""I'll try to go to the city when I get the chance," said Lin Changshu. In reality, the Capital City wasn't too far from Shili Village, only about fifteen or sixteen miles away. However, since the bustling market at the foot of Ding'an Temple was established, villagers preferred to do their business there. After all, compared to dealing with the contemptuous looks from city dwellers, they preferred doing business at the market.
Besides, with the presence of Ding'an Temple, there was a considerable amount of merchants traveling from north to south. The goods they brought, to be honest, were no worse than those available in the city.
In this lifetime, not to mention Lin Changshu, even the old patriarch had never set foot in the city.
They neither wanted nor preferred to go to the city. In their view, the difference between city people and their farming lifestyle was as wide as the difference between the earth and the sky.
