Chapter 1291 arrived

"Even just a glance at a house in San Diego is a pilgrimage. —Dante.

There is a holy city, where the bones of St. James, a disciple of Jesus, are buried, and devout believers who have traveled from all over the continent to carry crosses and shells as tokens have gathered here on foot.

There is a road that starts in the Pyrenees on the Spanish-French border, or further afield from Le Puy (Le Puy), which stretches across the northern part of Spain to reach the holy city at the western end of the border.

A thousand years ago, a shepherd followed the guidance of the stars and found Jacob's coffin at the end of the world. The world of God was shaken, and a holy city alongside Rome and Jerusalem arose.

Thousands of years later, the temple at the remote end of the continent has long been weathered and covered with moss, but what has not been cut off is the devout pilgrim who has gone through the 800-kilometer long journey of spiritual practice, looking at the bones of the saint and waiting for the mercy of the ancient. Or is it just a physical and mental journey, or it is a simple exile for no purpose.

People go on the road for a variety of reasons, but they always find the answers to their needs on this ancient path of faith. This holy path has not been disenchanted by the diminishing of religious factors, but has increasingly become a universal value and a station for the soul of modern people.

As someone says, "On the San Diego Way, you can find everything you want except sex." ”

When he traveled in Spain before, Li Shenxing had heard and seen those who were making pilgrimages, some of them looked tired and a little confused, some had resolute eyes, and some had curiosity to explore the world in their eyes. At first, he didn't understand what they were trying so hard to 'torture' him, until Li Shenxing had the privilege of attending a mass specially prepared for pilgrims.

You can never underestimate the shock of a pilgrim on foot.

A huge incense burner forged of brass and silver swayed slowly under the tutelage of the eight clergy, reaching the dome of the church, where the sacred incense wafted through the low and distant Mass. The smoker swept overhead, shaking every fragment of the soul, and everyone present was a devout believer.

At the end of the sermon, pilgrims receive the bishop's communion, which is like a piece of candy. In the mouth, the warm sweetness seems to strip away all the pain and trouble.

Under this pervasive light, some shook hands with each other and said goodbye, some embraced the icon of Jacob, some just sat there quietly, and some had already burst into tears.

Although Li Shenxing was only a bystander, he was still shocked by the piety of the saints and the resonance of the pilgrims from the depths of his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't know when he had already wet his eyes with tears. But he didn't feel embarrassed or uncomfortable because there were many people here who cried more than him.

After a long 15+ hour flight, the Spanish Homestay team finally landed safely at Madrid Bahanas Airport, the capital of Spain.

Although there is a short transfer time that allows them to take a breath and move a little, such a long flight still makes everyone feel very tired, which is not only mentally devastating, but also physical + physical torture.

It was the first time that Li Shenxing had been on the plane for such a long time, so when he got off the plane, he swore that there would never be a next time in this situation, it was really too torturous, he originally thought that taking the train for the Spring Festival was already the most cruel experience, but he didn't expect that there would be something more excessive, which directly refreshed his ability to bear.

However, what made him glad was that Luo PD did not choose to transfer flights multiple times in order to save money, otherwise they would still be enjoying the torment on the plane now.

By the time they left the airport and arrived at the hotel where they were staying, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

After checking in and going back to their rooms, they walked to a local restaurant not far from the city center.

In order to let them better understand the local food, the translator ordered local specialties. Paella is essential, as well as tortellini, a pie-like food that tastes good.

In addition, there is a dish with octopus as the main ingredient that is also very delicious, and Li Shenxing also specially asked the translator for the name of this dish - polbo á feira. I didn't encounter this dish when I came to play before, but I didn't expect it to be delicious.

Seeing that Li Shenxing had a soft spot for this dish, Cha Shengyuan also moved the dish to him so that he could eat more. I have to say that Aunt Che is really good at taking care of people, no wonder not long after knowing Li Shenxing, the two of them were able to play together.

After eating something to fill his stomach, Cha Seung-won suddenly took out a thick dozen cards from his pocket, which he specially prepared for grocery shopping, and in addition to printing color photos of the ingredients, they were also marked in Korean and Spanish. With such a card, even if you don't know Spanish, you can buy what you want according to the pictures.

However, Cha Shengyuan was not very sure whether the Spanish he used Google Translate was completely correct, so he took it out and asked the translator to help review it.

Even Luo PD didn't know that Che Shengyuan had actually made such preparations, and took the card with a look of amazement, he found that the ingredients on the card were basically common in Spain, and they could basically be bought, and even the meat was marked with the names of each part in detail, and it was clear at a glance with the pictures, and there was no need to say more, just order directly according to the picture.

It can be seen that Che Shengyuan's attitude towards work is very serious and important.

Of course, it's not that Li Shenxing and Yoo Hae-jin don't take this shooting seriously and seriously, it's just that everyone behaves differently.

At the dinner table, everyone listened to the translator talk briefly about some things in the village where the shooting was taken, such as what shops are in the village, local customs and other very daily but very useful information.

After eating, everyone returned to their accommodation.

In order to adjust the jet lag, Li Shenxing did not go to rest, went back to the room to take a shower, changed into comfortable and stylish casual clothes, and left alone with a cross-body waist bag.

Of course, I didn't forget to report to the staff when I left, so as not to find anyone or make any misunderstandings later.

But what Li Shenxing didn't know was that as soon as he left, Cha Shengyuan and Liu Haizhen, who lived next door, also left the room and walked out of the hotel one after another.

They all thought that the others would rest in the room, so they didn't call each other, but they didn't expect them to go together.

Madrid is worthy of being the capital city, and the place is still quite large, which is the conclusion that Li Shenxing reached after a rough walk around the city center half an hour later.

Returning the same way, when passing by a small square, Li Shenxing was about to find a restaurant to buy a cup of coffee to drink, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Turning his head, he found Cha Seung-won and Yoo Hae-jin sitting on a chair a few meters away waving to him.

Li Shenxing walked over a few steps, pulled a chair and sat down, and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"

"I don't want to stay in the room and get sleepy, so I go out for a walk, find a place to drink coffee by the way, and just come out with this guy on front and back, so I sit here to pass the time. ”

While Cha Shengyuan was explaining, Liu Haizhen got up and went to buy coffee for Li Shenxing.

Although they didn't ask Li Shenxing what kind of coffee they wanted to drink, in their current situation, black coffee was undoubtedly the best choice, otherwise it would be difficult to stay up until the evening.

"Thank you, Brother Haizhen. ”

Li Shenxing took the coffee, took a sip, and slumped himself comfortably in the chair.

Che Shengyuan said: "Not to mention, if you come to live in this place for a period of time after getting old, you will feel quite comfortable." ”

"I didn't say anything as a big brother~!" Big brother Liu Haizhen habitually hit Cha Shengyuan.

"Am I not right? Although it was a question, Cha Shengyuan's tone was very affirmative.

"Did I say you weren't right?"

"I didn't say it, but I think that's what you're trying to say. ”

......

Li Shenxing, as a melon eater, thinks that the way the two get along is very interesting, just like a relatively strong mother and a slightly weaker father who are arguing over a little thing.

After sitting for a while, until the coffee was finished, the two reluctantly got up and left, and went to other places to walk around before returning to the hotel.
