"It seems like it shouldn't take long to get there. I wonder what the situation is like in Guanghe County right now. We're already seeing a surge of refugees fleeing from the north."

Shen Hao had his own feelings in his heart. Looking at the refugees pouring in, their miserable appearance always reminded him of the days when his family was like refugees leaving Shengjing.

Although the news from the north is good news, it is rumored that General Yan has taken the head of the Xiongnu general and the enemy has retreated beyond the border.

They sent people to say that they were willing to negotiate peace, but the Huns had a history of not keeping their promises, so the people in the north did not dare to return to their previous homes easily, and they fled to the south.

Nowadays, many people have begun to drift to Linyuan County, but judging from what they saw today, it seems that the situation on the front line is still quite complicated and not optimistic.

"At least based on the current information, our Great Sheng Dynasty still has the upper hand. I just don't know what the imperial court is thinking. I heard that the Xiongnu's request for peace has already been sent to Shengjing."

In fact, in Shen Jia's heart, she did not agree to continue to maintain this kind of peace with the Huns, regardless of the suffering that the people had suffered before, and even sent a princess to marry in order to appease the people.

Clearly possessing the upper hand, they ruined the lives of one woman after another for the sake of so-called public opinion and respectability. Women in ancient times already faced a difficult life, and they were forced to sacrifice their lives for this superficial act.

I don’t know what the Yan Family Army, this group of soldiers who have guarded the northern border for generations, think?

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao sighed and said, "It's just a further extension of the armistice agreement."

For Shen Hao, who once dreamed of the military camp, he had read about such battles, big and small, countless times in books, and he also had a lot of understanding of the post-war appeasement issues.

The heavy sound of cow hooves hitting the snow also beat against their hearts, because they knew that this kind of thing was not something that people of their status could take care of. In today's world, it was better for them to take care of themselves.

When the noise gradually grew noisier, the two men saw the city gate of Guanghe County not far away. Refugees in ragged clothes and with lifeless eyes were crowded on one side of the city gate, trembling and hating the officers and soldiers guarding there.

It seems that the situation in Guanghe County is even worse than they imagined. Now it has even reached the point where refugees are not allowed to enter the city. When the crowd saw Shen Jia and Shen Hao driving the ox cart, they immediately became excited. The expectant light in their eyes made Shen Jia unable to bear to look directly at them.

Unfortunately, she is not a kind-hearted person, and if they make any move at this moment, they will definitely not be able to move an inch today.

Sure enough, when they saw the two approaching, the officers and soldiers immediately shouted at the refugees: "Get down! Who told you to stand up? If you want to enter the city, behave yourself and look at yourself."

He even drew out his sword from its scabbard, revealing the cold and gleaming gleam of his sword, and raised it high to threaten the refugees who tried to move.

After checking the two people's passes, Shen Jia realized after entering the city gate that what he had just seen outside the city gate was only a corner. Those who had no relatives or friends to rely on after entering the city could only wander on the streets, suffering from the cold wind and snow, and praying for help from kind-hearted people passing by.

Some even pushed their wives and daughters out on the streets to sell them. As soon as they sold them, they would rush to buy something else to fill their own and their sons' stomachs. As for their wives and daughters who were fleeing, they were no different from animals.

"Master, master, don't go! For just 100 coins, you can take both women with you. Don't worry, they are hardworking and will definitely not be a burden to you."

"Look at my daughter, uncle. She's young and pretty, but she's a little unrecognizable from being hungry. If you're willing to feed her some, I'm sure you'll like the way she looks in the future!"

Treating wives and daughters as mindless possessions and buying and selling them at will is a common sight on the entire street. Shen Jia looked at the lifeless and unresisting woman, and suddenly felt a surge of compassion in his heart.

In modern times, she could at least change her fate through knowledge, but how could women in ancient times control their own destiny? However, there were thousands of such people in the world, so how could she help them?

Right now, it was more important to manage his own tofu business. Shen Jia deliberately turned his head away from the cruel scene on the street. Shen Hao, who had been asking for Shen Jia's address, couldn't help but raise his voice:

"Jia Niang! Jia Niang, where is your carpenter?"

Shen Jia, who had come to his senses, seemed to have wilted completely. He replied indifferently, "Keep going ahead to the end of the street, turn left and you'll see it after two intersections."

Shen Hao didn't understand why Shen Jia's mood suddenly turned bad, but his experience since childhood told him that it was best not to disturb him at this time. There was no better way to survive than to do things silently.

After getting the item, because it was so huge, they split it into several parts and sent it back to Shen's Tofu Shop in Ning'an Town by ox cart.

The shop is now very famous. Even the old men driving ox carts are impressed by it and actively want to go and have a look, maybe they can buy something. Those who are in Lin County can only eat what their relatives and friends send them.

Moreover, the reputation of the tofu was becoming more and more mysterious, and he was very familiar with the route. When he went back, he asked Shen Jia and Shen Hao to drive his ox cart and walk slowly behind him.

Sitting on the wobbly ox cart, looking at the mechanical skeleton in front of him that had not yet been assembled, Shen Jia swept away the gloom that had just washed over him. In this world, it was better for him to take care of himself.

My biggest task now should be to work hard to make money, then cultivate my own people, and expand my business territory to the entire Dasheng Dynasty. If others want to touch me, they have to think about whether they are worthy of it!

Just as she was daydreaming, there was a "bang" and the ox cart hit something. Shen Hao quickly grabbed the ox and asked, "Jia Niang, are you okay?"

His leg accidentally bumped against the wooden board, but he didn't suffer any serious injuries. Shen Jia rubbed the painful part and replied, "It's okay, Third Uncle, did you bump into something? If you're okay, let's go quickly. The ox cart in front didn't seem to see us parked behind it."

"I don't know. I'll go down and take a look."

As soon as Shen Hao got off the car, he realized that he had almost run over someone with the ox wheel. He could only blame himself for not being noticeable in the snow because he was wearing white clothes.

Shen Hao, who had bumped into someone, quickly helped the person up. Feeling the burning heat on the person's body and the bleeding on his left upper arm, he shouted in surprise, "Jia Niang, I think I bumped into someone!"

Shen Jia quickly jumped out of the car, looked at the place where the other person had just been lying, then glanced at the position of the wheel, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle San, don't take the responsibility on yourself so quickly. Take a closer look at the snow pit under the wheel, and then look at the position where this person is lying.

It's obvious that this person has been lying here for quite some time. You just weren't paying attention. This person's injuries don't look like they were caused casually. Let's not make things difficult for ourselves and just put him back where he was."

According to another major rule of time travel, you should not pick up men on the street casually, and the man's clothes and temperament really make him look like he is not an ordinary person.

Shen Hao also discovered that the wound on the man's arm was probably caused by a knife, and the calluses on his hand showed that the man's identity was not ordinary, or that he had offended an unusual person.

But looking at a seriously injured person lying in the snow, Shen Hao couldn't just leave him there, so he looked at Shen Jia with pleading eyes.

Shen Jia really couldn't resist this kind of look, and immediately turned around to avoid Shen Hao's sight. At this moment, the man who was helped up by Shen Hao, his eyelashes covered with falling snow suddenly began to tremble, as if he was struggling hard.

The sudden movement of the body also scared Shen Hao, and he accidentally threw the person onto the snow.

Now it was impossible for Yan Xu not to wake up.

Shen Jia turned around when she heard the loud noise and looked at the injured person lying on the ground and the stunned Shen Hao. She didn't expect that her third uncle's mind would change so quickly.
