Earthquake in Dongqing (XX)

Jiang Pengji wisely placed 50 tons of rations in this 'warehouse', it was impossible for Xu Ke and his 30 men alone to transport all of them back at one go.

He decided to retrieve one portion of the ration which occupied half the surface area of the transport carriage, the other half was filled with medicinal herbs from the medical storeroom and other items as tasked by Jiang Pengji. Xu Ke poked those weird looking sacks but based on his observations he still could not determine what was inside of them.

Then again based on their texture alone, he supposed they probably contained some powder-like substance.

"For example, lime..." A servant whispered from a corner, "Unfortunately, this sack is rarely seen."

Expectedly, the servant has never seen such a sack, after all this was a manufactured paper bag.
