MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 29 Give me what I need

Chapter 29: Give me what I need

 Chen Xue opened the door curtain and saw a couple and a girl blocking the carriage. Seeing Chen Xue coming out, she immediately knelt down.

 “Master Chen, Miss Chen, save us!”

Chen Xue and Mr. Chen looked at each other, a little confused, as if they didn't recognize them.

After a brief inquiry, they knew what was going on. The family's surname was Yang, and he was the private doctor of the Yuan family.

The head of the Yuan family is a councilor of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his position is only one level lower than Master Chen and Zhang Yiquan. After the corruption case, all the officials under the Ministry of Household Affairs were arrested except the Shangshu.

Because Mr. Chen was protected by death by a group of officials such as the imperial censor, Zhang Yiquan was a subordinate of the Minister of Household Affairs, and he was also the one who took the initiative to expose "Mr. Chen", so he was ultimately exiled.

But except for the two of them who were relatively lucky, others were not so lucky. For example, the head of the Yuan family, who was a councilor of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was sentenced to be beheaded in public for three direct generations, and the rest of the family was exiled.

Yang Quan's family has been a doctor for generations. After being favored by the Yuan family, he was brought into the family and became the Yuan family's personal doctor. Who knew that within half a month of entering the Yuan family, something happened to the Yuan family.

 Fortunately, they were not related to the Yuan family, and they were just exiled in the end.

Although they were very wronged, there was nowhere to redress their grievances. Yang Quan and his family could only be exiled.

Who would have known that Yang Quan’s daughter Yang Xiaohua would be targeted by the government officials just after being exiled. In order to make them surrender, the government officials even cut off their food.

Yang Quan was just a doctor and had no power. He couldn't resist the government servants, even those in the exile team, but he didn't want his daughter to be ruined.

As it happens, the Chen family has been causing a lot of trouble in the past few days, and they also know that the Chen family has a background, especially when they saw Yi Cheng personally escorting the Chen family to the carriage in the morning.

So, they wanted to ask the Chen family for help.

They said they were asking for help, but in fact they planned to let their daughter work as a maid for the Chen family. In this way, the government officials might be concerned about the power of the Chen family and would not take action against their daughter.

“Please, Mr. Chen, accept my daughter. She has been smart since she was a child and has better medical skills than me…”

Yang Quan knelt on the ground. He knew that he was not related to the Chen family, and it was impossible for the Chen family to offend the government servants for them, but it would be different if his daughter became the maid of the Chen family.

Mr. Chen turned to look at his wife and daughter. He had no control over this matter. He had to discuss everything at home with his wife and daughter.

Chen Xue was silent. Accepting Yang Xiaohua would mean offending the government officials. Not only that, but accepting Yang Xiaohua, what about her parents?

 No surprise, I must accept it, so that Yang Xiaohua will be loyal.

But taking in their family means three more mouths, which is a big expense. If nothing happens to their family, it's okay and they don't care about this expense.

 But now he is in exile, without any income, and the space materials are used less and less.

This is not the point. The point is that once they open an opening, they will be in big trouble.

 Other prisoners around them see the Yang family joining them, so what should they do if they want to join them too?

If they all agree, how can they bear the expense of so many people? If they don't agree, these people will definitely be dissatisfied. Why can the Yang family join but they can't.

It's okay if they can only be dissatisfied, but it will be more troublesome if they do something in private.

Of course, there are advantages to taking in Yang Xiaohua's family. After all, their family has been doctors for generations and they have a doctor around them, so they don't have to worry if they get sick, and maybe they can save another life.

You must know that on the road to exile, you have to go through countless hardships and obstacles along the way. You also have to experience wind, sun, rain, and various harsh environments, so you can easily get sick.

In ancient times, when there were no antibiotics, even a common cold could kill someone.

If there is a doctor, then nothing will be a problem.

Especially after arriving in the Southern Barbarians, the environment was harsh and the miasma virus... If there was a doctor, the survival rate would be much higher.

 After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xue looked at her parents. She did not have the final say in this matter alone.

"If there is enough food, then accept them..." Chen's mother also considered the importance of the doctor and suggested that they accept them.

As for offending the government officials, the Chen family has long planned to win over all the government officials. As long as they don't offend too much, they can handle it.

 “Then take it!”

 Sir Chen saw that his wife and daughter had no objection, so he turned to look at the Yang Quan family. If anything happened outside, it was Mr. Chen who would take part, but the decision still needed to be made by the family of three.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..." Yang Quan was excited when he heard that the Chen family agreed.

They only have one daughter, so naturally they are not willing to let her be ruined. Although giving her to the Chen family as a maid will cause them to lose their freedom, it is still better than having sex.

So, in front of Xu Tian, ​​Zhao Guang and other prisoners, Yang Quan wrote a deed of betrayal and gave it to the Chen family.

 In ancient times, a deed of betrayal determined a person's life or death, so the servant would not betray it unless there were special circumstances.

Originally, Yang Quan planned to give his daughter to the Chen family, but the Chen family was willing to accept their family. Naturally, Yang Quan would not miss such a good opportunity, so the whole family became slaves of the Chen family.

They know very well that if there is no backer in the exile team, they may die on the way before reaching their destination.

 The oppression by the government officials was part of it, and the food shortage was also part of it.

 But after joining the Chen family, they found that they no longer had these worries.

　　At lunch, Yang Quan watched helplessly as the Chen family took out a fish to cook and swallowed involuntarily.

The exiled team were given hard steamed buns by the government officials, which were hard to bite and had no nutrition.

Especially after the government officials targeted their daughters, they withheld food from them. They are still hungry. They didn’t expect that they would be able to eat meat after joining the Chen family.

 For a time, the Yang Quan family was very happy and felt that joining the Chen family was a very wise decision.

"Your name is Yang Xiaohua?" Chen Xue looked at the little girl who was a few years younger than herself, only twelve or thirteen years old. She looked pretty good, so no wonder she was targeted by the government officials.

"yes!"

Yang Xiaohua seemed a little timid, lowering his head and not daring to look at Chen Xue.

“I heard from your father that you have good medical skills and know a lot of herbal medicines...”

"Miss Hui, I have memorized all the herbs in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Qianjin Prescription". I can recognize most of the herbs at a glance..."

"That's good." Chen Xue said with satisfaction, "Whenever you encounter any herbs on the road, you can help me point them out."

 At that time, part of the collected herbs will be planted in the space and stored, and part of them will be exchanged for contribution points.

Herbal medicines are of high value. A single weed can be exchanged for several contribution points, ranging from dozens to hundreds of contribution points.

 As for these contribution points, if they are exchanged for silver, the ratio is 1:1. In other words, one tael of silver can be exchanged for 1 point of contribution value.

 So, instead of exchanging silver for contribution points, it is better to collect surrounding resources in exchange.

 Especially herbs.

 Their exile team has to walk a long way, and the places they pass are basically sparsely populated and basically undeveloped, which means that the herbs have not been picked.

This just makes it easier for her.
