The five-year Qingzhou Temple Fair kicked off amidst the noise.

When Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, the sky was still dark.He reached for his mobile phone on the bedside table to check the time, and found that it was not yet six in the morning.Frowning, the breath of getting up came and went without a trace, he sat quietly for a while, and his sleepiness was reduced by half.

Chaos' brain was working again, and Zhou Yuan heard the voices outside, and realized that today is the temple fair.

On the day of the temple fair, almost every temple in Qingzhou city opened at midnight. Many pilgrims got up in the middle of the night and brought big incense sticks to pray for blessings in order to show their sincerity and the good luck of the temple fair held every five years.

The temple opened, probably because Uncle Deng came.After thinking about it, Zhou Yuan decided to get up and give Uncle Deng a hand.In fact, Zhou Yuan felt embarrassed to ask for help, he opened the temple, but Uncle Deng did the work, which was very troublesome for Uncle Deng.

Even though his movements were light, when Zhou Yuan stepped over Shen Rui, it still woke him up.

"What's the matter?" Shen Rui reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. Seeing Zhou Yuan sitting, he also got up, rubbed his hazy eyes, and looked outside the door. The voice came: "Why is it so noisy outside?"

When Shen Rui got up, he didn't need to step over him and get out of bed.Zhou Yuan got down from the bed and put on his coat: "Today is the temple fair. I asked for leave today to stay busy in the temple. You still need to go to the bureau, sleep a little longer, and I will wake you up at dawn."

"Temple fair?" After being stunned for a moment, Shen Rui came to his senses and got out of bed with Zhou Yuan, "What do you need to do? I'll help you."

In fact, there was no need for Zhou Yuan to be busy. Liufang Temple was a small temple, and unlike other large temples that needed to prepare a feast for fasting, Liufang Temple only needed to open the temple door wide for pilgrims to offer incense.

It was just that there were too many pilgrims, Zhou Yuan was worried that Uncle Deng would be overwhelmed.He said: "No, I'll just see if Uncle Deng needs help. At dawn, I have to go to the temple fair center to prepare for the noon float trip. Go to sleep. You've been very tired recently."

Shen Rui was indeed a little sleepy, so he yawned and nodded: "If you need me for something, come and wake me up."

Zhou Yuan nodded.

The temple fair is held every five years, and it is very grand. There are more pilgrims who come to offer incense than during the Spring Festival.

Uncle Deng, who was walking around to see if there were any pilgrims who needed help, saw Zhou Yuan coming out of the backyard, so he hurried over, "A Yuan, why did you wake up so early? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No, I won't be able to sleep after I wake up." Zhou Yuan watched the pilgrims coming and going, and pulled Uncle Deng to the tea room by the door to sit down, made a pot of hot tea for Uncle Deng, and filled it up: "Today There are quite a lot of pilgrims."

There were a lot of pilgrims, and one after another, pilgrims not far from nearby came to offer incense, and it became more and more lively.Deng Xiong took a sip of hot tea and grinned: "It's a rare day, how many five years are there in life, come here for peace of mind when you encounter it."

Speaking of which, Uncle Deng remembered something, looked outside, and scanned the pilgrims, "Ah Yuan, Captain Shen is not here?"

Uncle Deng knew that Shen Rui lived in this temple.

"I'll let him sleep for a while, and he will go back to the office to deal with business later." Zhou Yuan took a sip of warm tea, looked at his watch, felt that the time was almost up, and stood up: "It's past six o'clock, Deng Uncle, I have to prepare, and I will go to the temple fair center later. Everything in the temple will trouble you."

After leaving the tea room, Zhou Yuan first went to the study to take out the wooden box that was placed in the storage room.In the wooden box are the costumes used as the envoys of the temple fair when the ceremony of the Zhouyuan Temple Fair was held today.

After picking up his clothes, Zhou Yuan went back to his room. Seeing that there was still time left, he sat by the bed and looked at Shen Rui quietly.

I don't know if it was because living in the temple seemed at ease, but when Shen Rui was by his side, his vigilance was a little weak.Weak vigilance is a fatal thing for the police.Especially as a criminal police officer, vigilance should be as important as human life, and you need to be aware of it at all times.

After sitting for a while, seeing that time was really running out, Zhou Yuan stood up and prepared to go out.

But as soon as he stood up, his hands were clenched, and Shen Rui's voice was a little hoarse, "Have you seen enough?"

Zhou Yuan: "..."

In fact, when Zhou Yuan opened the door and came in, he had already woken up, but he just wanted to pretend to be asleep to see what he wanted to do.He thought that A Yuan probably came in to wake him up, but he closed his eyes and waited for a long time, but he didn't hear anything.

Quietly narrowing his eyes, Shen Rui realized that Zhou Yuan was staring at him in a daze.

Bouncing up from the bed, Shen Rui's sleepy face was a little haggard, but he showed the brightest smile. He bent his lips and laughed: "I thought you were going to kiss me, but you didn't respond after waiting for a long time, sorry."

Zhou Yuan: "..." I have seen shameless people before, but I have never seen such shameless people like him.But seeing that Shen Rui had already gotten up, he gave him a sideways glance, picked up the wooden box on the ground, and was about to go out: "Don't be rambunctious. I'm going out."

Shen Rui raised his eyebrows, and followed Zhou Yuan when he saw Zhou Yuan walking, but he was walking towards the full-length mirror by the door, almost turning his face in front of the mirror, looking up, down, left, and right, and clicked twice, on Zhou Yuan's back foot When I just stepped out of the door frame, I said, "I'm not that old, am I?"

His footsteps were stopped by something unknown for an instant, and the corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched, just a few drops of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Tender grass, still old and unruly."

Shen Rui froze in place, blinked, and slowly spit out a sentence from his mouth: "I'm only a few months older than you, and you think I'm old?"

The tone was full of grievances, making people want to hear it... couldn't help laughing wildly.

But Zhou Yuan still held back, he silently turned his back to him, and grinned softly.It's just the twitching of the shoulders that betrayed the fact that he was smiling, Shen Rui frowned and gritted his teeth and stared at his back: "... Have you laughed enough?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yuan pursed his lips and restrained his smile. He only felt that his mood for the day was brightened by Shen Rui's aggrieved "dislike old" farce. Before leaving, he still kindly reminded, "Captain Shen, sleep at night." Don’t have too many spring dreams, it’s easy to make people old.”

Shen Rui: "..."

Seeing Zhou Yuan walking farther and farther away, Shen Rui realized what he said, scratched his hair, and wondered if he really had a sexual dream at night?But the more he thought about it, the more wrong he was. The person he could dream of was right next to him, so why did he go all the way to the dreamland to make some unrealistic action movies?

However, when he was driving back to the bureau later on, he suddenly became nervous in the car and figured it out.

"...Damn, I can't eat it, so I think about it every day and dream about it at night."

On the opening day of the temple fair, it is one thing to be superstitious, but the temple association in Qingzhou City still follows the tradition. On the day of the temple fair float parade, it is necessary to hold a blessing ceremony in which the gods send blessings.

Zhou Yuan and Taoist Master Qingyun Temple from Mount Qingcheng were chosen as the envoys this year. The two of them stayed in the dressing room and had the make-up artist paint the envoy makeup. Then, Zhou Yuan talked to Taoist Master Chen Wang of Qingyun Temple who was sitting next to him. .

Chen Wang almost grew up in Qingyun Temple, not to mention knowing all the things in the temple, at least he is the kind of person who asks twice and knows everything.

Chen Wang was only a few years older than him, and Zhou Yuan had met him several times before, so he was an acquaintance. He looked at him sideways: "Senior brother."

Chen Wang turned his head and happened to meet Zhou Yuan's eyes.Zhou Yuan looks good-looking, that kind of good-looking is like the frost of severe winter, cold and attractive, he shook his head, "I haven't seen you for two years, you have changed a lot."

Zhou Yuan smiled lightly. At first he wanted to exchange some polite words, but after thinking about it, if he responded that Chen Wang had also changed and gained a lot of weight, probably this kind of sincere chat would become more and more trivial and more and more complicated. long.He...except for talking patiently with Shen Rui, he is not interested in other people's affairs.

Just straight to the point, "Brother, you grew up in Qingyunguan, there is one thing I want to ask, have you heard of Li Caihua?"

Chen Wang frowned and shook his head.

"Have you ever seen this kind of drum?" Zhou Yuan took out his phone, opened the photo, and held it in front of Chen Wang. "A cowhide drum the size of a thumb."

Looking at the photo at a glance, Chen Wang wanted to shake his head.But Zhou Yuan suddenly said again: "If you don't remember the cowhide drum, do you know that four or five years ago, a woman went up the mountain to give to Daoist Qian, and asked the Daoist to hand it over to a man?"

Hearing this, Chen Wang seemed to think of something, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.Staring at Zhou Yuan with squinted eyes for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "I've heard about it, but only my sect leader knows the specifics. But, I can tell you, that man should be dead."

Zhou Yuan was taken aback.

"died?"

Chen Wang originally planned to say something, but the door of the dressing room was pushed open, and a staff member came to inform them to gather backstage as soon as possible, and the blessing ceremony of the temple fair was about to begin.So Chen Wang hesitated to speak, wanted to speak but the words were too long and too short, so it was better not to speak in full.He sighed: "Zhou Yuan, if you have time to come to Qingyun Temple, the leader will be very happy to see you. When you have any questions, you can ask him directly. I know, and he knows everything."

Zhou Yuan nodded.

As soon as Shen Rui walked into the office, he opened the lunch box containing the steamed buns. Before the buns picked up by the chopsticks were stuffed into the entrance, the office door was pushed open, and Zhang Guoquan walked in hurriedly.

Shen Rui put the steamed buns back into the lunch box and looked up at Zhang Guoquan: "Ju Zhang, what's the matter?"

Every time Zhang Guoquan didn't call or let other colleagues spread the word, he rushed over directly, just planning to talk about some things other than work first, just like now, Zhang Guoquan rubbed his shoulders and rubbed his hands, his old face was full of smiles.

"A Rui, there is nothing busy in the bureau today."

Shen Rui's brows twitched, "Ju Zhang, I actually have a lot of things to do."

"...Temporary stop, I will take half a day off, I will deal with it myself." Zhang Guoquan sighed, at such an old age, he still wants to coax young people like this, he feels that sometimes he is disrespectful to the old, "Your father said There is a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon, if you are asked to go, you just let him go, so as not to keep quarreling in the future."

Shen Rui was silent.

He knew that Zhang Guoquan was not easy.Because he sometimes didn't answer Shen Guodong's calls, Shen Guodong would call Zhang Guoquan and ask him to act as an intermediary to pass on the message.Sometimes Shen Rui felt that it must be the worst thing in his life for Zhang Ju to know Shen Guodong.

"Okay." Shen Rui agreed.

Anyway, he was going to cut the ribbon, so he wanted to see what new tricks Shen Guodong wanted to come up with.

The cutting ceremony was set at ten o'clock, and Shen Rui drove to Shen Guodong's new real estate.

Because of the temple fair, almost the whole city of Qingzhou City was on alert, and the security and firefighting were fully prepared.

A hundred meters along the way, there is a traffic policeman directing the traffic and the volunteer site, which is very lively.The only bad thing is that the temple fair drives the flow of people, but it also increases the probability of traffic jams.

Just as the turtle was moving forward, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from nearby.Following the sound, I found that the square of the temple association was in front of me. The beating of gongs and drums was to prepare for the opening of the temple fair.

At this moment, Shen Rui suddenly saw a man walking out from the stage in the square, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was full of surprise...
