Chapter 383

Jiang Pengji put Qianshi grain in this "grain depot", and the 30 people brought by Xu Ke alone could not be transported back at one time.

He simply took part of the grain first, accounting for half of the area of the cart, and the other half of the herbs in the medicine warehouse and the items specially explained by Jiang Pengji. Xu Ke poked the big bags of strange things. With his insight, he couldn't see what the material was for a moment.

However, according to the feel just now, those big bags should contain powdery substances.

"Like lime..." a servant whispered aside, "but this kind of bag has never been seen."

Naturally, the servant has never seen such a bag, because it is an industrial paper bag. Considering that cremation will be blocked, Jiang Pengji can only use earth burial to deal with the corpse. In that case, she must be prepared to prevent land pollution and carefully consider the place where the corpse is buried.

After going through the humble mall, there were few things that could be used for disinfection. She had no choice but to exchange a few bags of lime for emergency.

According to her understanding, lime already exists in this era. Every household occasionally uses it to prevent moisture and mosquitoes. It is also used to sprinkle a layer on the bottom of the tomb when building a tomb... The only exception is the industrial paper bag containing lime.

However, it's not difficult to solve this problem. Anyway, the paper workshop in Liufu has mature paper-making technology.

The paper industry is Liu's authority, and she has the final say.

More importantly, Xu Ke will not entangle in such things.

Lime?

Xu Ke frowned, but he didn't doubt anything.

For the sake of safety, the party felt dark and pushed the car back along the original road. Now the damage caused by the earthquake has just begun. The imperial court has not taken any rescue action so far. The survival of the surviving people is worrying. In this case, it is not surprising that they turn into mobs, burning, killing and looting.

However, they had the intention to avoid, but their luck was too bad. There were clumps of fire flickering in the distance, which looked very frightening in the dark.

"Ghost fire -- that's a ghost --"

"Ghost shadow?"

At first sight, many people thought those fire and dark shadows were ghosts. They suddenly screamed, and panic spread among the crowd.

Seeing this, Xu Ke's face sank and yelled in a low voice, "shut up! See clearly that they are all human beings, not ghosts!"

The serious voice was oppressive, and the servants were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Xu Ke's voice slowed down and repeated, "Zi Bu Yu, strange forces and gods, don't be afraid, they are all human."

The big guy was so nervous that his throat rolled and couldn't stop swallowing.

The temperature tonight was already hot and dry. Now I'm nervous again. Soon my forehead is sweating and my palms are hot and humid.

Xu Ke calmly lowered his voice, "don't make a sound, all squat down to avoid..."

The fire in the distance was drawing close to them, and the original bean fire was slowly expanding.

Looking at the direction these people are going, they are also ready to enter the city.

The city wall of Shangjing looks towering and thick. However, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, it is far more fragile than its appearance. The Earth Dragon turned over, the city wall collapsed and damaged a lot, and the soldiers guarding the gate will also disappear. The towering huge city gate was broken into several pieces and looked shaky.

In order to survive, some surviving people simply packed up their belongings and stole out of the city from the city gate.

Now at this time, it's too late for the people to run for their lives. Where will they take the initiative to enter the city?

Xu Ke frowned and wondered whether the group was a disaster relief team sent by the imperial court.

If so, the people in the capital will have hope.

After half a column of incense, Xu Ke dispelled the speculation in his mind.

That group of "ghosts" had a large number. The night was too dark, and Xu Ke couldn't judge the specific number.

Listening carefully, their steps were heavy and steady. There was no conversation between the teams, only the sound of footsteps and the dull movement of wheels rolling.

Xu Ke had already asked people to push more than ten carts to the shade. They were careful to lie in the backlight. Now the moon is dim and will not be found by the other party under normal circumstances. However, his strong psychological quality does not mean that his teammates also have a steel forged heart.

It is said that human beings are naturally afraid of the unknown.

When they encounter phenomena that they cannot explain, they often like to push these phenomena onto ghosts and gods, and their brain holes are huge.

The group walked along the path from a distance, and the two sides were very close. Seeing this, Xu Ke's face was very heavy, and the people were more nervous than ever. There was a servant and even two wars. A loose belly, a warm smell came out.

Xu Ke glanced at him and didn't say anything. However, people are not as good as heaven. Pig teammates still dropped the chain for him.

Just as the strange team was about to reach half way, the servant behind the team suddenly jumped up with a ferocious face, cried for help in pain in his mouth, waved his right arm constantly, and vaguely saw a long strip of things tossing in the air. When he looked at it, it was actually a snake.

"Snake - there's a snake -"

The man's call startled the others, and the team immediately became chaotic. Many servants hiding on the ground also jumped up and moved quickly away from the person bitten by the snake. At this time, it also startled the team of unknown origin.

"Who's there -"

Xu Ke's heart sank and clenched his teeth secretly. What bad luck is this!

The last thing he wanted to see happened. The unknown team surrounded them with guns.

The burning tongue licked constantly and burst from time to time. Xu Ke's neck was against others' sharp blade, and his life could not help himself.

He took a deep breath in the dark, pressed down those thoughts, his back was straight, and his blood stained black jujube Confucian shirt set off his arrogance.

"These people are sneaky and suspicious. They're all caught -"

I don't know who said that the gang of gunmen wanted to come forward and take people.

"Slow!" In the confrontation between the two sides, Xu Ke was not afraid of threats, raised his hand to stop, and spoke calmly, "The Earth Dragon turned over, causing devastation in the capital. There are ten survivors. I was ordered to transport food and medicine, which is related to the lives of many people. I hope you can accommodate me for a moment. I saw your whereabouts before and avoided it in case of misunderstanding. If you still don't believe it, I'm willing to go with you. But there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the forest. A food cook was accidentally killed by snakes Bite, I wonder if you can save one or two? "

This group of people also looked at each other and didn't know what to do with them.

They were tired and relaxed at night. They didn't find a group of people "ambushing" at such a close distance.

If these people are malicious, they will be caught off guard.

The Confucianist looked like a leader in front of him. Facing more than ten sharp gun heads without changing color, he was not frightened by them, but plausibly hoped that they would save people, which was strange.
