You are not exile, you are clearly traveling!

Chapter 29

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

"Master Chen, Miss Chen, save us!"

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

After a brief inquiry, they found out 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.

Lord Chen was protected by the censor and other officials, and Zhang Yiquan was a subordinate of the Minister of Household Affairs, and he took the initiative to expose "Master 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 the councilor of the Household Department, was sentenced to be beheaded in public for three generations, and the rest of the family was exiled.

The Yang Quan family has been doctors 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, so Yang Quan's family could only be exiled.

Who would have known that just after being exiled, Yang Quan's daughter Yang Xiaohua would be targeted by the government officials. 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 officials, even those in exile, but he didn't want his daughter to be ruined.

And it just so happened that the Chen family had been causing a lot of trouble these days, and they knew the Chen family's background, especially since 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 also ask Mr. Chen to 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. The Chen family could not offend the government officials for them, but it would be different if his daughter became the maid of the Chen family.

Master Chen turned to look at his wife and daughter. He had no control over this matter and 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?
If nothing else, he 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 materials in the space 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.

The other prisoners around saw the Yang family joining them, so what if they wanted 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 would be fine if they could only be dissatisfied, but it would be even more troublesome if they acted in private.

Of course, it would be beneficial to accept Yang Xiaohua's family. After all, their family has been doctors for generations, and there is a doctor by their side, so they don't have to worry about getting sick, and they might save their lives.

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

In the ancient era before antibiotics, even a common cold could kill someone.

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

Especially after arriving in Nanman, the environment is harsh and the miasma virus... If there is a doctor, the survival rate will be much higher.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xue looked at her parents. She was not the one who had the final say on this matter.

"If there is enough food, then accept them..." Mother Chen 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!"

When Mr. Chen saw that his wife and daughter had no objection, he turned to look at Yang Quan's family. If anything happened outside, Mr. Chen would be the one to intervene, 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 handed it to the Chen family.

In ancient times, a contract 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 is part of it, and the food shortage is 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.

For the exiled team, the government officials gave them hard steamed buns that were hard to bite and had no nutrition.

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

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. Do you know a lot of herbal medicine..."

"Miss Hui, I have memorized all the herbs in "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, "You can help me point out any herbs I encounter on the road."

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

The value of herbal medicines is very high. A single weed can be exchanged for several contribution points, ranging from dozens to hundreds of contribution points.

If these contribution points 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.

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

Especially herbs.

Their exile team had to walk a long way, and the places they passed were mostly sparsely populated and largely undeveloped, which meant that the herbs had not been picked.

This just happened to be cheap for her.
