Chapter 36: Turning against others

Captain Sun was a little hesitant. Opening the shackles was risky. Who knew whether the Chen family would escape.

However, after thinking about it, it was impossible for the Chen family to run away, and there was no place to run away. Moreover, if they did not run away, they would still have a chance to survive. Once they ran away, they would be dead. As long as they were not fools, they would know how to choose.

So, he agreed, but he did not open everyone's shackles, but agreed to Chen Xue and his parents. Of course, at Chen Xue's strong request, Xiaodie and Yang Xiaohua also released their shackles.

It's just that Chen Xue asked that the person who unlocked the shackles must be Xu Tian. Although Captain Sun was a little confused, considering that their cooperation was currently needed, he agreed.

Although Xu Tian was a little confused, he was naturally very happy when he heard that he would help Mr. Chen unlock his shackles.

However, when he untied Mother Chen's shackles, he was stunned because the weight of the shackles was wrong.

He has been a government servant for so long and is very aware of the weight of shackles. But the shackles in front of him are actually lighter than paper. Is this a problem?

"hurry up!"

Chen Xue naturally knew that Xu Tian noticed something was wrong, and quickly urged him. Only then did Xu Tian realize. Although he was confused, he still helped Chen Xue and others unshackles.

The weight of Yang Xiaohua's shackles is normal, but the weight of Xiaodie's is abnormal.

Xu Tian was a little confused. It wasn't until he untied Chen Xue's shackles that he felt something was wrong even more.

 One is fine, two or three, it means there is a real problem.

However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw Chen Xue's eyes, and then he fell into a trance. He heard Chen Xue's voice in his ears. After a while, Xu Tian shook his head and came back to his senses.

 After coming back to his senses, Xu Tian no longer had any doubts about the weight of the shackles.

Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief, it was not in vain that she spent a lot of money to exchange hypnosis from space.

Hypnosis requires five thousand contribution points to exchange. She and Yang Xiaohua finally collected the medicinal materials, but they were not enough. They had to deduct some from their private money to get the five thousand, which made her feel distressed.

It also made her more determined to collect medicinal materials as soon as possible.

However, fortunately, hypnosis is long-term and not one-time, so it is not a loss.

  However, this hypnosis technique has a flaw. You must let others look directly into your eyes, and you can only hypnotize one person at a time.

 In addition, the easier it is to be hypnotized if you don’t resist yourself.

 That's why she chose to let Xu Tianlai untie the shackles. Firstly, he had a good attitude towards her and others, and secondly, even if he noticed something was wrong at the first time, he would not yell loudly.

 Fortunately, she made the right bet.

 After untying the shackles, Chen Xue stretched out and felt much more relaxed. He was like a monkey who had just escaped from the Wuzhi Mountain. He wanted to run around and jump around to show his happiness.

 Although I used weak water to lighten the shackles before, I still felt restricted, but I don’t feel that way now.

“Okay, now hurry up and ask your doctor to point out the medicinal materials around you.” Captain Sun hurriedly urged, as if if he delayed for a second, he would lose one tael.

Chen Xue didn't want to delay, she also hoped to collect more medicinal materials and exchange them for contribution points.

 Contribution value is a good thing, comparable to silver.

If the money is gone, it will be gone, but if the contribution points are low, you can still earn it back, so Chen Xue chooses to exchange the contribution points for things unless it is a last resort.

  After all, there are too many good things in the system, such as milk tea, ice cream, uh... In addition to food, there are other good things.

 Let’s get back to business.

Chen Xue quickly asked Yang Xiaohua and her father to point out the medicinal materials around them, and then Captain Sun had people pick them back, and then handed them to the prisoners for all the prisoners to remember.

Not long after, a notice came from the exiled team that medicinal materials could be exchanged for food.

 For a time, the entire exiled team was boiling.

You should know that they only provide one steamed bun and a little porridge or porridge per person every day, which is not enough to eat at all.

 Those with money could go to the government officials privately to buy more food, but the government officials were too greedy. They only spent a few taels of silver to buy one or two more steamed buns.

This meal is finished. If you want to be full at the next meal, you have to spend a few taels of silver to buy more food from the yamen.

 But they had been exiled, and they didn’t have that much money, so they could only starve.

Now, they have the opportunity to eat enough and collect medicinal materials. For them, although it takes a little effort, it is nothing compared to the harvest.

Even if they don't find medicinal materials, they can still take the opportunity to look for wild vegetables and fruits. After all, under normal circumstances, they can only walk around except when they are resting. When the exile team is walking, they cannot leave the team for too long, otherwise they will be regarded as running away and will be attacked. kill.

 Now that this notice is announced, they can leave the team openly and collect supplies around them.

 Either way, it’s a win-win.

 Therefore, there were not many prisoners who objected to this notice, which made Captain Sun very satisfied.

"Captain, do we really want to share half of the profits with them?" Qian Yamen couldn't help but said. In his opinion, there was no need to share it with the Chen family.

Captain Sun looked around, and then said disdainfully, "I think too much, how can I share it with them?"

Captain Sun’s plan is very simple. Their medicinal materials are taken to Nanman to be sold, but after arriving in Nanman, the Chen family and other prisoners will be handed over to the local county government.

However, after the handover, the Chen family cannot leave, so they will just leave with the medicinal materials. Even if the Chen family knows, what can they do.

 Besides, is it not certain that the Chen family will be able to survive to the Southern Barbarians?

Captain Sun knew very well how determined Guo Qiang was to kill. With the current strength of the Chen family, it was impossible to stop Guo Qiang's pursuit.

 So, maybe the Chen family will be gone before they reach Nanman, and the medicinal materials will not belong to them by then.

In the following days, as expected by Chen Xue, many medicinal materials were collected and delivered to the carriage where Captain Sun and others were.

 Chen Xue couldn't sit still when she saw this. She proposed this cooperative business not to make money, because it was difficult for them to make this money.

Not to mention, even if they get the medicinal materials, they will be confiscated by the local government officials after arriving in Nanman.

Even if it is not confiscated, they have no chance to sell it, because when they arrive in Nanman, they will be assigned to the wasteland villages.

There are all prisoners there, so how much money can I have to buy medicines?

Moreover, they cannot leave the countryside and go to the county town, so they cannot sell any medicinal materials.

 Therefore, Chen Xue could only use Captain Sun's power to collect these medicinal materials and exchange them for contribution points.

Of course, this was done secretly.

 “What to do?”

Yamen Qian is now responsible for the collection and management of medicinal materials. When he saw Chen Xue coming, his face suddenly turned cold, obviously wanting to turn against him.

 “I want to see the medicinal materials!”

"impossible."

 Qian Yamen refused without hesitation. They had already planned to exclude the Chen family and go it alone. How could they let Chen Xue intervene.
