It's a real relic, dilapidated and old.

Song Rui and Tao Ran did not have much research on archaeology, and in such a drastically changing environment as the desert, some common sense of archaeology was not very applicable, so they could not understand how much this relic was from that era and how many years it had existed in the desert in the form of ruins.

This seems to be a village, the village is not big or small, and it looks like a thousand households. The house and the walls are all stone, and Tao Ran explored the place in detail with great interest.

Although Song Rui didn't know what was interesting about this kind of exploration, it was still up to her.

Tao Ran is not a willful girl, she knows what she should do and what she shouldn't do, although she occasionally acts intuitively, but this is also the most intuitive embodiment of her food luck. Therefore, when Song Rui can provide her with freedom and convenience, he will never interfere with his partner's actions.

After a long day of exploring, Tao Ran seemed to have made some discoveries, and she called Song Rui under the half-wall.

"This is a map, I drew it according to the topography of the village." Tao Ran spread out his notebook on the sand in front of him, and drew a simple and rough map on it.

The map is rather crude, the number of houses is inaccurate, and the shapes are very irregular, like some meaningless geometric shapes, but there are still some things to be seen on this map.

The village as a whole is circular, with a winding stone wall forming a protective fence, and the houses are arranged irregularly, just like an ordinary southern village, scattered and random.

Looking at the stone walls and speculating on the general shape of each house, Song Rui can imagine the relaxed and optimistic attitude of the villagers in building houses, as if the place where they live is not a desert with a harsh environment, but a leisurely and beautiful Jiangnan town.

People choose a site according to their preferences, arrange a good neighbor for themselves, discuss the echoing beauty of the building with their neighbors or family members, conceive every detail, love life with all their hearts, and be grateful for the land given to them by the impermanent desert.

"This place looks a little suspicious." Song Rui looked at the simple map drawn by Tao Ran, and it was obvious that there was one place that was not used elsewhere.

"This place is really strange, first of all, the stone is made of different materials, and if it is a house, it looks a little too big." Tao Ran nodded his lips with the tip of his pen and said, "I guess this place is likely to be a place where the village holds collective activities. ”

"Did you find anything there?"

"I need your help." Tao Ran shook his head, "The stone wall there is mostly buried in sand, and some of it needs to be dug out." ”

"I'm glad you've narrowed it down to this point, rather than digging up the entire village." Song Rui said bitterly, and as he spoke, he stood up and beckoned the big man to help.

So there was such a strange scene in the desert, the wild crab that had been red all the time grinded and carefully began to clean up the yellow sand in the center of the ruins, which looked like a diligent old cow, where was there a little bit of domineering as a high-level biological chain.

Crazy Crab is also very broken! In the past, whether it was marching or hunting, it was always on a rampage, crushing it by speed and brute force. At this time, it is impossible to let it clean up the sand pile, and it cannot destroy the big stones, which is like asking people to embroider with a mallet, and it cannot pierce the cloth, how can it be described as uncomfortable! But it glanced at Song Rui, and didn't dare to resist, this desire to survive can be said to be very strong.

But most of the creatures in the world are like this, and when they gradually gain wisdom, then they are accompanied by fear, the fear of the unknown, the fear of power, which will also accompany most creatures throughout their lives and govern their actions. This is true for animals, and it is also true for people.

Song Rui and Wild Crab dug into the sand, and Tao Ran carefully identified and cleaned up the excavated stone walls.

And Yuji, after she entered here, she was a little distracted, as if she was thinking about something, and as if she was missing something. Song Rui and Tao Ran didn't bother her, and the two keenly felt that Yuji should have something to do with this. But looking at the ruins in front of them, they felt that it would be a cruel thing to ask her.

"Song Rui, come here!" Song Rui was digging into the sand like a dog digging a hole, and when he heard the words, he didn't stop, and hit his head against a stone wall, with a rumbling sound.

Kindness...... The head is fine, the wall is broken!

Song Rui glanced at Tao Ran with some weakness, and saw that she didn't pay attention to this side, so he put his mind down and leaned over to look at what Tao Ran was referring to.

Tao Ran is squatting in front of a stone wall, cleaning up the floating sand on it, there are some lines on the stone wall, although it has been weathered and corroded a little, but the stone material here is relatively good, it has not been completely destroyed, and some outlines can be seen.

Xiaobai and the big man also came over and craned their necks to look at the reliefs on the stone wall.

"What is this?" Song Rui tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand what kind of relief it was, "What kind of plant does it look like?" ”

"Well...... I don't see it yet. Tao Ran handed Song Rui a small brush, "Help me sweep away the sand over there, be careful not to damage the stone wall." ”

As the two cleaned up little by little, the reliefs on the stone wall were also revealed.

It looks like it is indeed a plant, with thick vines, broad leaves, and huge flowers, and the whole plant is printed on the stone wall, although it is somewhat weathered and damaged, but the carving is meticulous, and some details are delicate and lifelike.

"How do I look familiar?" Song Rui pinched his chin and sat on the sand looking at the stone wall in front of him.

"It's a twin."

"It's a mirage!"

"Huh?!" Two voices sounded at the same time, Song Rui turned around and found Yuji standing behind them, "Yuji, you say this is a twin flower?" ”

"That's right! What, this is the mirage you're looking for? Yuji was puzzled, she knew that the two of them had come to the desert to look for a mirage, but she didn't expect to be looking for twin flowers.

"Yes." Tao Ran took out the information that the fourth brother gave her, "This is a mirage record, which is very similar to the one on this stone wall." ”

Yu Ji carefully looked at the mirage's images and materials, and nodded, "It's the same plant." ”

“…… But why do you call this plant a twin flower? Song Rui resisted the desire to complain, and held back a sentence, "It only has one flower, doesn't it?" ”

Yu Ji's expression was a little complicated, her fingers brushed on the stone wall, groped along the texture of the plant little by little, and looked around at the broken wall in the yellow sand, the painful expression flashing in her eyes was extremely obvious, Song Rui confirmed that she was not mistaken.
