The stone walls in the dark were bumpy and wet, and water drops from time to time on the top of the head. We touched the stone wall and continued to move forward in the dark. After not taking a few steps, I suddenly kicked something under my feet. I hurriedly leaned down to pick it up, touched it a few times and said excitedly: "I found our backpack. It should be. It’s your backpack."
Ma Biao said immediately: "Give it to me, there is a waterproof light in the bag."
I hurriedly handed the backpack to him, and after hearing the sound of the zipper being opened, there was another sound of searching for things. Soon Ma Biao said excitedly: "Found it!"
Snapped! The waterproof light turns on.
Because I was walking in the dark for a long time, the light suddenly turned on and it was very dazzling. I was a little dizzy. I hurriedly turned my head to one side. After my eyes adjusted to the brightness, I began to look around with the light.
The waterproof lamp can illuminate a range of more than ten meters, except for the stone wall in front of you, you can see nothing except water. Above the head, you can see stalactites, large and small, with drops of water dripping from the stalactites like a light rain.
It seems that we are in a cave.
I helped Ma Biao hold the waterproof lamp. He continued to look for it in his back. After a while, he found a waterproof bag from his backpack. The waterproof bag contained mobile phones, lighters, cigarettes, tissues and other small items that were afraid of water.
He took out the mobile phone from the water bag, and after confirming that the mobile phone had no signal, he put it back and said, "We should be still on the cliff."
There was no signal from the mobile phone at the bottom of the Qishui Cliff, and we were drawn in by the whirlpool again. Under normal circumstances, it was indeed in a place deeper than the Qishui Cliff, or in an underground cave under the Qishui River.
But this kind of speculation is not absolute, because we were drawn in by water, and now the water can only reach our ankles, so much water goes there, it is impossible to explain at all.
The greatness of the Creator, the power of nature, is really amazing!
Ma Biao put the backpack dripping with water on his back, and then put a piece of paper towel on the surface of the water. Until the paper towel sank, he said, "I can't feel the water flowing at all."
If you can't feel the water flowing, it means that the water under your feet has become stagnant water, and you can't tell where so much water is flowing.
Suddenly, my inspiration flashed. I remembered a section of the tomb exploration in a certain film and television series. I took a cigarette from Ma Biao and lit one.
Then let Ma Biao stay still
I wanted to talk, and then held my breath to hold the cigarette upright. Ma Biao estimated that I was going to cast a spell. He couldn't help but stepped back a few steps, staring at the smoke in my hand.
The blue-white smoke rose vertically, and then became curved until it dissipated, and the rising tobacco shook slightly for a moment. My heart moved immediately, and I hurriedly moved away from the stone wall, and continued to hold my breath to observe the rising shreds of cigarettes.
The rising tobacco flickered again.
Ma Biao couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"
I took a sigh of smoke, then pointed to the right and said, "Go this way, we might find an exit."
"why?"
"I tried it with a cigarette just now. The rising smoke shows that there is air flow. This kind of flow is not windy, but it can affect the rising smoke."
Ma Biao suddenly realized, and said excitedly: "Yes. You are really amazing, you can think of this!"
I am also a little proud of my wit, but still humblely said: "You are still well prepared for the previous work. The main credit is that you filled the cigarette and lighter in a waterproof bag. Go ahead. You shouldn't stay in such a place for long!"
Ma Biao and I walked in the direction I specified, walked a distance, and we tried again with cigarettes.
In a space without the concept of time, we stop and go, so that I don't start to lament that the place we are in is so big.
I don't know how long it took, and finally a wide rock cave in the true sense appeared before our eyes.
The cave is five or six meters high and seven or eight meters wide, and it is very irregular, completely formed naturally. This also virtually verified that my method of using smoke to test the air flow is correct.
After walking into the cave for a while, the water under our feet gradually disappeared, which shows that we are walking to a higher place. We are below the surface, and walking up high means that I am on the road to hope for survival.
This made Ma Biao and I extremely excited, and we hurried forward, and even almost ran at the end. But when it was discovered that there was a huge gap between facts and expectations, it was even greater despair.
Ma Biao and I sat down to rest, tired and exhausted. I continued to test the flow of the air with cigarettes until one cigarette burned out and there was no shaking of the tobacco. This makes me wonder if we have missed the way out and are drifting away from the way of escape.
But this possibility should not
Exist, because even if we miss the way out, the air will flow. As long as the air flows, the smoke generated by the burning of cigarettes should be shaken.
Could it be that the exit disappeared? But how did it disappear
Ma Biao looked at the phone and said, "We have been walking for another hour. Why can't we go? Will we go around underground?"
I don't want to go into the reasons for this and increase my troubles. I said decisively: "No matter what it is, we must go on. If we stop, then we have only a dead end."
Seeing Ma Biao's expression of lovelessness, I encouraged him to say: "Don't be discouraged, as long as we keep going, we will definitely be able to get out."
Ma Biao nodded weakly and said, "I hope so."
After a short break, we set off again. This time we didn't walk fast. I was still paying attention to the situation above my head while walking. The entire cave is roughly triangular, and it is preliminarily judged to be a cave caused by underground cracks.
After a short while, I vaguely heard the wind. I pulled Ma Piao aside and listened, and it turned out that there was a "whooping" sound similar to the wind passing through the canyon.
"Did you hear that?" I asked.
Ma Biao stood there for a while, and asked, "What did you hear?"
I hurriedly tapped a cigarette to test the air flow, and the tobacco shreds rose without any change. I hurriedly pressed my ears to the stone wall, and the sound of the "woo-woo" sound became more real.
Ma Biao also put his face on the stone wall like me, and said excitedly: "I heard it. I heard it! It's like the sound of wind!"
Even if the air in the cave did not flow, the sound of the wind could be heard, which was a positive signal for us. So Ma Biao and I were full of enthusiasm immediately and continued to dash forward.
The effort paid off, and after half an hour we finally reached the end of the cave, and the sound of the "woo-woo" sound became more tangential.
"Look! There might be a way out!" Ma Biao shouted excitedly, and then ran over in stride.
I hurriedly followed him and ran over. Sure enough, I found a narrow gap in the rock wall. The gap was only two positions wide, very deep, and there was no end in sight.
Before I could speak, Ma Biao couldn't wait to receive the waterproof light from me and got in without hesitation. Although I think it's a bit reckless to go in rashly, since there is a new opportunity, there is no reason to ignore it, so let's go in and have a look.
