Chapter 1291 Arrival

"Even if you just take a look at the house in Santiago, it's a pilgrimage." - Dante.

There is a holy city, which is said to be buried with the remains of St. James, the disciple of Jesus. Devoted believers set out from all over the continent, carried crosses, took shells as tokens, and hiked here on foot.

There is a road that starts from the Pyrenees on the border between the West and France, or from the lepuy farther away, extends to the land in northern Spain and arrives at the holy city at the western end of the border.

Thousands of 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 shocked, and a holy city called Rome and Jerusalem rose suddenly.

Thousands of years later, the temple at the remote end of the continent has been covered with moss for a long time, but what has not been cut off is that the devout pilgrims have practiced for a long 800-kilometer road, paying attention to the remains of the saints, waiting for the ancient mercy. Or it is just a physical and mental journey, or a simple exile without any purpose.

People are on the road for various reasons, but they can always find the answers they need from this ancient road of faith. This holy path has not been disenchanted by the reduction of religious factors, but has become increasingly a universal value and a station for the souls of modern people.

As people say: "On the road to San Diego, you can find everything you want except sex."

When traveling in Spain, Li Shenxing had heard and watched those who were doing pilgrimage. Some of them looked tired and confused, while others had a firm look on their eyes, while others had curiosity in exploring the world. At first, he didn't understand why they worked so hard to "torture" him, until Li Shenxing was lucky enough to attend a mass specially prepared for pilgrims.

You can never underestimate the shock that the ritual of the furnace brings to a hiking pilgrim.

The huge incense burner forged in brass and silver was pulled slowly by the efforts of the eight priests, until the dome of the church, and the sacred incense drifted in the low and distant mass. The incense burner ran over his head and shook every fragment of his soul. At this time, every person present was a devout believer.

After the sermon, the pilgrims can receive the bishop's communion—like a piece of candy paper. Put it in their mouths, and the warm sweetness seems to strip away all the pain and troubles.

Under this permeable holy light, some people shook hands and said goodbye to each other, some hugged the statue of Jacob, some just sat there quietly, and some were already in tears.

Although Li Shenxing was just a bystander, he was still shocked by the piety of the saints and the deep resonance of the pilgrims. When he came to his senses, he had tears from the beginning. However, he did not feel embarrassed or uncomfortable because there were many people here who were crying even harder than him.

After a long 15+ hours of flight, the "Spain Boarding" team finally landed safely at the Bahanas Airport, the capital of Spain.

Although there is a short turnover time that allows them to take a breath and move a little, the long flight still makes everyone feel very tired. This is not only a mental torture, but also a double torture of flesh and body.

This is the first time that Li Shenxing has been on the plane for such a long time, so when he got off the plane, he swears that this situation will never be next time. It is really tormenting. He thought that taking the train during the Spring Festival travel rush was the cruelest experience, but he didn't expect that there was something even more excessive, which directly refreshed his ability to bear.

But fortunately, Luo PDF did not choose to transfer flights multiple times to save money, otherwise they would still be enjoying the torment on the plane.

When they left the airport and arrived at the hotel where they stayed, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

After completing the check-in procedures, everyone went back to their rooms to repair them. Under Luo PDF, they walked to a local restaurant not far from the city center.

The ordering work was handed over to the translator. In order to let them better understand the local food, the translator ordered local specialties. Paella is essential, as well as Spanish dumplings, a kind of food similar to pie, which tastes good.

There is also a dish with octopus as the main ingredient, which is also very delicious. Li Shenxing also asked the translator's name of the dish - polbo á feira. I didn't encounter this dish when I came to play before, but I didn't expect it to be quite delicious.

Seeing that Li Shenxing had a special liking for this dish, Che Shengyuan also moved this 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 she knew Li Shenxing for a short time and the two of them could play together.

After eating some things to fill his stomach, Cha Shengyuan suddenly took out a thick card from his pocket. This was a card he specially prepared for groceries. In addition to the color photos of the ingredients printed on it, it was also marked in Korean and Spanish. With such cards, even if he didn't know Spanish, he could buy what he wanted according to the pictures.

However, Che Shengyuan was not sure whether his Spanish translated in Google was completely correct, so he took it out and wanted the translation lady to help review it.

Even Luo PDF didn't know that Che Shengyuan had made such preparations. He took the card with a look of surprise and looked it up. He found that the ingredients on the card were basically common in Spain and could be bought. Even the meat was marked in detail with the names of each part. The pictures were matched with them and it was clear at a glance. There was no need to say much, just click the order according to the picture.

This shows how serious and important Che Shengyuan attaches great importance to his work.

Of course, it is not that Li Shenxing and Liu Haizhen do not take this film seriously and seriously. This is just that everyone's performance is different.

At the dinner table, everyone listened to the translator briefly talked about some things in the village where they were filmed, such as shops in the village, local customs and other very daily but useful information.

After dinner, everyone returned to the accommodation site.

In order to adjust the time difference, Li Shenxing did not go to rest. He went back to the room to take a shower, changed into a comfortable and stylish casual outfit, and left alone with a slanted waist bag.

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

However, what Li Shenxing didn't know was that he had just left, and Che Shengyuan and Liu Haizhen, who were living next door, also left the room and walked out of the hotel one after another.

The three of them thought the others would rest in the room, so they didn't call each other, but they didn't expect that the three of them would go together.

Madrid is worthy of being the capital city, and the place is quite large. This is the conclusion that Li Shenxing got after a rough walk in the city center after half an hour.

When he returned the same way, he passed by a small square. When Li Shenxing was about to find a restaurant to buy a cup of coffee, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Turning back and looking, I found Cha Shengyuan and Liu Haizhen were 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?"

"If you don't want to stay in the room and feel sleepy, you can go out for a walk and find a place to have coffee. You just happened to come out with this guy and sit here to pass the time."

When Cha Shengyuan explained, Liu Haizhen got up and went to buy coffee for Li Shenxing.

Although he didn't ask what coffee Li Shenxing wanted to drink, in their current situation, black coffee is undoubtedly the best choice, otherwise it would be difficult to survive until the evening.

"Thank you, Brother Haizhen."

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

Cha Shengyuan said: "Not to say it, if you come to live in this place for a while after you get old, you will feel quite comfortable."

"I, the big brother, didn't say anything~!" The big brother Liu Haizhen habitually hit Che Shengyuan.

"Am I wrong?" Although it was a question, Cha Shengyuan's tone was very certain.

"Did I say you're wrong?"

"Although I didn't say it, I think that's what you want to express."

......

As a melon-eating crowd, Li Shenxing felt that the way they got along was fun, and it was a bit like a relatively strong mother, and a slightly weaker father was bickering about a trivial matter.

After sitting for a while, the three of them reluctantly got up and left, and went to another place for a walk before returning to the hotel.
