Li Mengxi's eyes were searching here and there, as if he was looking for something but couldn't find it.

Seeing this, Guan Yu smiled and asked, "Xi'er, what else are you missing?"

"If you need water, mix the yellow mud into a paste." Li Mengxi said.

After hearing what Li Mengxi said about Niba, Guan Yu felt that Li Mengxi just wanted to play.

Guan Yu wanted to laugh a little. No matter how clever he was, he was still a baby and his childlike innocence remained.

Guan Yu then stood up and took the trouble to find a water bag for Li Mengxi.

After bringing the water bag, Li Mengxi looked at Guan Yu and wanted to speak, but was embarrassed because he had troubled Guan Yu so much.

Guan Yu saw that Li Mengxi was about to speak but hesitated, so he knew that Li Mengxi still lacked something.

"Xi'er, what else do you need, just tell me."

Since Guan Yu said this, Li Mengxi said it directly.

"There is still a shortage of copper coins, arrowheads, armor pieces and other copper and iron items." Li Mengxi answered.

I don't know what Li Mengxi was doing, asking for so many weird things. Guan Yu had nothing to do anyway, so he took off a small money bag from his waist and threw it to Li Mengxi. There was no idea how much money was in it.

Li Mengxi said that he needed copper coins, arrowheads, armor pieces and other items, but he did not explain clearly that one of these three items would be enough.

But Guan Yu thought that he wanted all three, and he only had copper coins in his hand, but no armor or arrows.

Armor pieces are easy to find, so Guan Yu wanted to take off a few of them on his armor, but he couldn't bear to do so.

I had no choice but to go to the baggage train and look at the captured broken armor and armor, and randomly find any to dismantle some.

As for arrows, they are easier to find.

Guan Yu then left the tent.

When Li Mengxi saw Guan Yu leaving a bag of money and leaving, he thought Guan Yu was out for something, so he didn't ask.

Here, Li Mengxi used water to stir the mud, stirred the loess into yellow mud, and then looked for bamboo poles.

When Li Mengxi picked up the bamboo gun that Guan Yu had brought, he saw that it was indeed a hollow bamboo. It seemed that there were cracks in several bamboo sections at the end, but the gun body was intact.

After scratching his head, Li Mengxi thought that the drainage tube does not need to be too long, thirty or forty centimeters is enough.

The bamboo spear has to be cut down.

While Li Mengxi was clumsily drawing out the knife and using it as hard as a saw to cut the gun shaft, his younger brother Xiao Zhuan had finished acupuncture and wanted to play with his brother. Liu Bei took a look and saw that Li Mengxi was busy, so he whispered to Xiao Zhuan to wait.

I'll drink the medicine later and play with my brother again.

In just a short while, some of the cavalrymen who dispersed came back with a doctor.

Naturally, Liu Xuande would not lose his courtesy to anyone, so he came over with Xiaozhuan in his arms to greet the newly arrived doctor, and exchanged greetings for a while, making the doctor who came overnight feel at home. He was worried that the military master would not be able to talk to him on the way.

After meeting Liu Xuande, my anxiety disappeared.

The tent was bustling.

There are three doctors alone.

Li Mengxi still saws bamboo.

This mother's bamboo is not ordinary bamboo. It seems to have been soaked in tung oil. It is brown in color and extremely tough. The knife has no teeth. I put it on and saw it for a long time, but it just couldn't work hard. Li Mengxi was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

Guan Yu dismantled half of the armor and had to pierce about twenty armor pieces. He also took a pot of arrows and pulled out ten arrowheads.

Then, Guan Yu returned to the tent with jingling scraps of copper and iron.

Meng Xi, who was lowering his head to saw the gun shaft, felt the fire above his head suddenly dim. He looked up and saw Guan Yu shouting and throwing a bunch of things on the table.

Li Mengxi was surprised.

Nail plate arrows, a bunch.

This is definitely enough. If it is put into an empty jar, it can be filled half full.

When Guan Yu came back, Li Mengxi no longer wanted to saw bamboo.

"General Guan, this bamboo is constantly sawing, can you help me cut it?" Li Mengxi had no choice but to ask Guan Yu for help.

Guan Yu was very powerful, so he took the short knife from Li Mengxi's hand, picked up the bamboo spear, took a look, and then swung the knife with a click! Li Mengxi only saw a flash of cold light, and could not see the shadow of the knife clearly. A piece of the bamboo spear was

Just like cutting down sugar cane, Guan Yu cut off a long section of it.

The bamboo joint rolled to the ground. Li Mengxi picked it up and looked at it. He saw that the knife edge was as smooth as a mirror, with only slight burrs and no splits at all.

This speed and strength are really scary.

Li Mengxi was surprised.

Guan Yu chopped down the two bamboo joints in two clicks.

When the bamboo joints were ready, Li Mengxi first brought the two bamboo joints close to each other at 90 degrees, then wrapped the joints of the two bamboo joints with linen cloth, and then asked Guan Yu to help, holding the bamboo joints still, while Li Mengxi took the yellow bamboo joints.

After the mud paste is connected, apply a layer lightly and apply the paste carefully so that no gaps remain.

Then, when the diversion tube was ready, Li Mengxi carefully took it from Guan Yu's hand, inserted one end into the wine jar, and asked Guan Yu to help take the diversion tube again. Li Mengxi used yellow mud again and put it on the wine jar.

Paste it up so that the wine jar can be sealed.

After a while, the wine jar was sealed, and Li Mengxi took the empty wine jar aside and filled half the jar with coins, armor pieces, arrows, etc.

After the preparations were completed, Li Mengxi pointed and explained to Guan Yu, "Sign up a fire under this altar to heat the wine. When the wine is heated, the wine vapor rises and flows from the bamboo tube to the empty altar.

When the smell of wine meets the copper and iron in the empty altar, it turns into wine again.

This is the method of steaming strong liquor.”

Guan Yu listened with half understanding.

"Doesn't it still require fire?" Guan Yu asked.

"Yeah!" Li Mengxi nodded, "We still need a bonfire."

Of course, Guan Yu still has to deal with the bonfire.

Guan Yu went out of his tent again.

Because of Li Mengxi's matter, Guan Yu was very busy going in and out tonight.

After a while, Guan Yu came in holding two burning logs in one hand and put the logs on a pile. Then, Guan Yu went out and got the logs three more times. There were as many as a dozen logs, which were piled together and the fire was burning brightly.

Finally, Guan Yu brought a simple stand made of three wooden sticks. Li Mengxi was familiar with this stand. The village warriors used this simple stand made of wooden sticks to hang the earthen jars with ropes. The earthen jars were suspended over the fire.

Use this to start fire for cooking.

Guan Yu helped Li Mengxi tie the wine jar with a rope, but in the process, he had to pull out the drainage tube.

After the wine jar was hung over the fire and placed, Li Mengxi quickly reinstalled the distillation device and sealed it with yellow mud.

The conditions are very crude.

The wet yellow mud is sealed and cannot be moved. If you move it a little, the mud seal will be opened.

Moreover, the joints of the bamboo tubes were sealed with mud and could not be moved. As a last resort, Li Mengxi and Guan Yu held on to the diversion tubes together.

Li Mengxi felt that this was too inconvenient.

If you have time, you must find useful distillation equipment. Distillation equipment is not very complicated.

It can also be made of cast iron or clay.

It's better than making it with yellow mud bamboo like now.

Although Guan Yu didn't know what Li Mengxi was doing, he saw Li Mengxi's face was serious and his brows were furrowed. Guan Yu knew that Li Mengxi was very concerned about this matter, so he kindly helped him steam wine.

At this time, time became longer.

The wood in the fire made crackling sounds from time to time as it burned.

At this time, while Li Mengxi was holding on to the diversion bamboo tube and keeping still, his thoughts were no longer here.
Chapter completed!
