After Muhammadi had completed all the formalities, Li Lan walked into the hotel with the general Ahmed, while the other soldiers stood guard around the hotel.

However, instead of arriving at the room right away, they accepted the invitation of the hotel owner to a very large living room.

In the hallway leading to the living room, two white men in suits walked up to them, but they did not talk to each other except for looking at each other.

After entering the living room, Li Lan was obviously stunned for a moment, when he came to Bossaso, he had too many new impressions, and the decoration in it, full of European-style furniture and decoration style, made him feel very good.

Luxury, that's the first feeling, extravagance, that's the second feeling. Although Li Lan was just an ordinary office worker before he owned the base, it does not mean that he is an uninformed person, and it can be seen from his fluent English that he is not a person who is willing to be mediocre.

"The fine wood, the traditional craftsmanship and contemporary advanced jishu means into one, its most striking feature is the clever use of the golden section, the owner here is a person who knows how to enjoy it, throughout the layout, is also a fine person." Looking at the whole leopard, Li Lan quickly came to his own conclusion about the owner of this hotel.

"I'm a rough guy and can't understand this, but this boss is also a patriotic person." Although Mohammadi didn't know much about the owner of this hotel, he just needed to know that the other party was also a patriotic person.

"Oh, you knew him before?" Li Lan asked.

"I guess there was a deal! I actually sold the weapons you gave him in the past, and I wasn't a friend. This time he knew you were coming, and he specially explained to me that he wanted to see you. Mohammadi nodded.

"So, but this master seems to be unruly, and when our guests arrived, he was nowhere to be seen. That doesn't seem to be your Somali hospitality! Li Lan didn't find a place to sit down by herself, but paced slowly to see the furniture inside.

"I'm very sorry, friends from the East, please accept my daoqian." As soon as Li Lan's words fell, a hearty voice came from behind him. The accurate English pronunciation made Li Lan sound not difficult at all.

After turning around and seeing the person who came, Li Lan would not judge his appearance, and his first feeling to Li Lan was that this person was very straightforward, not the kind of person who would beat around the bush.

"You're the owner of this hotel?" Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Li Lan also showed a smile and asked.

"Friends, please sit down and serve tea! Take out my treasured tea leaves. The person who came did not answer Li Lan's question immediately, but politely gestured to the luxurious sofa on the side, invited Li Lan and the others to sit down, and then shouted to the door.

Li Lan and Muhammadi sat down generously, Ahmad stood behind Li Lan, and the general, who had been following him, squatted beside Li Lan obediently.

Seeing that Ahmet did not sit down, he did not say anything, but introduced himself: "My name is Farah Adile, you can call me Farah, a native of Bossaso." I don't know what to call this guest from the East? ”

"Hello Mr. Farah, my name is Li Lan, and as you know, I have come to distant China." Li Lan did not lose his manners, and the other party did not seem to have malicious intentions, so he would naturally treat him with kindness.

"Mr. Li, can I call you that?" Farah Road.

"Mr. Farah, the name of the person was originally taken to call people, whether it is Mr. Li or directly call me Li Lan. I wouldn't mind. Li Lan said.

"There's nothing wrong with being polite, so at least you don't have unnecessary misunderstandings." Farah Road.

"Huh! Then it's up to you. Li Lan nodded.

"I'm curious, which shili Mr. Li's escort hired from, serious and confident, it's not easy!" Looking at Ahmed, who was standing behind Li Lan like a javelin, Farah asked with emotion.

From Farah's few words, Li Lan understood that Mohammadi did not tell this person about his situation, and this person did not know his own situation, and it was likely that he was only limited to knowing that he was a person.

"They are all my guards and do not belong to any shili." Li Lan didn't intend to hide it, and guarding a lie that would be exposed at any time, it was better to say it generously.

Farah was stunned for a moment, but quickly reflected and said, "Mr. Li is really young and promising. ”

"Mr. Farah is not simple, although you and I don't know each other, but you are in contact with Somalis in my Somalia area, and you speak the most English." Li Lan replied.

At this time, a hotel waiter came in with tea and boiling water, and after leaving, he also closed the door casually.

"I've lived in the UK since I was a child, so it's no surprise that I speak English accurately. Compared to Mr. Lee's achievements, my simplicity is really not worth mentioning. Farah said as he straightened out the tea set.

"Have you ever been to China before?" In front of him, Li Lan really has too many problems, because his method of making tea is completely the same as that of making Chinese tea, and even the tea set is printed with simplified Chinese characters.

"I'll be there for a few days." While concentrating on making tea, Farah sighed: "China is a beautiful place, whether it is natural scenery or urban style, it makes me feel the urge to settle there permanently." ”

"Then you weishenme didn't settle down?" Mohammadi, who had not interjected just now, couldn't help but speak out after hearing Farah's words.

"The Qur'an says: 'Seek knowledge, even if it is as far away as China.'" Quoting a Qur'anic aphorism, Farah continued: "To gain knowledge is not only to benefit oneself, but also to those around you." So, I sold all the fixed assets of other countries, returned to Bossaso, who gave birth to me, and changed this place with my faith and liliang. ”

"You are a great Muslim, please forgive me for my previous question." Muhammadi nodded sympathetically and said to Farah.

"You don't need daoqian, in fact, I can feel that you are also a real Somali person, otherwise I wouldn't let you sit with me." Farah had a good attitude towards Mohammadi and showed no signs of displeasure.

"Now, please taste the tea I brought back from distant China. Mr. Li may have been accustomed to drinking this tea, but it is a rarity in Somalia. ”

“xiexie！” Li Lan did not refuse.

"We aspire to change here, but our liliang alone is small and insignificant for Somalia, where the situation is so erosive." After taking a sip of tea, Farah said thoughtfully: "At the same time, we also want to have foreign liliang to change here, we need the recognition of the international community, and someone needs to pass on the situation here." ”

Li Lan didn't speak, and the other party invited him, obviously for a purpose. Although he didn't feel malicious now, he wouldn't take the initiative to say anything until the other party had not said his purpose.

"Alas!" Farah sighed and slowly introduced: "What we in Somalia need most is not weapons, not that bringing countless weapons can change Somalia, on the contrary, Somalia, where guns are rampant, is even more detrimental to the peaceful development of Somalia." Even if weapons are more just for self-defense, they are a minority after all, and weapons have been used to kill since they were born.

We need real support even more. Medical drugs, science and technology, food. Disease afflicts us Somalis, and on average, only 2-3 out of every four children grow up successfully, and at least one of them dies of disease. ”

"As far as I know, many international organizations provide a lot of medical medicine and food to Somalia every year." Li Lan thought for a while and said.

"Yes, that's right, and we want to thank these organizations as well. Without the help of these organizations, I am afraid that it would be nice to have two thirds of the current population of Somalia. Every year the drought takes the lives of many of us.

There is a very cold question, what is the most in Somalia? I will answer, not guns, and naturally not pirates, but refugees. You may not see many refugee camps in Bossaso, but outside of Bossaso, other cities are full of camps. In Somalia, half of the population is in need. In other words, we have five million Somalis who are threatened with hunger at all times.

If disease is a butcher's knife, hunger is the real executioner. ”
