Chapter 309: A harsh environment

Li Bin appeared in the main hall of Chief Cook in a dark red plaid with Xi Yun. The function of this main hall is similar to the combination of Chinese living room and dining room. It is very spacious. People sit around the floor beside the fire pit in the middle of the house. The atmosphere is very good, and it is somewhat like the way some Chinese nomadic peoples are entertaining guests.

Of course, the fire pit in the middle of the house will not be lit. Only when a very noble guest comes at home will the owner light the fire pit. Of course, the lighting at the head of the Cook family will not be based on... the bonfires emitted in the fire pit are a very luxurious steam lamp. The light emitted by the steam lamp that gave enough pressure is even comparable to a 200-watt incandescent light bulb, illuminating the house brightly.

The fire pit is for barbecue food. When Li Bin came in, a fat sheep on the fire pit was grilled with oil. The aroma of barbecue filled every corner of the room. Li Bin, who had not eaten for a day, kept swallowing his saliva.

Cook laughed and stood up with a few prestigious old men in the clan to greet him, hugged Li Bin intimately, and kept praising Li Bin for being very handsome after wearing a cotton robe, very much like their hospitality Dilmen. Xi Yun behind Li Bin couldn't help but burst out laughing, as if Li Bin was not as dark as Africans.

Li Bin bowed with his hands and shook hands with the elders in the clan and hugged them for a while. He was noisy and polite for more than ten minutes. Then, the Clan Chief Cook took Li Bin to sit on the chairman with him.

In Somalia, women are not qualified to sit with men, but Xi Yun is favored by the head of Cook because she is Li Bin's "wife" and even more because of Xi Yun's identity as a doctor assistant.

Xi Yun was arranged to sit next to Li Bin. When she saw the ambiguous smiles on the faces of Shi Mingyou and others with the corners of her eyes, her face turned red again.

Xi Yun is a relatively introverted girl. Now she has done such a bold thing for the first time. She always feels as if people's eyes can penetrate her appearance and see her heart. She is also confused for a moment, and her heart is pounding. Her eyes no longer dare to sweep around except the small space in front of her. She even sneaks when looking at Li Bin.

Cook was very attentive to present camel milk tea to them. Of course, camel milk tea was made of camel milk. When she smelled the fishy smell, Xi Yun couldn't help but wrinkle her nose slightly, took it with her polite hands and said thank you. It would be extremely difficult to get her to deliver this thing to her mouth.

Luo Pu, who had been grilling the fat sheep, waved the sharp dagger in his hand, and picked a large plate of creaking barbecue from the fat sheep's ribs. He held it with both hands and bowed to Cook. The Cook took it with both hands and bowed and handed it to Li Bin.

This is the etiquette of the Deer people, and the best meat is presented to the most honorable guests by the patriarch.

Li Bin hurriedly knelt down with his hands and took the plate of meat. The food handed over by the clan leader cannot be refused. Li Bin still knows this most basic etiquette. Li Bin said a lot of words of gratitude, and Cook interrupted Li Bin with a smile:

"Mr. Shi, you are foreigners and don't need to do it according to our customs. Just follow your habits. Even if there is any conflict with our customs, it doesn't matter, ha..."

Li Bin smiled and looked at the activated patriarch, thinking that it would be great if your views on the relationship between men and women were also activated in this way, so why would I make such a big mistake?

Thinking of this, Li Bin couldn't help but secretly glance at Xi Yun sitting beside him, but he didn't expect that he would meet Xi Yun's gaze that was dodging and looking over. As soon as the two eyes came into contact, both of them jumped away as if they were electrocuted, and looked at other places in a little panic.

At this time, his mind was calm, and the relationship between Li Bin and Xi Yun became awkward. Conscience and morality did not allow them to come together, but the attraction in the dark tried hard to pull them together, bringing them a kind of joy like an affair.

Until everyone had food placed in front of them, Cook took up the banana wine in front of him and stood up, and gave a toast to the people sitting around him:

"Thank you, Allah for sending his kind Chinese friends to our Deer tribe. Although I have never been to that mysterious Eastern country, I know that your nation is like our Somalia and like our Deer people, are a very ancient nation. We are all the people of Allah. Come on, friends, cheer for our gathering."

I have to say that the speech of the Cook is very contagious. Cooperating with the colorful expressions on his face and the powerful movements on his hands, it is easy for people to feel good about him. Even Shi Mingyou and others who couldn't understand the speech of the Cook, they knew what the Cook wanted to express. They cooperated to pick up the wine glass in front of them and stood up, looking very focused.

Somalia is rich in bananas and is known as the sweetest banana in the world. It is not only big and thin, but also has a particularly strong aroma. It is the main export crop in Somalia. Since the war turmoil in recent years, Somalia's trade activities have dropped sharply, and bananas can only be dried into dried bananas by ordinary people and stored, becoming another major food for them.

The wine made with bananas is basically not a wine. It has a low alcohol content, which is comparable to rice wine in southern China. What is better than rice wine is that the aroma of banana wine is very strong. For those who don’t have a lot of alcohol but want to drink a few sips, banana wine is undoubtedly a good choice.

Everyone took a sip of banana wine very politely, and then the patriarch Cook casually called everyone to sit down again. It was not until this time that the banquet officially began.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very relaxed, and everyone was eating casually and talking. Of course, what Li Bin was most concerned about was when his group would be able to go to Kenya with the help of Chief Cook, but now that he has only treated a patient like Hassan, this topic is naturally difficult to mention, and even if he asked, he knew that Chief Cook would not agree. He sent the doctor away after he had only finished treating his son, so he, the leader, would have done too incompetent.

When Li Bin asked about the situation of the injured in the Deer tribe, the eyes of the Cook tribe leader and the elders became urgent. This was what they were most concerned about now. Hearing Cook's introduction, the Deer tribes scattered in various villages were injured by about 40 people, and there were no wounded in life.

Li Bin lowered his head and began to think, and the fingers on his right hand habitually started to gently tap the short table in front of him.

Accompanied by Li Bin's subtle knocking, the room slowly calmed down.

Li Bin thought for a long time before then he raised his head, turned to the Cook, and suggested to the Cook that he would arrange for people to free up a courtyard to gather the wounded together, so that he could treat him and control the condition of the wounded at any time.

Cook naturally agreed with a smile on his face. He thought that Li Bin would treat some wounded people casually and would urge him to escort them to Kenya. Unexpectedly, Li Bin would propose to treat all the wounded people himself. This was indeed an unexpected surprise and he also had a perfect explanation for his tribe members.

The second request made by Li Bin made the Cook tribe embarrassed. Li Bin suggested that a large amount of Western medicine and medical supplies were needed, and asked whether the Cook tribe could find a way to solve it.

Somalia is the country with the worst medical environment in the world. In the capital Mogadishu, there is only one public hospital and a few private clinics. The lack of medical treatment is particularly prominent. Most private clinics use local herbs to treat patients. Kismay, the second largest city in Somalia, is closest to here, and there is not even a public hospital. Even the few private clinics are worshipped by various ethnic groups as local gods, and their treatment is no less than that of the patriarchs of all ethnic groups. Doctors in remote rural areas like the Dir people live in. After the Dir people are injured or sick, they have to seek help from the witch doctors in the clan.

Although the educational environment in Somalia is backward, it has entered the 21st century after all. People still have a certain understanding of the outside world. They also know that the witch doctors left by their ancestors are far behind this era, but they have no choice.

In the room, there was almost no sound except for the squeaking barbecue in the fire pit and the occasional crackling sound of firewood bursting. People even stopped chewing.

With the sighs of Cook and the elders, people's eyes were all on Li Bin's face.

Everyone knows that Li Bin's medicines are now in the small first aid kit, and there are only a few drugs that apply to that small first aid kit. When these drugs are used up, Li Bin's treatment action will be over. Although Li Bin knew that those drugs could not cure a few people, why did he still ask the Cuck leader to gather all the wounded? What are his plans?

Seeing everyone's urgent gaze, Li Bin smiled.

He could even laugh when he was in such a bad environment.

Among these people, Shi Mingyou and Zhang Rui, who are more familiar with Li Bin, felt at the same time when they saw Li Bin's smile. They knew that no matter what Mr. Shi was planning to do now, he must have already grasped his victory.
