"It's early to come back, come on, let's make dumplings together." Father Ann rarely tied a big apron, rolled the dough on the table and said, "Whatever stuffing you want to eat, you can wrap it yourself." ”

"I've been driving for more than an hour, and I don't want to move!" Gong Chen sat on the sofa and said, "You can just wrap some for me, don't have too many of them, just a hundred." ”

"Are you a pig?" Xie Baozhen put a large pot of minced meat on the edge of the table, and said to Father An: "It's all pork stuffing here, and Ah Zhe of mutton and beef is still making it." ”

"If you can't finish eating dumplings, you can take some back, and I didn't say I could eat hundreds of them in one meal." Gong Chen said with a grin: "You are always so calculating, be careful that you can't get married." ”

"It's just you who have a lot to do," Xie Baozhen turned her face to Yu Siqi, and said softly: "Go wash your hands and make dumplings together, do you know how to make them?" ”

"I've been with my grandmother in the countryside a few times before, and to be honest, I'm not particularly good at it." Yu Siqi put down the candlestick in his hand and said, "But I like to eat dumplings, especially beef filling." ”

"Forget it, you can just sit and watch TV for a while with that 'shit' who only screams hunger." Xie Baozhen hesitated for a moment, but decided to give up and let Yu Siqi join.

"Okay," Yu Siqi said, while Gong Chen muttered beside him, "It's too rude, it's not warm to the guests at all, it's not kind." ”

"I've been waiting for you to tell me what that candlestick is, but it seems that my wait is unnecessary." Father Ann expertly grabbed a piece of dough, scooped up a spoonful of ground pork and stuffed it in, and under the priest's slender fingers, a plump and beautiful dumpling was formed.

"Well done, Father." Xie Baozhen said approvingly.

"I'm sorry, I almost forgot." Yu Siqi picked up the candlestick and said, "This is an old man named Li Yichi mailed to Ah Wen's office, no, it's my office; No, it was mailed to Arvin. ”

"Oh?" Father Ann seemed interested, and motioned for Yu Siqi to continue.

After rummaging around his body a little, Yu Siqi found the letter written by Li Yichi to Ah Wen in the back pocket of his pants, cleared his throat, and began to read it. Halfway through his reading, Gong Chen yawned and accidentally drowned out his voice, which made the audience on the side very dissatisfied, especially Shi Yizhe, who had already come out of the kitchen, glared at Gong Chen impatiently, causing the latter to shrug his shoulders and close his eyes to recuperate.

When Yu Siqi read that the candlestick had the possibility of evoking spirits, Father An jerked around the dining table and grabbed the candlestick from Yu Siqi's side, and looked at it with great interest for a long time before passing it on to others to see.

When everyone was looking and touching, Yu Siqi finished reading all the letters, and there was a brief silence around, but fortunately, at this time, Gong Chen clapped his hands wittily and said, "Hey, after listening to the story, hurry up and make dumplings, I'm a little hungry." ”

"What are you impatient, you want to eat your own bag." Xie Baozhen reluctantly walked back to the table, picked up the dough rolled out by the priest and said, "Ah Zhe, come and help together, otherwise no one will want to eat on time." ”

"It's a very interesting thing," said Father Ann, who found a stool and sat down directly across from him, "what a great gift you have received." ”

"What's the big deal?" Gong Chen took out an oil lamp from his magical pocket that didn't look like it could be stuffed into a pocket at all and asked, "Could this thing be more powerful than my baby?" ”

"I can't tell," said Father Ann with a smile, "wait for me, I'll show you something good." ”

After saying this, Father An rushed upstairs and into his bedroom, and before everyone could understand what he wanted to do, he took the book that Yu Siqi had not yet read and went downstairs, spread it on the coffee table, and said, "I remember whether it was on page 87 or 78, hey... No matter what... Let's look through it first. Found it..."

Yu Siqi put his head in and looked at it, and soon he knew why Father An was so serious about this thing.

The hand-drawn illustration depicts these two objects, and judging from the small print on the side, it seems to be one of the essential tools used by the Rameshiani royal family to worship their ancestors, and it is also one of the royal treasures that was stolen before the fall of the Rameshiani dynasty.

"Gong Chen, this kid has a soul-attracting lamp of the Lameniani people, and the last time we went to the temple to offer incense, I think the big guys should have a little impression." Father An smiled and said, "And the candlestick that Yu Siqi brought today is its twin brother, and they are all items made by the first emperor of Ramesiani. It's really funny, and there is an intriguing allusion to them! ”

"What? The first emperor, that's easy to say, feelings are still a baby. Gong Chen's eyes lit up and said: "Hey, I already knew that this thing must be worth a lot of money, otherwise why would he never play cards with me since I won this thing in a bet with Lu Youdao's turtle grandson." ”

"With all due respect, it doesn't seem to be as precious as you think, after all, what do you say... In terms of appearance, it seems to be just an ordinary prop. Yu Siqi smiled slightly and said: "And it is said in this book, because the heirs of the royal family of Ramichiani in the past generations do not like their predecessors very much, so when they worship their ancestors, they always use the chief priest and priests to complete these cumbersome and annoying rituals, and the emperor usually does not participate in this kind of activity, so there is an allusion that the items have been lost for hundreds of years and have not been recovered." ”

"Lost, indifferent," Gong Chen repeated a few words, such words did not sound like a good phenomenon at all, his smug expression began to dim on his face, and he was a little frustrated, he casually put the oil lamp on the ground, and there were bursts of grief for a while.

"But don't be too sad, although it is not as precious as you imagined, its own value is still worth looking forward to." Father An patted Gong Chen's shoulder comfortingly and said, "Didn't you also rely on this lantern last time to drive away those vines that can spread fear and darkness?" ”

"Or do you speak, I love to hear that." Gong Chen turned his face and smiled and said, "Then what about this candlestick, it won't really bring the dead back to life, right?" ”

"No matter how many times you ask me, I can only answer your desire with one answer - that is, there is no way to bring a dead man back to the kingdom of the living, and I hope you will not mention this kind of thing against the rules set by God in the future." Father Ann said with a serious expression.

"Having said that, you and I both know that in the land of Xinsong, there have been no less than dozens of resurrections of the dead." Gong Chen patted his thigh and said, "There's no point in lying to yourself. ”

"Speaking of which, I also want to ask you about the special information you asked for last time, when are you going to get me a copy?" Fr. Ann closed the book and said, "Perhaps, after reading the specific information, I can give you a more complete and reasonable answer?" ”

"Can't do it," Gong Chen lowered his head, lowered his voice and said, "You may not know, the archives room caught fire not long ago, and there is no way to restore it until now, and it has not been rebuilt. The unlucky ones who lost their jobs are currently working as temporary workers at the city museum! ”

"Ordinary flames can't burn your files, I remember it very well." Fr. Ann said, "And a powerful flame cannot easily invade from the outside, so ... There are ghosts..."

"You can count it yourself, I didn't say anything," Gong Chen said something that sounded a little weird, and then closed his mouth.

"This Gongchen is just a love to sell Guanzi, which is very bad." Father An turned his face to look at Yu Siqi and said, "You have time to read this book, there are many introductions and descriptions of Lameshiani's crafts, I think since your work is so leisurely and relaxed, you shouldn't mind if I assign you a little more homework, right?" ”

"I... Very... I don't mind..."Yu Siqi, who originally wanted to say what was in his heart, endured the pain and said something against his heart after Father An accidentally stepped on his toes, which made Gong Chen very surprised.

"Very good, I see that Ah Zhe and their side are almost wrapped, are you ready to eat dumplings?" Father Ann stood up and said, "I prefer ravioli to dumplings. ”

"Won't it be enough?" Gong Chen asked with suspicion as he glanced at the wrapped dumplings on the table.

"If you want to end up with Li Yichi, then I will definitely be more than happy to help." Father Ann made a dumpling-making motion, smiled wittily, and walked to the table.
