I didn't become a human today

The biggest feature of Lingnan is the beautiful mountains and waters.

The springs and streams in those mountains flowed all the way down, always converging in the same direction, and finally formed the largest river running through Lingnan: Luochuan.

They went down by boat, and along the way, Ji Ran excitedly explained in the fish tank, "Lingnan people live by the water, so the banks of Luochuan River are very prosperous and rich. Our old Ji's house was built on the edge of Luochuan River , Open the window, and you can see the Luochuan water below. The water in Luochuan is warm in winter and cool in summer, very clear. Many fishermen fish during the day and live on the boat at night. When they are hungry, they drive the boat to the water’s edge , shout at the restaurant next to it, and the restaurant will deliver good wine and food in bamboo baskets..."

"When I was young, my father never let me go into the water. He was afraid that I would drown in the falling river. Every time we carried my father behind our backs, we secretly jumped into the water from the window. After going back and forth, we learned how to swim."

"We just need to take a boat and walk down the Luochuan all the way. The biggest, grandest and most magnificent house you can see on the shore is my old Ji's house! I don't know how my father's business has been doing these years. What's the matter...how about you pour me out, just pour me into the water, why does this boat move so slowly, it's not as fast as I can swim by myself!"

Foya covered his ears for a while, and looked at Liang Xingye who was sitting on the bow with some exhaustion, "Brother Xingye, you've been listening to him nagging, aren't you tired?"

Hoshino hugged the fish tank, looked ahead, smiled and shook his head, "I'd like to listen to him."

Foya got goosebumps all over his body, looked back, and sighed, "It's a good thing I found a boatman who is deaf, otherwise I would be scared to death by this talking silver carp."

He bent his fingers and tapped twice on the fish tank, "If you land on the shore, you have to calm down, lest you be stewed as a silver carp essence."

Ji Ran spit out a string of bubbles, "I know, I know. Hey, Brother Hoshino, what do you think of my proposal just now? Let me out and swim in Luochuan for a while?"

"Don't even think about it."

"But Brother Hoshino, this fish tank is too small, barely enough for me to turn around in it, and I can't move my muscles if I stay here all the time." Ji Ran was still pretending to be pitiful.

Foya on the side snorted twice, "You're a fish, a few fishbone would be fine, why are you talking nonsense..."

Ji was so angry that he spit out a series of bubbles in the water.

The boat moved slowly in the Luochuan, swaying from time to time.

Ji Ran was silent in the fish tank for a while, thinking, if you don't let me out, why don't I jump out?He bent his body into an arc, and while they were not paying attention, he exerted force suddenly and ejected himself out of the fish tank.

"Slap." It landed on the deck, and before it could see everything around it, it was picked up by a hand.

Ji Ran wants to cry but has no tears.

Foya glanced at brother Xingye's face, and tentatively made a suggestion, "Why don't you find a cover to cover the fish tank, this fish is really not a fuel-efficient fish."

"I'm a silver carp and I'm proud. What's wrong with our silver carp longing for freedom? What does it have to do with saving fuel? Foya, have I eaten your rice?"

The voice was clear at first, until Liang Xingye covered the mouth of the fish tank with a stack of books.

Foya walked into the canopy from the stern, "After gesticulating for a long time, the boatman probably meant that we have to spend the night on the water tonight, and we won't arrive until tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he knocked on the noisy fish tank again, "Stop jumping, it's useless, there is a stone on it, Brother Hoshino and I are doing it for your own good, you are not the same as before, you are being caught Yes, it is the fate of braised and stewed soup."

At night, Foya and Liang Xingye rested in the boat tent.

Everything was fine in the first half of the night, and Ji Ran in the fish tank also subsided.

In the middle of the night, Luochuan, which has always been calm, suddenly became violently stormy. In the storm, the boat swayed non-stop, and was almost overturned by the huge waves. Foya and Liang Xingye woke up from their dreams. Steady, the fish tank containing Ji Ran rolled off the boat.

The ship was pushed forward by the wind and waves, and it was impossible to turn back and look for it.

Without even thinking about it, Liang Xingye jumped into the water.Foya was drenched all over, and shouted in the heavy rain, "Brother Hoshino, it's dangerous!"

But where is his figure now?

Foya anxiously directed the boatman to turn the boat back, after tossing for a long time, he finally fished Liang Xingye out of the water.

Coughing and re-boarding the boat, he lay on the bow of the boat and vomited water non-stop. All he fished out was an empty fish tank.

Foya's complexion also sank, and he hurried to the stern of the boat to make various gestures with the deaf boatman.

"Our silver carp fell into the water, is it safe? Are there any big fish that eat silver carp in Luochuan? Silver carp? Such a big silver carp..."

The boatman couldn't understand what Foya was gesticulating at all, and mistakenly thought that Foya was asking him where he could buy silver carp, so he said loudly: "In the fish market, when the sky is bright, you can buy big silver carp, stew it Soup and stewed food are delicious..." Hands made a gesture of picking rice into his mouth, "It's delicious... If you go late, there will be no more..."

Foya squatted on the bow of the boat with his head in his arms, and now the wind and waves had calmed down, "What can we do, brother Hoshino, you said that if he was caught by fishermen, he would be killed on the spot..." Foya didn't dare to go back thought about it.

It would be fine if it was in the water, but if it fell into the hands of fishermen or street vendors, it would be a narrow escape.

……

……

Ji Ran fell asleep at first, with his eyes open.

When the wind and waves came, he was awakened by the undercurrent in the water, and saw that he was not in the fish tank in a daze.

Look around again, where is it?Luochuan?

what happened?Where's Hoshino?And what about the tooth of the Buddha?Ji Ran swam in the water for a while, but found that the two of them could not be found at all.

While struggling, a fishing net was suddenly pulled up from the bottom of Luochuan River.

Oops!

Ji Ran desperately went upstream, and the frightened fish at the bottom of the fishing net also went up one after another, knocking Ji Ran aside.

"Run, run, run!"

The scales under Ji Ran's stomach hurt from being hit, and he yelled at the fish in the water, "Watch carefully when you swim? I don't know if you bump into other fish..."

Huh?Was it the other fish talking just now?

Fish can talk!

He has lived so many years in vain!

Ji Ran was still depressed, and now those fishes that were fleeing in all directions squeezed towards Ji Ran in an instant, and the nets were collected!

More fish screamed, "The net is over, the net is over!"

There were so many fish in this net, when everyone came out of the water, they all crowded together with their mouths open, and Ji Ran's tail was squeezed crookedly.

The fishermen happily dumped the net on the boat, and Ji Ran only heard a boy's voice happily say, "Grandpa, there are a lot of big fish in this net."

Let's just say it, and he will lift Ji Ran up violently, holding Ji Ran in his arms like a show off, "There is also a big silver carp! It will definitely sell for a good price!"

Ji Ran was held up by that little kid, and his mouth opened and opened, but he didn't dare to speak, because the kid's grandfather was killing fish at the bow at the moment, holding a shiny knife in his hand, scraping fish scales.

It was a crucian carp, Ji Ran could see it clearly, its mouth was open and panting like he is now, when scraping the fish scales, it jumped on the chopping board in pain, the old fisherman couldn't catch it, so he chopped off the head of the fish .

Ji Ran was afraid that if he spoke, the fish head would be chopped off.

He tried to disguise himself as an ordinary fish, and he was relieved until the child put him in the water basin.

In the same washbasin as Ji Ran, there are some other fish, all of them are panic-stricken, maybe they are of the same kind, but they are all fish, and Ji Ran can hear what they are thinking.

"I heard that in the restaurants along Luochuan River, fish with chopped peppers sells better than braised fish and steamed fish...I don't want to die..."

"I haven't lived enough, it will kill me when I scrape the fish scales..."

"Hey..." Ji Ran heard the cries of a group of yellow croakers.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing!" At the critical moment, Ji Ran finally stood up and upheld justice for Yu.
