Chapter 342: Hungry Mogadishu (2)

Your sister, what is this Hui Hong Chen Chen looked at dozens of pairs of dirty hands stretched out in front of him, and then looked at the hundreds of people outside who stretched out their hands and squeezed in desperately, and couldn't help but feel a little numb, he had never encountered this situation, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

These men and women, old and young, tall and short, but all of them were ragged, barefoot, dirty, so thin that they could see their ribs, their eyes were green, their mouths were saying things they did not understand, and their expressions were moving.

"Hahaha, let you rot a good person, now you know it's awesome, right?" Seeing this scene, Xie Lanlan stood in the distance and covered her mouth and smiled proudly, obviously having predicted what happened to Chen Chen, so she stayed away from him early, so that she was not surrounded by these hungry people.

Chen Chen said angrily: "Schadenfreude, right?" I said, what's going on? What are they talking about? Hurry up and help! Meiyan said with a smile: "I don't want it, you can solve the trouble by yourself, I don't care, I told you a long time ago Don't listen to bad people, you deserve it!" ”

Chen Chen was angry, glared at Xie Lanlan fiercely, the glamorous and familiar fΓΉ ignored him, stood aside with her arms and watched the excitement with a smile, in the early years, when she first came to Mogadishu, she was like a little man, seeing these beggars with kindness, she was very sympathetic, and gave them all the snacks on her body, but in a blink of an eye, she was surrounded by more hungry people hiding in the alley, stalking her and not letting her go, so that she was almost scared to death, and finally the bodyguards around her rushed in to save her.

This kind of encounter is not an isolated case, almost every foreigner who sets foot in Mogadishu for the first time has encountered it, Xie Lanlan has encountered it more than once, and gradually she has seen through it, knowing that this is not something that her liliang alone can change, so she can only sigh and stop doing much.

Chen Chen was surrounded by hundreds of people, and there was a group of people in front of him, countless hands stretched out to him, screaming, the momentum was very scary, with his ability, of course he could easily get out of trouble, but this would definitely hurt people, how could he bear to attack these people who were already sick and hungry?

Those beggars saw that he was reluctant to send food, and gradually became a little anxious, and a few people even reached out directly to grab the bag in his hand, squeezing forward and backward, and many thin children were squeezed to the ground and cried, but the people behind them ignored it at all, and just stepped on people to move forward......

"I'm one!" Chen Chen saw that the situation was not right, and if he continued like this, he might cause death, so he stomped on his feet fiercely, and the people who surrounded him were all unstable and retreated.

Chen Chen rushed into the crowd to help up a few children who fell to the ground, glanced at the group of people with frightened faces, but hungry and green eyes, sighed, and distributed the food in his hands......

Before leaving, Xie Lanlan bought a lot of snacks and snacks in the capital, enough for her to eat for a while, but at the moment, she couldn't stand hundreds of people, and after a while, all the work was gone, but the vast majority of people still didn't get it, with a disappointed face, and a few people even looked at a few children around them who were gobbling up with their mouths vicious.

Seeing this, Chen Chen's face sank, he raised his eyes to look around, and saw that there was a bread shop in front of him, so he patted his finger and pointed there, beckoning these people to come with him.

Seeing so many refugees surrounding him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the iron and made trouble, and he opened a shop here almost every day when he met people who came up to grab bread to eat, whether you scolded or beat, as long as you could grab something to eat, these refugees would stand and fight with you, which was very difficult.

Chen Chen rushed forward and stretched out his hand to hold up the iron door, and said to him in English that he wanted to buy bread, Somalia was once a British colony, although the vast majority of people are used to speaking Somali and Arabic, but a few simple words of English can still be understood, the boss saw that he, a foreigner, did not lead the crowd to rob, he breathed a sigh of relief, and rolled up the iron door again.

A few drawers of bread were quickly distributed by Chen Chen, and this time everyone finally had a share, but looking at the way these refugees were eating, he knew that such a little bread would definitely not be enough, so he motioned to the boss to go on again.

But the boss refused, stretched out his hand and asked him for money, Chen Chen rolled his eyes, your sister, brother's net worth of tens of billions will be less than your money? But soon a man was dumbfounded, people don't care about PS at all, saying that although n is very strong in the world, it is not common here, except for Somali shillings, people here only accept US dollars or British lists. ..., Seeing that Chen Chen had no money to pay the bill, the boss was anxious, he was also a small business, if these drawers of bread could not collect Huilai money, he would be in vain this day, and immediately became angry, picked up the rolling pin and prepared to fight with Chen Chen.

Xie Lanlan was so happy to hide her mouth and smile when she saw this scene, and said, "Are you doing good deeds with kindness, or are you robbing the rich and helping the poor?" Why are you slapping a swollen face and being fat if you don't have any money? ”

Chen Chen said helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't talk coolly, do you have any dollars?" ”

The glamorous and familiar fΓΉ glanced at him charmingly, handed over a Franklin, Chen Chen slapped it on the hand of the bakery, and said angrily: "One hundred dollars, is it enough?" ”

Enough is enough! The boss smiled, took out the bread that had been baked for several lifetimes from the back room, and then stood aside and watched Franklin smirk, muttering that he had made a fortune and made a fortune, and with the current chaotic economic situation in Somalia and the exchange rate against the dollar, a hundred dollars could almost buy his entire store.

Chen Chen watched these people bite into Yan Sè's blackened bread in a big gulp, and the satisfied look was like eating the most delicious food on Shijie, this scene couldn't help but arouse his appetite, he and Ning Xuan didn't like to eat when they were on the plane, and they were a little hungry after staying up for more than ten hours, so they picked up a black bread and took a bite......

One bite, just one bite, a man's face is green!

"Is it delicious?" Xie Lanlan laughed and trembled, she had eaten the local black bread out of curiosity, but she only ate one bite and never dared to touch it again, how to describe the taste of this black bread? You can try the wowotou made of bran and flour, which is basically the same.

Chen Chen resisted the urge to vomit and swallowed the bread in his mouth with difficulty, then looked at the rest with stunned eyes, and put it down after laughing dryly twice in the teasing sound of Meishu.

It is said that when he was a child, there were many children in the family, and his two uncles and the youngest aunt were still studying at that time, and his parents earned money in addition to supporting the three of them, and they also had to pay part of it to their grandfather to subsidize the family, which was also considered difficult, and he also had a birthday day when he ate a pack of instant noodles, but as the youngest son and grandson in the family, he was still very favored, not to mention big fish and meat, but at least the rice and meat have never been broken, and he has never eaten such an unpalatable thing.

"That's what they're going to eat?" Chen Chen looked at Xie Lanlan and asked bitterly.

Mei Yan said lightly: "Being able to eat black bread every day is a fairy life for these refugees, which is the staple food of the local ordinary people, and the refugees can't afford to eat it." ”

Chen Chen was completely speechless, looked around at the people who were eating very sweetly, closed his eyes and sighed deeply, shook his head with a wry smile, this situation finally made him understand what it means to be cheap in troubled times, what it means to live in the world, and what it means to be powerless.

As long as the political situation in Somalia is not calmed down, there will be a steady stream of refugees, and hundreds of refugees have gathered in one street of Mogadishu. How many people in Somalia as a whole should be starving?

Chen Chen couldn't think about it anymore, so he could only raise his middle finger towards the Somali Provisional Government and the government building in the distance with disdain!

After leaving those refugees, Chen Chen didn't want to say anything with a heavy heart, before parting, he robbed Xie Lanlan of all the cash on his body and distributed it to those people, but he knew that this was just a drop in the bucket, and he could only temporarily save the emergency, and it didn't take long for these refugees to run out of money, and they could only endure hunger and beg along the street.

Even if he is kind, what can he do with his own money to support these people for the rest of his life? Will he be able to feed the refugees of the entire city? Will he be able to feed the entire Somali refugees? Xiangdao this, Chen Chen only felt depressed.

After the two of them walked out of the street sullenly, Xie Lanlan suddenly sighed and said, "You shouldn't have given them money just now." ”

"What? Distressed? Cheapskate! Don't worry, I'll give it back to you after I get to the hotel! Chen Chen said with an unhappy face.

Mei Yan said helplessly: "Why, in your heart, am I so insensitive, cold-blooded and ruthless?" I don't let you give them money, it's not because I'm distressed or stingy, it's because I know that the money won't reach them in the end, do you believe it or not, someone is robbing them of their money at this time? ”

"What?" Chen Chen exploded when he heard this, and asked in disbelief with red eyes: "Zhende fake?" ”

Xie Lanlan nodded and said: "These refugees are all watched, to prevent them from messing around, it's okay if you give them something to eat, if you give them money, they won't be able to keep it at all, they will be robbed soon, if someone hides or doesn't pay, they will be beaten, I've seen it several times." "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Chen Chen was furious.

Mei Yan said lightly: "I want to tell you, but at that time, your sympathy was overflowing, and you ignored me, what else do I have to say?" Chen Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, cursed and slapped off the dilapidated street lamp beside him, stomped his feet and said: "No, I have to go back and see, Mom, yes, I see who dares to trample on Lao Tzu's compassion!" "Forget it, I know you're very powerful, you can easily beat up those garbage and get angry for the refugees, but it's useless, after you leave, those people will retaliate and beat the refugees under them, it's not strange to kill and cripple, if you really want them to be good, just don't know anything." Xie Lanlan smiled bitterly.

Chen Chen was so angry that he couldn't do anything, but he was helpless, because he believed that Meiyan was telling the truth, and under this cruel law of survival, he had better pretend to be stupid and didn't know what to do, otherwise he would still be those refugees in the end.
