Chapter 1027: Chapter 865: Robbery

“Miss, life seems to be tougher in Xiliang than anywhere else!”

On the way back to the posthouse, Bi Shi felt rather emotional.

Daohua: “After all, it is the borderland, and it definitely can’t compare with the inland.” As she spoke, she paused for a moment, “Maybe the situation here is still okay, the further northwest you go, not only do the climatic conditions get worse, but you also have to constantly suffer the invasions of Xiliao people, and that’s when life truly becomes a living hell.”

Afterward, seeing a grain store, Daohua went in to have a look.

The shop mostly sold coarse grains, and fine grains were very scarce, with rice being rarely seen.

Daohua inquired about the prices, perhaps because of the low grain yield in Xiliang, the food here was at least 20% more expensive than in other places.

After visiting several towns in succession, Daohua lost interest in getting off the carriage, as resources were scarce here. Apart from buying some grain, she could only purchase some beef and mutton from the herdsmen.

As for vegetables, in the winter here there was only pickled and dried vegetables, and even those were limited in variety—typically only cabbage and radishes were common.

With nothing to see or enjoy, Daohua had the caravan increase its speed.

Xiliang had many mountains, and the farther west they went, the more uneven the terrain, riding in a carriage all day made everyone feel almost shattered to pieces.

Daohua feared that Gu Jian’s constitution wouldn’t hold up, so every day at noon they would stop to rest for half an hour, allowing everyone to get out and stretch their limbs.
