Chapter 245: The Sound of Water Dripping
After entering the cave, Yuan Muye understood why Liang Jing said that this cave was very deep, it was a long and narrow road, and although the entrance of the cave was not very spacious, the more he walked inside, the more open it became.
"Ye Qiwei? Ye Qiwei?! Yuan Muye tentatively called twice, but although there was a loud echo in the cave, no one answered him.
The more Yuan Muye walked in, the more bottomless his heart became, and at that time, the picture of finding Ye Qiwei's body had already begun to emerge in his mind...... As he continued to go deeper, the smell in the cave began to become more and more unpleasant, and Yuan Muye knew that it was the smell of decomposing corpses.
Just as he was thinking nonsense, several sacks full of stains appeared in front of him, this kind of sack was seen by Yuan Muye in the courtyard of Wu Laoliu's house before, and it was specially used to hold some scrap copper and rotten iron.
After seeing those sacks, Yuan Muye's heart breathed a sigh of relief, because looking at the size of these sacks, they should not be adults inside, and judging from the smell, they have been dead for a while.
Yuan Muye picked up a dead branch on the ground at this time, and then used it to poke the sacks respectively, and after making sure that there were definitely no living people in them, he bypassed the sacks and continued to walk......
I don't know how deep this hole is, it stands to reason that Wu Lao Liu should only go here every time he throws his body, these sacks can already prove this, but there is nothing else around here except these sacks!?
"Ye Qiwei! Are you here? If you hear it, give me a voice! Yuan Muye shouted deeper into the cave.
But every time he finished shouting, the only thing that responded to him was his own response...... Yuan Muye had the intention to look deeper, but there were three or four forks in front of him at the same time, and he didn't know which way to go for a while.
This cave is an underground karst cave formed by a typical karst landform, and the situation in the cave is complicated, and inexperienced people are likely to get lost in it! Therefore, Wu Lao Liu would definitely not carry Ye Qiwei to go deeper, at most, he would throw people next to the previous few child corpses.
Now that Ye Qiwei is not here, this means that he has either left the cave or gone deeper into the cave...... But Wu Lao Liu's ability to throw Ye Qiwei here means that he no longer has any ability to resist at that time, and he doesn't have to worry about him running out by himself, so the possibility of Ye Qiwei getting out of the cave is very small.
Thinking of this, Yuan Muye took a flashlight around, wanting to see if Ye Qiwei could be thrown into that corner by Wu Laoliu, but he searched around and still found nothing.
Yuan Muye was a little desperate at this time, he began to doubt his previous judgment, maybe Ye Qiwei had already been killed by Wu Lao Liu at that time! But if you live to see people and die to see corpses, even if Wu Lao Liu kills people and kills people, he won't even be able to find the corpse, right?!
The further you go into this cave, the thinner the air becomes, and the stench of the rotting corpses...... For a while, Yuan Muye felt a little hypoxic. It stands to reason that he should withdraw first now, wait for Forging Feng and Xu Li at the entrance of the cave, and then come in together to dispose of the corpse.
But Yuan Muye didn't want to give up so soon, he felt that as long as he hadn't seen Ye Qiwei's body, he couldn't prove that he was dead.
Yuan Muye tried to slow down his breathing, so that he could inhale less of the harmful gases in the hole, but after he calmed down, he heard a sound of "tick, tick" from the deeper part of the hole......
"It's the sound of water droplets......" Yuan Muye said thoughtfully.
The sound was very faint, it seemed to be nothing, Yuan Muye's panting sound was a little louder to cover it, if he hadn't slowed down his breathing, it was estimated that it would be difficult to hear clearly. After hearing the sound of water droplets, an idea swirled rapidly in Yuan Muye's head......
What if Ye Qiwei was only injured, but he didn't have the ability to go out on his own? He must have had to wait for rescue. But the environment here is extremely harsh, and if you want to live here for a few days, you must meet at least one condition, that is, there must be a clean water source.
Thinking of this, Yuan Muye immediately shone a flashlight on the ground, and found that near the sacks, there seemed to be a not very clear crawling trail leading to a hole in front of him......
Based on Ye Qiwei's experience, he must have thought of finding a water source first, because people can hold on for many days without food, but they can't last long without water.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Yuan Muye's heart, Ye Qiwei has rich experience in wild survival, plus he is also a forensic doctor, even if he is in a desperate situation, he should be able to persevere until the end.
The hole where the sound of water dripping came from was a little narrow, and Yuan Muye could only half-cat's waist to get in, and when he entered, he found that there were not only some crawling traces on the ground, but even a trace of coagulated blood on a piece of moss.
This further proved that Ye Qiwei was in front, so Yuan Muye hurriedly quickened his pace. But this narrow road became narrower and narrower, and in the end, Yuan Muye could only move forward half-lying on his stomach......
Suddenly, the light of the flashlight swept to the front as if there was a pair of human feet, and Yuan Muye saw it and felt a "chuckle" in his heart, because the black hiking shoes on the feet were somewhat familiar, and he seemed to have seen them at Ye Qiwei's home.
Yuan Muye slowly crawled to the front at this time, and called softly, "Ye Qiwei? ”
But the other party didn't react at all after hearing it.
The man was lying face down, his hands still tied behind his back, and his posture looked a little uncomfortable...... But because the space here is too narrow, Yuan Muye has no way to lean in to confirm his identity except for being able to see a pair of feet of the other party.
Then Yuan Muye reached out and touched the other party's ankle, although it was a little cold, but it was not the touch of a dead man. So he hurriedly dragged his feet outward, but because the space around him was too small, he could only move out a little bit on his knees......
Fortunately, the more you pull out, the more space there is, Yuan Muye used all his strength to finally get people to a slightly more spacious place, which can barely accommodate two people.
Yuan Muye hurriedly climbed to the side of the man at this time, and then flipped his body over, after all, it was not a matter to always lie face down like this...... But when he turned the person over and took a look, who could this be Ye Qiwei!?
It's just that Ye Qiwei's condition at this time is very bad, the hair on his left forehead is full of congealed blood, it looks like the injury is not light, and his lips are all dry and cracked blood. It seems that although he has climbed to the droplet, he has not drunk the water......
