The plane stopped at New Delhi International Airport, and Fang Ze thanked the crew and stepped off the plane alone.

The languages of India are complex, and although the constitution stipulates that the official languages are Hindi and English, each state can make its own official language because the situation is different.

According to statistics, there are a total of 29 official languages in India, and if people from two countries that do not speak the official language speak each other and have a higher level of education, they generally choose to use English.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the centuries of British colonization, which made English widely spread, communication between Indian states would have been really problematic.

But even so, if you come to India, you don't necessarily understand what other people are saying if you know a little English.

Because India has a long history of using English, Indians are used to mixing English with their native language. In particular, the northern Hindi-speaking states often mix English into their daily language, and they have created a lot of English vocabulary in their long-term use of English.

So unless you're proficient in both English and Hindi, you might as well give up the idea of communicating with ordinary Indians.

And it's worth saying that Indian English pronunciation is really bad.

Before you know Indians, you may think that Neon people have poor English pronunciation, but after you know Indians, you will think, wow, Neon people's English pronunciation is so kind.

Of course, if you have Indians as friends, don't say to their face that their English pronunciation is terrible, because as a former colony of the British, Indians have always believed that their English pronunciation is the most standard, and the American pronunciation is more country than them.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Fang Ze came, which is equivalent to about one o'clock in the morning in India, so the staff was basically invisible at the airport, but fortunately, it was not difficult to find a place to go to the e-visa. I pressed my fingerprint to pass the e-visa, knocked on the seal and left.

Below the New Delhi International Airport is the subway station, it is night, the subway has been suspended, Fang Ze walked straight from the right passage to the ground.

Outside the departure hall, when Fang Ze came out, he saw a Chinese and two Indians waiting for someone there.

The Chinese man sat on a small bench playing on his phone, while the two Indians looked around lazily, wondering if they were looking at who had come out of the exit or if they were thinking.

If Fang Ze hadn't seen one of the Indians holding a sign with 'Fang Rule' written on it, he would have almost thought that these three people were not waiting for him.

"Hello. Fang Ze walked over and shouted to the Chinese who was sitting on the small bench playing with his mobile phone.

"Well, who called me?" The Chinese heard someone speak, and was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was his native language, and when he looked up, he saw Fang Ze.

"You are?"

"Rules. Fang Ze replied in Chinese, and then said to this old brother, "What do you call it?"

"My name is Dong Chen, just call me Lao Dong. The man hurriedly stood up and said.

Lao Dong was a middle-aged man who looked to be almost forty, his whole face was shrewd, and after he stood up, he quickly squeezed out a warm smile from his face and said, "I thought it would be a while before you arrived, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Didn't eat in the evening, I brought a little fruit and bread. ”

"I've eaten it. Fang Ze said to Lao Dong, "Let's go to the place where we live first, I have something to ask you." ”

"Okay, okay. Lao Dong stood up, pushed the Indian next to him, and said in Hindi, "What are you doing in a daze, quickly help someone get the luggage." ”

The Indian heard Lao Dong's words, and hurriedly reached over to take off Fang Ze's backpack, Fang Ze waved his hand and said in broken English, "No, no." ”

"It's okay, you let them take it. When Lao Dong heard Fang Ze's English level, his eyes rolled for a moment, and then he said to Fang Ze, "These two people are servants in my family, if you don't let them work, they won't feel at ease." ”

"Okay. Fang Ze thought for a while, the watch was wearing on his wrist, and the five poison beads were close to Fang Ze's pocket, and there was indeed something important in the backpack, so he handed the backpack to the Indian, and then said thank you.

"Go this way. Lao Dong stretched out his hand, and then pulled Fang Ze forward, one of the two Indians was holding Fang Ze's bag, and the other was holding a small bench.

"I heard Sha Ge say that you are here to find someone in India. ”

"Yes. Fang Ze said, "After you go back in a while, please tell me all the news you know." ”

"That's fine. Lao Dong nodded and said, "But it seems that you don't know English, so it is difficult to communicate with others in India, so I need to find you a translator." ”

"If there is a reliable one, you can recommend one to me. Fang Ze said to Lao Dong, "When will it arrive at the earliest." ”

"I'm afraid it will take a day or two to find it temporarily, but I can follow you for a few days, and it's not a big problem. ”

"Thank you. Fang Ze thanked Lao Dong.

"It's okay, it's okay, Sha Ge's friend is also my friend, there are few Chinese in Delhi, and we must help each other." ”

Listening to Lao Dong's words in his ears, Fang Ze's eyes looked around, observing New Delhi International Airport.

Before coming here, Fang Ze had heard a lot of complaints about New Delhi International Airport, and it sounded like he had found a piece of land to pave the runway.

In fact, on the ground, New Delhi International Airport is not as dilapidated as it is said on the Internet. In terms of infrastructure alone, although it is not as good as the first-tier cities in China, it is only a little worse than the airports in the second-tier cities.

Of course, this is almost just talking about the infrastructure, in fact, the biggest reason why the new Delhi international airport looks dilapidated is that the sanitation is a little bad, there are stains on the walls in many places, but it is generally good, the airport is about to go out, and there are two elephant sculptures, which are very well made.

New Delhi International Airport didn't know why billboards were rarely seen, and when Fang Ze just came out and passed by the duty-free shops, he found that there were not many duty-free shops.

Fang Ze was observing the New Delhi International Airport, and Lao Dong suddenly asked Fang Zedao, "By the way, when you came out, did you exchange rupees at the currency exchange office at the airport?"

"Nope. Fang Ze shook his head.

"That's good. Lao Dong said to Fang Ze, "If you want to exchange rupees, you can just find me directly, we can transfer money online, which is cheaper than the official price." Don't go to an exchange office, where you will be charged a fee whether you are exchanging US dollars, renminbi for rupees or rupees for renminbi dollars. ”

"That's right. Fang Ze nodded to indicate that he understood. "By the way, I heard that the law and order in India is not good, do you have any attention? ”

"Delhi is a mess indeed. As he spoke, Lao Dong pointed to a car parked outside the airport, and gave the car key to the Indian who was holding Fang Ze's bag, and the Indian hurriedly carried the bag and the key to drive.

"But there's no need to worry too much about being safe, especially for men. Lao Dong explained to Fang Ze, "In Delhi, as long as you are not a woman and go out at night, you generally don't need to worry. There are mainly more thieves and swindlers here, and there are very few direct robberies. Generally, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke the powerful, nothing will happen. Compared to the black community in the United States, Delhi is a fairly safe place. ”

As soon as Lao Dong said this, Fang Ze became worried.

After all, if Senior Sister Fan and the three of them hadn't been robbed, then only Senior Sister Fan herself might have caused some trouble.

After getting into the car, Fang Ze's heart began to become heavy.

"It's fine. Lao Dong seemed to guess Fang Ze's thoughts, patted Fang Ze's shoulder and said, "The Delhi police have been helping to find people in the past few days, as long as the money is in place, this group of people is still very good at work, you can rest assured." ”

"Hmm. Fang Ze nodded briefly, and then watched the car start.

It is only about 2,000 meters away from the Delhi airport, and it is difficult to see the lights on the roads on both sides.

"There are a lot of slums in Delhi. Lao Dong said to Fang Ze, "If you want to go to the slums to find people in the future, remember to bring the locals." Although there are usually no accidents, there will inevitably be some hooligans. ”

"By the way, do you have rhinitis or respiratory problems?" asked Lao Dong again.

"No, what's wrong?"

"It's good if you don't have it. Lao Dong pointed outside and said, "The smog in New Delhi is very serious, if there is, it is safer to wear a mask." ”

"Is it serious to have an imperial capital?" Fang Ze smiled, "I'm from the imperial capital." ”

"When Delhi was severe, the air index rarely went below 900. Lao Dong said to Fang Ze, "So if there is really a problem, you still wear a mask, in terms of haze, compared to Delhi, the imperial capital is still completely defeated." ”

Fang Ze and Lao Dong chatted sentence by sentence, I don't know how long it took, the car stopped outside a small villa, and the Indian servant pushed the car door and asked Fang Ze and Lao Dong to come down.

"This is my home, you can stay here for the next few days. Lao Dong pointed to the house and said to Fang Ze.

After Fang Ze and Lao Dong entered the house, they found that on the sofa in the living room, there was a young Indian woman lying half-lying, and there was an Indian maid next to the young woman.

"You're already here. The young woman was woken up, opened her confused eyes and looked at Lao Dong and Fang Ze, and hurriedly said in English, "You see that I am late for this sleep." I was going to wait for you. ”

"Didn't you go to sleep first. Lao Dong looked at this young Indian woman waiting here and seemed a little angry, but this anger was more like a concern.
