Chapter 65: The Girl's Flower Coffin
At five o'clock in the morning, the train arrived in the capital, New Delhi.
The steam emitted from the locomotive seemed to be a fog, and for a time it was difficult to distinguish the heavens and the earth, but it was soon replaced by a human figure. People were congested at the door of the carriage and couldn't get out, it turned out that there was a dead man's flower-decorated coffin stuck at the door and couldn't get out. When the eyes shifted to the fourth car, it was shocking, and it turned out that there were not only one coffin, but a total of seven. The flower coffins of this ethnic minority are large at one end and small at the other, so it is easy to come in and difficult to get out.
Helplessly, the exquisite floral coffin was not wanted and left to the railway company. The dead man had to be carried out of the floral coffin. Zhu Xuanlong was more interested in this matter, and of course, he was more interested in the deceased Zhu Xuanlong in the flower-decorated coffin.
The deceased inside the first coffin was an old man, his head wrapped around a light blue strip of cloth. When the second to third coffins were opened, there was a fragrance wafting out, and Zhu Xianlong was stunned when he saw it, and there were two beautiful girls in the coffin, both of whom were wearing white saris with light gray patterns.
Zhu Xianlong wondered, although they died, those eyes were still staring at the boss, as if they were smiling. Zhu Xianlong wanted to reach out and wipe the girl's face, that is, let the girl close her eyes and rest in peace.
At this moment, the mother of the deceased said, "Don't be there, young man, help me carry the two dead daughters to the window, and I will continue outside? I'm alone, and if you're kind, help me get my two daughters near the houseboat, where some of my friends from the past, and I'll send them to Hissar in ox carts for burial. β
Zhu Xianlong thought to himself, it's troublesome, and he's greedy again. So he nodded helplessly: "It's good." Anyway, my girlfriend and I are going to find a hotel to stay. β
The mother of the deceased placed the white cloth inside the coffin on the ground. Zhu Xianlong helped to pick up the two deceased girls with white cloths. The girl's mother cried that the seven coffins on the train, including her two daughters, had organized an expedition to Mount Serre and that they should not drink from the nearby rock fountains.
Zhu Xianlong comforted the deceased's mother, and then, when he looked up to see if he could get out of the station, he found out. There are people everywhere on the platform and at the exit. Come to think of it, the carriage that could only hold 130 people turned out to be twice as many people, and in addition, the top of each carriage was full of people.
Mengzidie thought that Zhu Xianlong had nothing to do, so she chatted with the family of the deceased there, so she hurriedly asked him to get in the car. After Zhu Xianlong heard this, he got on the train and waited with Mengzidie for the exit to be smooth before going out. The two of them looked at the crowd at the exit of the station, especially the people waiting to leave the station on the platform, and looked at a large number of black heads.
Mengzidie said helplessly: "We don't have to rush out. There are too many people. See, the parcels and boxes in their hands are many, large, and heavy. Look there! There are also people holding bicycles, chickens, ducks, bamboo baskets, .......... Look, there are men who actually hold their women in the air, this scene is really unprecedented. β
Zhu Xianlong hurriedly said: "What is this? We're better than them! We're carrying dead people out of the platform!"
Mengzidie frowned and said suspiciously, "You don't have a problem, right?
Zhu Xuanlong nodded and said: "The deceased's mother seems to have no relatives at home, and her two daughters went on a volcano expedition with their classmates and a teacher, and they died of poisoning. Looks like you're going to have to help out later?"
Mengzidie pondered for a moment, and said reluctantly: "This kind of thing is only done by you." I think that you have promised others, how can I object to it? β
After Zhu Xianlong said some sorry words, he stood up, stuck his head out the car window and sighed: "Oh my God! Why is it still crowded? Like tuna in the sea, like penguins living in Antarctica!"
Mengzidie smiled, "Pay attention to your appearance. Look at you like a turtle, what kind of head do you retract, what nonsense? Their hands are in a V-shape, and they are all wrapped on top of them. How about they resemble gorillas in the tropical jungles of Africa?
Zhu Xuanlong smiled: "What are you describing nonsense? I am like a turtle? Be careful brother, I will bite you." Alas, it looks like we'll have to wait here for three hours before we can get out. I'm really worried that the bodies of those two girls will deteriorate.
Mengzidie wondered: "Why should their mother be willing to go far, I'm afraid that such a hot weather is really going to go bad." β
The two of them were in a hurry. Zhu Xuanlong said angrily: "You see that all exits are blocked. Why don't they line up, so when are we going to get out?"
Mengzidie said comfortingly: "Forget it, be patient, be patient." β
After more than two hours, the people on the platform were basically empty. Zhu Xianlong held the girl's corpse, and Mengzidie and the deceased's mother carried another girl's corpse out of the platform.
When I got out of the train station, it was already more than seven o'clock in the morning.
Zhu Xianlong walked in front with the corpse in his arms, there were more and more people on the avenue and walking slowly, due to traffic jams in front, the cars in Hao Lu drove relatively slowly, but the three-wheeled motorcycles and bicycles ran fast.
After a while, cars and pedestrians began to fill up. Now on the streets, it seems that there are all kinds of vehicles.
Some people were burning paper money on the side of the street, and I didn't know whether they were praying to God or worshipping Buddha, but when they got closer, it suddenly dawned on me that someone was burning garbage, and the smoke soon filled the air. At this moment, the world has entered chaos, and all affairs seem to be carried out in the green smoke.
I don't know if it's a hallucination or not, but in the hazy smoke, there are bhikshus and bhikshunis marching in a procession, and I heard that it is for many people to go to the Pure Land to do the thing. Before they knew it, they quickly disappeared into the vastness of the smoke.
Zhu Xianlong, Mengzidie, and the deceased's mother were about to take a taxi to the Boathouse Hotel, but they were refused by the driver several times because of the bodies of the two girls. In desperation, the three had to get into a dilapidated three-wheeled motorcycle taxi. It's not easy to take a three-wheeled motorcycle taxi, the key is that the two bodies of young girls are not easy to put away. In the end, Zhu Xuanlong had no choice but to hug one in front and one behind his back. Zhu Xianlong began to feel tired now, just because the dead people were heavier than the big living people.
Due to the fast speed of the three-wheeled motorcycle taxi, the two "girls" almost flew out of the jaw after braking several times, and Zhu Xianlong simply removed the white cloth. Separate the limbs of the deceased. It's much easier to hug that way.
Mengzi Butterfly looked at the scenery and streets along the way. At this moment, she was moved, and she said suspiciously: I see, India is like this, the good places are clean and spotless, and the dirty places, the ground is full of garbage and excrement.
Zhu Xianlong hurriedly said: "I'm still wondering, I smelled some strange stench along the way, and I thought it was the smell of these two girls' corpses." β
The mother of the deceased wiped her tears. "My two daughters are very hygienic, and they never go to public places. You see, both of them had smiles on their faces even after they died. β
The driver of a three-wheeled motorcycle, although he has a problem with his ears and his eyes are highly short-sighted, and he cannot distinguish between the dead and the living, but he is a good hand at shuttling back and forth in the crowd, and he is seen walking through the crowded alleys and alleys for a while, and speeding down the street for a while.
Zhu Xianlong hugged one on his back, and watched the poignant beauty of the girl who died with big eyes and a slight smile. At the same time, you can also enjoy the scene of another village full of willows and flowers in the streets. This made Zhu Xianlong feel comfortable.
Mengzidie was also excited and excited about Zhu Xuanlong's situation at the moment, as well as enjoying the scenery of the country's streets.
Unsettling the trio, however, was the next part of the road, where the three-wheeled motorcycle, after making a few sharp turns, scurryed into another older road, surrounded by uneven houses and lined up with trees on both sides of the road, squeezing the road narrow and long.
What is infuriating is that when all motor vehicles large and small pass by this three-wheeled motorcycle, the tail of it will suddenly emit unburned diesel smoke, which seems to be deliberately spraying at the face of the girl's corpse, Zhu Xianlong, Mengzi Butterfly and the deceased's mother.
After a while, I found out that the three-wheeled motorcycle driver was not only deaf and blind, but also had a poor sense of smell, and he didn't feel the diesel smoke at all.
Mengzi covered her nose with her left hand and coughed incessantly, and with her right hand, she directed the three-wheeled motorcycle driver through any traffic and people that could pass through.
The three-wheeled motorcycle finally couldn't move, because a herd of camels came densely in front, followed by a large herd of black and crushed elephants, which turned out to be caravans. Every camel or elephant is loaded with cargo, large and small. There were also faint people sitting on it, apparently merchants passing by from other state cities.
As soon as the three-wheeled motorcycle started, a herd of cattle sprang out from the side, and they crossed the road faster or slower. The three-wheeled motorbike driver had no choice but to stop again. When they started again, a group of monkeys popped up and swaggered across the road. Bicycles are also everywhere, and some sections of the road are crowded and overcrowded.
I can't walk even if I want to. This situation made Zhu Xuanlong, Mengzidie, and the mother of the deceased so anxious that beads of sweat were on their foreheads. Looking up, not to mention people and animals, everyone does not give in. The four people in the car looked helplessly, and it seemed that there was a narrow path between the temple and the temple not far away.
The highly myopic driver had an idea, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he drove into the stone road that few people walked, which was regarded as a super shortcut to bring Zhu Xianlong and others to the central ring of Connaught Plaza, and finally ran directly to the outer ring, because the houseboat hotel was there. In fact, the driver knows that foreigners are not familiar with this place, and in order to make money, the driver with high myopia deliberately went around in a big circle.
Mengzidie asked the driver to take her directly to the houseboat, which had heard of it earlier. The driver staggered quickly to the door of the houseboat. Zhu Xianlong paid, and the two sides waved their hands, which was a partiality. In the blink of an eye, the three-wheeled taxi disappeared into the crowd as soon as black smoke came out of the butt.
Zhu Xianlong felt that he was destined for these two girls, so he immediately hired someone to buy two high-quality white coffins, and buried the two girls in the coffin, and the coffins were also accompanied by flowers. Subsequently, fourteen nuns from the nunnery were invited to perform for them. This move moved the mother of the deceased girl very much, so she wanted to marry her thirteen-year-old youngest daughter to Zhu Xianlong, but Zhu Xuanlong politely declined.
The friends of the "girl's" mother finally came with the ox cart. The two coffins were quickly placed on the ox cart, and after consulting with the bhikshunis, the procession soon disappeared in the direction of Hisar.
After staying in the hotel room, the room is refreshing, which is good.
After bathing separately, the two went up to the rooftop in white casual shirts. This houseboat, the terrace at the bow of the boat, has a large canopy on it, which makes you feel like you are on a cruise ship, and the pillars are embossed with patterns of flowers and plants, which makes people feel gorgeous and elegant.
Bird's-eye view of the nearby lakes and mountains, showing everywhere, I don't feel comfortable. In the distance, ancient and modern buildings are presented in the mist, like a dreamy world.
The next day, Zhu Xianlong accompanied Mengzidie to the street, shopping in the mall, and buying delicious food. As soon as Mengzidie was in a good mood, Zhu Xianlong was happy, and tried to spoil her along the way, mainly because she cherished life, and the girl had to be spoiled and cared for. In addition, after leaving her in the desert of Saudi Arabia, I have a sense of debt and have always hidden guilt in my heart, so I try to make up for her as much as possible now.
Besides, after dealing with the dead girl today, I feel that the living, the lively dream butterfly is more cute, and at the same time, I find that she is more charming and delicate than before. Now, there will be an inexplicable sense of warmth around her.
Zhu Xianlong actually admires the temperament of Mengzi Butterfly when she wears Indian folk fashion, just as: "Hibiscus out of the water, the river pond makes flowers clean".
βββThank you very much for your strong support! I'm so excited and moved! I must write well and live up to my friends' expectations!! (To be continued......
