It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

Chapter 225 Take action

After a while, a haggard-looking middle-aged man in his 40s walked out of the room with a blue rag as a door curtain.

He first glanced up at the huge crowd, then turned to look at General Xu and asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

He didn't recognize the person in front of him.

Carpenter Ge did not know General Xu, but General Xu did know his name. After all, when they were in the capital, Carpenter Ge's carpentry work was quite famous.

So he dismounted, walked up to Carpenter Ge and said, "Carpenter Ge, may I have a moment with you?"

"Then let's go to the front." Carpenter Ge casually pointed to an open space in front and said.

The place they lived in had no soundproofing at all, so it was better to talk in the open space in front than in the room.

He didn't know what the man in front of him wanted from him, but he felt that he had nothing that could be targeted by others, so it would be okay to see what this man was going to do.

The two walked to the side, and General Xu said directly: "My brother needs to find a carpenter to make some things for him. If Carpenter Ge is willing, you can come with us, and my brother will provide you with food."

"Really?" Carpenter Ge looked incredulous when he heard that.

Food is now extremely expensive and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money. Carpenter Ge found it hard to believe that someone would be willing to provide him with free food just for letting him do some carpentry work.

He is good at carpentry, but he knows nothing about growing crops.

"Of course it's true. My senior brother is a man of his word. As long as you don't do anything that is detrimental to him, he will treat you with courtesy." said General Xu.

"Who is your senior brother?" asked Carpenter Ge.

Upon hearing this, General Xu gestured to him where Huo Yu was.

Carpenter Ge looked over there when he saw Huo?. He didn't think he was a bad guy from his appearance, but when he saw the carriage tied up with rattan behind him, he couldn't help but frown.

What kind of technique is this? Even a train compartment can be made so ugly.

Huo? on the other side seemed to have sensed Carpenter Ge's disdain, so he shrugged indifferently. There was nothing he could do about it. Neither he nor Ning Yan were good at carpentry. Being able to make this carriage was already very good. Who cared whether it looked good or not, as long as it could be used.

After Carpenter Ge took a disdainful look at him, he was sure that this man might not be lying to him and really wanted to find a carpenter.

After thinking it over, he said, "I can go with you, but I have one condition."

"Tell me, what are the conditions?" Xu Shenshen said.

"I have a 4-year-old grandson, and I hope to take him with me. You will provide him with food. As long as he doesn't starve to death, we don't care about anything else." Carpenter Ge said.

"Sure, no problem." General Xu agreed immediately.

It’s just food for a little kid, Senior Brother Huo will definitely agree to it.

"So should I pack up now?" Carpenter Ge asked again when he saw that General Xu agreed.

To be honest, he had just built this place, and it felt a pity to leave now. However, if the person in front of him wanted him to follow immediately, he would definitely follow immediately. After all, being able to have enough food to eat in the future is the most important thing.

"Yes, we are leaving soon and may not stay here, so you can just go and pack your things," said General Xu.

Upon hearing this, Carpenter Ge went back to pack his things without saying a word, while General Xu went straight back to Huo and reported the matter to him.

Huo nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood.

One of the people living with him was curious about why they came to see Carpenter Ge. When she saw him come back, she asked, "Carpenter Ge, what do these people want from you?"

"Nothing." Carpenter Ge waved his hand and didn't want to say more, then went straight into the room.

The aunt couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw Carpenter Ge was so secretive. Why are you being so secretive? You're just a carpenter, do they really want you to do carpentry work?

The situation is so bad these people have fled from famine that they can't even get enough food to eat. Who would have the time to let someone do carpentry work?

Seeing that she couldn't get to the bottom of the matter, she went back to her work in disappointment.

After a while, Carpenter Ge came out of the room carrying a package that was twice as big as himself and holding a little boy's hand.

The little boy seemed a little shy. When he saw so many people including Huo, he looked timid. He didn't dare to look at them and kept hiding behind Carpenter Ge.

Seeing the people coming out, Huo Yu said directly to Carpenter Ge, "Get in the car."

Carpenter Ge looked at the carriage, which was more than a man tall, and hesitated as to how to get on. Then he saw a carriage coming from behind. A young and handsome man stood on it, half bent over and looked at him and said, "Come on in."

Seeing this, he didn't hesitate and put the bag in a corner. Then he carried his grandson into the car. After he got in, he locked the back of the car according to the boy's method.

Then he sat at the rear of the carriage, while the boy and his two sons sat at the front.

After Huo and the others were seated, they turned the car around and prepared to leave.

However, when he was about to go out, he was a little surprised by the huge crowd standing outside.

As he was surprised, he vaguely heard someone in the crowd shouting in surprise: "Hey, it really works! This car can actually start running without even touching the ground. It's truly a magical car."

"Tsk~, why do I not believe it? How can this car run on its own without any cows or horses? There must be some mechanism hidden in it."

"What mechanism is this? I think it's the talent. This guy seems to be stronger than an ox or a horse. He has natural brute force and works better than an ox or a horse." A person guessed what he thought was correct.

"Careful with your words," another person warned. "You sound too much like an insult."

"Then why do you think this car can run so fast? Even the shape of the car is so strange, and this man is sitting in the front." The man didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his guess.

After hearing this, everyone instantly felt that there was some truth in it, and they all immediately showed great respect for Huo?. This brute force was indeed better than that of an ox or a horse.

Some even asked, "What do you say if I buy this person back?"

At this speed, why would you need a horse? This is much more convenient than a horse.

This is equivalent to one person doing the work of two people, being able to serve as both a driver and a horse, which is both cost-effective and efficient.

After he finished speaking, a few voices of agreement were heard from the crowd, and some people even openly discussed the buying and selling prices.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and Huo Yu had good hearing, so he naturally heard their conversation clearly.

He didn't even know that in just a short while, he had ridden less than 2 kilometers in the city and attracted so many people. It seems that gossip is human nature and an indispensable part of life no matter what era or time.

But these people actually compared him to cattle and horses, and wanted to trade him? It was really very annoying.
