Shakru, who felt a little more comfortable, suddenly turned his head and asked Zeta beside him: "Prijin, don't you really think this place is dirty and disgusting now?" ”

Zeta thought for a long time and then said, "From the point of view of common sense, it is true that the Ganges is difficult to say hygienic, but this does not affect the status of the Ganges in the minds of Hindus, on the contrary, it strengthens their faith. Looking at the curling green smoke of burning corpses nearby, thinking that I would also turn into such an invisible thing, I would inevitably sigh at the disillusionment of life. This makes them more and more religious, and they hope to cleanse their sins from the past world and let their souls enter the cycle of life safely.

Moreover, Hindus believe that the Ganges is self-cleansing, believing that only the water of the Ganges River in the world does not breed infectious bacteria, so they drink the Ganges water here with confidence and take the water home in containers to spray themselves on some solemn days. Since the whole focus is on the afterlife, to the point of ignoring the surroundings of this life, the Ganges seems to me to be a bit like a sacred, but not so ornate, shabby robe. ”

Zeta's words were not unreasonable, but Shakru still couldn't understand and accept it, because of this blow, so the next place of Buddha's epiphany, Sarnath, was also not interested, so he hurriedly left Vallennasi.

When he returned to New Delhi, it was just in time for Ashfakyu to come to him to discuss the next batch of orders, and after listening to what happened to him, he laughed and said: "Little Shaklu, you are still too young to accept this, it is normal, otherwise, a friend of mine is in Assam, the scenery there is very good, and the folk customs are also simple, or I will introduce you to play there for a few days, just to relieve your mood." ”

Originally, Shakru wanted to refuse Ashfakyu's invitation, but as soon as he heard Assam, he immediately thought of the famous Assam black tea and Assam milk tea, and thought that it would be good to go there to see it, and to experience the real village life in India.

Assam, India's northeastern state, has been clamoring for two years to secede from India and join China. Mr. Sang Yi Wias, who was in charge of receiving him, was the largest landowner in the local area, and was also an important customer and raw material supplier of Ashfakyu, so the personal relationship between the two was very good, so he gladly accepted Ashfakyu's entrustment, and promised to do his best to take care of Shakru.

Because there is no local airport, so Shakru was forced to take a train for a while, Shakru has always thought that the railway station in New Delhi is already the best in the world, but when he arrived here, he found that the New Delhi railway station is actually quite good, the station hall here, how the scene is a "mess" word! The flow of people and large luggage is enough to make the small ticket hall noisy and crowded, and there are many elderly people sleeping or sitting on the ground, covered with dust and dust, with dull eyes, allowing others to rub against them, as if they were a pile of dispensable garbage.

Fortunately, Shakru has the status of a Brahmin, and can buy a ticket for the first class, although this class is not luxurious, but at least it is clean and clean, because this kind of ticket is not something you can buy with money, only the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and other high-castes and foreigners can buy it, and the low-caste can't buy it even if they have money (the same is true for airplanes, low-class people can't take first class), of course, foreigners have to pay several times more to buy tickets.

India's trains and railway stations are world-famous, not only the train is full of people, even the top of the train has a lot of people, and even the car is hung outside a lot of people, this scene I believe many friends have seen in pictures or reports, and therefore India has been nicknamed the nation, but this is because the Indian train is very slow, if according to the speed of the Chinese train, this pile of Ah San would have been thrown down.

It is also strange that Indian trains, especially those in Mumbai, do not have doors and no fences on the platforms, so it is not uncommon to see trains jumping off the train before they have stopped, or the train has started and is still running on the platform to catch up. Whenever someone is chasing a train, the people hanging at the door of the train will reach out one after another, hoping to pull it. It's not just men who do this, but many women do the same. In particular, there are people who cross the railway before and after the train enters or leaves the station, and then jumps on the opposite train in time. Because of this dangerous maneuver, 6,000 people die on the railways in the Mumbai area every year.

Many people have questioned trains in India. Why can't you put doors on trains, and why can't you put fences on platforms to prevent passengers from crossing the railroad? The people of India will tell you that the train deliberately does not have a door so that the train can run on time and efficiently. If the Mumbai train had anti-pinch doors like the subways in many major Western cities, the train would not leave the platform for half an hour in a hyper-congested situation. At present, the dangerous scene of everyone jumping up and down has been the optimal design summarized by countless Indians for many years.

It was not only Mr. Sang Yi Wiyas who had made an appointment at the station to greet Shakru in advance, but also his younger brother Guta Wias, Sang Yi is the largest landlord and tea plantation owner in Shawa Village, and Guta is the director of the largest private hospital here. The next day she found someone to make a silk sari and wore it to visit almost all her relatives and friends

As for cigarettes, it is because very few people in India smoke in public places, and they smoke almost always secretly in the corner, and they are not as free and easy as they are when they are on the street, as if they feel more ashamed of smoking than peeing. In New Delhi, many cigarette dealers sell cigarettes at their roots, one is cheap, the other is inconspicuous, and many people like that kind of chewing tobacco, that is, the betel lang is wrapped in leaves and the various spices selected, which are astringent and bitter to chew, and the whole mouth is red, and even the teeth are dyed red.

Probably very satisfied with the silk brought by Shakru, so Mrs. Sang specially assigned a maid to serve Shakru, and at first Shakru didn't take it seriously, but within an hour he collapsed!
