"Xiaoyanagi, do you think this place will also be related to the Feather Human Clan?" While using a bamboo skewer to pick the mud and sand next to a stone doll, I asked Liu Rumei, who was also picking the mud and sand with a bamboo skewer.

"I haven't seen the exact mark on this, so it's hard to say." Liu Ru replied while cleaning up.

"That's right." I stopped what I was doing, looked at the stone dolls around me, and couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what kind of altar this is, there are so many dolls around, it's the same as Easter Island." ”

"Poof." Liu Rumei was amused by my words, and said with a smile: "Then you should take a trip to Easter Island." ”

"Hey, hey......" I was amused by her words, smiled and lowered my head to continue working.

In the center of the altar, staff members are also working to clean up the sediment from it. This process went on for a long time, until someone brought a boxed lunch, and I didn't know it was noon.

While everyone was handing out the lunches, I walked to the altar to see the progress and contents of the excavation. When I saw the part of the altar that had been cleaned out, I suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. A familiar grayish-white color, with some strange notches on it, but its color is the same as that of stone, and it is impossible to tell what it is.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Rumei was holding a lunch box in one hand, probably seeing me in a daze, and asked me while looking in the direction I was looking.

"Oh, it's fine." I came back to my senses and replied casually.

"Uh......" Liu Rumei handed me a boxed lunch in her hand and said, "Don't be in a daze if it's okay, hurry up and eat." ”

"Oh...... Thank you. ”

"What's the matter, let's eat it quickly."

I took the lunch box from Liu Rumei's hand, and finally couldn't help but glance at the gray-white that appeared on the altar that made me a little concerned.

The afternoon clean-up was carried out quickly, and a complete gray-white oval stone had been revealed in the center of the altar. The oval-shaped stone is not flat, and it looks like a huge goose stone half-buried in the earth. If you don't take into account the strange notches on it, the surface of the off-white stone is fairly smooth.

"Qin Fen, this is a turtle shell, right?" Liu Rumei asked me in a low voice next to her.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I looked at the boulder in the middle of the altar, which was indeed very similar to the shape of a turtle shell. I nodded and said, "It looks like a turtle shell." ”

"Uh......" Liu Ru pursed his lips, frowned, looked at the notch on the boulder in the center of the altar, thought for a moment, and then said: "I think whether this is a turtle shell or a stone, I think the marks on it are artificially carved." ”

"Hmm." I nodded, these notches do not need to be raised, they are indeed artificially engraved, but as for what is depicted, it is another matter.

"Boulder...... Turtle Shell ...... Notch...... "I kept turning these words in my head, and I always felt familiar, until I saw someone in the archaeological team taking pictures with a camera, and it dawned on me."...... The black-and-white photos that the fat man showed me before were a huge thing that looked like turtle shells, and there was a ghostly black pattern on the photo.

"Pattern...... Nick ...... "I muttered on my lips, wondering if there would be some connection between the two, could it be that the nick on this one is also a text left by the ancient tribe?"

"What are you talking about?" Liu Rumei, who was next to me, probably listened to me and asked casually.

"Oh...... It's nothing. I replied, "I'm wondering if maybe these inscriptions are the writings of the ancient ancestors." ”

"Words? Is it? Liu Rumei asked, looking down to take a closer look at the nicks.

In the same way, I cast my eyes on it. If I look closely, I find that the lesson above is very similar to the pattern I saw in the photo, but the mark is too shallow, and I can't see it clearly if I am a little farther away, so I don't know what the specific pattern is.

"I can't tell what it is." Liu Ru frowned slightly, turned his head and asked, "Qin Fen, do you see anything?" ”

"Nope." I shook my head.

"What are you two looking at?" An archaeological team member came over and asked.

"Oh, those nicks above." I pointed to the shallow notches on the surface of the stone.

"What can you see from such a vague nick?" The archaeological team member thought for a moment and then said, "Uh...... Wait a minute. ”

Liu Rumei and I didn't know what he was going to do, so we watched him go away, and then we saw him rummaging for something near the pile of equipment on the side, and then I saw him take out a bag from his backpack and open it to look at it, and finally walked back with the bag.

I didn't know what he was going to do, and when he got closer, I pointed to the bag he was carrying and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Charcoal." He said the bag had been opened, some toner was grabbed and gently sprinkled on the surface of the boulder.

"Oh." It dawned on me that although the nicks were not obvious, they were different with these toners, and the black and white color difference made it easy to distinguish the originally blurry patterns.

"This ...... It doesn't matter, right? I pointed to the toner he was throwing with some concern. After all, this is an archaeological site, and it is too late to protect everything, so there is no reason to sprinkle it on it.

He was stunned for a moment, probably not reacting to what I said, and then smiled and said after he understood: "It's okay, these toners won't cause damage to this thing, and when you don't use it, you can clean it up with a brush gently." ”

I nodded, looking at the notch, which had been blackened with toner. As he sprinkled more and more toner, I could see more and more notch patterns. At the same time, my brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Because I found that the patterns on the stone were the same as those in the photographs, and I had even decomposed the words "mountain", "man", "bird", "water", and "fire" from these patterns, and there were some other places that had not been sprinkled with toner and could not be seen clearly.

"It's probably a coincidence." I couldn't help but think to myself, I don't know who took that picture, let alone where it was taken, maybe there was something somewhere that looked like this stone, and it happened to be engraved with the same text pattern.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Liu Rumei walked over and asked.

"Oh...... It's okay. ”

"I think you're weird." Liu Rumei said, raised the tape measure in his hand, and said, "Come and help me with the work if you have nothing to do." ”

"Oh." I didn't ask her what she was going to do, I just said yes and listened to her.

Liu Rumei asked me to pull a tape measure to measure it, and she herself took out the paper tape out of nowhere to mark the boulder. Her expression was serious, and she did things cleanly, and she quickly completed all the marks.

Seeing that she breathed a sigh of relief, I asked, "Xiaoyanagi, what are you doing here?" ”

"Huh this?" Liu Rumei pointed to the paper tape mark on the ground.

"Hmm." I nodded.

"Take pictures in separate frames." Liu Rumei smiled and took out her precious black and white camera from her backpack.

"Take pictures in separate frames?" I was stunned again, and subconsciously counted the number of marked areas on the ground.

"One, two, three...... Eighteen, nineteen, twenty. "The more I counted, the more surprised I became, and it couldn't be a coincidence. I looked at Liu Rumei, who was fiddling with the camera, and asked, "Xiaoliu, why do you want to shoot in twenty pieces?" ”

"Why?" Liu Rumei was puzzled and said, "How can there be a reason? How is it appropriate to take pictures in the frame, you see that the horizontal is divided into four, the vertical is divided into five, and the size of the area after the division is basically suitable for taking pictures, neither because it is too far away to see clearly, nor because it is too much to waste film. ”

"Oh." Actually, I didn't get the answer I wanted, and I thought that if Liu Rumei replied that it was taught by the teacher and that it was a fixed format, maybe I would be more acceptable.

Liu Rumei leaned over with the camera, aiming at them one by one, and did not start shooting immediately, about as she said to save photos.

"Alas, Miss Xiaoyanagi's skills are really good." An archaeological team member who was also holding a camera walked over, and he looked at the shooting area that Liu Rumei had already divided and said.

Liu Rumei smiled and said hello to him, and then did some exchanges together in the terms of taking pictures, and finally Liu Rumei said thank you.

I was listening to the clouds and mountains and fog covers, completely confused, so after the man left, I asked curiously, "Xiaoyanagi, what are you talking about?" I didn't understand a word about the deep scenery and warmth. ”

"Discussing the shooting angle, he will use the drone to shoot the panorama later, but unfortunately my camera is manual, so I asked him to leave me a negative." Liu Rumei said wistfully, with little stars in her eyes.

“……”

I'm speechless, such a rich second generation with a lot of money, who would have thought that she cared more about a small negative.

Seeing that I didn't speak anymore, Liu Rumei smiled and turned away, holding her precious camera, and began to look at the well-defined areas again.

"Click...... Click...... Click......" There was a click sound accompanied by the dazzling white light of the flash, and Liu Rumei finally started shooting.

The sound of the "buzzing ......" micro-drone caught my attention. The archaeologist in charge of filming was flying upwards with a drone, and I thought it was about to start shooting panoramas.

At this time, Liu Rumei had already finished filming, and when she saw the drone flying overhead, she seemed to suddenly remember something and ran to the side quickly. A moment later, I saw her walking to a corner of the boulder with two leather tape measures in her hands, leaning down behind her, fiddling with the ground.

When I got closer, she made a simple scale on the ground with two rolls of leather tape measures. Two rolls of leather tape measures were pulled out of a one-meter-long section, one horizontal and one vertical, placed at right angles to the corners of the boulder. Then, she waved at the member of the archaeological team who was flying the drone, signaling that they could take pictures.

I looked at the leather tape measure on the ground, then looked at the black pattern inlaid on the gray-white boulder, and then thought about the photos Wang Bo received before, and couldn't help but complain: "Is this still a coincidence? ”
