Mr. Zhuang placed the book basket containing his and Bai Ershu's books to one side, and dragged over the two large book baskets filled to the brim by Manbao and the others.
He first set aside the paper books, then picked up the bamboo slips and asked, "Which one is the 'Commentary on the Water Classic'?"
Manbao immediately stepped forward with Bai Shanbao to help look through the slips. Although the bamboo slips looked similar from the outside, actually, each volume had a different number of slips, so they varied in thickness. Those with keener senses could also feel the differences.
Mainly, since they were the ones who had found these slips, the two had a recollection of them.
They opened the slips and could distinguish whether they were the 'Commentary on the Water Classic' just by glancing at the first entry, then handed it to Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang took the bamboo slips and sat down under the lamp to study them closely.
