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

Chapter 228 Big changes

When Qiao Yuan heard that he could get a long-term free meal ticket by helping with blacksmithing, he blocked Suifeng's way.

Because he likes to eat but doesn't like to cook and is not very good at cooking, now there is an opportunity to provide free food, and coupled with the famine, he naturally does not want to miss this opportunity.

Hearing this, Suifeng walked forward and asked, "Do you have a finished product?"

"Yes." After hearing this, Qiao Yuan handed the knife on his back to Suifeng.

Suifeng took it, opened the scabbard and took a look, then couldn't help but praise it: "Nice knife."

The blade is as smooth as a mirror and looks light, but it feels a bit heavy when held in the hand. The blade is extremely sharp. Qiao Yuan said it can cut iron like mud.

"How is it? Does it meet your requirements?" Qiao Yuan asked.

Sui Feng sheathed the knife, handed it to Qiao Yuan, and said, "Come with me to see Boss Huo. He will decide whether to accept you or not."

Qiao Yuan took the knife and asked, "What's your boss Huo's name?"

"You'll know when you get there." Suifeng said as he and the others walked forward without looking back.

Qiao Yuan didn't say anything after hearing this and just followed him forward.

After arriving at where Huo Xi was, Sui Feng briefly explained the situation and then introduced Qiao Yuan to Huo Xi.

The moment he saw Qiao Yuan, Huo Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and then said, "How come the famous Qiao Yidao is pretending to be a blacksmith?"

Qiao Yuan is known as Qiao Yidao in the martial arts world. He is a very famous weapon forger. The swords, spears, swords and halberds made by him are always more exquisite and of higher quality than those made by others.

Huo Yu's soft sword was made by him, but his whereabouts are uncertain, so it depends on luck if you want to find him to make weapons.

I didn't expect to meet him here, and he came to me on his own initiative.

"Do you know me?" Qiao Yuan asked in surprise after hearing what Huo Yu said.

Suifeng was also a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that this person was Qiao Yidao. He had heard of his name but had never seen him in person.

Huo? had no intention of reminiscing about the past here. His car had been parked here for too long, and there were always people watching nearby. Moreover, there were a lot of them, more than 100 people, plus horses, a huge crowd. If he stayed any longer, he would definitely attract soldiers.

Since Qiao Yidao is willing to come, that’s the best. His ability to forge things is much better than that of an ordinary blacksmith.

However, he did not answer Qiao Yuan's words. Instead, he said to him directly: "Let Suifeng arrange a horse for you. Let's leave here first and talk about other things later."

Qiao Yuan looked at the carriage behind him and asked in confusion, "What kind of car is this? Can it carry people?"

"Okay, but there's no room for more people now. You ride your horse first, and I'll explain everything to you when we get there." Huo said.

Because of the engine and other things placed inside, as well as the Ge family's grandfather and grandson, it was indeed not very spacious. In addition, his wife was there, so Huo Yu did not let Qiao Yuan ride in the car.

After hearing this, Qiao Yuan didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he took the reins of the horse handed to him by Suifeng and left with them.

However, after seeing Huo start the car, he became interested in it. It was the first time he saw someone driving like this, and it was really interesting.

Compared with other prefectures, Xiyuan Prefecture is located at a higher altitude, with rolling mountains and hills everywhere.

Huo? had been to Xiyuan City and was relatively familiar with the terrain here. He led everyone directly to Agu Mountain, where the largest river in the city was located.

They had to seize the advantageous position before others could react, so that they could use water conveniently and have enough time to assemble the tractor.

They walked without stopping for almost half an hour before finally reaching their destination.

There is a large grassland below Mount Agu, which is just right for horses to graze and rest.

Huo and his men found a relatively high place upstream of the river and set up camp there.

It was the first time for Carpenter Ge and Ge Cong to ride in such a shaking car. As soon as they got off the car, the grandfather and grandson couldn't help vomiting, and then lay on the ground for a long time without recovering.

Ning Jing took out a bag of mint candy, handed it to Ge Cong and said, "This is the candy my father and I made together. It's for you and Grandpa Ge. You will feel better after eating it."

Ning Jing became familiar with Ge Cong along the way. Seeing that he was feeling uncomfortable, he gave him some candies he made.

Ge Cong took the candy with a pale face and said lifelessly, "Thank you."

Carpenter Ge lay on the ground with his eyes closed, muttering to himself.

Now he knew what Ning Jian wanted him to do, and he swore that he would design a very comfortable and shock-proof carriage, otherwise his old arms and legs would not be able to withstand the torture.

A ride on this noisy car could cost him half his life.

On the other side, Qiao Yuan found Huo Yu and talked to him about the topic that they had not finished discussing in the city.

After chatting for a few words, Qiao Yuan said with understanding: "So you are Huo?"

No wonder he recognized him. When this man came to him to make weapons, he changed his appearance. Now he didn't have his sword with him, so Qiao Yuan didn't recognize him.

Then Qiao Yuan asked again: "What do you want the blacksmith to do now? Still forging weapons?"

"No." Huo shook his head and said, "Assemble this tractor."

He then pointed to the car in front.

"I will tell you and Carpenter Ge the specific details tomorrow. Then you can discuss and build it together. You can tell me if you need anything, and I will try to help you." Huo said again.

Although Qiao Yuan had a lot of questions in his mind, he stopped asking after hearing this.

It’s getting dark soon, so it’s important to eat quickly.

Aunt Zhou and the others had already started cooking, and soon the aroma of food wafted out.

Carpenter Ge, his grandson, and Qiao Yuan all had the best meal they had in days.

At the same time, I also feel that following Huo Ke is a very correct decision.

In the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep, Huo took Ning Yan out for a while.

While there is still water, I plan to go to the upper reaches and use water buckets to store more water, which I will need in the future.

After filling the water, they came back to continue sleeping. Now, in addition to Duan Zhili and others, General Xu would also send people to guard the night. They had more sensitive hearing than Duan Zhili and others, and could react more quickly, so there was no need to worry about safety.

After a few days, thanks to the efforts of several people, Huo's original "wobbly" car was finally transformed into a sturdy, durable and beautiful tractor, and Ge the carpenter also designed a canopy on it.

A seat is also designed next to the driver's seat, which means two people can sit in the front at the same time.

After the assembly was completed, Huo Huo immediately took Ning Yan for a ride on the grass. It felt pretty good. There was no shaking, the seat was comfortable, and even the speed was much faster than before.
