she has these medicines in her RV, which will definitely ensure that Er Ya is alright. It's best to leave Liangping County as soon as possible.

Wang Dashan asked, "Is your second sister really alright?"

"You believe me, Dad."

Wang Erya got down on the ground and felt much better after being blown by the wind: "Dad, I feel much better after I threw up."

"Okay, Dad believes you. Let's go back to Shi County first." Wang Dashan made the decision. Sanya had changed a lot, which made her trustworthy.

Seeing that Er Ya was indeed much better than before, Li agreed with Wang Dashan's statement.

The coachman was unhappy: "I won't leave unless you give me another tael of silver."

Wang Yi snorted coldly: "In this desolate wilderness, you are only one, while we have seven. Anyway, the war has just ended. We can just say that you were killed by the Dayong people, and we'll get a carriage for free."

The driver paused for a moment, glanced at Wang Dashan, then at Wang Datou, and swallowed hard. "I was sent by the magistrate. If I don't go back, he won't let you off the hook."

Wang Yiyi smiled dismissively: "You're just a coachman, what right does the magistrate have over you? Besides, who can prove you weren't the mediocre fellow we met on the way back?"

"You guys are ruthless." The driver had no choice but to admit defeat, and took the initiative to pull up a handful of grass from the roadside to clean the carriage.

Mrs. Li was stunned. How could her daughter possibly say something about murder?

Even after she got back into the carriage, she still felt that the daughter in front of her was a stranger. As if possessed, she asked, "Are you really Sanya?"

Without waiting for Wang Yiyi's reply, she reached out and started rolling up her sleeve. When she saw the birthmark, she asked herself, "Look at me, getting senile. Who else could this be but Sanya?"

"Mom, what are you doing? Third Sister is under your nose every day. Do you think she'll be someone else?" Wang Daya couldn't help but complain to her mother.

Li laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I'm getting senile. Your third sister has been intelligent since she was a child."

The idea of ​​someone being resurrected through another's body is indeed difficult to explain. Wang Yiyi remained silent, choosing to acquiesce.
