How does Pip answer to the convict when asked where he lives?

In the opening chapter of the novel, Pip is visiting his parents' graves when an escaped convict frightens him and demands to know his name. Pip is both stunned and terrified by the threatening convict, and he immediately tells the stranger his name. When the convict asks where Pip lives, he responds by pointing toward his village, which is about a mile past the church. The convict then proceeds to lift Pip upside down to empty his pockets. After finding a small piece of bread and voraciously inhaling the food, he asks Pip who he lives with. Pip responds by telling him that he lives with his sister and Joe Gargery, who is a blacksmith. The convict then instructs Pip to retrieve a file from Joe's forge and bring him some wittles, or else he will cut Pip's heart and liver out. As a frightened, stunned child, Pip is intimidated by the convict and follows through with his instructions. This leaves a tremendous impression on the convict, who ends up anonymously financing Pip to become a gentleman.
