"Some people just don't have a long memory and just touch things they shouldn't touch."

Knock out the old cut tobacco from the cigarette holder, open the cigarette bag and replace it with fresh cut tobacco. After lighting it, take a deep breath. Manager Cao narrows his eyes and puffs away the smoke.

His eyes were cold, falling on Zhou Jia through the smoke, half smiling:

"You think so, Brother Zhou?"

"yes."

The other person's eyes were strange, with the lingering power after killing someone. Zhou Jia lowered his head subconsciously, and his mind was spinning rapidly, confirming that he had never offended this person.

Show off your power?

It doesn't seem like it.

Zhou Jia's honest attitude made Manager Cao's expression soften slightly. He waved his hand to have the bodies on the ground collected and looked at the old man in charge of recording:

"How much did you charge today?"

"Return to the manager." The old man's voice was trembling, as if he was afraid:

"Currently, 874 kilograms of black jade have been accounted for. The total accounted amount may exceed 3,000 kilograms. There are also one...two pieces of black jade."

"Not bad, not bad." Manager Cao raised his eyebrows slightly and took a long puff of dry cigarette:

"I've long heard that the new guard is a lucky star, and it seems that's true. In previous years, when work first started, there wasn't that much output."

"Brother Zhou."

He turned around and smiled:

"It seems that I won't be able to do without you here in the future."

"The steward is joking." Zhou Jia shook his head repeatedly:

"I am not a lucky star. It all depends on your management."

"Don't say that." Manager Cao shook his head:

"Mining all depends on luck. It's not uncommon for luck to be less than a thousand pounds per day. This kind of thing is impossible to say."

"When Brother Zhou was still a newcomer, he was able to kill a high-level monster and was promoted to the fifth level early. How can he not be considered a lucky star?"

After saying this, everyone in the venue couldn't help but cast surprised glances at Zhou Jia.

Especially Lushan.

Even more envious and admirable.

Above level 4, even if you are a small master in the outer city, most of the middle-level players in the Fish and Dragon Society are level 5.

As the mine manager, Guanshi Cao is only at the fifth level. After years of hard training, he barely managed to break through the year before last.

"Haha..." Zhou Jia laughed dryly:

"I am indeed very lucky. Unfortunately, even though I am a fifth-grade person, I am an empty frame. I will have to ask the steward for advice in the future."

"Yeah." Manager Cao nodded, noncommittal:

"So be it!"

"Continue to collect ore, and use your tactics more brightly, if there is black jade on the market that is not released from our side."

"snort!"

The cold murderous intention made everyone present tense up.

"yes."

"yes!"

…………

The cold moon has just passed and the snow has melted.

The dripping drops of water fell from the treetops, making the road muddy, but it also brought moisture to the vegetation that had survived the cold winter.

The second floor of the pub.

It was still early for dinner, so there were only a few people drinking.

Near the window, a small red clay stove was blowing white smoke.

While the wine was still warm, Fatty Han picked up the jug and filled a bowl for each of them.

"hiss……"

Squinting his eyes and looking comfortable, Fatty Han’s voice sounds comfortable:

"This kind of wine tastes best when it's warm. It makes you a little tipsy. When you go home, you fall asleep and you feel more energetic the next day."

"It's really good." Zhou Jia took a sip and said:

"But that's not the case here. If you fall asleep at night, you may not be able to wake up again."

"You are too careful." Fatty Han shook his head:

"There are bloodthirsty vines planted at the door, a trap is installed at the door, and there are traps inside. If possible, I think you will have to wedge a row of horse-repelling stakes."

"Anyone who breaks into your tree house in the middle of the night is seeking death!"

"The West District is not as good as the East District." Zhou Jia shook his head:

"It's much more dangerous."

"Then you come over and live with us. The dormitory of the Fish and Dragon Club will be safe, right?" Fatty Han said, then chuckled again:

"I knew you wouldn't come."

Zhou Jia has many secrets, and he has to practice martial arts every day, so it is impossible for him to live with other people.

"what happened?"

He put down the wine bowl and frowned:

"It's been a week since I went to the mine. People named Cao start to get angry whenever they see me. Others are also very repulsive towards me."

"This week, I have seen others look at me coldly."

"It's my fault." Fatty Han smiled bitterly:

"Deacon Lu has always been in charge of the mine. He and Boss Wei have never dealt with each other, but it was Boss Wei who arranged for you to go there. The man named Cao will definitely target you."

"Huh?" Zhou Jia's face darkened and he couldn't help but said angrily:

"You are playing tricks on me!"

He knew that the problem was not with him, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Huojiabao is not a society ruled by law, and the Fish and Dragon Society is even more unkind. Even if it is a society ruled by law, undercover agents have to come secretly. How could it ever be so upright and upright?

The entire mine belongs to the other party, just like a wolf among tigers, what if...

I'm afraid he doesn't even know how he died!

No, it's not just in case. In the past few days in the mine, he could always vaguely feel the coldness in his back. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid someone has murderous intent on him!

If he had known this, he would never have agreed to this assignment.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Seeing his excitement, Fatty Han couldn't help pressing down his hands and explained in a low voice:

"That kid Zhao Gang doesn't know anything. Boss Wei just mentioned it like that. He thought it was a good job and told you in a hurry."

"I……"

"I didn't know about this at the beginning. If I had known about it, I definitely wouldn't have introduced you. Boss Wei did not do it justice by hiding this from me."

"Huh!" Zhou Jia snorted coldly:

"What now? I leave?"

"Don't worry yet." Fatty Han shook his head:

"Just because everyone knows that you belong to Boss Wei, Cao won't do anything to you. You will be safe in a short time."

"You also said it was for a short period of time." Zhou Jia frowned.

He didn't believe that there were nails planted by others in his place. If Manager Cao could endure it, he would probably suffer a brain breakdown.

"Don't worry, I've been paying attention here." Fatty Han said:

"There's a stall that's going to be short of people soon. I'll be transferred there when the time comes. But have you discovered anything in the mine during this time?"

"I've only been there for a week, and every one of them is guarding me like a thief. What can I find?" Zhou Jia was speechless.

"Yes." Fatty Han laughed dryly. He had no hope at all and just asked casually.

"But..." Zhou Jia touched his chin, looking thoughtful:

"There is something, I wonder if it counts as a gain?"

"What's the matter?" Fatty Han's eyes lit up:

"tell me the story!"
