37, after dinner, Zhou Dao was roasting the fire in the house, and there was a knock on the door, "Is Gongzi Zhou here?" Zhou Dao was taken aback, "like a white master", and he hurriedly ran to open the courtyard door. The sky was dark, and I saw Bai Shoucheng standing outside the courtyard gate with a smile on his face.

"It's Bai Ye, it's so late, what's the matter? Please, have you eaten it? Zhou Dao hurriedly welcomed Bai Ye into the courtyard, closed the courtyard door and walked to the house with him, while asking a series of questions. After eating, I just drank with my brothers, I went back to sleep first, and they were still playing. You see, I happened to be passing by you, and I thought I would come and sit down. Bai Ye said, burping. Zhou Dao smelled the strong smell of wine, he knew that Bai Ye had a good relationship in the town, and every time he came to the town, he basically slept with her.

After entering the house and sitting down, Zhou Dao took a pot from the stove and brewed tea leaves and handed it to Bai Ye. "Your tea is a bit interesting, everyone else is making tea, but you are brewing, I want to taste it." As he spoke, he took a small sip. "Bai Ye, this is the way to drink in our hometown, this tea is kneaded in a wok on the fire, and its fragrance has to be brewed two or three times to show its full potential. Zhou Dao smiled and said, "We have a smooth slip there: the first water, the second tea, the third and fourth are the essence." You taste it slowly, and you will taste it naturally after a while. ＂

"Hehe, you kid has a lot of Taoism." Bai Ye smiled and said, "This year's milling business is good, it has made a good start, and it will continue next year, and it will be expanded." Zhou Dao nodded yes. However, it is not enough to just make a mill, we must take a long-term view, and we have to make food. "Grain?" "Yes, grain and salt are the real big deals." Bai Ye took a sip of tea and became interested, "Salt, I can't do it now, but I have some way to eat." "Food, I've also thought about it, the people who are doing this business now are all big families, they have strength and background, and they are also intertwined in the officialdom, so I'm afraid it's not easy to get started." Zhou Dao said. "In terms of strength, Bai Ye, I haven't been a fool for nothing all these years, who dares not to give face to the underworld and the white way? I want to do the grain business, and if you dare to trouble me, just try it, and see if I don't shovel him. In terms of background, who did you come up with the idea of making food? Bai Ye stared at Zhou Dao with a smile, "It's Fang Xu, County Lieutenant Fang, he has a way, and he wants to do it together, but it's inconvenient for him to come forward." This is easy to do, and you can make money together, hehe. ＂

This Zhou Dao didn't expect it, he nodded, and Bai Ye said again, "At the beginning of the New Year, you will explain this side and move it to the county seat, and let the grain number open in March at the latest." As for how to do this business and how to compete with the original grain numbers, you have to think about it more. That's exactly what I like about you. After that, Bai Ye picked up the tea bowl and drank it all.

"To the county seat?" Zhou Dao was a little confused, "Isn't it too anxious?" Besides, there are mills and chicken coops to take care of here. As he spoke, Zhou Dao refilled Bai Ye's tea. How can it be too urgent? Now that there is a war, it is a good time to make food, and as long as the war is tight, the price of food will be one price a day. In addition, when the time comes, which family's grain will be collected, and at what price, it is not the lord of the county government who has the final say? There are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do, and it is not too early to do this, but in fact, it is not too early. The mill house and chicken coop are all on the road, is it possible that you still have to guard it every day? Brother, I'll find someone to take care of it for you, but you still can't trust me, brother? "Not really, certainly not! But it's not a matter of believing it or not, this mill and chicken coop are also start-ups, the mill will be newly repaired at the beginning of the year, the chicken coop will be expanded, and there are many specific matters to be slowly straightened out, if I am not there..."

Bai Ye solemnly raised his palm, "No need to say it again!" Everything can be solved and will be solved. All you need to do is focus on setting up a grain number. The others are me. "But..." Bai Ye's face was already a little displeased, and he interrupted again, "Alas! The matter is settled, and there is no need to mention it again. Zhou Dao's blood rushed upward, and he was annoyed, "What is this?" After all, this mill chicken coop is my business, so let me go, what's it? Are you going to swallow it or what? ＂

Bai Ye's face turned cold, "You shouldn't say these words, it makes Bai Ye's heart cold." He slowly shook his head and stared at Zhou Dao, his eyes were empty and lifeless under the oil lamp. Zhou Dao's heart was cold, and he couldn't help but regret it. "Your business? If I hadn't let you go, you'd have died a few months ago. Bai Ye said, his voice was a little hoarse, "Do you know why I didn't kill you?" Because I appreciate your abilities and value your usefulness. If you are useless, what is the point of me sparing your life? The business is yours, but your people and your life are mine. ＂

Zhou Dao broke out in a cold sweat, he tried to restrain himself and not tremble, "It seems, Bai Ye, are you going to eat me?" "No, I haven't thought about it yet. Whether you use it or not, it's up to you. Bai Ye said slowly. Also, I heard that you let the millers do their jobs well, but what do you mean by learning to practice martial arts and make guns? "Isn't this the government releasing the ban on the military, and the next step is to let the righteous society be established? If you don't learn martial arts, it's like self-defense. "Huh, self-defense?" Bai Ye snorted contemptuously, "Bang! With a loud bang, Bai Ye's right hand slammed on the table, and the shaking tea bowl shook, splashing all over the table. Zhou Dao was shocked, "You should be stupid, prevent your mother's fart!" Bai Ye roared, "I have received it all when I turn around, you have a fucking calculation on Lao Tzu's head, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you now?" ＂

Zhou Dao softened in an instant, just by himself? The three of them are not enough for Bai Shoucheng to cut, if he feels that he can't be used by him, with Bai Shoucheng's ruthlessness, he may really be killed immediately. "Bai Ye, Bai Ye, you dissipate your anger, don't you mean that, you say that if you don't practice, you won't practice, won't you listen to you?" "Oh? Listen to me, you figured it out so quickly? Bai Ye squinted at him, with mockery. Alas, what can't I figure out, the situation is stronger than people, I have thought about this a long time ago. But this milled chicken coop has cost me a lot of effort, how much do you leave me a little bit for Bai Ye? "Zhou Dao is almost pleading." Bai Ye, I eat soft and not hard, you just said well, why did I get so angry? Bai Ye's tone also softened, "Who said I was going to swallow both the mill and the chicken coop?" Did I say that? Zhou Dao was a little confused, as if this sentence was indeed said by Zhou Dao himself. Bai Ye continued, "You have done a good job in both of these things, if you want to say that you have a share, I will account for sixty percent at most." Who is my white boss in this realm? made a living, oh, can't even take half of it, and that doesn't make people see jokes? You say it's not the case. ＂

"That's it. Zhou Dao could only nod. "Besides, giving you forty percent will also give you a head, right? You say Bai Ye, am I right? Zhou Dao nodded again. That's right! Master Bai, I have always persuaded people with reason. Bai Ye said a little seriously, "You are a piece of business material, I just said, I also fancy you this, you are inside and outside the master, outside the matter, if you want to fight or kill me, what else is there to worry about?" You follow me well, Master Bai, I won't treat my brother badly, my second position of the Eighteen Arhats is still vacant! Bai Ye said, with a slight smile in his eyes. Zhou Dao hurriedly got up and looked respectfully at Bai Ye, "In this way, I will have to rely on Bai Ye to take care of me in the future!" Although Bai Ye is not necessarily at ease with Zhou Dao, but there is a way to know the current affairs for Junjie, and he is quite satisfied with Zhou Dao's attitude towards acquaintance, "Take your time, take a look first." He squinted.

There was no words for a while, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. Seeing that Bai Ye had no intention of leaving, Zhou Dao looked at the mess of bowls and water on the table, and hurriedly said, "I'll clean up", and went out with the dirty bowl, he felt that Bai Ye's eyes were staring at his back. After a while, he took the broom and pinched the rag and came back to start cleaning. "Forget it, that's it for today, remember what I said! It's not too early, I'm gone. Bai Ye sighed and got up. Ah, it's okay or not, Master Bai, you go slowly. Zhou Dao hurriedly beckoned to the front, "Alas, this robe is wet." This doesn't work, you have to wipe it. Zhou Dao said and wiped it with a rag, Bai Ye looked down at the wet piece on his body, and shook his head, I don't know if it's okay. Ahh Bai Ye suddenly roared, and the sound shook the roof. I saw that in the midst of the chaos, Zhou Dao grabbed the rag and smashed it on Bai Ye's temple, and everything was between the lightning and flint.

Bai Ye jumped up suddenly, Zhou Dao smashed it hard for the second time, Bai Ye raised his hand and grabbed it, grabbed Zhou Dao's hand, pinched his fingers and broke it down! Caught the wrong one, it's the left hand! With a huge pain that pierced his heart, Zhou Dao shouted, holding a rag in his right hand and smashing it on Bai Ye's head. "Poof!" It was the sound of broken eggshells, Bai Ye's eyes protruded, the whole person was wooden, Zhou Dao didn't stop at all, he waved his arm with all his strength, and smashed Bai Ye's head! The third, fourth, fifth, sixth... Bai Ye softened, his legs fell to the ground in a strange way, his whole body convulsed, half of his head became a blood gourd, his eyes began to wander, only breathing, not breathing.

Zhou Dao squatted on the ground, as if the whole person had been hollowed out, and with a "bang" "rag" rolled from his hand to the ground, spreading out, revealing a black fist-sized thing, which was wrapped in a rag, an iron scale.

Zhou Dao looked at his raised left hand with difficulty, and his little finger and ring finger flipped over the back of his hand, at a ninety degree angle to the back of his hand, and it was just like that. Zhou Dao's tears and snot flowed uncontrollably, and if it weren't for the stimulation of the intense pain, he felt that he would faint at any time.

"Ahh Hmm..." Zhou Dao heard a vague voice, and the white master on the side was not dead yet, he was angry. Looking at him, Zhou Dao seemed to remember something, and he moved towards Bai Ye's side with difficulty. "Can you hear me?" He gasped and asked, "I ask you, you said someone bought my head, who is it?" He saw that Bai Ye's neck was twisting, the left half of his face was blurred with blood, and his left eye was already blind and bleeding outward. Yes, yes..." Bai Ye seemed to be conscious, he spit blood blisters, and slurred words together, his voice was very small and intermittent, and blood and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth. "Who?" Zhou Dao attached his ear to Bai Ye's mouth, "Hey, hey...", "What? "You, guess!" Zhou Dao suddenly felt Bai Ye's hand, he pounced on Bai Ye, regardless of the great pain in his left hand, desperately pressed him with his whole body, grabbed the scale with his right hand and smashed it on his head, "Bang, bang, bang, bang!" ⋯", Bai Ye didn't move at all. Zhou Dao threw away the scales, his hands were slippery and filthy, and his brains were red and white.

He crawled to his feet little by little, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, looked down, his robe was cut open, the blood soaked the jacket dark red, he felt a panic, slowly little by little undressed, from the left side of his navel to his ribs, was cut by the knife, the flesh was blurred back. He gasped and examined it closely, thankfully he hadn't cut or pierced his belly, otherwise he would have died, and would have died slowly from the infection. The flesh of his abdomen turned out to be beige white, soaked in crimson blood, and it was scary to look at. He turned his head to look at Bai Ye again, motionless, and then he was sure that he was dead.

Bai Ye's right hand was placed on his waist, holding the handle of the dagger tightly, his own waist had been poked, it seemed that the dagger was pulled out of the scabbard and slashed, he couldn't move anymore before he could stab it, and died. Zhou Dao trembled and moved, he shivered and found a clean underwear, wrapped his abdomen and tied it tightly, slowly putting on the clothes one by one. He did it very carefully, and he exhaled in pain with every movement. He grabbed a sackcloth undergarment, cut off the sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth, then sat down on the ground, bowed his head and was silent for a while, his right hand held the two fingers of his left hand, and jerked it back, "Ah! "There was a dull hiss, and Zhou Dao's eyes were dark.

I don't know how long it took, maybe for a long time, maybe for a moment, Zhou Dao opened his eyes. Staring at his shaking hands, the two fingers were no longer stilted in reverse, but they had begun to become red and swollen. The direction of the ring finger is still different. Zhou Dao sighed in the sky, his face was full of sweat, he closed his eyes, and then opened them again, holding his ring finger with his right hand, and his hands couldn't stop shaking, "Hmm! The muffled voice resumed, this time he was not unconscious, and the position of the ring finger of his left hand was correct.

Sweat and tears blinded his eyes, and he rubbed his right hand on his face, and the blood and hot sweat on his hands wiped the fishy smell on his face. He rested for a long time before getting up slightly, then slowly squatted down, picked up the cross knife and dagger on Bai Ye's body, put them on the table, and then slumped down in the chair.

Bai Ye just fell upside down, lying on his back on the ground in front of him, one of his eyes like a dead fish was open blankly, his face was covered with blood and festering, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, as if he was looking at him and laughing, a weird smile.

Zhou Dao sighed, "Bai Ye is finally dead." A legend is over! "There will be new legends." He thought.
