Chapter 92 The Reality of Local Legends
The ship docked in this small town in India. Before docking, Johnny repeatedly confirmed with Wal-Mart: "Are you sure that the legend happened in this place?"
"Of course it can't be this town. To be precise, it should be one of its villages. I have never been there in person. You know, actually I don't lack courage because I am too busy." Before docking, Wo said
Erma finally changed out of his Snoopy outfit and put on his normal casual clothes, but I admire him very much for how he dances and talks non-stop every time Johnny asks him for confirmation.
Uncle Johnny's temporary good temper was finally worn to the end by Wal-Mart. He grabbed Wal-Mart by the collar and roared: "No one cares about why you don't go there. I ask you to tell the important point."
Walma immediately put away his banquet prince expression and said in a very serious tone: "In fact, if you ask the locals, you will definitely know which village it happened. I am sure it is near this town."
Uncle Johnny rolled his eyes at Wal-Mart, let Wal-Mart go, and took the lead to get off the Penglai.
While Wolma was adjusting his collar, he looked towards the shore and watched the boat dock. Several children who were watching the excitement muttered something in Indian, but were replaced by the laughter of the children, and then they dispersed.
Chengzhen was very curious and couldn't help but ask Singer, who was busy doing all the chores of stopping the ship: "What did Wal-Mart say?"
Singer smiled honestly and said to Chengzhen in English: "He told those children that he was a truly strong man, but he just maintained the virtue of humility and didn't want to argue with the old man, so he allowed the old man to treat him like this.
Those children should stop watching the fun and learn from him."
"Haha." Chengzhen rolled his eyes, and then said to Singer: "Walmart is so funny."
"Yes, I think so too." The smile on Singer's face was still honest, and he whispered to Chengzhen: "I think if the master is willing, he can beat up 10 Wolves by himself when he is furious.
Elma.”
"Haha, this idea is very reliable." Chengzhen couldn't help laughing a few times. As if he had sensed it, Wal-Mart, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and looked at Chengzhen with an innocent look.
: "Seungzhen, if you don't get off the boat quickly, why are you laughing there?"
"Oh, she laughed. She just saw a stupid fish and was hit by the boat. As a result, the fish proudly told other fish that I don't want to argue with the boat, otherwise I will knock it over." Mr. Xiao responded loudly.
A word from Walmart.
Walma looked incomprehensible, finally shrugged, and walked away muttering: "Listening to Uncle Johnny's talk about fish really made these poor people obsessed, and they actually imagined that fish can talk."
Then, Xiao Chengqian felt the same loneliness as Hui Gen'er. The reason was the same. Walma couldn't understand what they were talking about.
————————————————Dividing line————————————————
This is a small town, but it has an extremely long and unpronounceable name. Because we are not natives of India, we really can’t pronounce that town clearly, so we simply call it River Town because of Wal-Mart.
As we were told before, the name of this town is translated as the name of a river god.
The town is really not that big, and there are only 4 or 5 main streets. However, a group of us felt a little uncomfortable walking in it, just because there were too many people watching along the way, and even some children simply
Follow us.
As for the reason, I personally think it is because our group of people are neatly dressed and dressed in relatively modern clothes, which attracted the attention of these people. In fact, this is indeed a poor town.
Like many cities in India, the environment here is very dirty, with garbage dumps everywhere, cattle of unknown origin wandering around, and cow excrement and cow dung, and in the sun, dust is clearly visible.
The difference is that cities always have their bright and beautiful side, but it is like this everywhere.
Perhaps he was tired of the onlookers, so Johnny gave them some coins and said to us: "I'm sorry for letting you see the bad side of my country. I like China and I also like Europe, but in comparison
, I love this place deeply.”
"Actually, I don't mind." I said seriously: "China also has many bad things, but I also love it deeply." I can't forget the helpless, confused and panic I felt when the car drove away from the border.
, China is my eternal mother.
"Haha, as long as you understand. Then let's go over there to find out the news." Johnny pointed at a place to eat. It looked very simple, but a lot of people gathered there. It seemed that
People in this town love this restaurant.
Under Johnny's leadership, we quickly entered the hotel. Inevitably, we were looked up and down by the locals. I endured this uncomfortable feeling extremely. Under Johnny's money offensive,
The owner of the restaurant finally agreed to add a table for us in this small restaurant. When I sat down, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting here is better than standing in the middle of the restaurant and being looked at.
good.
Compared to my discomfort, Wal-Mart was like a fish in water and quickly struck up a conversation with the locals. When he came back, he was already shouting: "Why do you know that this store is so loved by the locals?"
? Because the most authentic pancakes served here, paired with jam, will be so delicious that your tongue will devour them.
In my stomach, by the way, the roasted chicken here is also good. Chengyi, do you know roasted chicken? It is actually a famous dish in India called tandoori. I didn’t expect that such a small town could have such a dish.
I heard that the owner of this shop is very good at cooking. In fact, I suspect that he is from Punjab (the birthplace of Tandoori).”
This Wal-Mart was really too verbose. Johnny couldn't help but frown with such a big talk. He pulled him to sit next to him and warned him to be quiet. However, in
After the food was served, he couldn't sit still anymore. He took a cup filled with juice and went to chat with the locals again.
This time, Johnny didn't stop him. He quietly spread jam on the gambling cake and said, "Maybe I was wrong just now. In fact, with him, I don't have to worry about asking for information." As he spoke,
Johnny had already rolled up the pancake in his hand and took a big bite happily. The sound was crisp and he chewed it very sweetly.
"Not bad!" Seeing how delicious Johnny was eating, I couldn't help but get one for myself, and couldn't help but sigh, this is the best pancake I've ever eaten in India.
"Of course it's delicious. Most of the ones you can buy are fire-roasted. The ones served in a pan can only taste like home." Johnny winked at me, and then everyone said enthusiastically: "Try it.
This roasted chicken is a famous Indian dish, and it’s delicious that I can’t replicate.”
Under Johnny's warm greeting, we were naturally not polite. To be precise, this chicken is really good, with crispy skin and tender inside. It feels like eating Peking duck, but because of the different spices, it has a slight taste in the mouth.
Spicy, as a Sichuanese, I naturally prefer this kind of spiciness, and I ate a lot of it without realizing it.
While we were feasting, Wal-Mart had successfully become one with the locals. After a while, two people came to sit at our table. He said to us: "They can speak English, and they also know what the locals were like back then."
Rumors, I think we can communicate with them?"
Johnny gave Wal-Mart a thumbs up and expressed his appreciation for Wal-Mart's approach. Then he enthusiastically poured a cup of delicious ginger tea for the two locals and warmly invited them to eat and drink at our place.
The dinner table is a place where it is easy to get closer, and with the presence of a banquet prince like Wal-Mart, within half an hour, these two locals had eliminated the barriers with us and were chatting happily.
Under Johnny's deliberate guidance, our identity became the producer of some TV show to discover strange things, so with this identity, the topic naturally turned to that legend.
When it comes to this legend, the locals naturally know it, and one of them even said that he was an eyewitness to that incident.
This coincidence must be said to be God's help to us. We immediately enthusiastically invited him to talk about it in detail, and the local man did not delay and began to recall that incident.
Everything he said was roughly the same as what Walmer said, except that it happened more than once, and at different times.
"The first time was many years ago. I think it was more than ten years ago. Specifically, it was 15 or 16 years ago. I can't remember. I was still a teenager at that time. That time,
A child who was playing in the river disappeared." That's what the local said to us.
Another local next to him hurriedly added: "Yes, the child disappeared and no one saw the specific reason why he disappeared. As you know, it is normal for several people to drown every year while playing in the river, and the body is found drifting to other places.
Not surprisingly, the child's disappearance did not attract any attention."
"The situation is like this. People are always numb, so that one or two children will disappear every one or two years. They don't think that they have offended the river god. There was only one time, about 9 years ago, that someone witnessed it with their own eyes.
A child suddenly disappeared into the water. This incident aroused people's exploration, but it only caused people to wonder. After all, unlike the young man who suddenly disappeared, the child suddenly disappeared into the water, and only one person saw it with his own eyes. "That child suddenly disappeared into the water."
The locals spoke with emotion about what happened over the years.
Having said this, he paused and then continued: "So things like this have been happening all the time. It wasn't until 7 years ago, when the young man was dragged into the water, that the matter finally became big and so many people saw it.
He even had his lover, which was something that he couldn't suppress even if he wanted to. Then people in the town and several villages pooled their money and held a large-scale sacrificial event to end this nightmare."
"So the River God cannot be treated lightly. Are you asking about it because you want to find the River God? If so, I advise you to go back. It is impossible for the God to be captured by the camera, and interrupting rashly may lead to tragedy.
It happened to you." After the local finished speaking, another local added nervously. Obviously, this series of nightmares that lasted for more than ten years left a deep shadow on the hearts of the locals.
.
But Johnny didn't care. To be precise, no one at our table cared. Even Wal-Mart couldn't suppress its excitement.
Johnny said to the two locals: "The whole town chipped in, and there were several neighboring villages. Does that mean the incident didn't happen in one place, one village?" Obviously, Johnny caught the more important thing.
the focus of.
"Of course, it happened nearby. Many villages have encountered the same thing, including one incident in the river near the town. Over the past ten years, the river god has swallowed a total of 12 people! But what kind of consequences can 12 people cause?
What about taking it seriously? Every year, so many people drown while playing in the water, so other places laugh at us and make up incredible stories. They think the river god has sent us
Anger should be at the cost of hundreds of lives. Only our locals are convinced that it is a real nightmare. We have not seen or felt the terrifying, unknown existence underwater, so silent, all of a sudden.
Just dragged a person into the water! There was no cry for help, not even a struggle, that kind of silent horror." When the local man talked about this, his face didn't look good.
At this moment, another local said inadvertently: "So, let those who laugh at you also experience that nightmare! I heard that the anger of the river god spread to other places, in a certain place
There, the river god even dragged down a cow, a cow, you know?"
At this time, even I couldn't help but be moved, even though it was just an unintentional remark! I quickly asked: "Are you sure this is true? Are there such legends in other places?"
"No, I'm not sure. I just heard it accidentally. No one wants this kind of thing to happen all the time. I hope that the place affected by the disaster will be grateful to hold a sacrifice to solve the disaster." The local answered me like this.
, his expression told me that he wasn't lying, he was really not sure, it was just hearsay.
I frowned, thinking about what this meant.
But Johnny interrupted: "Where are these hearsays coming from?"
"Well, it seems to be a place downstream of us. In fact, it is another tributary of the Ganges. I can't tell you for sure." When saying this, the locals took a sip of black tea indifferently.
