British 1986

We set off from Bangalore before nine o'clock in the morning and passed through several small towns, all of which were dilapidated and full of Indian style. The convoy only stopped briefly in these places to replenish some food and fresh water before continuing to set off. Finally in the afternoon At around six o'clock, after a bumpy drive of nearly nine hours, we arrived in Xiacun County.

This Xiacun County literally means a small county under the waterfall, referred to as Xiacun County.

Next to it is Allen's destination this time.

Not far away, there was already a vague buzzing sound in my ears. It was not like the sound of bees flapping their wings, but the buzzing sound of waterfall water.

Since it is an inland scenic spot, locals usually do not come here to visit. Due to the recent environment, there are not many foreigners visiting here during this time. After giving the other party some money, Allen went to the opposite side of the waterfall. , a small hill with the best scenery is wrapped up.

Holding Aishwarya Rai's little hand, while the other party was limping slowly, Allen pulled her slowly along the plank road to the top of the waterfall to have a look.

Jogfals Waterfall is not the usual step-by-step waterfall in the past, which is layered one by one, like a staircase, but it goes straight up and down, and the entire surface of more than 200 meters high is covered with waterfalls. , flying straight down, looking from a distance like a sky-high river flying in the sky, extremely spectacular.

This waterfall is more than 400 meters wide. Think about it. It is longer than a standard track and field track. Standing on the edge of the waterfall, your ears are filled with the deafening sound of the falling water, a bit like the galloping of thousands of horses. .

Allen looked at the Georgfalls Falls. If he could take this thing home and place it on the edge of the creek not far from his home in Wales, he would feel like a lunatic just thinking about it.

But standing here at this moment, Allen's rare mood was very relaxed and ethereal. Although he felt a little deafened, he just felt that all the negative emotions and thoughts in his body were washed away by the rushing water. Similar.

Once a person relaxes, he feels comfortable, and once he feels comfortable, he will have other different thoughts. Allen lay in Aishwarya Rai's ear and said: "We will spend the night here tonight, look over there .”

Aishwarya Rai looked in the direction of Allen's finger. About a few hundred meters away, on the flat land on the top of a hill directly opposite the waterfall, someone had already begun to set up tents there.

It’s hard to say whether you can have a good rest if you spend the night here. After all, the waterfall falls from a height of several hundred meters and the noise is still very loud. When visiting here, it’s better to just look at its magnificent scenery. If you stay there all night We all have to be surrounded by this kind of noise, that feeling.

Before Aishwarya Rai could object, Allen put his arm around her waist and said, "We are the only ones going up to the whole hill tonight. Think about it, there is a waterfall on the opposite side and we are facing the waterfall, just like we were on the balcony yesterday. Same as above."

Aishwarya Rai's face turned red as soon as she heard Allen talking about this. She is a very conservative and traditional Indian girl. Yesterday, Allen took her to play on the balcony. It was a bold exercise on the road, but I didn’t expect that today I would have to run hundreds of kilometers away and play opposite a waterfall.

She didn't even know how to describe her current mood.

Slightly opening Allen's hand on her waist, Aishwarya Rai glared at Allen, making Allen laugh.

Allen likes to see Aishwarya Rai, who is conservative at heart, but can't bear to reject herself. She can only let herself raise the upper limit step by step, and slowly liberate her heart.

Is this just slowly unlocking and developing?

Sure enough. Unlocking the game is the most fun and gives you the most sense of accomplishment.

In the evening, the Jogfals Falls, a waterfall surface hundreds of meters wide, reflects the moonlight. It is not dark overall, and there is even a bit of brightness in the night, making it look a bit magical.

A wild tent, facing the waterfall, with the curtain rolled up, and a huge inflatable mattress placed under the curtain

Under the moonlight, Aishwarya Rai was dressed in a purple sari, a silk hijab, and beautiful jewelry. She was barefoot in the open space outside the tent, performing to Allen the Indian dance she had learned since she was a child. .

There is no accompaniment, and the sound of the waterfall behind you is the best background sound. The bright moonlight is reflected by the water of the waterfall, and little bits of moonlight fall on Aishwarya Rai's body, her graceful dancing posture, her white feet, and the light water on the stone. The beads and the subtle water vapor brought by the falling waterfall make this wild Indian solo dance look beautiful.

He covered his forehead with his right hand, and covered his mouth with a gauze scarf in his left hand, leaving only a pair of beautiful big eyes. In Allen's opinion, these eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of magic power to seduce the mind, and a touch of shyness. Mixed with charm, tut tut.

Let’s stop here for this dance!

At this moment, Allen could understand the ancient allusion of the wine pond and meat forest very well. Nature is still fun, and people are so harmonious!

"Stop jumping, baby, come here, come here."

Allen waved and patted the air mattress, signaling Aishwarya Rai to come quickly.

He has no interest in Indian dance now. He is only interested in the traditional Indian dress - sari.

What is the structure of this thing?

Oh. It turns out to be made of gauze, a thin layer that can protect you from the sun and is breathable. Moreover, this thing is a bit like a monk's robe or cassock. It is wrapped around the body. As long as it is not very thin, the inside is Impenetrable, that is to say

There are some things that you can wear if you don’t want to, even vacuum ones. You can’t see the inside from the outside anyway. This is very convenient when you are doing business. Certain steps can be omitted. This is similar to the North Korea that Allen has seen before. The traditional costumes of women are quite similar, but compared with the kind of women's kimonos in island countries that come with their own small pillows, they are still slightly lacking in terms of convenience and thoughtfulness.

But now that he has a tent and an air mattress, this only shortcoming can be made up for.

Allen worked hard

The sound of the waterfall blocked a lot of crackling sounds. The water vapor falling from the waterfall was blowing towards him like a cool breeze. The sweat on his back was mixed with the water vapor blowing. The taste made it difficult to tell which water was which. , my heart is hot, my body is cold, I can’t even take a deep breath without breathing.

As the old saying goes, if you carry it on your calves and shoulders, I will be the craziest tonight.

How do you write an ancient poem?

What to do when parking? The maple forest is late, the leaves are red with frost and the flowers are red in February.

It is February now, and Allen can already understand the artistic conception of this ancient poem. He is also parking his car to rest under the waterfall. It is also late for the waterfall, but there is no frost here. The leaves are as red as February flowers.

But he has a little pink flower.

With this feeling of the sky being the blanket and the earth being the bed, he felt that his whole body was fully integrated into nature.

If you stay in this kind of environment for a long time, you will be ruined.

After spending one night at the Jogfals Falls, Allen didn't have a good rest, but he was extremely tired. When he went to bed, he no longer cared about the sound of the surrounding waterfalls. Early the next morning , and regained the feeling of vitality.

Take a deep breath, the air here is so humid and refreshing.

Half an hour for washing and eating is not important in the wild. He is not going to stay here any longer today. Resting in this humid environment for a long time is not good for the body. He just needs to play occasionally and be stimulated.

Today we will continue to walk northwest, towards Goa, and our destination is a train station on the west coast.

Allen is taking Aishwarya Rai on a train to her hometown, Mangalore.

This is also a quality route that Aishwarya Rai came up with last night. Although the trains in India are rubbish, there are some quality routes, such as starting from Tehokur, a small town near Mangalore. The town's premium train travel line - Konkan Railway Line.

This railway line will cross the Western Ghats, the west coast of India, Goa, and finally extend to Harrow railway station.

Along the way there are steep mountains, green forests and waterfalls, and the train travels through the mountains and rivers, which is very impressive.

For such tourist trains, except for the first half of the train, the train will be full of people. As long as it enters the mountains, people on the train will consciously get off the train.

The train on the flat ground is not very fast, but if it goes into the mountains and is constantly walking on the iron cabinets of viaducts that are tens of meters high, and if one accidentally falls, it will be impossible to survive.

This line is a tourist line, and the interior of the train will be relatively more luxurious than ordinary trains. There are double bed rooms. When you open the window, you will see boundless mountains and green forests outside.

They set off from Xiacun County at 8 or 9 in the morning again. From here to the train station on the coast, it still takes four or five hours. However, this time they did not take the train from the starting point, and the fare was still the same as the original ticket. You can buy it at a low price, just get on the train at the halfway station, and the "room" on the train there has been booked in advance.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy finally arrived at the train station at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the appearance of the train had been washed very clean. They occasionally passed some small waterfalls along the way. The train passed between the waterfalls, and the waterfalls swayed down. Splash can give the train a free car wash service, so this train line is very clean and interesting.

After two days of careful guidance, Aishwarya Rai became more and more obedient to Allen. She would do whatever he asked her to do without resisting. Even if she didn't like it, she would try her best to satisfy Allen.

Last night's duet under the moon was very artistic. Today's train tour, I wonder what it feels like?

When we arrived at the reserved room, it was not too big. The corridor on one side of the carriage was compressed to only enough space for one person to pass, and on the other side was a standard single room with a toilet and bathroom.

Although the layout is not too luxurious, there is a standard large bed by the window in the private room. Sitting on the bed, you can look at the scenery along the way outside the window. This feeling

Allen took out the eye mask he had already prepared from his pocket, which was a bit like Zorro or the kind of eye mask some people wear when attending a party.

Allen's own one is black, and the one for Aishwarya Rai is purple. Wearing this thing does not affect the line of sight, but the people you meet along the way outside the window can even catch a glimpse of the people on the train. Even with the blindfold on, they couldn't see clearly who was inside.

With this kind of insurance, you can safely and boldly play something more exciting, such as traveling a thousand miles a day?

Last night, the hilltop below the waterfall was booked by Allen, and he was guarded by bodyguards. There was no one around. But now that he was on the train, it was different.

From the station to the mountains, you will pass through several inhabited places intermittently, tsk tsk

On the West Coast Bridge in India in mid-to-late February, some Indian untouchables would pick up some garbage thrown from the train along the train tracks, such as plastic bottles and cardboard.

Occasionally, if you are lucky, you can pick up tattered clothes, food, etc. What's more, you can even pick up jewelry that fell into the toilet and was washed down on the railway line.

Untouchables in twos and threes, bent at the waist, facing the sun and sea breeze, carrying woven bags on their backs, strolling on the railway tracks, staring at the gravel between the railway tracks with keen eyes, which contains materials that carry their hopes for life.

The whistle sounded in the distance, and several Indian untouchables jumped off the train track and stepped aside.

A dark blue tourist line is about to pass by. Experienced pariahs will be very excited every time they see a train passing by. Every time a train passes by, the probability of finding supplies on the railway along the way increases!

Standing by the railway, I watched the train passing by with expectation and envy. Some of the passengers in the car were Indians, but they ignored the untouchables scavenging outside the window. Some children would even lie on their backs. On the car window, these black and skinny untouchables who looked like wild dogs were pointing and making mocking sounds.

But these ordinary scavengers have long been accustomed to it. They live in the same country.

But they are not the same race at all. They will only be collectively referred to as Indians by the outside world. They themselves know that they are the lowest untouchables who can only survive in this world. Their shadows on the ground before were different from those of other nobles. If the shadows cross each other, they will be regarded as dirty shadows of noble people and beaten to death in the street.

Sudden

A scavenger stared blankly at the passing train.

The windows on the train can only be opened halfway up and down.

There seems to be a masked person lying on the half-open window? Or an Indian girl with an eye patch?

Her skin looked so fair to them. The girl opened her mouth and swayed on the train window.

The train passed by in a blink of an eye, and I couldn't see it clearly. It was probably like there were two people leaning on the window looking at the scenery?

In the private room, seeing the scavengers passing by outside the car, Aishwarya Rai lay on her stomach and wanted to move and cover her face with her hands, but was stopped by Allen behind her. She was wearing a blindfold. What could she see outside? ?

I glanced at the bridge outside the window and the untouchables who picked up garbage. These untouchables were like ants.

This kind of tourist bus is interesting. It comes with a big bed. You can directly see the scenery outside the window from the bed, and you can also experience the novel experience of traveling thousands of miles.

After two days and two nights of train travel, as hordes of zombie-like people climbed onto the train again, Allen knew that the train was about to reach the end.

This is not far from Aishwarya Rai’s home, Mangalore.

After taking a shower and washing off the stickiness on his body, Allen was very satisfied with the two-day itinerary. This is what he should do when visiting.
