I didn't become a human today

Ji Ran has never been to Xingxing Island, but he has heard of many strange sights that can only be seen on Xingxing Island. Ji Ran counted those rumors from the mouths of local fishermen, roughly as follows.

It is said that in the sea area near the star-studded island, there are flowers growing on the sea. Those flowers that grow in the sea water will emit light. At night, the flowers can illuminate the entire sea area. People who see those flowers will go crazy.

The second is that there are often groups of giant whales near the star island. Those giant whales are so fierce that they can easily overturn the fishing boats that approach.

The third story is that there are many bloodthirsty monsters living on Zhuixing Island. They take killing people for fun and are extremely vicious.

Ji Ran figured it out, in the mouth of these fishermen, all the remarks about Star Dot Island were bad, and these people decided that it was a terrible place, no matter how he explained, they couldn't accept it.

"Brother Hoshino, I think we have to stay here for a while. I want to see why those people have such a big prejudice against Star Island."

Liang Xingye agreed with Ji Ran. Although the local fishermen settled them here, he vaguely felt that those fishermen did not have much kindness towards them. They kept him and Ji Ran here just to change them. Let them know the horror of the star island.

Ji Ran couldn't wait any longer, so he dragged Liang Xingye away, "There's such a big commotion outside, let's go and have a look."

The beach of the fishing village is surrounded by local villagers.

Liang Xingye discovered that although this fishing village was small, the hierarchy was very strict. The head of the fishing village was the only one in the family. In this marginal area, he seemed to be a small ruler. There were countless villagers around him.

In the center of the crowd stood the village chief and a young man who looked refined and refined. Unlike other dark-skinned villagers, he picked the sea flowers back.

Ji Ran and Liang Xingye stood on the outside watching, and the middle-aged village head immediately stood up to deal with the matter.

The scholar held the sea flower, and was still arguing with other villagers, "This flower is not poisonous, and it will not lose your mind. You are all wrong, and everyone has been wrong all along!"

Ji Ran looked at the flower in the scholar's hand, and had to say that the flower was really beautiful, like a rose, with layers of white petals wrapped in layers, very thick.Different from other flowers, this sea flower seems to have only one bud, no rhizome, and floats on the water surface entirely by the buoyancy of the petals. Under the refraction of sunlight, the petals are vaguely translucent, but from another angle, they are still pure white.

The villagers looked at the flowers and became emotional for a while, "What do you mean, did you pick such unlucky flowers and come back to harm us?"

"Hurry up and throw it away! Everyone will be killed by you!"

The scholar only had one mouth, and this time he was still trying his best to argue with everyone, "Listen to me, there is really nothing wrong with this flower, it's just a flower, it won't harm anyone, it has always been We were the ones who believed the rumours.”

The village chief stood in the crowd with a straight face from the beginning to the end, and this time he finally lost his composure and said, "Everyone calm down!"

With just one sentence, the chattering villagers immediately quieted down. Ji Ran admired such a deterrent force.

The head of the fishing village folded his hands and looked at the scholar with a serious face, "Zimo, didn't you go to rush for the exam? Why did you come back from the sea and pick this kind of flower? You have been at sea for so long Did you spend it?"

The scholar's name is Rui Zimo, and he is a rare promising child in the local fishing village. Rui Zimo's parents never let him participate in fishing in order to let him study at ease and gain fame.

He was different from those young people of similar age in the fishing village. Most of those children went fishing with their parents early to earn money. The skin is all white.

Everyone was looking forward to him picking up the sage book with both hands, taking the exam to win glory for the fishing village, but he said he was going to catch the exam, but he came back from the sea after a long time of no news!

Facing everyone's doubts, Rui Zimo said frankly, "I didn't rush for the exam..." with a small voice...

"What!" Rui Zimo's elderly parents who were present almost fainted on the spot.

"In order to save money for your exam, we went out to sea fishing from morning to night, how could you... how could you do this..." His mother collapsed on the ground and cried, and the surrounding fishermen helped her up one after another.

Rui Zimo took out the silver taels intact, "I haven't touched any of these silver coins." He looked at his elderly mother helplessly, "Mother, I just like reading, not fame and fortune."

"Bastard, studying is for future fame and fortune, why are you so ignorant!" Rui Zimo's father picked up the broom and smacked him on the back in public.

Rui Zimo felt that it didn't make sense to others, but he still tried his best to explain, "It is because I read a lot of books that I found out that many things are not what I originally thought. I don't want to chase fame and fortune. Bound by fame and fortune!"

Ji Ran felt that there was nothing wrong with these words, he and Brother Xingye could understand the scholar's thoughts.

"It's a pity that there are a few people in the fishing village who have read books. The difference in their thinking is not a small one, but a big one! Those who go fishing from morning to night have never read half a book in their lives, and they can't understand it at all. Scholar." Ji Ran sighed.

Liang Xingye also sighed, "Scholars' knowledge comes from books, and they are no longer the same kind of people. The gap between him and fishermen's thinking is already an insurmountable gap. The more he explains, the more If they are not understood, this is the helplessness of scholars."

The village chief coughed, and this time he only used gestures to silence the others, and they all listened to him alone.

"For such a long time, we all thought you were going to catch up for the exam. Where did you go? Have you ever been to Xingxing Island?"

Everyone was just waiting for the scholar's answer.

The scholar smiled, "I read the description of the sea flowers of Zhuixing Island in a "Miscellaneous Notes", and found that it was completely different from what you told us, the village chief. I love reading and writing poems, so naturally I also yearn to see the sea flowers The beautiful scenery of flowers, so during this time, I went to the sea alone."

The scholar faced the crowd, "I saw the flowers in Shanghai, and even arrived at Zhuixing Island. I lived on the island for a while, and then I realized..." He pointed to the village chief, "So you are a liar!"
