Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Portugal, in a restaurant on the streets of Viana do Castelo.

Old Tang had a piece of pizza in one hand and three empty boxes stacked beside him.

"Are you starving to death and reincarnating?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain.

Those three are all ten-inch pizzas, and people with small appetites may not be able to eat half of them.

"To be honest, I haven't had a full meal in two days. The last meal I only ate half a loaf of bread." Old Tang took a big gulp of Portuguese Super Pocket beer.

"Didn't you lose your wallet? You still have money to buy bread?" Lu Mingfei was surprised.

"I saw a child in the park holding bread and breaking crumbs to feed the pigeons." Old Tang said.

"I understand, you asked for the bread for the pigeons, right?" Even a heartless person like Lu Mingfei felt that Old Tang was a bit pitiful.

"No, I asked him for bread and he didn't give it to me," Old Tang shook his head. "I had to catch a pigeon and threaten him, saying that if he didn't give me bread, I would roast the pigeon and eat it."

Lu Mingfei took a breath: "Suddenly I feel like it's good for you to be hungry for two days."

"I am also a late hero. I have no choice." Old Tang sighed heavily.

"That's not what heroes are used to... I'll give you a dictionary next time." Lu Mingfei covered his face.

"Are you saying that my current situation is not considered late?" Old Tang asked.

"I mean you are not a hero." Lu Mingfei said sincerely.

"I'm so sad," Old Tang said loudly, cutting the Chinese into English, "Waiter, another Italian sausage pizza!"

Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched slightly: "Is your stomach a human structure?"

"I am sad, and I have to use food to fill the injured part," Old Tang said plausibly, holding out his chest. "Don't worry, I have learned Han Xin's story. I will never forget the kindness of a meal. Wait until I get a replacement bank card." , I’ll treat you to a feast at the best burger restaurant in the United States!”

"That's nonsense! Han Xin repaid the old lady a thousand pieces of gold for his kindness, so why don't you just treat me to a hamburger? What's your conscience?" Lu Mingfei shouted dissatisfied.

"If I had a thousand gold, each of us would get half of it!" Old Tang said decisively, patting his chest - he didn't have it anyway.

"By the way, why did you come to Portugal? Are you traveling?" Lu Mingfei asked, not bothering to argue with Old Tang about the favor of a meal.

Old Tang had a troubled look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Don't tell me that you are actually James Bond or 007, and you are now coming to Portugal on orders from the US government to prevent a deal in world-destroying weapons."

"Bond and 007 are the same person, and 007 is British," Old Tang scratched his head and said, "Logically speaking, I should just make up a reason to fool you, but we are all friends, and I have eaten so much from you in vain. thing……"

"Stop it!" Lu Mingfei quickly corrected, "It's not for free. I borrowed it from you and you have to pay it back."

"That's not the point! I'm telling you something very important right now. Don't focus on small things like pizza."

After Old Tang said this, he ate another piece of pizza.

"So what is going on?" Lu Mingfei was aroused by him.

"It's not very safe outside. Let's go to where you live and talk." Old Tang said.

"Damn! You start to whet my appetite when you're full, right?" Lu Mingfei said with a dark face.

"No way!" Old Tang frowned, "I haven't eaten enough yet!"

"Waiter, pay the bill." Lu Mingfei raised his hand and shouted.

"Mingfei, do you have enough money?" Old Tang asked worriedly, "Don't let us be detained to wash the dishes."

At first, he called Lu Mingfei by his group ID "Ming Ming", but Lu Mingfei thought it was too weird to hear such a name in real life, and it also felt weird to call him his usual nickname in the group "Big Head Bear" It was weird, so he simply asked Old Tang to call him by his first name.

"You look down on people too much. Just a few boxes of pizza soon..."

Lu Mingfei put his hand into his pocket, his hand and expression frozen together.

"What's wrong?" Old Tang's heart skipped a beat, "Did you lose your wallet too?"

"I didn't lose it," Lu Mingfei's face turned pale, "I don't think I had my wallet with me at all."

Tulio and Little Goddess were paying along the way, and he never used his wallet except to take out his ID.

"Then what should we do! How about we escape the bill," Old Tang stuffed all the pizza in his mouth, and then with a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand, he said with murderous intent, "Obviously you ran away first, I'm blocking you here!"

"Don't make trouble, I'll make a call."

Lu Mingfei took out his mobile phone and dialed a number skillfully.

…

Hotel, Su Xiaoqiang's room.

She was sorting out the photos she had taken at the table and putting them one by one into a beautiful handmade photo album spread out.

Of course, you have to bring a camera when you go out. This time they brought a digital camera, which was kept by Lu Mingfei. She also brought an extra Polaroid.

The photo on the table was taken with her Polaroid.

There are all kinds of photos, basically landscape photos taken by the four of them at sea, but there are not many of them. After all, the scenery at sea is really monotonous.

One of them shows Lu Mingfei holding an oversized cod - of course he didn't catch such a big fish, it was a fresh fish he bought from the old captain.

Holding this photo, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but laugh and muttered softly: "Humph... I want to save face."

She originally planned to put this photo in the album like the other photos, but something that Lu Mingfei said two nights ago when she was chatting with Lu Mingfei in the hotel living room about Elena's cousin's photo came up inexplicably.

"You can't even find their photos, yet you dare to say that you have the best relationship with them. Have you heard that your cousin is crying far away?"

"I watch TV shows, don't girls all like to put photos of their best friends in the compartments of their wallets or handbags..."

By the time Su Xiaoqiang reacted, she had already taken out her wallet and, while distracted, put the photo of Lu Mingfei holding the fish into the front compartment of her wallet.

The top part of the photo is outside the mezzanine, just showing Lu Mingfei's smiling head.

When Su Xiaoqiang realized what he had done, his head was empty, his heart was pounding, and he quickly wanted to take out Lu Mingfei's photo.

But the ringing of a phone call interrupted her.

After taking a look at the caller ID, Su Xiaoqiang's heart beat faster. He put the phone to his ear to answer the call and said calmly: "What's wrong?!"

"Help me, little goddess!" Lu Mingfei's wail echoed through the phone.

…

Hotel, Lu Mingfei suite, living room.

Lu Mingfei and Old Tang sat on the long sofa, and Su Xiaoqiang sat on the short sofa.

"Can you be more worthless?" Su Xiaoqiang covered his face, "When I went there, the waiter said that he almost thought you two were eating the King's meal."

Her eyesight is very accurate. We almost became the king's meal eaters.

Lu Mingfei muttered at the corner of his mouth, but still didn't dare to spit out this sentence.

"Then her vision is very accurate. We almost became the king's meal eaters." Old Tang said.

Lu Mingfei slapped himself in the face.

Another slap slapped Old Tang on the face.

"Who are you?" The little heavenly girl's tone was not polite. It was not that she was targeting Old Tang. She had this tone towards most people.

Old Tang was not annoyed at all. He took Lu Mingfei's hand off his face and smiled shyly at Su Xiaoqiang.

"Hello, sister-in-law, I am Lao Tang, a friend of Fei Ge's interstellar acquaintance. I live in Brooklyn, USA. I am of Chinese descent. I accidentally lost my wallet and ID card while traveling in Portugal. Fortunately, Fei Ge took action to save me from starving to death on the streets. Thank you so much. The virtuous little brother is unforgettable..."

Old Tang opened his mouth and introduced himself in a series, which was embarrassing for him. After all, he was a young man entering the society. He didn't hesitate to call Lu Mingfei, a high school student, "Brother Fei". It was like picking cotton with a black man. Just as smooth and natural.

But Su Xiaoqiang didn't actually pay much attention to what Old Tang said next. The first three words of Old Tang's mouth silenced both her and Lu Mingfei.

"Sister-in-law?!" Su Xiaoqiang's eyes widened.

Lu Mingfei also widened his eyes and said to himself, brother, you are quite capable of causing trouble, but you called the wrong person. Go next door and knock on the door to find my senior brother and sister. Call my senior brother "Brother" and then call me "Brother". "Sister-in-law," I can still count you as a wise and discerning person.

"Uh... I called you wrong?"

Old Tang scratched his head and suddenly realized: "Oh, according to Chinese customs, calling me sister-in-law is too rude. I should call you fei-sao!"

As he spoke, Old Tang stood up decisively and bowed deeply towards Su Xiaoqiang: "Good morning, Sister-in-law Fei!"

"What kind of sister-in-law is not a sister-in-law? I am his classmate. Don't talk nonsense. I am still a student. I am just eighteen years old. It will be at least four years before I can get married!" Su Xiaoqiang's face turned red. He waved his hands and glanced at Lu Ming subconsciously. Not just a glance.

Lu Mingfei understood immediately, nodded slightly towards Su Xiaoqiang, and gave her a "Don't worry, I understand" look.

Immediately, he kicked Old Tang on the butt and said viciously: "Let you talk nonsense!"

Fortunately, he didn't use much force, otherwise Old Tang could just kneel on the ground.

Su Xiaoqiang rubbed his hot face and felt that he couldn't carry it any longer: "I have to go home and pack my things, bye!"

Lu Mingfei wondered: "I've been here for several days, what are you going to pack now?"

"I'll go back and find my cousin's photo to show you!" Su Xiaoqiang said angrily.

When she mentioned the photo, she suddenly remembered that the photo of Lu Mingfei holding Yu Xiaoren Dezhi was still in her wallet.

When you have time, take out those crappy photos and put them in your photo album! Su Xiaoqiang thought viciously.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand why she stared at him fiercely after she finished speaking, as if he had bitten her and she would pounce at any time to retaliate.

"By the way, what's your full name?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Old Tang and asked.

"Ronald Tang." Old Tang said.

"Since you are Lu Mingfei's friend, then the expenses spent in Portugal should also be recorded in my account. Later, you can go to the front desk to get a room by yourself and say that you are a guest of the Salvador family." Su Xiaoqiang sat sideways with his knees together. She stood with her hands folded on her knees, like a graceful and noble mother-in-law.

"You are so generous!" Old Tang bowed his head.

Su Xiaoqiang grabbed his knees with both hands.

Lu Mingfei finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Old Tang in the air: "Shut up! You can smear me, but you can't smear my sponsor like this!"

Su Xiaoqiang's face was dark.

…

In the new room opened by Old Tang.

"Brother Fei, what are you doing?" Old Tang rubbed his butt, looking aggrieved.

Although Lu Mingfei's second kick was not full force, it was much harder than the first kick. Old Tang felt that his butt was swollen.

"Can you please stop being pretentious next time," Lu Mingfei threatened with a deliberately dark face, "I'm warning you, that girl is our financial backer. If you piss her off by making random jokes, we won't even have a ticket to leave Portugal." Can’t even afford it.”

This is a lie. None of him, Senior Brother Chu, or Su Qian is short of money. No matter what happens, the academy will never let them live in a foreign land. He just said this to deceive Old Tang.

Unexpectedly, Old Tang looked extremely confident: "How is it possible? I can see it at a glance. That girl is obviously interested in you. There is no way she will be angry."

"You and she just met ten minutes ago. Can you tell with that eye?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "If I remember correctly, you are still single like me, right? Now you are pretending to be a lover. It’s hard for me to believe you.”

"She is the girl who let you enter her bedroom to play on the computer, right?" Old Tang said plausibly, "She allows you to stay in her bedroom alone for a long time. It can be said that she is completely defenseless against you. I absolutely don’t believe she’s not interested in you!”

"Is there a possibility that she regards me as a brother, so she is not wary of me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Uh..." Old Tang lost his momentum.

"I know you're single and I can't trust you," Lu Mingfei complained, "Let's get down to business. What on earth are you doing in Portugal?"

"Ahem," Old Tang coughed lightly, "First of all, we have to start with my career. You must keep it a secret for me."

"Just now I was called Brother Fei, why am I called Mingfei now?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows.

"Before, I was trying to give my brother face in front of women!" Old Tang said, "Stop talking nonsense and promise me that you will keep it secret."

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it a secret," Lu Mingfei said.

Only then did Old Tang relax: "Actually, I am a bounty hunter."

"Bounty hunter?" Lu Mingfei wondered, "What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, our business relies on a website called Hunter Market. Employers post commissions on this website and hire us to do things by spending money or other valuable things. The specific things are all kinds of weird, but most of them are legal. The gray and even black areas on the edge range from grave robbing to arms smuggling," Old Tang said in a low voice, "There are even people who pay to kill people!"

Lu Mingfei looked surprised: "I can't tell you, Old Tang, are still a ruthless character!"

"How can I be such a ruthless character?" Old Tang cried with a sad face, "How can I kill a pig and let the pig chase it away?"

"Damn! It turns out to be the little Yakuza." Lu Mingfei looked disdainful.

"What a bastard? I have principles and a bottom line. I won't do anything particularly illegal or criminal, but just general illegal things. Besides, I often do good deeds," Old Tang said, "For example, I This mission is to come to Portugal to rescue a missing girl."

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

Missing girl?

Didn’t they come just because people would report them to Solomon’s Temple for human trafficking?

There...isn't there any connection between this?

Coincident plots from certain movies and animations passed through Lu Mingfei's mind, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

"Could the missing girl you're looking for be named Elena?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

"Elena? Who is it? I've never heard of it." Old Tang scratched his head.

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and said it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"The person I'm looking for is called Amber, and her full name is Amber Salvador Price." Old Tang said.

Lu Mingfei:...
