Today is Sunday. There are more tourists in the Plaza de España than usual.

From time to time, you can also see tourist groups from all over the world appearing on the square, they are coming at the statue of Cervantes on this square.

As the most famous literary master in Spain, Don Quixote shaped by Cervantes is a household name. His statue now stands like a statue overlooking Don Quixote and Sancho in the center of the square.

The square itself was built to commemorate Cervantes, and it was built in 1930 for some years. It is only because of Cervantes that this square has become a popular place for people to visit. Many tourists like to take a group photo next to the Don Quixote statue to show that they are here.

But Chang Sheng was not interested in admiring the statues of Cervantes and Don Quixote.

Although he crouched in front of the statues of Cervantes and Don Quixote.

The Spanish Plaza on Sunday was full of people, and the chairs for people were full, and even the edge of the fountain was full of people, so he could only squat in front of these two groups of statues.

But even so, he could not enjoy his lunch quietly.

Because of his location, people will come and take pictures with the statue.

A favorite of a team of tourists from all over the world is to take a group photo in front of the famous Don Quixote and Sancho statue, proving that they have been to Plaza Espanya, Madrid, and Spain.

And Chang Sheng happened to occupy their group photo position.

People kept coming up and asking him to move and move.

Chang Sheng moved in this way, moved, moved from the left to the right, from the right to the left.

In the end he was annoyed. When another group of tourists came to him and wanted to take a photo, he suddenly stood up from the ground and startled the other party.

Then he patted the **** without saying a word, and went around behind the statue. Although there are many people resting here, at least no one will run to the back of the statue to take a group photo-who wants to show up in his picture Donkey **** …

He squatted down behind the statue again, just as he crouched by the court to think about the problem. He looked at the crowd of weaves in front of his eyes with no focus.

He had a bite of whole-wheat bread sticks in his hand, about half a meter long, and had a very hard taste. This is one of the staple foods of the Spaniards, it is very strenuous to bite, the Chinese are not used to this taste. Chang Sheng is not used to it, but there is no way, he can only eat this now.

After a while, he took another bite of the bread, then chewed hard, with a greasy expression, and it was no exaggeration to describe it with “gritting teeth”. As if he was biting not bread, but the body of a **** …

After being rejected by Atletico Madrid, he spent almost two months in almost all of Spain, not to travel, but to find a job for himself.

But now, the new season of 1999-2000 has begun, he has not yet found a suitable job.

There are various reasons. There are problems with the club as well as his problems.

Either the other party couldn’t look down on him; or his suspect’s salary was too low, just like he was asking for food; or he didn’t expect the job; or the club didn’t even give him a chance to meet him …

In short, after more than two months, he traveled all over Spain, spent his last salary from Real Madrid, and was still an unemployed person.

In order to find a job, he returned the house he rented in Madrid.

Now, except for the piece of bread in his hands, he has only 231 pesetas left and right.

At this time, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Seta is one US dollar equal to 180 pesetas. Chang Sheng now has no more than two dollars on him.

Spain has been inflation for four consecutive years in 1999, and now is the time when prices are soaring, there is not much that the two hundred pesetas can do.

Fortunately, the hotel room rate is prepaid, otherwise he can’t afford the hotel. Even the cheapest hotel chain.

But the room fee he paid was only enough for him to live until tomorrow. If he couldn’t find a job tomorrow, he might have to sleep like a tramp.

The last victory of the last life, even if it is miserable, is not so bad.

Do you really want him to experience everything his brother has experienced again? Does that mean you have to go to the trash can for food next?

I also thought about using my cognition to lead the world for 13 years to make some money first.

But soon he admitted failure.

As a full-time senior football otaku in the previous life, he was not interested in anything but football.

He does not remember the winning numbers of any lottery. He has heard that some stocks are hot, such as Google, Yahoo, etc., but he has no start-up funds. Even if it’s gambling … There was a America’s Cup in the summer of 1999, but betting on gambling is not that simple. If you only know the outcome of the game, you can only earn a limited amount of money from winning. What splash. Unless he can still remember the score of each game, but who would remember such a remote game like the Copa America? Chang Sheng is not a loyal fan of American football. If he is not allowed to use Baidu, how can he remember so clearly?

Even if he knows the big things that affect the trend of international politics and economy, he can’t make money for himself.

Can he go to the United States and say to the US government, “I know you are going to have a big deal in 2001. If you give me a large sum of money, I will tell you the specific date”? I’m afraid that after he did this, he would either be put in prison or be deported directly from the United States …

Returning to China, real estate is a profitable thing, but on the one hand, he does not have the capital and can’t afford a house. In addition, even if he can afford a house and wait for the house to appreciate, he will starve to death …

After copying the online novels of the great gods? In 1999, the Chinese Internet was still a paradise for liberals. It was written for free for others to read. Some people saw it as exaggerating you, and dare to collect money? Taiwan publishing can make money, but it is rare after all. And still the same sentence-far from hydrolyzing near thirst. Even if he can successfully publish in Taiwan, it is estimated that he has become hungry.

In short, he has no other means to feed him other than finding a job immediately.

If it doesn’t work …

Just go to a Chinese restaurant to wash the dishes?

This job of brushing dishes does not have much technical content, nor does it require academic qualifications and work experience. He should be able to do it.

The pursuit of dreams is certainly worthy of respect and blood, but first of all, we have to feed ourselves before we talk about it. Otherwise, starve to death on the road of pursuing dreams, who is it?

Chang Sheng, who was caught in another delusion, suddenly felt a little dark in front of him.

When he recovered, he found an old man standing in front of him.

He looked up.

The clothes are neat and tidy, but the collocation is very weird. Maybe after ten years, everyone will think that this is a post-modern style, very avant-garde and fashionable, but now there is only one feeling-this is a beggar.

The old beggar stood in front of Chang Sheng, looked at him, silently, but just extended his right hand.

Chang Sheng looked around. He was surrounded by people, stopped people and walking people, but the old beggar seemed to be the only one in his eyes, standing in front of him and extending his hand to him.

Chang Sheng did not wave this old beggar away, don’t disturb him thinking about life.

He just opened his hand to the person in front of him and said, “I have a set of two hundred and thirty-one peseta all over my body. But I can’t give you the money because I live on it.”

There were many people around, some of them were in a hurry, some were walking leisurely, and walked around from Chang Sheng and the old beggar. But no one cast his gaze here, Chang Sheng looked at it, these people all passed by as usual, without even squinting.

Even if Westerners pay more attention to privacy, can’t they be squinting?

He felt strange.

But now is not the time to think about it, the beggar has not stood still in front of himself.

And it seems that he doesn’t give up until he achieves his goal.

Chang Sheng looked at him again and saw that the beggar was staring at the bread in his hand, his eyes full of desire.

This is one of the staples of the Spanish, a baguette, about half a meter long. He originally chose to buy this bread originally to eat half at noon, leaving half to eat for dinner. As a person who can’t even get two dollars in his pocket, he can only save so much frugality. He doesn’t even know where to pay for the three meals tomorrow.

But now it seems that this supper cannot be guaranteed.

He sighed: “Okay, okay, I only took a few bites of this bread. If you don’t dislike it, I’ll give you half.

The other party did not object.

Chang Sheng carefully broke this bread in half.

The reason for being cautious is that he doesn’t want to spill too much breadcrumbs. Now he is not qualified to waste food.

He handed the half he didn’t bite to the old beggar.

The beggar did not refuse to say anything.

It seems to be really hungry.

While biting the bread, the beggar sat down beside Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng looked at this uninvited old man and suddenly found it interesting.

With so many people here, how did he find himself?

But for himself, he is a stranger, and he may not have any intersection in his future life.

The same for him, he is also a stranger, and there will be no intersection in the rest of his life.

After two months of struggling to pursue his dream, he finally ran out of food. Today, some depressed and hesitant Chang Sheng suddenly had a desire to talk. Is n’t the old beggar sitting next to him munching on bread? Is it a good listener? ?

He wanted to tell a story to this old beggar, of course, not his story, but his brother’s story.

“Hey, do you want to hear the story?” He asked the beggar beside him.

The beggar raised his head, and his lips were covered with bread crumbs.

He carefully licked those bread crumbs with his tongue, and this was the first time he spoke: “Please.

“So you are not dumb …” Chang Sheng rolled his eyes when he heard him.

Then he began to tell the story of his brother to this old beggar who never knew him.

It was really a legendary epic in pursuit of dreams …
