114 - Finding the Mysterious Cave
Hanam was born in a small village near Walvis Bay Harbor called Gorob.
For as long as he can remember, he has felt out of place with his siblings around him.
As a child, he had a strong curiosity and often pestered his parents to ask many inconsistencies such as why there was day and night, why there was wind, thunder and rain, what was on the other side of the sea, etc.
These questions lingered in the ears of the parents until they became impatient.
But later, when he grew up, he gradually realized that his parents did not know the answers to these questions......
However, it is not uncommon for the village of Gorob to come to the village with a group of strangely dressed people carrying huge satchels, who are different from their own skin color, not palm black, but strangely light, and speak a language they don't understand.
Some people have blue eyes, while others have black eyes just like themselves.
Hanam was curious about the people who came from the outside world, but the elders of the village were reluctant to let the children approach them, so every time Hanham saw someone coming to the village, he only looked at them from a distance.
Then, when Hanham was about 10 years old, one day he suddenly overheard the group of elders talking to the group of outsiders.
The conversation took place through a profession called "translator".
The reason why Hanam knows the profession of translator is because many people in the village say that if you can learn a foreign language, you can act as a translator in the village, and you will have a lot of money every day.
And the nano dollar is a very important thing.
On this day, according to the process, the interpreter brought a group of outsiders to the most knowledgeable elders in the village again.
"Nasara, the other party is greeting you, he is a guest from the Middle-earth District."
Nasara, is the name of the elder.
"From Middle-earth again? Where is the Middle Continent and how far away? The elder was a little surprised.
"The kind of big bird that can fly in the sky, the other party will have to sit for more than ten hours to come here!"
"Oh, that's farther away than Angola, right?"
"Yes, farther than Angola!"
"That's farther than Cameroon, right?"
"Farther than Cameroon!"
Cameroon, that's the furthest place known to Hanam, and indeed the whole village.
Soon, Hanham saw his elders move on to the next question, "What about the children, how many children do these outsiders have?" ”
"They say they don't have children!"
"Impossible, right?" Hanam's face was shocked when he saw his elder.
"Don't lie to you, they said that it costs a lot of money to raise a child in Zhongzhou District, so you have to think carefully before you dare to have a child!"
"How can it be, then who in their family will herd cattle, we have to have a lot of children, so that people can herd cattle, the more we have children, the more cattle we can raise, the more money we can have, how can we raise children a lot of money?"
Looking at the chattering and incomprehensible Nasara, and the funny looks of those outsiders, Hanam suddenly developed an emotion called shame.
He didn't know what that sentiment was, but he could read the eyes of the outsiders.
That kind of look was clearly a kind of pity, like the look in the eyes of the village chief when he looked at Lilia and the orphans in Panama.
For those outsiders, their village is like an orphan abandoned by the world......
From that day on, Hanham secretly made up his mind that sooner or later he would have to leave the village, the place his parents had never left in their lives.
Compared with his peers, Hanham has a spirit of exploration that will not stop until the goal is achieved.
However, Harnum did not expect that the opportunity would come so quickly.
When Hanham was eleven years old, his father's health deteriorated, and there were no surprises to the whole village.
Because there are people in the village who are destined not to live to be thirty years old.
Sure enough, within a few months my father had taken his last breath, and my mother died shortly after my father's death, leaving only Hanam with his three older brothers and two younger brothers.
The loss of parents makes the situation of the family even more tense.
In order not to burden his brothers, Hanam finally decided to leave the village where he had lived for eleven years......
……
Hanam's eyes slowly opened.
In the dark room, Hanam sat up slowly and exhaled softly.
For some reason, thirty years have passed, and I dream of the small village where I was born again, and of my parents whose faces have long been blurred......
I don't know, are my brothers and younger brothers okay now?
Looking at my watch, it was only three o'clock in the morning, and it was still a long time before dawn.
So, Hanam didn't turn on the light, but just lit a cigarette in the dark, silently experiencing the taste of loneliness.
This world is indeed wonderful, even though my parents are HIV-positive, but I was born a completely healthy child, and it is precisely because of this that I can still live in this world for so many years.
Not only survived, but Harnum also left Namibia through self-study and was admitted to the Polytechnic of the University of Cape Town in the Rainbow Country.
This is already the best university in the African region.
After graduating at the age of 30, Harnum joined Afex Electronic Technology in Cape Town as an electronics engineer.
Who would have thought that life is so wonderful?
Just as Hanam silently lamented the ups and downs of his life, the cigarette in his hand suddenly stopped.
Because he suddenly heard a screeching sound of unlocking on the door of the living room outside his bedroom.
"Click......"
The darker it is, the more sensitive human hearing will be, and although it is more than ten meters apart, the sound of unlocking the door of the living room is extremely clear.
Someone wants to break into their room!
Thief? Bandit? Or the girlfriend who just broke up the other day?
Just when Hanam's heart was flustered, he only heard a bang, and the door was kicked open directly!
Is the other party so bold?
Hanam's hand shook, and the cigarette butt fell directly on the bed, but at this time, Hanham didn't care about these at all, he quickly climbed out of bed, and was about to jump out of the window to escape!
However, before he could climb up the window, there was a sudden rush of messy footsteps behind him, and then a large rough hand grabbed Harnum by the back collar and ripped him off the windowsill!
"Don't kill me, I don't have any money!" Hanam only had time to let out a scream, and the next second his head suddenly hurt, and he immediately lost consciousness.
……
When a basin of cold water was poured on Hanam's face, Hanham quickly came to his senses.
With a burning pain in his skull, Harnum quickly looked around, only to find that he was tied to a chair, and even his mouth was stuffed into a foul-smelling rag.
In front of him, there was a strange room, where several black-clothed people stood on all sides of him, and in front of him, there was a somewhat rickety figure.
Kidnap?
Hanam's heart was cold, and he kept begging for mercy, but he could only make a whining sound.
"Let's all get out of here."
At this moment, the rickety figure suddenly spoke.
"Yes, Godfather."
The fierce men in black exited the room like a flock of sheep, and closed the door as they left.
The rickety figure walked in slowly, and at this time, Hanham suddenly noticed that the other party's face was a little familiar.
My God...... Isn't this the MP Dlamini, who often appears on the news?
Dlamini gently ripped the rag off Hanam's mouth before asking, "You are Hanam, born in the village of Gorob?" ”
"Your Excellency Councilor Dlamini!"
Hanamm hurriedly defended, "I was wrong, I swear that I will never insult you on the Internet again, although your proposal when you ran for mayor was too ridiculous, I finally voted for the current mayor, but if you continue to run for mayor next term, I will definitely vote for you, I just ask you to let me go......!" ”
Hanam spoke incoherently, and even he didn't know what he was saying.
"Enough!"
Dlamini snorted, "Let me ask you again, were you born in a village called Gorob?" ”
"Yes, I was born in the village of Gorob, but I am definitely not a spy sent by Namibia, I dare to swear in the name of God!" Hanam hurriedly argued.
"Damn, don't face God!"
Dlamini suddenly became furious, though the point of his anger puzzled Hanam.
As if sensing his gaffe, Dlamini quickly let out a sullen breath before continuing, "Since you're Hanam, it means we're not looking for the wrong person. ”
With that, he turned and walked over to his desk and gently opened an Apple laptop.
As soon as the computer was turned on, the laptop did not appear as the usual Windows interface, but the screen flashed, turning into a pure black background color, and a strange logo appeared on it.
Harnum was sure that it was not an Apple logo......
"Good morning, Mr. Harnum."
Just as Harnam was wondering, a person's voice suddenly came from the computer, and at the same time, a scribbled hand-drawn map appeared on the computer screen.
"Mr. Harnum, I beg your pardon for our presumptuousness, but I still need to ask where this map of yours came from."
"This map?"
Hanam was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw the contents of the map, he suddenly became frightened, "How is it possible! This picture was drawn a few years ago based on my childhood memories and has never been posted online, how did it end up in your hands? ”
"So, you drew this picture yourself?"
In the computer, the voice did not get angry at Hanam's answer, but patiently asked, "Are you sure that everything on the map is true?" ”
Hanam hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Dlamini staring at him, he quickly nodded, "Yes!" I found the hole when I was a child, I'm sure, and there were two or three other children my age who knew about it. ”
"Two or three other children your age know about the hole?"
The voice on the computer seemed to ponder for a moment, then continued, "Do you know the names of those children?" ”
"Sorry, I don't remember this......"
Hanammu hurriedly shook his head, "That was more than thirty years ago, and even I only have a vague impression, if it weren't for the memory of the hole in my dream, I would have forgotten the existence of that memory!" ”
"That's a pity."
The voice on the computer said lightly, and then the voice spoke again, "Mr. Dlamini, the delivery task is up to you, and I hope to see Hanham in person in a day." ”
"I see, Your Excellency Judah."
Dlamini nodded, looking respectful, "I've already arranged for someone to book a ticket, and he'll be meeting you soon." ”
"Wait!" Hearing the conversation between the two, Hanam suddenly said in horror, "Where are you going to transport me?" ”
"Of course, I'm back in Gorob Village."
The voice seemed to smile softly on the computer, and then the computer turned off automatically......
