Gu Shi Yi found it rather strange for her to act so familiar, making decisions for Zhuang Pu, but the matter was urgent, so she didn't make a fuss and responded,
"Yesterday, my wife received a letter from a fellow townsman. He said he has arrived at the Far West Land to sell goods and had gone into the mountains ahead. We, as a couple, want to visit him to inquire about the situation at my wife's home. However, we don't know which mountain he's on, so I'd like to ask you, cousin..."
Zhuang Pu curiously asked,
"Didn't your fellow townsman mention which village he's in?"
