The torrential rain finally came to an abrupt end, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a little blue, and at noon on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the mischievous Sun Father-in-law even loomed, as if to bring some hope to the dreary villagers.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, thousands of rays of glow suddenly reflected Luoshui Village, covering the whole village with a layer of brilliant golden light, and people's mood gradually improved with the improvement of the weather, and their enthusiasm was gradually ignited.

Families are getting busy again, young adults go into the mountains to harvest fresh bamboo, and the old people show their skills at home, and dance lamps need lampshades to shelter the huge candles from the wind and rain, and the lampshades are woven from bamboo pieces to ensure that the wind is blocked, but also to keep the light clear.

Using local materials is a common practice in rural areas, which is simple and grand.

In the evening, they had to welcome the Bodhisattva back, but this time not to welcome Guanyin, but to the Sanqing Patriarch, the god of Taoism. On the eighth day of the first month of the first month of the source village, he had already gone to the Taoist holy land to welcome the ancestor back, while Li Village had few people and had to wait for a day, but it would be good to save a lot of troubles and go directly to the source village to pick up the gods.

After the young adults cut back the bamboo, they led the children in the village to rush to the source village in groups, with red flags fluttering, gongs and drums noisy, and happily.

Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue also wanted to participate in this folk activity with great interest, and they didn't want to be rejected again, it turned out that women could not participate in receiving gods, which made Shen Mingyue unhappy. It seems that the phenomenon of male superiority and female inferiority is still serious, and the great excitement seems to belong only to big men.

Seeing this situation, Li Yiting, who originally wanted to join in the fun, instantly dispelled his thoughts, and he also began to realize this kind of imperceptible inequality, the women in the village have endured humiliation for many years and have long been uncaring, but Shen Mingyue, a person in the city, is different.

So he tried his best to comfort Shen Mingyue and told her that although she couldn't participate, she could burn incense and light cannons at home, Shen Mingyue burst into tears and laughed, her anger came and disappeared quickly, Li Yiting really couldn't help her.

Chen Tianyu has been happy, he can feel this strong Spring Festival atmosphere, which is set off by various folk activities, but he can also rationally discover the hidden patriarchal tendencies.

He should be happy when he should be happy, and he can be rational when he should be rational, this is the cynical Chen Tianyu.

Compared to Kuangsuo, who watched the thieves, Wan Yongkun and Qiuxi, who monitored Li Fuqi, they were already much happier, so be content and happy!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The sound of gongs and drums gradually became clear, and "Ding Dong Bang Cang, Ding Li Bang Cang" was endless.

The gods came back, but they did not pass in front of Li Qihuai's door, but passed by the path on the slope of the roof, Li Qihuai and his wife led everyone to the intersection early, estimated the sound and judged the moment when the statue passed, lit incense in advance, and prepared a long cannon battle.

Shen Mingyue is bold and has a lot to do, so she has to rush to be responsible for the firing of the cannon, Li Qihuai has no objection, Liu Zichen smiled and said nothing, this wild girl!

"Are you excited?" Chen Tianyu smiled at her and asked with his arms crossed.

"Not excited. Shen Mingyue snorted.

"Are your hands shaking?" Chen Tianyu asked again.

Liu Zichen gently poked his waist and whispered, "What are you doing teasing Mingyue?"

"I'm in a hurry. Chen Tianyu smiled.

There was a sudden crackling sound next to his feet, smoke rose, and everyone dodged one after another, not knowing what was going on, but Shen Mingyue crossed her waist and laughed beside her.

"Give me schadenfreude again, and I'll show you once with a shaking hand. Shen Mingyue was angry and had nowhere to sprinkle, seeing Chen Tianyu's sarcastic words, he simply moved the cannon battle to the feet of a few people, and deliberately circled around them, and then lit it in advance.

Li Yiting shook his head helplessly, but his tense nerves were much easier.

"Provoke this hairy monkey, fourth brother, you are really looking for excitement. He couldn't help but say a few words.

"It doesn't depend on whether you are either angry, or nervous, but you are in trouble. Chen Tianyu helplessly stretched his clothes and shook off the mud and smoke of the firecrackers.

"Are you still happy?" Shen Mingyue looked fierce and vicious.

“......”

A few people were talking and laughing, and the villagers who greeted the gods turned a mountain col and walked in front of them one after another, Li Qihuai hurriedly bowed a few times reverently, and there were words in his mouth, and then he inserted the incense in his hand into the huge incense burner.

The firecrackers didn't go off, they had all been trampled by Shen Mingyue just now, and the few old men who received the gods walked by with red crumbs with expressionless faces, and the sound of gongs and drums gradually faded away, and only the top of the sedan chair full of tassels could be seen.

Everyone returned home in twos and threes, and Li Yiting and Chen Tianyu walked side by side on the steep slope path.

"Hey, I heard Qiuxi say that the municipal government has sent a large number of workers to work day and night, and the highway should be dredged in the next two days. Chen Tianyu said with a smile.

"That's good, after the case is successfully transferred, we can also settle down easily. Li Yiting said lightly.

Chen Tianyu glanced at him: "I think why aren't you particularly happy, and you're still worried about Fuqi?"

"It's a little bit, I always feel unsure. Li Yiting told the truth.

Chen Tianyu said with a smile: "The Qing is self-purifying, instead of being trapped here, it is better to give him a chance to prove his innocence, what do you say?"

"I know. ...... But judging from my experience in the police department for so many years, I'm afraid it's a bit mysterious. Li Yiting was of course referring to the physical evidence.

Chen Tianyu nodded: "But now in addition to going through the regular process, it doesn't matter what we said, unless you can find any new evidence to prove that Fuqi is not suspected, or to prove that the murderer is someone else." ”

"yes, that's what I actually thought. Li Yiting sighed, "I'm afraid that I haven't done my best yet, and I accidentally missed some other supporting evidence." ”

Chen Tianyu glanced at him: "When did you become so unconfident?"

"It's a fraction of a thousand miles, and it's not like I've never experienced this kind of thing. Li Yiting disagreed, "Many cases have to be re-investigated in order to avoid unjust, false and wrongful cases." ”

"You call it care, but it's messy. Chen Tianyu said calmly, "There is continuous heavy rain in the mountains, I guess the trap is flooded, the Guanyin Temple has both of us re-surveyed, and we haven't found anything special, unless you mean the stone bridge, I haven't been there, if it doesn't work, you can run again." ”

"The situation on the other side of the stone bridge is also simple, I have repeatedly surveyed it several times, and the work that could have been completed in an hour or two, did you not see that I did not come back until dark. Li Yiting was still entangled.

"It's not over, it means that there is nothing we need on site. Chen Tianyu reminded.

Li Yiting didn't say anything, still bowed his head and pondered, and his steps seemed a little messy.

Seeing that he didn't understand the meaning, Chen Tianyu reminded again: "Don't forget that criminal investigation work is not only about the extraction of physical evidence, investigation and visits, sometimes proper reasoning is still very helpful." Instead of spending too much time on the wrong direction, it is better to do your research and find the right path. ”

Li Yiting was surprised and said, "Fourth brother, do you want to mention something to me?"

Chen Tianyu shook his head decisively: "No, I'm just telling you that you should relax when necessary, don't get in and can't get out, it's not necessarily a good thing." Besides, for Li Village, and even the entire Luoshui Village, several of us are outsiders, and no matter how strong our skills are, we can only learn a little about the skin, but you are different, born and raised. ”

"If you can get back to where you were before, and if you can find some flaws in your memories, it will really be of great help to this case. ”

Li Yiting touched his face in surprise: "Am I not in the state?"

"Dogs can't smell feces, what do you think?" said Chen Tianyu.

"Damn!" Li Yiting smiled bitterly, "That's too rough." He thought for a moment, "Maybe that's right." Okay, I'll give it a try, anyway, in the past two days, while there is still a chance, the dancing lantern is nothing new, so I will close the door and meditate. ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianyu shook his head: "If it was you before, you must have enough fun." ”

"Is there one?"

"Finding inspiration in sports is what we do best, have you forgotten?"

Li Yiting suddenly realized that his mood was finally completely relaxed, and only when he was an outsider could he truly understand the essence of a thing.

"Dead lame, it's really yours!" Li Yiting praised sincerely, "Otherwise, I would follow you without abandoning you, there are indeed two brushes." ”

"There are so many brushes, it depends on which one you want, remember to pay next time, Alipay WeChat is very convenient, and it will arrive instantly. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"I'm nervous again. Shen Mingyue, who was walking behind, couldn't help but mutter.

Liu Zichen covered his mouth and smiled: "They, it's the most terrifying when they're nervous, I haven't heard such a hearty laugh from Yiting for a long time." ”
