Since leaving Burgos, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu have to walk more than 30 kilometers every day, and they all feel that the road conditions are not challenging and the scenery is very boring. The straight flat ground is endless, or the engines of vehicles whistle by each other from time to time.

Li Shenxing began to understand why the nearly 200 kilometers from Burgos to Leon mentioned in the materials I read before is the most boring part of Camino, and you can choose to take a bus to skip this part. But don’t underestimate this dullness and boredom. In such an environment, you can avoid the many temptations you see from your eyes and your ears to listen to, so that you can pay more attention to your own thinking or completely empty.

Day after day, so boring that when I passed by the village, I was extremely excited when I saw the plaids of the hopscotch game when I was a child. Li Shenxing always thought that this was just a traditional Chinese game, but I didn't expect that there was also Spain. Li Shenxing and Xiaohu both put down their backpacks and played the plaid-scissors like children who haven't grown up.

The world is really big, and what we usually see is just a little bit small.

We walked all the way until it was almost noon when we saw an Albergue with a small garden. Li Shenxing and Xiaohu stopped and planned to have a beer to take a break. However, when we ordered wine, we saw that the menu in their house actually had Chinese. This was the first time they saw a Chinese menu on the road of pilgrimage. This discovery surprised them very much, so we decided to solve the lunch here.

There was only a simple pizza to choose from at noon. According to usual habits, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu ordered one each, but after the pizza was served, they were both frightened and thought that the pizza that was just a normal portion would be so huge. But let alone, the taste was really delicious. Based on the principle of not wasting, both of them were overeat, so they had enough rest here for an hour before they could get up and move forward.

Continue to walk along the country road, thinking nothing, but it seems like I have been circulating repeatedly in my mind for the rest of my life.

After walking for several kilometers, I watched the sky go from blue sky and white clouds to thickening clouds to dark clouds. The hills in the distance were obviously raining, and I kept wondering how long it took for the rain clouds to float over.

Then he walked and walked, and looked forward to it, but it just didn't come. After walking for another half an hour, hesitated whether to put down his backpack and take it out for more than ten days. When he had not had the chance to use the raincoat, the heavy rain fell mercilessly. He didn't even have time to put on the raincoat, and he was submerged in front of him and turned gray.

Because it was also very strong, the wind was mixed with rain and it poured into the mouth, so neither of them wanted to speak, so they could only walk silently with their heads down.

What you can see in front of you is the water dripping from the brim of the raincoat, and what you can hear in your ears is the rhythmic friction sound of the raincoat making with your steps.

The rain brought the temperature down by more than ten degrees, and the body temperature immediately lowered. The gravel trail formed many small puddles due to rain, which became more humid and slippery, making walking more depressed.

The rain lasted for about ten minutes, and the dark clouds above my head drifted away, and the horizon in the distance seemed to be blue.

Slowly turned into tiny raindrops, and then the sky gradually cleared up. Li Shenxing did not take off his raincoat because he wanted to dry it with the sun, which could prevent wind and keep it warm. After walking for another half an hour, a bright sun appeared above his head. The sky was so blue that it was almost gone, and the traces of rain on the ground had almost disappeared. Only the still wet ends of his hair were witnesses of the first rain on his pilgrimage.

It seemed that after walking for a lifetime, I finally arrived at Reliegos, where I settled today, and they chose a shelter that looked relatively new and walked in.

The hostess in the shelter did not have English, and it was very difficult for Xiaohu to communicate with her, but in the end it was completed with his gesture. Although the hostess who was not good at English was delicious, the food was delicious, which made Li Shenxing and Xiaohu, who had a big appetite, ate a hard meal.

In fact, Li Shenxing belongs to a kind of person who is somewhat blind [Note: The premise is that he does not remember the other party very carefully]. Along the way, other pilgrims greeted him enthusiastically and said to him. When Li Shenxing only felt that they looked familiar with each other, but he was embarrassed to ask where we had seen him?

For example, on the second day, they crossed the Pyrenees and had dinner with Seattle MM at Roncesvalles, and on the third day, they stayed in the same Albergue with the handsome Dutch guys in Larrasoana. And they often met in the town they stayed in or lived in the same hostel, but even so, they never proposed to walk together or meet together on the road.

Each pilgrim has different hiking styles and routines. Some people are rational and will study the route carefully before departure every day to determine where to stay every day and will not change. Some people will follow the script and decide to stay in a place because of the characteristic town or Albergue recommended by guide books or other guides.

Li Shenxing is a fearless lazy man. He never learned about the distance of the next town in advance, nor did he know the landmarks worth seeing on the road and the stories behind these places. Because of his ignorance, perhaps he missed many wonderful things or missed many beautiful things.

But it is also because of his ignorance that everything becomes simple, without making too many choices, and without worrying about unnecessary things.

Should I continue to walk, wherever I go, and wait until he reaches the last point that must be decided before making a decision. Why make a decision early in the morning?

“It is your camino. You will meet people on the way, but no one can walk for you, but yourself.” Following your own heart is the meaning of the pilgrimage road!

Today continues the rainy weather of the previous day. The sky in the early morning was particularly gloomy, with thick dark clouds pressing on the horizon, leaving only a golden morning glow.

Li Shenxing especially likes such a vast and atmospheric scene, which is very rich in layers, which also indicates that it may not be too popular today.

It took 6 hours and 24km to walk, the two of them arrived at their destination today, Leon.

León, the capital of the province of Leon, Castilla-León Autonomous Region. In the Middle Ages, it was the capital of the Leon Kingdom, with a history of more than 2,000 years.

The old town Casco Antiguo is famous for its Gothic churches and other famous historic buildings as well as architectural remains mainly from the Roman and medieval periods.

For example, Leon Cathedral was built in the 13th century, a masterpiece of Romanesque mixed Goethe-style church; San Isidoro, a large Romanesque church and monastery, has the royal pantheon, which is the tomb of the royal family of the Leon Kingdom in the Middle Ages, and also has some of the best collections of Romanesque oil paintings in the world today and a museum; San Marcos Church, which was originally a military convention and the home of the soldier Santiago, was built in the 16th century, etc.

The shelter we stayed in today does not have a dryer, so in such weather, the clothes may not be able to dry tomorrow, so after washing up, Li Shenxing could only find a public laundry room under the guidance of his boss. The only downside is that he is a little far from the hostel where he is staying.

In order to wait for the clothes to dry, Li Shenxing had no choice but to spend 2.5 euros to eat a potato cake and a glass of white wine in the bar next door. The boss actually gave him a small sandwich. Well, it's delicious for free.

Li Shenxing returned to the shelter with his dried clothes.

When he got up from the nap, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Li Shenxing immediately made an appointment with his friends to continue going out for food and drink without saying a word.
