Chapter 73 Torches of Light
In the next house, Meifang's house, three candles were burning generously, lighting up the entire house clearly.
Harvey asked in confusion, "Mom, why do you need three candles? That's such a waste. We don't have many replacement wicks at home."
Meifang had a smile on her face as she tidied and picked around the house, looking decades younger. Hearing this, she glared at her son coquettishly, "What do you know? We won't need these candles when we get to Global Village. I've asked Luke about it, and they say the little cabin in Global Village has its own little light. It's made of a glowing insect trapped in a cover. It's really pretty. Oh, I want to go see it now."
As she spoke, she carefully instructed her husband, "Cook, we have to work hard to save spirit coins to buy a cabin."
"Yeah." Cook grinned and responded, "I'll work hard."
Harvey also perked up and said happily, "Mom, don't we have a lot of energy coins at home? I won't save them to get married. Let's buy a small cabin for our family first."
"Hmph, you little brat, you're dreaming. With all the money we have, you still want to marry a wife? No one would be interested in you." Meifang looked at her son with disdain. He was a tall and handsome boy. His family conditions were the best in the tribe. Which girl wouldn't want to marry into his family?
But now compared with Village Chief Yun, even if she had to go against her conscience, she would have to say that her son and him were indeed not a good match.
However, his son is honest and obedient. He will definitely be like his father in the future and listen to his wife's words. Village Chief Yun is such a strong-willed woman, maybe she likes such an honest, obedient and family-oriented man.
Thinking of this, Meifang rekindled her hope.
Harvey looked unhappy and asked helplessly, "Whose girl has your mother taken a fancy to now?"
"What do you mean by 'again'? How can you talk like that, little brat? I'm doing this for your own good. Who wouldn't want their son to marry the best wife?"
"Okay, okay, so which outstanding girl did you meet this time?"
"Who else could it be? I met Village Chief Yun today. Which girl in the tribe can compare to her elegance and grace?"
Meifang was talking in high spirits when she blurted out something, which frightened the father and son in the room so much that they froze on the spot.
Cook glanced at his silly son with a tangled expression and stammered, "Yun, Village Chief Yun, can this be considered worthy of our son?"
Meifang snorted, "Everyone has a dream. Maybe our son will catch up with him."
Harvey shuddered, his face flushed instantly, and he cried out, "Mother, I can't do this. She's a lady from a noble family."
Meifang immediately glared at him, her face full of disappointment. "Why are you such a coward? How come you know you can't win before you even start chasing me? Back then, your mother was the most beautiful girl in the tribe. The people chasing me would line up all the way to the Black Bear Tribe. Your father, such a loser, was at the bottom of the pile."
"But your father didn't give up. He pursued me with all his love and treated me well. I'm not a vulgar person who judges by appearance. I liked his seriousness and perseverance. In the end, he became your father's daughter-in-law. You really haven't learned your father's spirit at all."
Harvey:.
Wasn’t it because my father could turn into meat that my mother married him so she could eat more meat?
After listening to more than ten versions of the story told by his mother and father, Harvey had a wooden face and was not moved at all.
Meifang snorted at her son with disdain. "Alright, alright, put down what you're doing for now. Village Chief Yun told us to gather at the tribal square at 7pm. He said he's going to perform an unboxing show for us."
"Hey, why didn't I know about this?"
"That brat Ge Miao went door to door to inform the heads of each household. How could you, third in line, possibly know?" Meifang muttered with a smug look on her face, unable to contain her joy. "Those are over fifty treasure chests. I heard Village Chief Yun dropped them while killing monsters outside the tribe this afternoon. He saw that we weren't very involved in Global Village, so he wanted to show them to us."
"Don't mention it, Village Chief Yun's daughter has done a great job in this matter. She is a very good girl. Why can't she be my daughter-in-law?"
The father and son touched their noses, looked at each other, and followed their "head of the family" out helplessly but habitually.
At this time, the square of the Tengu tribe was filled with red light.
After the magnetic core storm, the northern region of Exile Star welcomed a rare peaceful night. The strong winds at night were no longer so rampant, but became obedient kittens, blowing only a gentle breeze.
【Name: Torch of Light】
Effect: It can dispel the thick fog and darkness within a radius of thirty meters, making it the best partner for explorers in the wild late at night.
Note: The burning time is 2 hours, please control the time well, it is a one-time use prop.
These were the few remaining treasure chests that Yun Qimu had opened out of the more than fifty treasure chests he had opened before, which just provided convenience for tonight's bonfire party.
She ordered three pirates to place four torches in a circle around the area, and the entire square of the Tengu tribe was illuminated with a bright red light, which looked brighter than the gray daytime.
"Village Chief Yun."
"Village Chief Yun."
The Tengu people entered one after another with surprised expressions on their faces.
Meifang also led her husband, son and family to reunite with Chief Massa and his family, and followed the tribesmen into the square.
She couldn't hold back her mouth and asked in surprise, "Oh my god, what kind of torch is this? Why is it so bright?"
"This is the torch of light that we got from the treasure chest. It can illuminate the darkness within a radius of thirty meters." Yun Qimu stood in the center of the square.
In the bright light, she stood gracefully, like a noble lady, elegant and calm, adding a touch of breathtaking beauty to her beautiful face.
Meifang was stunned, then she kept muttering to herself, "I'm not worthy of him, I'm not worthy of him."
A young tribesman around the same age as Ha Wei nudged him with his arm and winked at him, "Aunt Meifang, are you interested in Village Chief Yun again?"
Obviously, everyone in the tribe knew that Hawi's mother liked to find an outstanding daughter-in-law. The more outstanding she was, the better she liked her. She was pure and unpretentious without any concealment.
Therefore, when the tribesmen had nothing to do, they would always tease Harvey about this matter, especially the boys of the same age.
Harvey withdrew his gaze from the dazzling figure in the center, his handsome face flushed uncomfortably. He said helplessly, "Yes, my mother is just like that. But how can I be worthy of such a beautiful and elegant person?"
There was a bitterness in the sigh.
Good morning!
I'll upload one chapter first to tell you about the situation.
