Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Finally, Su Xiaoqiang, a wealthy man, treated him to a treat.

It's not that Lu Mingfei has no money, but it's so rude to compete with the host to pay money on someone else's property.

The old captain's cod is a little more expensive than the market price, but it's not an exorbitant price. The quality of the cod on the ship is much better than ordinary cod. Not only does the chef grill the fish on site, but he also provides free lemonade, beer and rum.

Only then did Lu Mingfei realize that the rums placed on the mini bar were not pirate ship-style decorations, but actually drinkable.

As night falls, the stars in the sky are reflected in the sea, and the ship seems to be sailing in the night sky.

The bonfire with fire prevention measures was burning on the deck. Lu Mingfei and the others sat around the bonfire. The chef grilled fish over the bonfire. Lu Mingfei and the others took over the fish cooked by the chef from time to time. The fire illuminated everyone. His face was red, and there was a fire extinguisher in an inconspicuous corner.

The old captain was also sitting here, eating the grilled fish he bought at his own expense.

According to him, he must be present during the whole process of using fire in a flammable area. If an accident occurs, he can direct the firefighting immediately. If not, at least as the captain, he can die in the fire and coexist with the ship.

Lu Mingfei said, Don't make trouble. That was the style of pirates in the Victorian era.

The old captain's mouth was full of oil, and he patted his chest and said, Brother, you are very discerning. My ancestors were actually pirates, and they were very famous back then. They were legendary pirates.

Lu Mingfei complained about why your ancestors were pirates but you looked so proud. The old captain proudly said that his ancestors were great pirates and never plundered supplies. They only relied on exploring and transporting valuable supplies. To maintain a living, but also to fight against unruly pirates and protect civilians.

Lu Mingfei licked his lips for a long time, then slapped his thigh and said, Don't fool me, isn't this the Pirate King?

The old captain became excited all of a sudden. He said that he was right. When his ancestors traveled across the sea, they had the reputation of One Piece.

Generally speaking, this kind of conversation would not occur between adult men over the age of fourteen. However, there was wine beside the campfire. Everyone was drunk and blowing all kinds of outrageous things. The chef also said that he had seen it in the sea. The legendary king squid swims under the boat, its shadow like a dark island.

Chu Zihang Science Popularization King squid only lives in the deep sea, at least two hundred meters below sea level. The chef has a higher chance of seeing a sperm whale. The chef said with a big tongue, I will talk about sperm whales next time.

Just as he was talking, the old captain suddenly stood up and said that his ancestors had left a saber, which was now hanging on the wall of the cabin. He went to take it out to prove that he was not bragging.

He ran into the cabin with a thump thump thump and ran out with a thump thump thump. He had a pirate scimitar in his hand. There was no decoration on the knife, but the light was as bright as the moon and as cold as frost and snow. At first glance, it looked like he was really killing people. The enemy's sword.

It is said that my ancestors encountered sirens at sea... You know sirens, they are beautiful women with fish tails who would confuse sailors with their songs and eat them. The old captain was also drunk and shouted. Tongue said, My ancestor was unparalleled in integrity and bravery. He was not affected by the sirens' songs. He sealed the ears of his sailors with wax, tied them to the mast, and then faced the sirens alone with this knife. Ren, split them from the waist and split them into two...

Lu Mingfei interrupted him and said, Don't be ridiculous. Plugging your ears and tying the mast was what Odysseus and his sailors did in Greek mythology. If he was your ancestor, your family history would have to go back to Homer's epic.

The old captain muttered something and took the scimitar back.

There was a cheerful atmosphere on the deck.

When they got excited, everyone sang around the campfire, first popular songs, then classic hits. Su Xiaoqiang and Su Xi sang a song Ocean, Hometown. The girls' voices were ethereal and beautiful, but the occasional wine burp affected the rhythm.

Lu Mingfei wanted to sing a song Sailor with all his heart, but he had only learned the violin and not singing. After singing a few lines, Su Xiaoqiang, who was so drunk that his face was red, flew up and hung an arm on his Neck, a hand covering his mouth, forehead against forehead, drunken eyes but with swords and swords threatening him to stop his voice, if he can't sing, just shut his mouth, if he sings like a tsunami, no one can escape.

Lu Mingfei whispered that no matter how unpleasant the sound was, it would not cause a tsunami. Chu Zihang nodded in agreement with a cold face, saying that sound waves would not cause tsunamis, but could only cause avalanches in snowy mountains, but that was just because of the vibration, and the singing along was not pleasant to listen to. relation.

The old captain only spoke Portuguese and English and could not understand the Chinese songs of these people. In order to blend in with the crowd, he said that he could teach them a pirate ballad. The origin of this song is unknown, but it has been popular on the sea for hundreds of years. .

Everyone joined together to sing pirate songs on the pirate ship. It suited the occasion, so everyone simply raised a glass of rum - this is the favorite drink of pirates.

Under the leadership of the old captain, everyone sang and danced around the bonfire, singing pirate folk songs: We are pirates/fierce pirates/holding a wine bottle in our left hand/holding treasure in our right hand/we are pirates/free pirates/beautiful girls /Please come to my arms...

Until Su Xiaoqiang was infected by this heroic spirit and drank the rum he was using as a performance prop in one gulp.

After drinking the fifty-degree distilled spirit, she blinked and fell neatly into Lu Mingfei's arms beside her.

Lu Mingfei quickly took Su Qian to the girls' bedroom to rest - there were two guest bedrooms on the ship, one for girls and one for boys.

Su Qian was actually almost drunk. After putting Su Xiaoqiang on the bed, she also fell on the bed with her head covered, but she was still conscious and reminded Lu Mingfei to lock the bedroom door for them.

Lu Mingfei took the key, went out, locked the door, and then returned to the deck with the key.

Walking to the deck, he saw in a blink of an eye that his senior brother had also drunk, and the chef had also drunk. Only the old captain was still standing proudly in the moonlight holding a wine bottle. The moonlight covered his body like frost. He was really lonely as a master. Like snow.

Although Senior Brother Chu is also a mixed race, he rarely drinks and he is an honest person. He will drink when someone advises him to drink, and it is strange if he does not drink.

Lu Mingfei carried Chu Zihang and sent him to their bedroom to rest, and then went back to the deck despite being drunk to see if the old captain needed help.

Although the old captain had a muscular body and a white beard, he didn't mind lending a hand if his old arms and waist couldn't carry the chef.

But when he got to the deck, Lu Mingfei found that the chef was no longer there, and the old captain was standing on the ship's bow, praying devoutly in a certain direction.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes and looked in that direction. There seemed to be a dark building on the sea, but because it was too far away, it looked like a Lego brick.

He casually picked up the telescope on the deck - it was originally used by tourists to enjoy the sea view.

The moonlight was bright tonight, and through the moonlight and telescope, Lu Mingfei finally saw clearly that there was a lonely island on the sea with an open-air building similar to a palace or a church.

That's the shrine of Our Lady of Angonia, our local belief. The old captain had finished the service and walked over with a bottle of rum to explain. She is the patron saint of fishermen and people who go to sea. She is in Viana Castello. There is also her temple in the town, which was the original temple. Before this temple was built, we would always go there to pray for her blessing.

The old captain does not understand Chinese, but everyone can still communicate basically in English.

Building a temple on an island will cost a lot of money, right? Lu Mingfei sighed.

That temple is not very close to the coastline, so it will definitely cost a lot of money, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover the cost.

I heard that it was funded by the Sacred Heart Cathedral on the Santa Lucia Mountain, the old captain said. They are very rich and have invested in many industries in Viana Castello. It is said that the clergy in the Shrine of Our Lady of Anguonia are also them. people.

It's so rich. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, there are many times more people who believe in them than those who believe in Our Lady of Anguonia...cough cough cough cough cough... Halfway through the sentence, the old captain suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently, bending his waist.

Lu Mingfei was shocked, thinking, could this be blasphemy and being punished by God?

Are the local gods so narrow-minded?

He quickly went over to support the old captain. After a long time, the old captain stopped coughing and his palms were full of blood.

Under the cold moonlight, the blood on the dark, rough hands was not particularly noticeable, like an extra stain on the floor of the old house.

Are you... are your gum bleeding serious? Lu Mingfei tried to liven up the atmosphere.
