Because Liu Bei heard from Li Mengxi that there was an old man who had no shoes on his feet, Liu Bei thought that the rebel army was not recruiting enough, so he had to drag Li Mengxi to find the old man.

In desperation, Li Mengxi had to go to the carpentry camp to call the carpenters first, and then went to the baggage camp to point out all the firewood carts to the carpenters and ask them to unload all the wood and take whatever they saw.

Then, he and Liu Bei went to find the old man.

The peasants have scattered everywhere, and it is not easy to find an old man who has only met once among the thousands of people.

I can only find it slowly.

However, it was precisely because of this trip that Li Mengxi became familiar with a job - collection.

The reason why he asked the peasants to disperse was to let them pull out some straw shoes.

Li Mengxi's understanding of life knowledge can only support him to think up to this point.

However, after the peasants dispersed, they were no longer limited to pulling weeds.

Along the way, Li Mengxi saw that some people were arguing over wild vegetables, some were picking dandelion roots, and some were gathering grass.

Some people even picked a handful of foxtail grass, rubbed the seeds into a small handful, and stuffed them into their mouths to eat.

A little further away, I suddenly saw a group of villagers chasing them out of the woods, cheering and howling like crazy. I saw two gray rabbits running in front of them.

As the rabbit ran, it split into two directions.

The peasants who saw this scene were all excited. They left their other jobs and went chasing rabbits.

I don’t know how many people lost their running shoes.

Liu Bei and Li Mengxi looked at this scene and laughed in unison.

There were too many people and they were scattered everywhere. Wherever the rabbit ran, people were blocking it.

After a while, the rabbit was chased to death.

There were so many people that I couldn't see clearly, and I didn't know whether someone picked up a piece of trash and threw the rabbit to death, or whether it was kicked to death by someone.

If you catch a rabbit, disputes are inevitable, and you may even get into a fight.

But there were rangers watching on horseback, and the peasants were very honest.

A rule passed down from ancient times, a rule that dates back to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. When catching a rabbit in the wild, whoever catches it first gets it.

The person who grabbed the rabbit looked very happy and could eat meat at night.

Those who didn't grab it looked regretful and dispersed, then went around looking for wild vegetables, dandelion roots and the like.

Visible to the naked eye, all the people were rushing toward the woods.

There can be rabbits, maybe there are rabbits inside.

Li Mengxi paid attention to one thing. He was watching silently to see how good Liu Bei's soldiers were. When the civilians caught the rabbit, they wanted to see if the rangers would seize it.

Sure enough, Li Mengxi saw that Youqi was urging his horse to get closer to the farmer who had caught the rabbit, and he was going to snatch the rabbit.

The ranger took the rabbit from the farmer and started robbing it.

(Okay! Seeking death!) Li Mengxi sneered.

He tugged on Liu Bei's sleeve.

At this time, Li Mengxi saw again that the cavalryman in the distance picked up the rabbit and looked at it again and again. His mouth seemed to be moving, as if he was praising how fat the rabbit was. Then, the cavalryman returned the rabbit again.

Liu Bei turned around and looked, "What's the matter?" Liu Bei asked.

"Oh," Li Mengxi was a little embarrassed, but his face was expressionless, "let's go to the woods and have a look."

Li Mengxi pointed to the woods in the distance and said.

"Let's go." Liu Bei also made a move.

A farmer wants to catch a rabbit to eat meat at night. Doesn’t Liu Xuande want to catch a hare to drink with him at night?

After a while, the two came to the wild forest.

Along the way, many people took the initiative to say hello to Li Mengxi and Liu Bei.

The woods are indeed a higher-level ecosystem with luxuriant grass and trees, and the natural resources in the woods are richer than in the wasteland.

Li Mengxi remembered the knowledge he learned in junior high school, natural systems and biodiversity, and the complexity of terrestrial natural systems in order from high to low, namely, tropical rainforest - woods - grassland - land - desert.

This is roughly the case. Different ecosystems and biological resources are also different.

To put it simply, tropical rainforests are the richest in biological resources. So, in one square meter of area, you can collect enough berries, mushrooms, fruits on trees, eggs in bird nests, snakes and frogs under the trees.

, there are also other small animals, and there is plenty of food.

On land, there are at most a few wild vegetables in a square meter area.

In the desert, there are even fewer plants. There are fewer plants as producers and even fewer animals that feed on the plants.

Now, this bit of natural knowledge has found its correspondence.

There are not as many resources in the wasteland as in the forest system. A rabbit just ran out of the woods, which is proof.

Rabbits cannot survive in the wasteland, but in the woods, not only rabbits can survive, but also wild boars and even tigers.

As far as I can see in the woods, people are everywhere.

There were so many people that even one sweep would leave nothing in the woods.

Li Mengxi saw some people climbing up the tree and breaking dry branches from the tree. Others saw bird's nests on the tree and climbed up to dig out the bird's nests.

But in the bird's nest, there were no little birds chirping, and no old birds hovering nearby. It was probably an empty bird's nest.

Liu Bei also wanted to poke the stick here and there and look for rabbits, but there were people all around him, so he couldn't fight with the civilians.

Liu Bei had no choice but to endure and make no move.

Wandering in the woods for half a day.

Liu Bei didn't accomplish anything and was very unhappy.

A farmer picked a handful of small black berries, like wolfberry fruits, and brought them to Li Mengxi to eat.

Li Mengxi thanked the honest man with a silly smile. He looked at the berries in his hand. They looked like black wolfberries, but he was not sure.

What if it is not a wolfberry? What if the people picked the poisonous fruit without knowing it?

So, Li Mengxi picked up three or five small berries with his fingers and handed them to Liu Bei.

“Mr.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily.

Liu Bei picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Wolfberry." The taste of wild wolfberry is slightly sour, Liu Bei frowned slightly and said.

Sure enough, it was a wolfberry. Li Mengxi also took one, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. Damn it, it was so sour, with only a slightly sweet taste.

If you don't eat the rest, it will taste better if you keep it for two days.

Take it back and feed it to your brother, Xiao Bian will definitely be very happy.

It's not just the civilians who have trouble today. The carpenters' camp has to start looking for people to make pallet trucks.

Li Mengxi felt bored after watching in the woods for a while, so he and Liu Bei said goodbye and left.

When Li Mengxi returned to the craftsman's camp, there were a lot of wood piled in the craftsman's camp.

When Li Mengxi came, Lu Li, the adjutant of the carpenter's camp, was talking to someone, while the other carpenters were chatting idlely.

Seeing this scene, Li Mengxi couldn't help but frowned.

Really, you just have to wait for the job to be dispatched and the job to start before you start the job.

This doesn't work, the motivation is too low, and something needs to be changed.

With this thought in mind, Li Mengxi came to the carpenters.

"Lu Li." Li Mengxi called.

The carpenter brother Lu Li heard someone shouting and turned around.

"Lu Li, let's start working."

As he said that, he glanced at the carpenters. He thought for a while and added, "If you make a good car, you will be rewarded... Anyway, I won't lose you."
