Chapter 33: Brushing Your Teeth

In rural India, despite the hierarchical nature of the racial system, there is an exception that transcends this divide, and many ****** and Hindu men even enjoy it. It is said that for just a few rupees or a few handfuls of rice, they can grandly ask to make X with a "Dalit" woman. And it usually happens at sunset, when the villagers go out into the fields in droves to wash. In one survey, up to 40 percent of non-"Dalit" men expressed support for this ancient tradition.

Shakru had only heard of this tradition before, but he had never seen it, but the scene in front of him shocked him extremely much, what is the difference between this and Qiang X, and he even dared to publicly shout that he would burn down people's houses if he disagreed, but even if these two young men really burned down the house, it is estimated that in the end, it will be a symbolic loss of money.

Seeing that they had actually taken out their lighters, Shakru stepped forward and shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”

Hearing that someone was meddling, the two young men were about to open their mouths to curse, but when they turned to see Shakru, who was richly dressed and fair-skinned, they immediately recognized him, because they also worked in the tea plantation of Sangyi, so they threw down the wine bottle in their hands, knelt down and saluted: "Venerable Mr. Pandit, we have only come to woo Supra, and we have no intention of doing anything else!" ”

Shakru said angrily: "Courtship? When people have husbands, what love do you ask for? And is there such a courtship of yours? Burning someone's house as a threat to court? Also, the weather is so dry now, and there are so many trees and grass next to it, if you set fire to Mr. Sangyi's tea plantation, do you think he will whip you to death? What are you still doing? Don't hurry up and get out of here! As soon as the words fell, the two guys fled.

In fact, these two guys are not a high caste, just the lowest Shudra, but compared to the Dalit who is low to the dirt, even if they are high, they can only reflect their superiority in front of the untouchables, so the most ruthless people who really oppress the untouchables are not those high-caste people, but these Sudras who are submissive in front of the high-caste and dare not breathe, which shows that the caste issue has been deeply engraved into everyone's blood.

After the two guys left, the people in the house dared to come out, and after some understanding, Shakru learned that the man's name was Sarah, and his job was to skin the dead cows and sheep. Every day, he would pull the carcasses of the animals on his pedal tricycle, skin them off, and throw the carcasses to the dingos around him. After a cursory initial disposition of the skins, he sold the skins and bones to a local dealer. In this way, he can earn 500 rupees (about $11) a month.

Sarah's wife, Supra, is engaged in another "unclean" job - delivering babies to the village mothers. This may seem strange. However, conservative Hindus regard women who deliver their children with contempt. This is because the midwife comes into contact with the placenta. Because Supra is very slim, he is often harassed.

Because of the great difference in caste, the two of them seemed to cower in front of Shakru, and seeing them like this, Shakru had no interest in continuing to talk, so he walked back, and next to Sanyi's house, he saw that Guta, who had been a human mule for himself two days ago, had just climbed up a neem tree outside the courtyard, and after breaking off a twig from the tree, he slid down the tree again. Then he paced up and down the doorway, peeling off the bark. Once he has finished peeling, he starts to knock the branches with his front teeth to soften the ends into a fibrous brush, and then brushes back and forth between his back teeth and gums. Only then did he realize that Guta was brushing his teeth, and after brushing his teeth, he split the branches in the middle, began to scrape the tongue coating with the green part inside, and finally threw the branches into the nearby weeds.

At first, Shakru was puzzled by the way poor people in India brushed their teeth with branches, but when he asked Mr. Sangyi, he learned that neem contained a mild bactericidal substance, so it became the toothbrush of millions of poor Indians, and even the middle class used toothpaste made from it.

Soon a month passed, and before I knew it, Shakru had begun to get used to this kind of life of opening his mouth for food, stretching out his hands, going out to ride a human meat mule, and going home to serve and bathe little Lori.

By the way, here I have to explain, in the countryside because there is no running water, there is naturally no water heater, and the bath is still the most traditional large wooden barrel, every time Shakru needs to take a bath, as long as he tells Su Lan in advance, he can take a hot bath after about an hour.

The only thing that makes Sha Keru feel a little uncomfortable is that every time Su Lan's little girl will come to serve him to take a bath, and she just wears a very thin Sally to serve him, at first he drove Su Lan away, and then slowly got used to it, anyway, he is not a gentleman or Lolicon, and he will not have any interest in Su Lan, a little girl who is completely undeveloped.

But even so, Shakru felt that his present situation was very wrong, that he was really going to fall in the long run, and that he had been recuperating long enough, so he resigned himself to Mr. Say, and planned to return to New Delhi.

Knowing that Shakru was leaving, Sang Yi naturally tried his best to stay, saying that he couldn't take care of himself, and Shakru also thanked him again and again and invited Sang Yi and his wife to have time to come to New Delhi as guests.

After returning to New Delhi, Shakru went to visit Ashfakyu with some souvenirs and gifts brought by Mr. Sang Yi to Tsaklu, and when he saw Shakru coming, Ashfakyu said very happily: "Mr. Pandit, how are you doing with Sang Yi during this time?" ”

"It's very comfortable, the air is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and Mr. Sanyi is very welcoming and very well taken care of."

Ashfakyu asked meaningfully, "Do you feel that you can only truly enjoy the life of the nobility in the countryside?" ”

Shakru replied with a wry smile: "That's true, living there is a real aristocratic life, and there are some things that you can't enjoy even if you have money in New Delhi, but it's hard for those who have just gone to adapt for a while." ”

Ashfakyu also sighed: "That's true, I didn't adapt to it when I went for the first time, but I got used to it after a few more visits, and even after a long time, you won't want to come back, only in the countryside can we truly reflect the glory of our Brahmins, but this is not good for our future development." ”
