The first snow after the Chinese New Year came quietly, and it was extremely cold. The cold snowflakes fell on the body and would soon turn into bone-bone cold air.

The snow was very heavy, covering most of the Uchiha family's territory and even covering most of the Qianshou area. At least at this moment, the two tribes were in the same mood, just wanting to let the cold pass quickly.

The climate in the north is colder than that in the ethnic areas. On the bustling streets of Xincheng, there was no one seen except a few patrol Zhongren wearing thick clothes.

In various shops on both sides of the street, vendors were cooking fires around the stove. They all moved in the north after stabilization. They needed to pay taxes to the Uchiha in the north regularly to settle here.

In this era of war, the tribes of various great ninja tribes are not open to the public. It is a luxury to find a peaceful city, and there is no complaint about paying taxes.

Compared with the clan, the North is not inferior to the New Year. They had exterminated the three northern forces long ago and gained a lot of benefits. They were so rich that they could be said to be rich. During the New Year, Uchiha Shinji waved his hand and distributed a large number of supplies to the clan, which welcomed a large number of cheers.

Of course, the people distributed are limited to the Uchiha tribe in the north, and those who come to the north for stability cannot receive such benefits.

Where there is light, there will inevitably be darkness, and happiness also means relative pain. Even in this prosperous northern city, there are many problems.

As a large number of people poured into the north, it was naturally impossible for them to be rich merchants or nobles. In fact, ordinary people who could not afford taxes accounted for the vast majority. They were not accepted by the city, so they became beggars, hooligans, gangsters, etc., and turned into the shadow of the city.

This is actually an inevitable development. When every big city rises early, there will inevitably be such a stage. At the beginning, Shinji Uchiha also thought about remediation and sent Uchiha's ninjas to uproot several of the gangsters and gangsters who were gangsters.

But he immediately found that this was useless. There were still a continuous stream of poor people coming here, and it was impossible for him to kill everyone.

In this chaotic Warring States Period, most of them gathered in extremely primitive villages or ninja clans. Even small towns were rare, and only the largest few daimyo forces had cities.

Shin Castle was originally only bigger than the usual small town. Later, in order to develop, Shinji Uchiha launched a ninja to vigorously expand the city, and vaguely had the prototype of a great city in the future. This kind of place was like a beacon in this chaotic Warring States Period. The poor people who suffered from war would naturally gather here even by instinct.

Faced with these large numbers of poor people, Uchiha Shinji had a headache, and later he adopted a helpless method that countless sages in another world had adopted.

Gather these poor people who are unable to survive in one place, divide them into a region to survive, let them survive on their own, only maintain nominal leadership and surveillance, and ignore the rest.

The slums appeared here. Here, there was no rule, only the naked and powerful people were respected, chaos, hunger, dirty, and depraved. They were the most intuitively reflected here. Often, for a meal, the people here could give up everything they had. Of course, in fact, most of them had nothing but their lives.

But at least, there is one advantage here that is that other places do not have, that is, it is still Xincheng, and there is no war here. With this alone, countless people are willing to live a life like hell rather than leave.

After all, this place is just like hell, while other places in the Warring States Period are real hell. Those who have never seen the tragic situation of war will never understand what kind of cruelty it is.

During the Chinese New Year, Uchiha Shinji did not forget these poor people in the dark. On the day of the day, he distributed a lot of food to the slums, which was somewhat of a dedication.

It has been seven days since the Great Wall. The food provided by Uchiha Shinji on that day has been consumed. In fact, even on that day, the food distributed is not enough.

At 10:00 a.m. in a broken wooden house with wind leaks everywhere, the north wind whistled, and large snowflakes poured in. The little girl curled up in the only broken blanket at home was shivering. Her exposed calves were already numb and numb. Her face was dirty, and she could only see passive redness. She could not see how she looked. Her hair was also yellow due to long-term malnutrition, and now she was stained with a layer of white snow.

In fact, this wooden house does not have the effect of keeping cold at all. The only thing it can provide is probably a little comfort in the heart.

The little girl is only nine years old. She is waiting for her sister. She hasn't eaten for two days. If there is no food, she may not be able to hold on for two more days in this cold weather.

At that time, she will become a dead body in the slum. She often sees such dead bodies and is not unfamiliar with them. In such places, everyone has no attitude towards such corpses.

I don’t know how long I waited, but the little girl opened her eyes in a daze. What imprinted her eyes was a girl wearing frost and snow, about two years older than her. The two looked very similar. She was the little girl’s sister.

"You're so hungry, eat quickly." The girl spoke, gently helping her sister to remove the snowflakes from her head, and took out a piece of hard gypsum-like food from her arms.

My sister's eyes lit up and she whispered in a low voice: "Rincao, sister, you really have the ability, where did you come from?"

The girl smiled gently and didn't speak. The two of them carefully set up a fire in the hut, put the rice cakes on the fire with branches, and waited until it was a little softer, and the sister couldn't wait to take a bite. She was really hungry.

The girl looked at her sister with a smile on her lips. At this moment, she could surround a fire and watch her sister swallowing food in big mouthfuls. This is the greatest happiness.

"Sister, you eat too." The sister had eaten half of it and handed over the rest. The girl was stunned, shook her head and smiled, "You eat, I've eaten it."

How could my sister not tell that this was an excuse. She stuffed the remaining half of rice cake into her hands regardless of the slightest, and whispered: "If you lie, you will swallow a thousand needles. It was you who told me, sister."

Looking at the sister's serious gaze, a layer of mist appeared in the girl's eyes, and she nodded invisible.

"Haha, I found it, the cake thief was here."
