September 20th.

The third day since the Scout Liaison Act was coordinated.

As the army moved forward, they finally saw a mound of dirt on the side of the road.

"Let's go and have a look." Li Mengxi said happily.

The caravan and Li Mengxi came to the intersection and saw a mound of dirt that looked like it had been kicked. The mound was half-collapsed. A few steps away from the mound, on the other side of the intersection, you could see a pile of dirt left on the ground.

An obvious hole was left when the flag was planted in the ground.

At this time, the flag disappeared, which shows that the triple insurance method of cloth strips, branches, and mounds of soil is still useful.

The flag was taken away by a passing villager, and the pile of dirt was kicked by a child, but the pile of dirt was still successfully left at the intersection.

Next to the mound, on the dirt ground, the map carved with knife marks remained there.

The map is a long line, and the long line is about the same length as a ruler, thirty or twenty centimeters.

Looking from bottom to top, there was a long line on the left. Li Mengxi raised his head and looked further along the road. He saw that there was an intersection to the left not far ahead.

Oh, turn left at the first intersection.

Look down at the map again. On the map, going up, there are six short lines on the left and four short lines on the right. This means that after turning left, continue walking. Counting, you will pass four intersections on the right and six intersections on the left. No need.

Turn.

Then, there is another long line on the right, which turns right again.

Then there are many short lines...

Li Mengxi counted more than 40 long and short line segments drawn in this straight line.

In other words, such a small line marks a long distance of more than 40 intersections.

Ask, does Yuqi understand?

The captain of the Ranger Caravan said I understand.

Let the caravan captain repeat it again. The caravan captain looked at the picture and found that the road conditions were correct. Where to turn and at which intersection he turned was exactly right.

"Take a pen and draw it." Li Mengxi suggested, "I can't remember these intersections anyway."

The captain of the traveling caravan is in a dilemma and has no pen and ink.

If you don’t have pen and ink, you can do it without pen and ink.

Give the traveling caravan a few pieces of cloth, a few pieces of charcoal, and make a few impressions to easily copy his map.

Three nights ago, we had just discussed the contact method with the scout general Ma Archer Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei then taught the contact method to all the scouts. After the scouts encountered the villages, they carefully selected the villages within ten miles.

information, leave a mark.

It was not until three days later that the Ranger Caravan received this delayed intelligence support.

From this day on, the purchasing efficiency of the Ranger Caravan began to explode.

Starting from the mark left by the first scout, with the intelligence support of dozens of mounted scouts, and the pointing of too many villages that were too late to choose, the traveling caravan no longer had to spend time looking for it on its own, and the traveling caravan became a transportation team.

, all I did was go directly to the target village based on what I knew on the map, and buy the supplies with money.

On this day, the tourists came and went very frequently, coming back and forth again and again.

The army traveled more than forty miles that day, and the two caravans were divided into two groups: the left group purchased sixteen times, and the right group purchased twenty times.

On this day, I bought twelve carts of varying quality.

Hard wood, axes, saws, hoes, shovels, etc., ranging from dozens to hundreds.

There are more than twenty chickens and ducks, one sheep, and one half-grown pig.

Wheat straw can be purchased for a cartload.

Wheat straw does not account for the weight. Usually, after buying the important things first, the wheat straw is bought last.

Often, because the traveling caravan spends a lot of money, the villagers get huge profits. Therefore, in the end, the traveling caravan wants to buy wheat straw, and the villagers don't need to pay for it, and the wheat straw is given away for free.

The most unexpected harvest today was undoubtedly the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree.

Li Mengxi finally bought the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree that he had longed for.

The Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree was bought with soil in it.

Li Mengxi looked at the familiar small tree with needles on the leaves and small pepper seeds growing under the leaves. He was very happy. He immediately went to find a broken wooden barrel, carried a shovel, and followed the collectors who went out to collect soil.

Preparing to plant peppercorns.

The shovel was very long. When Li Mengxi clumsily dug the soil with a pry, the peasant couldn't stand it anymore. An old man took the shovel and Kuang Kuang dug a bucket of soil.

When it became clear that Li Mengxi wanted to grow peppercorns, the uncle said, "It won't work. You have to loosen the soil to plant things, and hard eggs won't work."

The loose soil the old man refers to refers to loose soil, while the hard soil refers to hard clods of soil.

Li Mengxi understood this.

Probably, the soil is soft, which is conducive to plant root breathing.

The old man also said that it is okay to use a bucket to plant things. When planting, you must first fill the bucket with half a bucket of soil, then put the pepper in it, and then put half a bucket of soil.

Li Mengxi thought about it and realized what the old man said made sense.

This is to allow the pepper rhizomes to be better surrounded by soil.

If you put the peppercorns directly in the barrel, you can imagine that there is no soil under the roots of the peppercorns.

And if the Zanthoxylum bungeanum is located in the center of the soil, there will be soil above, below, left and right, which is self-evident for root growth.

After the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree was planted, Li Mengxi took his younger brother to get water and poured some water.

Now that there are Sichuan peppercorns, the fish soup will finally taste delicious.

Li Mengxi picked two handfuls of fresh pepper leaves and seeds and took them to the cook to put them on when cooking fish tonight.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves are a bit interesting because they have thorns.

The little bricks were leaf by leaf, and it was a great pleasure to pull out the thorns.

After turning around, we arrived at the wounded barracks.

Tian Bu, a military doctor who was busy boiling bandages in boiling water, saw the two brothers Li Mengxi and said, "Here they come." Tian Bu said hello with a smile.

"Look, I have this thorn." Xiao Zhuan showed off the pepper leaves to Tian Bu as if offering a treasure.

The brain circuit of a child is always difficult to understand.

Tian Bu looked at it and smiled.

"Isn't this a double-faced leaf? Where did the military advisor find it? Is there any more? Give me some." Tian Bu said.

Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment and looked very surprised, "Is this a two-faced acupuncture? Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves are a two-faced acupuncture?"

Li Mengxi is very familiar with Liangmianzhen, because there is always a Liangmianzhen toothpaste in the advertisement, which is broadcast over and over again.

"Yes, Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves are called double-sided needles. You see, Military Advisor, Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves have a thorn on one side, so they are called double-sided needles."

Well, as soon as Tian Bu, a Chinese medicine doctor, explained it, Li Mengxi immediately understood it. No wonder he had heard old people say that using Zanthoxylum bungeanum to make a teeth grinder is good for children to grind their teeth. It also has two-sided needles and is a toothpaste composed of Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves.

Feelings, the components of Sichuan peppercorns are good for teeth.

Li Mengxi asked, "Tian Bu, can these Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves cure dental disease?"

Tian Bu smiled and nodded, "That's true. Chewing two pepper leaves will make your toothache better."

Tian Bu wanted the Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves just now, just to use them as medicinal materials.

In the past two days, someone had a severe toothache. Tian Bu was suffering from no medicine, so he was ready to tell the military adviser to look for peppercorns, but the military adviser had already brought the peppercorns.

Li Mengxi didn't know that Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves are two-faced needles, and he didn't know that Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves were medicinal materials. He made a mistake.

Li Mengxi is looking forward to tonight's fish soup.

He took the bowl early and waited. When the meal started, Li Mengxi filled a large bowl of fish soup and added a fish head.

The soup was very hot, so he took a small sip. Sure enough, the pepper leaves removed the fishy smell and enhanced the freshness, making the fish soup much more delicious.

Soak the hard pancakes in fish soup and make your stomach full.

This was the happiest meal Li Mengxi had recently.

"Brother, don't we have Daner Daner?" Xiao Zhuan asked.

Li Mengxi suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to collect the eggs.

Hurrying to the chicken and duck cart, Li Mengxi held a torch and collected eggs from cage to cage.

I received seven chicken and duck eggs.

A lot has been gained.

There were too few eggs and duck eggs, and there was not enough to divide them out. My brother and I gave each of us one egg every morning to supplement some nutrition.

The rest is not enough to give to anyone.

There are only a few eggs, and even if you make egg tea, a child can't drink even one egg flower.
