Chapter 107: Voices in the Cracks

I don't know how long I was unconscious, but suddenly, a strong light shone in through that small hole - "Bang bang! "—a few bottles of mineral water and a few packets of dry food were thrown in, and the sound was loud and woke me up.

Subconsciously, I knew it was water and food. I tried to crawl over, but my body was no longer able to move, my bony body was already numb, and my body, which had lost its moisture, was dying...... Because I was unwilling, I held on to this moment. I can't give up, I have to live!!

I struggled desperately, and little by little my body moved towards the water.

It seemed like centuries had passed before I finally found a bottle of mineral water. However, I no longer had the strength to open the cap.

Angry, I leaned against the wall and tried many times, but I couldn't open the cap. In the end, I gave up completely.

Fate may be like this, many times, let you see hope, but not let you get what you want.

……

"Hiss......"

A faint voice rang in my ears.

As if the bell of hope was ringing again, I opened my eyes...... That's the sound of the people next door scraping the wall desperately! And it's a little louder than before, it's clear that he's been working hard and hasn't given up any chance!!

It was as if I had found courage all at once, and it was an incomparably greater courage than I could have imagined! I twisted it vigorously and the cap opened!

At that moment, the bubbling water flowed out, and I trembled, like enshrined in the sacred fairy water of the snow-capped mountains, full of respect, holding the water bottle in both hands, and slowly put it to my dry and cracked lips.

That mouthful of water, like a sweet spring, slowly extended down from my mouth, through my throat, along my esophagus, slowly down drop by drop, moistening my life.

This is the sweetest and most beautiful sip of water I have ever drunk in my life, and I will never forget it.

……

With this water and dry food, I replenished my strength. I felt my strength slowly returning. I'm so excited to be able to come back to life.

I will not die in great calamity, and I will not die in heaven!

I started to put myself into work, scraping the walls every day, stopping when I was tired, and drinking a little water - I had learned the lesson that I couldn't be so crazy about exerting my energy, and I tried not to sweat, because there wasn't much mineral water, and I wanted to make sure that this precious water could be used to moisten my throat and swallow dry food in my stomach.

In this way, day after day, I don't know how long it took, about thirteen times after that little hole was opened, if each time it was half a month, it was more than two hundred days later, and I found that the crack had been scraped so much that I could put a finger in it!

My guess is that the wall should be at least half a meter thick, and if we scrape each other, it will probably take a few more months to scrape that crack through a small gap, and then we can talk.

Thinking of this, I was inexplicably excited.

A life with purpose always makes people forget their fears and hesitations. Compared to the days when I was first locked in, during this time, I no longer have nightmares, and I sleep very peacefully after the hard and tiring physical labor every day.

Adequate and high-quality sleep allowed my body to slowly recover. In addition, scraping the wall every day, constantly changing postures, and taking turns playing with the left and right hands, the muscles began to slowly become elastic.

In order to prevent the people from discovering my secret, I could probably calculate the day when I would throw water and dry food in, according to the interval between my drinks, and from that morning I would stop scraping the wall until the hole in the iron door was closed again, and I would continue to work.

It's really hard work. As time went on, the sound of the guy next door scraping the wall got louder and louder, and by the time I got there, I could almost hear the sound of the guy breathing out of breath!!

The moment I pierced that gap, I was thrilled...... I'll never forget that moment!

A stream of air rushed through that tiny gap, and I clearly felt its presence, and it floated to my face as if it had life, and stayed at the door of my head, telling me that the door of hope had been opened.

I was ecstatic, pressed for a moment, and then shouted into the gap:

"Hey...... Hey......"

Because I hadn't talked to anyone for too long, I suddenly felt a strong sense of strangeness and anticipation.

The other party was silent for a while, and after more than ten seconds, a bass voice came to my ear:

"Do you hear that?"

"Hear!!" I cheered.

I could feel the excitement of the other person...... How difficult it is, after nearly half a year of hard work, I finally succeeded!!

Separated by the thick cement wall, our two hearts have blended together tacitly, although we don't know who each other is, but we seem to have become old friends who we have known for many years! Fighting day and night, tacitly, just for this moment! This common goal has allowed us to find hope and courage in the boring life of captivity!

After calming down for a while, I finally heard the other party shout loudly:

"Who are you?" The voice was hoarse.

"My name is Gao Yue! Tall and tall, Yue Fei's Yue! What about you? I shouted into the gap.

"Huh?! Are you Gao Yue?! I'm Dr. Liu!! The other party's tone was very excited.

I put my ear closer and tried to hear a little more clearly, why was he so excited, did he know me? Who is Dr. Lau? I don't recognize the name, huh? I wondered.

"Physician Liu? I haven't heard of you! Are you a doctor? I shouted.

The other party was silent for a long time.

I was a little anxious and continued to shout:

"Why don't you speak!"

After a while, his voice came: "Are you really Gao Yue?" ”

"Yes, my name is Gao Yue." I replied.

"How long have you been locked up here?" Dr. Liu asked.

"I can't tell the exact time, it should be more than a year." I replied aloud.

"Do you have a cousin named Ah Qin and a good brother named He Bin? Have a good friend named Xiaoyong? Dr. Liu asked aloud.

"yes, yes...... How do you know?! "I was amazed.

"Then I probably know what's going on! Do you have a friend who looks like you, or is there some resemblance? Physician Liu asked.

"Yes, I also have a close friend named Qin Lingjin, who was the project manager during the renovation of Tianyue Building. Everyone says we're two brothers, and we look alike! What's wrong?! I replied aloud.

"It's you sworn friend who locked you and me in this hellish place!!" Physician Liu's angry voice came.

"Huh?!" A thunderbolt hit me in the head.

I suddenly felt dizzy and weak.

How could it be him?! Jin is my good brother! We have nothing to talk about, why would he hurt me?! No way!!

"Are you alright?" Physician Liu asked with concern.

"I'm fine...... It can't be Lingjin, he's my good brother, it can't be that he hurt me! I said slowly.

"It's definitely him! I'm 100% sure! He's so familiar with everything about you, he's taken your identity, locked you up here, and used your identity to run everything, and I reckon, he's now the big winner! Physician Liu was eloquent.

"What's your relationship with him? Why is he keeping you here? I asked him.

"I am a private detective, he and He Bin hired me to investigate the case of Xiao Yong and Han Yun, mainly Han Yun's death, many people suspect that Xiao Yong did it, he and He Bin asked me to intervene in the investigation, hoping to return Xiao Yong's innocence, but I found out some truth, but found a secret, I didn't understand it at the time, and now as soon as you say it, I will analyze it all! It's him, who pretended to be your identity and did so many hurtful things!! Dr. Liu shouted angrily.

My head blackened and I sat down on the floor.
