When the night of the desert falls, it is different from the beautiful scenery of any other place, when the vast sky gradually turns from blue to gray under the rendering of the sunset, and then slowly thickens from gray to black, the wind and sand that flutters with the wind from time to time during the day also seem to be tired of playing and slowly calms down, although there are also naughty sand still chasing the wind, but it is also mainly frolic, and there is not much energy.

I don't know when the white moon wheel has appeared on the side of the canopy, when the sky is still bright, it looks like a cloud transforms, and when the black gradually dyes through the sky, the silver glow comes out, and it gets brighter and brighter.

The team got along for a few days, and there was already a lot of tacit understanding, taking advantage of the nightfall, everyone divided labor and cooperated, most of the people set up tents to protect from the wind and cold at night, and assigned two people to pick up dead branches and pile them into a ball to prepare for a fire.

The difference in temperature at night in the desert is too large, and the desert is not a safe place, so having a fire can keep you warm and ward off many dangers.

Once the fire is lit, it's time to heat up the big guy's dinner.

Xia Feng sat quietly on the sidelines, watching all the work proceed in an orderly manner.

Before today, he would also set up a tent with the big guys, but today he obviously didn't have the mood to work together.

As he spent more days in the desert, his memories of two years ago became clearer.

Their team was traveling much faster than when he and Song Ci were looking for the monuments two years ago, and at this speed, they should have arrived at the place where he and Song Ci finally landed.

But what made him more and more frustrated and confused was that the environment around him had changed so much compared to two years ago. In the past few days, he has observed the surrounding environment all the way, and he remembers clearly which places he passed by with poplar trees, which ones have red skin and red jujubes, and where there are red willows, but the only difference is that there were no these two years ago.

Although the geomorphological environment of the mobile desert is already changeable, two years ago there were no sand jujubes and no red willow in the past, but it is a little too much to say that a poplar tree that grows a tree of considerable age in two years.

Relying on scientific data to judge, Xia Feng was sure that he was not going in the wrong direction, but judging from the natural scenery, he was very suspicious that he had taken a fork in the road.

Thinking that he might have gone in the wrong direction, Xia Feng couldn't help but feel a little anxious and upset. Ever since he set foot in the desert again, he has dreamed of Song Ci at the last moment of two years ago almost every night, and his repeated midnight dreams have made him desperate to find Song Ci's body.

But where is that monument, and where is Song porcelain?

Xia Feng's eyebrows tightened more and more.

Lian Yin paid attention to Xia Feng in another place for a moment, then walked towards him with slow steps and sat down beside him.

After sitting with Xia Feng for a while, she couldn't see Xia Feng speak, so she could only take the lead in opening this mouth and said with concern: "What's wrong with you?" Looks like there's something on the mind. ”

Xia Feng seemed to notice the existence of Lian Yin, his eyes revealed some surprise, and when he answered Lian Yin's question, he said succinctly: "No." "But no matter how you look at it, it looks like there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

In fact, he didn't say that Lianyin knew what he was doing, frowned, and today the local tour guide in Huozhou also asked Xia Feng in person, where he wanted to lead everyone. They had been gone for six days, and the supplies they brought with them when they set out, plus the supplies captured on the first night, would only last another ten days at most.

Now the other party saw that Xia Feng was always silently rushing to the depths of the desert, and he didn't have a reasonable explanation, so he had to remind him that it was time to consider returning, otherwise it would be difficult for them to hold on to their supplies until they got out of the desert, especially since they hadn't passed through an oasis water source in the past two days.

Lian Yin is very good at talking: "It's okay if you don't want to say it. But I still want to comfort you, don't worry too much. There is always a time when the willows and flowers are bright and another village. After speaking, she smiled at Xia Feng soothingly.

Xia Feng couldn't help but wonder if she already knew her predicament.

Just as he was thinking about what to say back, Xia Feng's name was suddenly shouted in a high and low voice in the direction of the tent.

The two of them looked in the direction of the tent together, Wei Chu just poked his head out of the tent and shouted at Xia Feng: "Xia Feng! Come here, come here! At the same time, he beckoned at him several times to hurry over.

Xia Feng didn't know what to ask him about, but Wei Chu didn't answer, just waved at him vigorously, and the more he beckoned, the more eager he became. Xia Feng was helpless, turned around and gestured to Lianyin, saying that he would go over and take a look.

Lian Yin got up without saying a word, and followed him in the direction of the tent.

As the two entered the tent, the others were gathered in a group at the center of the tent, each with their own words.

The legato is in the right ear and the left ear, but they still hear the point, they dig up the sand and dig out something.

Seeing Xia Feng coming, the people who were originally gathered in one place immediately dispersed a position, and Wei Chu, who had just called him over, said hurriedly: "Xia Feng, we dug a pit to prepare to burn the kang, but I didn't expect to dig something." Come and see, just Zhou Zheng said that this is the tip of the pagoda? You study archaeology, you come and see, right? ”

Zhou Zheng, who was nominated by Wei Chu, stood beside Wei Chu, and after being named, he said: "I think it is, but I'm not sure, Xia Feng or you come to take a look." ”

Xia Feng didn't say anything, and immediately stepped forward to take a look.

There was a large pit in the middle of the circle, the pit was about one meter deep, and there was indeed a small spire in the deepest place. The color is different from the yellow of the sand, and the spire is white.

Looking at the material of the spire, you can see that it is not sand, but more like the material of rammed earth.

Xia Feng squatted down as soon as he passed, and then lay down again, carefully looked at the spire, and slowly changed his complexion.

The whole team knew that he was from an archaeological background, and he had also been to this desert two years ago to look for monuments, so they had a tacit understanding that they would not say much at all, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

"This should be the spire of the stupa." Lianyin's voice broke the silence in the tent and spoke directly to Xia Feng.

Xia Feng's voice followed: "How do you know." His gaze was still on the spire, and he moved his hand along the outline of the pointed point where the sand had emerged, revealing a small section of the spire.

"This is the ancient Silk Road, and all the countries in the Western Regions on the ancient Silk Road believe in Buddha." Lianyin's words were unanimously nodded by Xia Feng and Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng followed and said: "Look carefully, there is a lotus pattern on it, it is a pagoda, it can't be wrong." ”

Lian Yin asked: "Xia Feng, does this spire belong to the same batch as the one you found two years ago?" ”

Xia Feng looked up at her, and only one sentence she had just said outside floated in her mind: Another village.

He didn't answer Lien's question, but reached out to the others for a shovel: "Give me a shovel, and someone will dig with me." ”
