Coming out of the homestay, Yekong sat in the car and looked out the window. The streets here are not comparable to those of the Imperial City, but because of the bustling crowds, they are more humane.

"Xiaokong, does this really work?"

Ye Kong retracted his gaze and looked at the proprietress of the hotel in the driver's seat.

"Don't worry, I will bear all the consequences."

The proprietress opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

Twenty minutes later, the car drove into a village, and when passing through the archway at the entrance of the village, the night sky glanced at it.

Qilin Village.

This time the house is older than the city, and many places can be seen to be newly built.

The car stopped in front of an old half-saved house.

Ye Kong got off the car and saw a sign next to it that said "Lin's Winery".

The proprietress led him and Xiaoqi inside, "This is my natal home."

For a private house, this house occupies a large area, and you can smell the aroma of wine as soon as you enter.

The proprietress explained with a smile: "Our family has been making wine for generations, and my dad's generation is already the No. 15 generation."

Xiaoqi is like visiting a museum, her big eyes are shining, everything is novel.

The night sky is similar, but he restrained himself a bit, "This is your brewery?"

The proprietress: "Our house is small, not a factory. The north is a residence, and the east and west are wine cellars and warehouses."

Seeing that they were interested, the proprietress told them something about her winery along the way.

Going to the innermost residential area, Xiaoqi pointed to the veranda outside the house and said excitedly: "The veranda here is different from ours!"

The empire also has some buildings that imitate ancient times, but they are just in shape.

Ye Kong smiled: "Sister, your house is so beautiful."

"The boy has good eyesight."

An old man's voice came from the house, and the night sky looked up.

The old man looked about seventy, tall and tall, wearing a sweatshirt and big pants, full of energy.

When the proprietress saw the person, she was furious, "Dad, didn't I tell you that there would be guests coming? Why don't you change into cleaner clothes!"

The old man scratched his stomach with a cigarette in his mouth, obviously not happy, "What kind of clothes should I change, I'm in trouble."

The proprietress wanted to say more, Yekong interrupted with a smile, "Sister, I think grandpa looks good in this way, so don't talk about him."

The old man immediately followed suit, "Look, even this little doll says that, you are poor and fastidious."

Boss lady: "..."

After entering the room, the proprietress went to prepare refreshments, Ye Kong glanced at Xiao Qi, who immediately understood and followed into the kitchen.

In the large living room on the first floor, the old man and Ye Kong sat by the window, with a chessboard on the low table in the middle.

The old man pointed to the chessboard, "Can the little doll play chess?"

Ye Kong shook his head honestly, "No."

The old man picked up the small jug next to him and got a glass of wine, raised it and shook it, "Can you drink?"

Ye Kong shook his head, "I'm not yet of age, so I can't drink."

The old man gave up, with a disgusted look on his face, "Hey, I can't do this and I can't do that, it's boring."

Yekong glanced at the chessboard on the table, and smiled slightly, "I've always wanted to learn chess, why don't you teach me how about grandpa?"

The old man took a sip of the wine and was not interested, "I don't have time to teach, forget it, I'm still busy, you can play by yourself."

Speaking of getting up, he was ready to leave.

"Just tell me the rules." Ye Kong looked over, smiling unabated, "It won't waste your time. Can I play chess with you when I meet?"

The old man stayed on his expression for a second, then sat back reluctantly, "I'll just say it once, if I don't understand, I'll leave."

Night Sky nodded in good humor.

The old man took out the chess pieces and put them on, at the same time he briefly explained the movement of each chess piece.

When he was ready, the rules were finished.

Old man: "Yes?"

The proprietress came over with fruit, and she knew what was going on at the sight of the situation, and couldn't help complaining to the old man, "Father, why do you have to drag everyone to play chess, Xiaokong is here to talk about business."

Xiao Qi followed behind, walked to Ye Kong and glanced at the chessboard, but couldn't understand what it was, and didn't even know many characters on it.

"You can't even play chess, so what's the business?" The old man was unconvinced, and looked at the night sky, "I'll talk about it after I win."

The proprietress frowned, "How many children can play chess now?"

Holding the fruit plate, Xiao Qi squatted down next to the old man, and said obediently, "Grandpa, you eat fruit."

Seeing Xiao Qi, the old man boldly stroked his little curly hair, "Oh, so cute, I haven't seen such a cute little milk baby in my house for a long time."

Xiao Qi remained motionless in a daze, and rubbed with him, her eyes were wet, "Grandpa, my sister really has something important to say, can you finish it before you finish?"

The old man withdrew his hand and changed his face in a second, "No."

Tears hung from the corners of Xiao Qi's eyes, "Grandpa, is it really not possible?"

The old man simply turned his back, "Think about it, I'm very busy."

Xiao Qi: "..." Your Majesty, I did my best.

Ye Kong looked up from the chessboard, "Yes, I will."

The old man looked over, "Don't underestimate chess, knowing the rules is not the same as learning, if you don't put your mind right, you will lose ugly later."

Yekong picked up the "handsome" coin and played with it between his fingers, and smiled calmly, "I won't lose if I line up troops."

"Rampant!" The old man was aroused by him to fight, and he put the wine glass on the tray, "Come on! See how I teach you a lesson."

Xiaoqi ran back to the edge of the night sky and squatted, studying without blinking.

Five minutes later, Ye Kong lowered the "cannon" to a position, and said unhurriedly, "General."

After a pause, the old man removed the "elephant" on his side, and heaved a sigh of relief, "I never thought you would learn so fast, but you are 100 years too early to win against me."

"Really?" The corner of Ye Kong's mouth hooked slightly, and the "horse" in his hand moved a day's oblique angle, and the opponent's "general" entered the killing range again.

"General."

The smile on the old man's face froze there before he let go. He frowned and watched for a moment, then moved the "soldier" up to block the attack of the "horse".

Ye Kong's finger tapped on the "cannon", "General, grandpa."

The old man was dumbfounded, that's right, the opponent's cannon is still there, he can't go this step!

This, this is already a dead end, how is it possible? !

Ye Kong picked up a piece of apple, and after eating the old man didn't find a way to crack it, he said with a smile, "Since I won, let's talk about..."

"Wait!" The old man interrupted, looking over with burning eyes, "I let you do this, so it doesn't count!"

Ye Kong, Xiaoqi: "..."

The proprietress: "..." Dad, can we stop being ashamed?

Three minutes later, a "rook" in the night sky swept the chess game, leaving the old man with only "shi" and "bishop" in charge.

But soon, I couldn't keep it.

Ye Kong is eating grapes: "General."

The old man raised his hand: "No, come again!"

Five minutes later, Ye Kong ate the cake: "General."

The old man hastily raised his hand: "Wait, I want to go back to that step just now."

After playing five rounds in a row, the old man lost miserably. In the end, the proprietress couldn't stand it anymore, "Dad, it's almost over!"

The old man cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Okay, okay, I won't leave today."

He took a sip of wine, fell silent for a moment, and his expression became serious, "I heard you want to join the Hunting Patrol?"

Ye Kong nodded: "Yes, I want to join a team with a hunter's license and special weapons."

Before the maid contest ended, he could only try to avoid appearing as a man, but women could not be recruited as hunters.

In addition to the hunters directly recruited by the Beast Temple, there is also a self-organized hunting patrol team. The assessment of this team is not so strict. As long as you have a hunter license for more than five years, you can organize your own team.

If he wanted to make money from hunting, special weapons were essential. Even if he could kill strange beasts with only mental strength, such prey could not be exchanged for points when they got the Beast Temple, they had to pass the identity verification of the weapons.

And this is exactly what he doesn't have. He can't use his identity to register in the Beast Temple, and he doesn't have the time to slowly accumulate points to exchange for weapons.

So he temporarily had to rely on someone else's identity to hunt, the so-called shooter.

That day he asked the proprietress to introduce such a person to him, but unexpectedly the proprietress introduced his father.

The old man filled his wine glass with no emotion, "You know women can't be hunters, right? What if they are discovered? Our family can't bear this responsibility."

The voice of the night sky was low and low, without arrogance or rashness, "High returns inevitably come with high risks, but when I go hunting, I will disguise myself and will never be discovered."

The old man didn't drink from the wine glass, and gave him a vague look, "High returns must be based on strength, why should I trust you, a little girl?"

Ye Kong looked down at the chessboard, with a slight smile on his lips, "Whether you know how to play chess, you will know after playing. If you have the strength, you will only know when you go to the hunting area."

The air suddenly fell silent.

The proprietress looked nervously at the old man, "Father, give Xiao Kong a try, if it doesn't work, you won't be discovered once."

After a while, the old man suddenly put down his wine glass, got up and walked out.

The proprietress was anxious, "Father, help..."

Night Sky tilted his head to look at him calmly.

The old man looked over, his dark eyes were astonishingly bright on his old face.

He raised his chin towards the night sky, "Go and see if my bow is rusty."

Ye Kong curled his lips into a chuckle, got up and followed.

At noon the next day, Ye Kong came to the winery again. There were already seven or eight men gathered here, both young and old, wearing leather armor, adjusting their weapons in the yard.

Hearing the movement, everyone looked towards him.

"I'll go, who is this, why is he wearing a mask?"

"Old Lin said he was a new intern."

"The ranking is big enough, hey, young man, take off the mask."

Ye Kong walked over and greeted them with his original voice, "Sorry, disfigured, inferior, I can't take off the mask."

"Disfigurement? How did you destroy it?"

"You are very young when you hear the voice, less than 20 years old, right?"

"Your parents are really willing to come out to be a hunter without studying at such a young age."

Ye Kong smiled, "Children from poor families should be in charge of the family early."

While a group of people were chatting, Lao Lin came out of the house. He also changed into leather armor, with a quiver and a longbow on his back.

He glanced at the night sky, and announced in a loud voice: "Squad Qilin, go hunting!"

The others stood up excitedly and responded in unison: "Okay!"
