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

Chapter 227 Speechless

Huo drove to the agreed location, but didn't see Suifeng, so he drove directly to the blacksmith shop.

When I arrived at the place, I saw that the shop was surrounded by people, who were noisily talking about something.

He parked the car nearby and gave General Xu a look, indicating that he should go inside to see what was going on.

After receiving the signal, General Xu dismounted and squeezed into the crowd, then saw Suifeng talking to a strong man inside.

After entering, he heard Suifeng say, "I'm only taking your family of three with me. The rest of the people are not under my care. I'll give you a cup of tea to think about it. If it doesn't work, let's forget it."

The tall and strong-looking man opposite, after hearing Suifeng's words, looked at the older woman on his left with an embarrassed look on his face.

Seeing this, General Xu stepped forward, approached Suifeng, and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing that it was General Xu coming, Suifeng briefly explained the situation.

When Suifeng came over, the blacksmith in front of him was the only one in the blacksmith shop. He chatted with him for a while, observed his blacksmithing skills, and roughly learned about his family situation. Then he told him what happened, which was roughly the same as what General Xu said to Carpenter Ge.

But the blacksmith is a family of three, him, his wife, and his brother.

After hearing Suifeng's words, the blacksmith said that his home was not far from here and he would go back to discuss it with his wife.

Suifeng naturally agreed when he heard this.

Then the blacksmith came home and he waited in the shop.

Who would have thought that when this person came back, he was followed by a large group of people, estimated to be 2 or 30 people, and it seemed like all his relatives were there.

After they arrived, the woman who claimed to be the blacksmith's wife, the one the blacksmith had just looked at, asked Suifeng for food as soon as she opened her mouth. She also said that they had not had a full meal for a long time and that they had to finish this meal before they could follow Suifeng.

Suifeng was speechless upon seeing this. "So what if you're the blacksmith's mother? You're not my mother. I hired the blacksmith, not his aunts and uncles. Do I have to serve you food and drink? Don't take yourself too seriously."

So Suifeng made a few sarcastic remarks to the blacksmith's wife.

Who would have thought that the blacksmith's wife really thought she was a big shot. When she saw Suifeng disagreed, she started to make a fuss, saying that if he didn't agree to take them with him, she would not let her son leave with him.

Suifeng didn't know how the blacksmith spread the word, how it became that inviting him had to involve all his aunts and uncles in the family. Who wouldn't be so stupid as to do such a losing business?

With this kind of character, if we really bring him back home, who knows how he will boss people around.

Suifeng was too lazy to waste time talking to them, so he just said those words directly, which were the same words that General Xu heard when he came in.

The blacksmith originally planned to follow Suifeng, but after he went home to discuss with his wife, he was accidentally caught by his mother while packing up.

The blacksmith's family was quite well-off because they had a blacksmith shop and they had a medium-sized two-story house in Xiyuan City.

However, the blacksmith was somewhat dull in character and was disliked by his mother since childhood. Although he was a good blacksmith, he was exploited by his parents on a daily basis.

The blacksmith was separated after he got married, and he and his wife lived in a small courtyard separated from each other. However, although they lived separately, they did not separate their family.

Normally his mother would never come to their yard, but he never expected that today, by chance, she would run into him.

When his mother saw this, she started to ask him where he was going. He couldn't hold back and told her what happened.

When his mother heard about this, she insisted on coming along and called all the relatives over. She naturally thought that since the blacksmith was on the list of major grain producers, he should help his family more.

And Suifeng, who asked the blacksmith to work, should also give some food to the blacksmith's mother, elder brother, uncles and aunts. Who asked the blacksmith to help Suifeng with the work?

She thought that when Suifeng came to hire someone, it had to be a blacksmith, and he urgently needed the blacksmith to help him, so he asked for such a high price.

But Suifeng had seen all sorts of ghosts and gods before. He saw through her thoughts at a glance and didn't bother to pay any attention to her.

The blacksmith was told by his mother that the emperor had come to Xiyuan City. If the blacksmith dared to abandon his parents and run away with someone else, she would go to the government to sue him for being unfilial and make him and his children unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

In ancient times, being unfilial was a serious crime, and it was because of this sentence that the blacksmith hesitated and did not make a decision.

After waiting for a while, Suifeng saw that the blacksmith was hesitant and could not make a decision, and the woman next to him was yelling with a smug look on her face. He was too lazy to look at these people, nor did he plan to wait for the blacksmith's reply. With such a cowardly character, it would be a trouble to bring him back.

So he turned around and said to General Xu, "Let's go."

Donglin Country is so big, and there are more than one blacksmiths. Why should he waste time on this person? He can just find another one.

The blacksmith's wife was stunned when she saw Suifeng had just left. She had been smiling smugly, but she was completely stunned. Why did he leave? The food hadn't been given to him yet.

So she quickly ran two steps, stretched out her hand to grab Suifeng's sleeve, and said, "Hey, you can't leave. I haven't given you the food yet. After I give you the food, I will let my son work for you."

Before she could reach Suifeng's sleeve, she flew out, hit a shelf in the shop, and fell directly to the ground. She covered her waist and screamed in pain.

Suifeng shook off the non-existent dirt on his sleeves, then looked around at the people present, and finally fixed his attention on the blacksmith, and said in a cold voice:

"My senior brother is willing to hire you because he thinks highly of you. You really think you are a piece of cake and can do whatever you want to him? You really don't know how to live or die."

Perhaps shocked by his expression and skills, the scene suddenly became eerily quiet. Those blacksmith relatives who originally wanted to stop Suifeng did not dare to step forward to stop him after seeing this.

The blacksmith stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Afterwards, Suifeng, General Xu and the other two people who came with them went out directly.

There was a crowd of people outside watching the fun, and they automatically made way when they saw people coming out.

However, there was a short-sighted person who blocked Suifeng's way.

The man was wearing a gray robe and carrying a bag on his shoulders. He was not tall, about 175 cm, but he looked very strong, and his bulging muscles could be seen through his clothes.

Seeing Suifeng looking at him, the man immediately smiled and said, "Brother, are you looking for a blacksmith? I can also forge iron. What do you want to forge? I can help you."

This man also has a baby face, but his baby face is much rounder than Suifeng's.

Why is it rounder than Suifeng? Because he has more flesh on his face.

When he smiles, his eyes become slits, and he doesn't look like a blacksmith at all.
