You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!

Chapter 37 Cutting leeks

Seeing that Qian Yamen refused to let him touch the medicinal materials, Chen Xue was not angry, but asked instead.

“Then you know how to identify the quality of medicinal materials, how to judge the value of medicinal materials, how to judge whether medicinal materials are mixed up, and how to preserve medicinal materials to prevent the loss of medicinal power?”

Questions came one after another, making Yamen Qian's face look very ugly. He couldn't answer any of them.

 There is no need, he can only ask his men to tell the captain and let the captain decide.

Captain Sun also looked confused after hearing this. He couldn't answer these questions, so he waved his hand.

“Let her look at it, she can’t take it away anyway.”

 Looking at the medicinal materials, there is no shortage of medicines, and it is impossible for them to take the medicinal materials away. On the contrary, it would be better if they could solve the problems just mentioned.

The captain spoke, and Yamen Qian naturally couldn't refuse, so he asked Chen Xue to get on the carriage. The medicinal materials they collected were put into boxes and stuffed into the carriage.

To preserve medicinal materials, special boxes are required, but they do not have enough boxes to store medicinal materials, so they can only stuff the medicinal materials together.

After Chen Xue got on the carriage, she opened the box. Although Yamen Qian did not get on the carriage, his eyes looked at Chen Xue from time to time, for fear that she would hide the medicinal materials.

 But for Chen Xue, as long as he touches the medicinal materials, he can take them into the space, and Qian Yamen cannot find them at all.

 Opening the box and looking at the stuffed medicinal materials, Chen Xue suppressed the excitement in her heart. If she wasn't afraid of being exposed, she would have just taken all the medicinal materials away.

However, thinking that the time would be very long and the water would flow slowly, she gave up and only picked some medicinal materials that had not been collected in the system.

“Prunella vulgaris, 100 contribution points.”

“Yueyaohua, 120 contribution points.”

  “Sang Ju, 135 contribution points.”

 …

 One box increased Chen Xue's contribution points by about a thousand, which is equivalent to being able to exchange for 100 boxes of instant noodles.

Seeing Chen Xue rummaging through the box and not hiding any medicinal materials, Yamen Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not relax his vigilance.

 Chen Xue closed the box, opened other boxes, and selected some medicinal materials that were not included in the system, allowing her to earn 500 contribution points.

 Unfortunately, it has only been two days, so not many medicinal materials have been collected, which makes Chen Xue a little regretful.

 But when I thought that I had earned about 1,500 contribution points, which was equivalent to 1,500 taels of silver, I was instantly satisfied.

Before leaving, she kindly helped them pick out damaged herbs, herbs that were of poor quality, and even helped them pick out a few weeds.

This behavior immediately made Captain Sun's people very grateful. Even Qian Yamen felt a little guilty, feeling that he was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.

Chen Xue is so selfless and came to help them. It is really inappropriate for him to turn people away.

Even Captain Sun waved his hand and told his subordinates that if Chen Xue wanted to check the medicinal materials in the future, don't stop him.

I just don’t know if Captain Sun knows that Chen Xue did this just by the way, and he has already collected a lot of medicinal materials. What he does is like letting a rat into a rice vat. I wonder if he will be so angry that he vomits blood.

 Chen Xue did not expect such an unexpected harvest, and was so happy that she even told herself to wait until there were more leeks before cutting them, and not to cut them too frequently, as a way of repaying Captain Sun's "good intentions."

 …

 Back on the carriage, Chen Xue's consciousness entered the space, and her contribution value at this time had reached 1500 points.

 But Chen Xue did not use it, but kept it for emergencies.

 Furthermore, she was considering whether to exchange it for defensive items, such as soft armor, swords, etc.

As for pistols and the like, she can't afford to exchange them now. After all, the minimum contribution points are tens of thousands.

This time Yamen Qian didn’t really take action, but what about next time?

Who knows if other government officials will take action, or if other prisoners will make a sneak attack. With soft armor on his body, he can still have one more life.

 It's just that soft armor requires 1,500 contribution points, which she can just redeem now, but one piece is definitely not enough. At least each of their family of three needs one piece.

After thinking about it, she still had no idea, so she gave up for the time being. Anyway, there would be no danger for a while, so the soft armor would not be exchanged for the time being.

So, she couldn't help but exchange it for a box of spicy chips.

There is no way, the system is so screwed up, once you exchange it, it will be a box, and you cannot exchange it for a single pack.

However, fortunately, there are ten packages in a box, and it is also in a large package. It only has a contribution value of 5 points, which is barely a loss!

Chen Xue took out the spicy strips. There was no text on the package, so she didn't care. She tore a hole open and the familiar spicy smell hit her nostrils.

 Mother Chen and Xiaodie were instantly attracted by the smell, and both looked over.

 “What is this?” Mother Chen asked curiously.

 “Spicy strips!”

Chen Xue chuckled. It had been a long time since he had eaten this kind of food, and he felt a little nostalgic.

 Actually, it’s been less than a week since I last ate.

"tasty!"

Mother Chen and Xiaodie were immediately attracted to this kind of food when they ate it for the first time. Although it was a bit spicy, the more they ate, the better they felt.

 “What’s the weird smell?”

Mr. Chen walked in from outside the carriage. He smelled a strange smell outside, "Why are you burning incense?"

Mr. Chen's eyelids twitched as he saw that not only were incense burning in the stove in front of everyone, but there were also sachets placed in front of everyone.

 “Deodorizing of course!”

 Chen Xue said and handed over the spicy sticks. After all, the spicy sticks were too spicy and could only be covered up with incense and sachets.

 “What is this?”

Mr. Chen was no longer surprised when his daughter handed over the strange packaged food. He took out one and stuffed it into his mouth. It was so spicy that he started to smoke.

“Hiss~ It’s so spicy to me. Why are you giving me chili peppers?”

 “It’s not spicy!”

“Dad, you can’t stand the spiciness of spicy strips?”

"Who said I can't stand it!" Mr. Chen's eyes widened when he heard this. He took out one without hesitation, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and his face turned red from the spicy taste, and even his ears started to smoke.

“Bah, bah, bah, give me some water, it’s killing me. What kind of pepper is this? It’s really not for humans to eat!”

 Chen Xue and the others couldn't help laughing, "Dad, then you will not be able to enjoy the meal."

There are also nine packs of spicy strips. Her father won't eat them, so it will be an advantage for them.

Mr. Chen rolled his eyes. Chili peppers are not a good thing to eat. He would not eat them even if they killed him.

“Ahem, cough, cough, let’s keep a low profile.” After drinking a lot of water, Mr. Chen couldn’t help but say something as he watched several people eating with gusto.

“The prisoners around us are either very thirsty or very hungry. We are riding in a carriage, laughing and joking, and we are making such delicious food. By then, those prisoners will definitely be jealous and crazy. If some people are jealous and crazy..."

 Chen Xue and the others stopped laughing when they heard this. Really, jealousy can make people crazy.

For a moment, several people were a little ashamed. If Master Chen hadn't said anything, they would have forgotten that they were exiled and thought they were on the way to travel.

Thinking of this, several people discussed it and decided to pretend to be in exile as much as possible.

 Um, wait?

 What is it like to be in exile?
