Chapter 303

"This is my wife, Simone." Old Dong introduced Fang Ze, "she doesn't speak Chinese very well. There's no problem with English."

As soon as Lao Dong's words fell, ximani said hello to Fang Ze in broken Chinese, and then said a lot of welcome words in English.

When Fang Ze heard ximani's English, he continued to pretend that his English level was probably only that of high school students, and clumsily answered a few words.

Old Dong walked over and said a few words to ximani, so that ximani left first, and then he took Fang Ze to the upstairs study.

"You've got married here." Fang Ze said to old Dong, "it seems that he doesn't intend to return to China?"

"When I was young, I was poor and had no choice but to come here to make a living. Now I am used to living here, so I should not plan to go back if there is no accident."

There was a wedding photo of him and Himani on Lao Dong's desk. Lao Dong said to Fang Ze with a little pride, "my wife's family is a large high caste family in India. When I married her, the then Deputy Prime Minister of India called to congratulate me."

"Oh." Fang Ze was a little interested after hearing what Lao Dong said. He asked, "isn't there a caste system in India? What kind of caste are we foreigners in India?"

"Reluctantly, it can also be regarded as chadili." Old Dong took out a cigarette and tried to give it to Fang Ze. After Fang Ze waved his hand and refused, he began to smoke by himself, "In the eyes of Indians, we Chinese people are a low nobility, so our status is still good. Of course, Europeans and Americans are higher. But this is only useful for men. For women, no matter how noble you are in India, you should be very careful when you go out. Some Indians initiate love, regardless of caste, sometimes even species is not a thing in their eyes."

"Well." Fang Ze recalled the news about Indians and animals and nodded to agree with Lao Dong.

"I've always heard that the caste problem in India is very serious. How about this situation in Delhi. Are your Indian servants the legendary Untouchables?"

"No, no, no, my servants pay them a small part of their salary every month, but they are only low caste Indians, not Dalits." Lao Dong said to Fang Ze with a smoke ring, "India's caste system is very complex, and it can't be interpreted from the literal meaning of 'Brahman', 'Sadri', 'visha', 'sudhara'."

"People in our country may, for historical reasons, understand this hierarchy as the difference between classes, between nobility and civilians, or equivalent to the set made by the Mongols in the Yuan Dynasty. But in fact, it is not. Compared with the ethnic classification of the Mongols in those days, this set of caste system of Indians is much more vicious."

"Answer your question first." Old Dong said, "These people who are servants in our family, according to the hierarchy, belong to sudara, only a low caste, not a Dalit. In India, the real Dalits do not have their own caste. They do the dirtiest and hardest work, and are required not to appear in public. Except when working and getting paid, if there are Dalits who want to contact people of other castes, they will be killed. Because they represent unknown, understand Come on. "

"I see." Fang Ze heard old Dong's words and felt his back cool.

"Speaking of caste division before, the four castes in India have derived a total of more than 10000 subspecies, and the division between these subspecies is also very mysterious. For example, my wife's surname is shatili in Delhi, but it can be counted as Brahman in some other states. Some are shatili's caste in Delhi, and it can also be counted as low caste such as visha in other states."

"So it's actually very difficult to judge class only from gender. In India, your caste does not represent your nobility. What really represents your nobility is work."

"Work?" Fang Ze doesn't understand.

"Yes, because the caste system was established very early, for thousands of years, all caste families in India have tried to move closer to the high caste and strive to despise other castes. This has been done for thousands of years, not to mention us, even Indians themselves can't understand it."

"However, the real purpose of caste division in India is not to distinguish classes, but to distinguish work. For example, in India, God is supreme, so Brahman is the spokesman of God, responsible for communicating with God, and is the boss of the family.

Chadili is in charge of family affairs, and he is the second. The Veda, who is responsible for making money to support the family, is the third, and the fourth shoudara does the housework of cleaning. These are family members. And some dirty jobs, such as pouring toilets and digging sewers, have to be done by outsiders, who are Dalits, also known as Untouchables. "

Lao Dong smoked, his tone relaxed, but his words were not easy, "untouchables are not family members in India, so you can sometimes see that an Indian loves small animals very much, the whole person is very loving, and he is a good person, but in the face of untouchables, they will not treat them as a life."

"My company used to employ an untouchable person as a coolie. One day he didn't come, and I didn't care. A long time later, his father came and told me that he was found and killed because he jumped over the wall of a rich family. And his father didn't try to call the police, which is the status of untouchables in India."

"No one tried to resist?" Fang Ze is a little silly. After all, even if he knows more, he only understands India's caste in writing. Now in India, hearing these words from a compatriot who has lived in India for many years makes him feel a little terrible.

"Don't think that resistance to oppression is an easy thing. How many people have been killed by a match of equals in our country, and there are still lingering poisons up to now. The situation in India is more complicated. I told you before that they have more than 10000 derived castes, which actually represent work. For example, the same sudra, in India, there are people who drive motorcycles and ride tricycles to pick up guests. However, there are two waves of people who drive motorcycles and ride tricycles, and Not a subspecies, they despise each other and refuse to contact. If you are not a motorcycle driving caste, you cannot drive a motorcycle, or others will drive you away. Because their trade union is also controlled by this caste. "

"So the most complicated situation in India is that they not only despise high castes for low castes, but also despise each other among castes of the same level. You are a caste, and you can only farm in this life, and you can't weave cloth, because you're not a weaver caste, and you can't make flying cakes if you're a cake maker. Everything is because of caste. Moreover, caste will accompany your life. Even if you change your own caste, your work will reveal that you are in Which level of society. Even if you change to another religion, your caste will remain the same, and any religion in India must obey the caste system. They discriminate against and hate each other, and more than 10000 subspecies' surnames, religions, occupations, regions and nationalities are mutually corrected Intertwined, they dislike each other and refuse to intermarry. The high-level can only communicate in English, and the language between the low-level people may not be able to understand each other. "

"In this case, we can only spend time slowly. We can't get the set we used to do here, because there are no landlords here, only castes that despise each other, and we don't know who to fight when we have to fight." Lao Dong said, poking his cigarette end into the ashtray, "there is an Indian self mockery that can explain all this, 'in India, everyone will not make the mistake of letting others have dreams'."

"Let's talk about some information you have about the disappearance of Lao Sha's people." Fang Ze listened to old Dong's words, and his heart was inexplicably heavy. He skipped the topic directly and asked for business.

"Apart from a girl, the people sent by shage to India this time are two men, one is Feng Zhongjie and the other is Huang Sheng. I am very familiar with Feng Zhongjie. I have been to Delhi several times and said that I used to be a special forces soldier, and my physique is really good. It's no problem to play fiveorsix alone."

Old Dong said, taking a book from the side, and then turning out a photo from the book. "This is Feng Zhongjie's photo."

Fang Ze took the photo and looked at it. The man in the photo was about 25 years old, with an inch of head. His whole body looked very muscular.

"That is to say, in fact, the three missing people did not encounter some local ruffians and hooligans, which led to the absence of information for such a long time."

"Yes." The old Dong nodded and said, "the local ruffians in India also bullied and bullied women, making them emboldened to rob on the road, because once caught, they would be killed directly. Therefore, the disappearance of the three people was so shocking that they suddenly had no news, the phone couldn't be reached, and they didn't explain in advance."

"And later, we sent people to track Feng Zhongjie's mobile phone signal, and found that the mobile phone signal also disappeared on the day the three disappeared. We searched for someone in situ, but we didn't find the mobile phone."

"The mobile phone card should have been unplugged." Fang Ze thought for a moment and then asked, "do you know where they finally went?"

"They didn't tell me when they left, but the driver of the taxi we went out to find them heard that they got off near the Delhi subway station, where there was a slum. You know, the most troublesome part of the slum is that you don't know who is telling the truth and who is lying."

"Didn't they come to buy new drugs? Why did they go to the slums?" Fang Ze then asked.

"This is also what I doubt. Because they came this time and made me prepare a lot of ice chops in advance. The original plan was to get the medicine, put it in the refrigerator to keep warm, and then leave Delhi directly to return home. But they didn't bring the ice chops when they went out, that is to say, they didn't go to get the medicine."

There are too many doubts.

Fang Ze leaned weakly on the chair.
