Chapter 769: Let’s Live Here

As the sun went down on the western hills, there was a light in the settlement fields, and many open areas had bonfires burning.

Victor also lit a fire at his door, but instead of throwing wood on the ground to light it, he placed it in a fireplace that was cleverly designed to trap ashes and sparks while giving off heat.

At night, the island was uncomfortably cold and damp.

Li Du and the others rubbed their hands and surrounded the fire. Victor's wife came out and hung a large kettle of hot coffee. After a while, the sweet aroma of coffee permeated the area.

”It's the sweetest smell I've ever smelled,” Hannah said excitedly.

Victor, who was handling the bird, turned around and said, ”You won't know what the best smell is until the stew is ready!”

Seeing how hard his work was, Li Du said to Brother Wolf, ”Go and help him clean up.”

Big Quinn was very hard-working. He got up and said, ”I'll help, too.”

Two men joined in, and the bird, deer, rabbit meat, and so on were soon prepared.

The coffee pot whimpered, and the thick smell of coffee spread through the steam.

Victor's wife prepared a large cup of hot coffee for each of them.

A grill was brought out, and Victor put on the goose's legs, the sheep, the venison, and the chicken, and began to roast them.

At the same time, the coffee pot was removed, and in its place, he hung an iron pot with a pile of meat and vegetables in it.

”The meal is savage and interesting,” said Li Du.

Victor's wife took over the grill, and Victor rubbed his hands and sat down. ”That's the specialty. You can't get it in the cities.” He laughed. ”Don't worry, it's hygienic, and you can try it later. It's delicious.”

They chatted casually while waiting for dinner.

”Where were you from before? Why do you live here? To tell you the truth, I think it would be boring to live on this island for a long time,” said Li Du.

Victor said, ”Yes, boring, but it's easy to live here. What do we live for? Don't you just want to be happy? Be happy here.”

”No entertainment, no electricity.” Lu Guan wondered. ”Still happy?”

Victor said, ”Who said there is no electricity?”

Lu Guan said, ”You have electricity? So why is the whole village so dark? You also depend on the firelight here.”

Victor pointed to the building and said, ”There's a generator in it, but it's too expensive. I won't waste any diesel unless you're willing to pay for it.”

Li Du said, ”How much do you charge?”

”It depends on how many lights you want to on. It's 50 dollars an hour for one.”

This charge was quite expensive indeed, but Li Du didn't care. He said, ”Then turn on the light. It is too dark. I am afraid I'll feed my nose instead of my mouth.”

Several of the children grinned.

Li Du gave him 500 dollars, and Victor turned on two lights as Li Du had asked.
