――――The following text――――

Since Muhammadi agreed to join, Li Lan's mood also became very happy, and with interest, Li Lan continued to take Muhammadi to visit everywhere.

The two walked and chatted, the atmosphere was very good, and Muhammadi also swept away his previous preoccupied appearance, and made a lot of jokes along the way.

"My friend, can you take me to see the training of the soldiers, I'm curious." Talking and chatting, Muhammadi felt that since he chose to stand with Li Lan, he should know more about this place.

"No problem, follow me." Li Lan nodded and did not refuse.

The two soon arrived at the barracks closest to the main base, but before they could enter the barracks, Muhammadi was attracted by the busy soldiers in front of the barracks.

Not far from the barracks, there was already a small pile of wet dirt that looked like it had just been dug up, and several soldiers were shoveling the dirt onto a nearby truck. Next to it is a crater on the ground with a diameter of nearly two meters.

"What are they doing, digging wells?" Muhammadi asked, puzzled.

Li Lan nodded and said, "Yes, because there will be more and more people here in the future, not only to solve the problem of eating, but also to solve the problem of drinking water." You know, my friend, you guys are missing so much here that I have to start from scratch. There's so much to prepare. And I can't focus on that, so I need your help to reduce my work. ”

Muhammadi touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Yes! There are just too many things we are missing. It's a lot of work to make it all up. ”

"I believe that with careful planning, it won't take long for everything to change." Li Lan said.

The two walked as they talked, and soon came to the well. Like the engineers before them, these busy soldiers saw Li Lan's arrival, put down their work, saluted Li Lan, and then immediately began to work.

From this small action, Muhammadi once again saw the basic qualities of these soldiers, as well as their attitude towards Li Lan.

At this time, the well seems to be almost dug, because the soil brought up is beginning to carry water, this is not the land at the foot of the mountain that will be waterlogged all year round, but the land in the desert, and there is no rain a few times a year in East Africa, the soil carries water, which means that there is an underground water source here.

Drinking water may not be a big problem in Somalia, but in the desert areas of southern Africa, people can die at any time if they don't have water for two or three days. However, this is not to say that Somalia has an abundance of water and can only maintain basic drinking water requirements. In Somalia, there are only two rivers that have not been dry for many years, but both are in the south, nearly 1,000 kilometers away from where Li Lan is now.

Even in the desert areas of northern Somalia, the most basic drinking water is available, and as long as there is not a drought even during the rainy season, there is little shortage of drinking water.

There is an iron frame on the top of the wellhead, and a rope is hooked through the pulley to hook a small bucket covered with dirt and slowly hang down the well. At the well, all three soldiers were wearing only a pair of pants, covered in sun-dried mud, and next to the soldiers, there were several oxygen tubes and helmets with lights. A little farther away, there are also neatly stacked piles of curved wood chips with nails.

There were also two soldiers beside the iron frame who were constantly pulling ropes, and every moment they would pull up a bucket of dirt. Then put the empty bucket down, and so on. There is also a water pump next to it, which will pump out the stagnant water in the well from time to time.

The approaching two men avoided the busy soldiers, stood on the edge of the well, and peeked into the well, and suddenly felt a bottomless feeling. If it weren't for the lights on the heads of the soldiers working at the bottom of the well, it would not have been possible to see how deep the well was, it was all pitch black. The walls of the deeper shafts are reinforced with rows of wooden planks to prevent water seepage and collapse.

"How many meters have you dug now?" Li Lan asked the resting soldiers.

"Report to the chief, I started digging the day before yesterday, and I have been digging for three whole days now, and there have been traces of water since yesterday, and this morning I have dug to the seepage position, and the depth of the well is currently thirty meters."

Li Lan nodded, because he didn't have the machinery to dig wells, so he could only use the most primitive manual labor. Since there is very little rain in the East of the year, it needs to be dug very deep, so the necessary lighting and oxygen pipes are not missing at all. Moreover, deep well work consumes too much physical strength, and people need to be replaced every hour. And every once in a while, you need to put the oxygen cylinder down and replace the oxygen cylinder that consumes about the same.

"How deep do you need to dig?" Li Lan asked again.

"According to the surveys of the engineers, at least another 10 meters or so need to be excavated, depending on the situation, generally if the water output is very large, it can be stopped."

"Very good, don't be too lucky, if you see signs of collapse, don't dig anymore." Li Lan said.

"Yes."

Because the mobilized soldiers could only speak Mandarin and Somali, Li Lan spoke to them in Mandarin. Naturally, Muhammadi next to him did not understand anything. However, he did not ask Li Lan and the soldiers what they were talking about.

After asking the soldiers a few questions, Li Lan asked Muhammadi again: "My friend, do you live in your village with well water?" ”

Muhammadi nodded and said, "Yes, since I remember things when I was a child, we have relied on the water from the well in the village. Even during the dry rainy season, the water has never been cut off. Even though I have drunk the water from that well all my life, I can still feel the sweetness of the water. ”

"The moon is always the circle of home." Li Lan couldn't help but sigh, thinking of his distant motherland, he didn't know when he would be able to set foot on the land of his hometown again, and what it would be like to feel at that time. Perhaps it was the sudden emotion and homesickness, Li Lan couldn't help but ask Muhammadi: "We have known each other for a month, this time has changed us from strangers to friends, I am curious about your past, tell me about your family, okay?" Until now, I only know that you have a younger brother who is a foreign country, and I don't know anything else. ”

In fact, Li Lan has always been very interested in Muhammadi's family, because he is the only one in the family, and he has never seen his wife and children, nor has he seen any other friends, as if he has always been single.

According to Muhammadi's family property, there would be no financial problems at all, and there would be no problems such as not being able to marry a wife. In Li Lan's view, he is also a person with a story.

Hearing Li Lan's words, Muhammadi seemed to suddenly fall into a trance, and then said with a sad face: "Actually, I have almost forgotten the past, when I was a child, I had many brothers and sisters, and my father and mother also loved us very much. I am the eldest son and the only heir in my family.

Fifteen years ago, when I was eighteen years old, it was the day I married my wife, and it was supposed to be a very festive day. However, right next to my house, a fierce armed conflict broke out, and many armed men broke into my house, and my father and mother, as well as my two younger siblings, who were less than 10 years old, fell to the ground at gunpoint.

My sixteen-year-old brother Mohammousin could not resist taking up arms and shooting at the armed men, who fought back and fell beside me, and I can still vividly remember his eyes, which were gradually losing their lustre.

In that conflict, Zuihou only survived my wife and my twelve-year-old third brother. Since then, I have inherited everything from my father, land, camels and livestock.

Three years ago, my wife accompanied my two sons to the city, and I haven't seen them since, when a car bombing took their lives. I love my wife and my two sons. ”

"I'm sorry my friend, I shouldn't have brought up your sad past." Seeing Muhammadi with a sad face in his remembrance, Li Lan said apologetically.

Muhammadi shook his head, raised his head, tried not to let the tears that were about to overflow his eyes remain, and said: "No, this is the first time I have told someone about my past, and now I feel much more relaxed. The pain in my heart has made me more aware of the value of peace, so I believe in you, my friend. I hope that in my lifetime, Somalia will be completely peaceful, and that what happened to me will not be repeated in the face of future generations, so that the man-made tragedy will be far away from the Somali people who have suffered so much. ”

"Yes, everything will be fine!"
