Chapter 1340 Sunday & more than half of life
.
The hostel I stayed the night before was a grand room with only more than 30 beds, and there was only a common toilet and bathroom. Li Shenxing was the one who slept the closest to the upper bunk of the toilet.
However... from lying down at 9:30 pm until 7:30 the next morning, he only woke up once. After pulling out his earplugs and enjoying the "wonderful" snoring of a fat man in the neighboring bed for a while, Li Shenxing immediately brought the earplugs and continued his dream!
However, on the next day, I heard Xiaohu complain that it was a disaster for him to sleep on the bed. He basically didn't sleep well all night, and it was full of snoring sounds.
Looking at Xiaohu's face that seemed to have been in a night, Li Shenxing burst into laughter without sympathy. Xiaohu was so angry that he raised his fist to chase him.
They only walked 19km today, and they stopped at Carriondelos Condes. Thinking that the next 17km was in the scorching sun, there was no water source or supply point, so they decided to stay in first tomorrow morning and continue on the road, and enjoy the Sunday when God said he should rest!
After finding the address of a Hostal on the APP, I went to ask the price directly, and asked the difference between the Spanish Hotel Hostal that the boss had been puzzled for a long time. The boss said that it was just the difference between the number of rooms and the price of the hardware and facilities.
According to his experience of staying these days, Li Shenxing understands that this hotel can be considered as a hotel, but it may not be in the city, so he can only be called Hostal.
After checking in, I first looked for a small shop to supplement my food, because today was Sunday, most supermarkets in the village were not open, and in the end I only found a small shop that was open until noon.
Thinking that there would be no supply point for sitting down to enjoy breakfast at 17km tomorrow morning, Li Shenxing bought some bread, ham and drinks, which was the only time he had to prepare breakfast by himself after crossing the Pyrenees the next day.
When choosing the food, Li Shenxing also brought a pack of snacks and melon seeds. Not to mention, the Spanish sunflower seeds are no worse than domestic ones, and they actually have Japanese teriyaki Thai spicy and sour flavors.
The drinks are low-alcohol fruit wine made of various raspberries, which can be made into cocktails with cola, not to mention that the taste is really good.
Li Shenxing shares three meals a day with Hyoly every day. After watching too much, Hyoly said that he doesn’t have anything good to eat in Spain every day. Li Shenxing replied that if there is nothing good to eat in Spain, there is nothing to eat in Europe, because except Spain, Italy and France, other countries in Europe are basically junk food!
The dining on the road of pilgrimage is like this. Basically, the restaurants and bars along the way provide Menudeldia, including: bread + an appetizer + an appetizer + a main course + dessert + free red wine. There are five or six appetizers to choose from, and the price is about 10-12 euros. If you are a pilgrim set meal, it is less than 10 euros, but there are fewer choices of main courses, but the price in Europe is really great!
On Sunday, you can always see locals gathered together for mass by passing the church. Because of the Mass of the Last Supper, it is the most important religious ceremony of Catholicism.
Although Li Shenxing is not a believer, he has watched a lot and participated in the entire ceremony several times, and probably knows the process. After the ceremony, the priest preaches and recites the Bible's rituals. Then each believer goes to the stage to receive the communion and drinks holy wine, symbolizing the eating of Jesus' body and blood with Christ to obtain salvation, and then the rituals are received, and finally the rituals are completed.
Li Shenxing likes to feel the atmosphere of Mass because the whole church is silent and only the priest's magnetic voice resounds, so the whole body and mind will become particularly quiet and peaceful. But after all, he is not a Catholic, so he always hides in the corner of the last row every time.
Li Shenxing does not believe in any religion, but it does not mean that he has no faith. He believes that he should gain experience from his life experience, develop a deeper understanding of the world, and then constantly update himself.
Every stage of life will have a different understanding of faith, which has nothing to do with any religion, any inculcated by others, but only about yourself.
When he came out of the church and was preparing to find a restaurant to have dinner in the square, he actually met an old acquaintance. The next day, Camino met Dutch MM in Roncesvalles, a handsome guy whom Good Friday met two years younger than Li Shenxing, and Xiaohu. The four of them could rest or meet them almost every few days, but they passed each other. Either you were going to rush to the next place to stay or I was going to rush to the road today.
Finally, the four of them were able to have a cup and have a meal together that day. The 10-euro pilgrimage set meal, the Spanish pig hands were actually pork elbows, and the stewed tasted good. While eating, everyone talked about the various stories they encountered on the pilgrimage.
That day, after dinner, they found a bar to continue chatting. They didn't want to leave until it got late and they went back to the shelter to rest. Tomorrow everyone will continue to go on their own. Who knows when they will meet by chance!
Along the way, I was often asked why I came on the hiking pilgrimage route. In fact, before I set out, Li Shenxing just used it as a hiking trip to appreciate the customs and customs of northern Spain. However, after being asked a lot, I couldn't help but start thinking about this question himself.
In two years, Li Shenxing will be 40 years old. Forty years old can be said to be the middle point in his life. Li Shenxing thinks he is very happy in the first half of his life. He has never put pressure on himself in the past ten years since he was twenty. Whether in work, emotional or family relationships, although he is not idle, Yun Yehe is at least extremely free and easy.
So when Li Shenxing embarked on the pilgrimage with a little bit of trouble, he met people from different nationalities, different grades, different beliefs and backgrounds during the thirty-day journey. The stories behind so many, their own troubles, and even natural disasters and man-made disasters, he suddenly realized that what he said was not a problem at all!
Everyone has their own ways of self-reliance, venting, and practicing differently. It is impossible for you to learn from others. It is just like long-distance hiking, but if you blindly want to follow the pace of others' walking, it is absolutely undesirable. The only way is to seek your own rhythm at your pace every day and find the speed and distance that suits you the most.
Hiking is life, and your own rhythm is your own lifestyle. Don’t follow the trend, don’t regret it, and don’t pay attention to other people’s criticisms.
Now that we are almost halfway through life, what reason do we have to live as we like without regard for me!
Do you have to wait until you die before regretting this vain life?
