Chapter 2595 A Woman's Scream Came in the Middle of the Night
Chapter 2595
Qiao Liancheng shook his head and said, "No, if we all go, what will happen to this place?"
"This place is full of women and children."
Hai Rongtian thought about it and agreed.
But he was worried about his son going alone!
Just then, Jiang Wan said, "I'll go. I'll go with Qiao Liancheng."
Hai Rongtian turned to look at her: "Why aren't you asleep either?"
Jiang Wan said, "I heard that scream, how could I possibly sleep?"
Jiang Wan waved the flashlight in her hand and said, "I'll take the flashlight and go over there. We haven't gone very far. Let's take a look over there and come back if we don't find anything."
Hai Rongtian thought it over and agreed, so he didn't stop him anymore.
Jiang Wan and Qiao Liancheng were fully armed, carrying entrenching tools, as these were the only weapons they had at hand.
Qiao Liancheng, on the other hand, pulled out a military dagger from his waist, which he always carried with him.
Even when going out for fun, I always carry it with me.
The two of them headed towards the darkness.
Preliminary estimates suggest the sound originated from a distance of approximately four to five hundred meters.
When they walked over, they indeed saw a woman by the roadside.
The woman was covered in blood and was on the verge of death; it was likely that the accident had just happened here.
Jiang Wan came over and examined the woman carefully, only to find that she had not been stabbed.
how to say?
All the scars on her body were from scrapes and abrasions, not from being hit by swords or other stones.
It looks more like the wounds inflicted on the sharp rocks after falling off a cliff.
The woman had already fainted.
Jiang Wan looked closely and recognized her as one of the two women who had camped there that afternoon.
Jiang Wan sighed and said to Qiao Liancheng:
"You were right, those people probably had bad intentions."
"I just don't know how this woman got so many injuries."
She turned her head and looked around; the terrain here was relatively flat.
There are almost no cliffs or steep slopes around, so how could such a flat place be damaged like this?
Qiao Liancheng paused for a moment and said, "Let's take her back first. We can't just leave her to die."
Jiang Wan was somewhat unwilling.
They only brought two tents, which were barely enough for their own use.
If we bring this woman over, where will we put her?
But as Qiao Liancheng said, they couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, so after some hesitation, they decided to take the person away.
The two men stepped forward and dragged the woman back.
Back at our campsite, the campfire made the light brighter and warmer.
Jiang Wan placed the woman beside the campfire and examined her injuries.
They found that she didn't have any fatal injuries; she was probably just unconscious, so it wasn't too serious.
Whether there were internal injuries was uncertain. She examined the woman's injuries more carefully, frowned, and said:
"These wounds don't seem to have come from top to bottom, but rather from bottom to top."
Qiao Liancheng looked at her suspiciously and said, "You mean, the woman's injuries don't look like the kind you get from falling off a cliff, but rather like she was dragged up from the ground and then got cut?"
Jiang Wan nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
Qiao Liancheng said, "So, she came up from below."
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up: "That's right, how come I didn't think of that possibility?"
"Was there some kind of crevice or hole in the ground there just now? They fell down, and then she climbed up."
This possibility exists.
After thinking for a moment, the two said, "Let's go back and take another look. It's very likely that the other people have fallen down and haven't come up yet."
Jiang Wan thought it made sense.
Then he looked at Hai Rongtian.
Hai Rongtian looked at the woman intently, his expression serious, and nodded, saying, "You can go now. I'll keep an eye on things here."
Jiang Wan pointed at the woman and made a gesture.
It means: Be careful, she's a bad person.
Hai Rongtian nodded.
A few days ago, Hai Rongtian brought Li Xiaoyan home, but it turned out that Li Xiaoyan was a bad person.
Afterwards, Hai Rongtian felt extremely guilty. He had spent his whole life hunting geese, but in the end, he was the one who got pecked in the eye by a goose.
He always boasted that he had seen countless people and was very good at judging them.
However, they overlooked Li Xiaoyan, and almost ended up killing their own child.
So these days he's been eager to make up for it.
He's learned his lesson and now he's very averse to women, especially those of unknown origin.
Naturally, he could no longer easily trust women from outside the family.
Jiang Wan and Qiao Liancheng gave each other some more instructions before heading towards the place where they had found the woman.
They wandered around the area.
After searching for a long time, they finally found a clue in a place not far away.
The grass there looks a bit off; it's growing in a different direction.
how to say?
Under normal circumstances, grass bends to one side due to the wind.
The wind has been quite strong these past few days.
However, the grass in that area was rather messy, growing in all directions, clearly indicating that someone had disturbed it.
Jiang Wan pointed there, and Qiao Liancheng made a gesture.
It means: You stay out of the way, I'll handle this.
Jiang Wan took a flashlight and hid to the side, while Qiao Liancheng took out his entrenching tool and poked at the spot.
Then I discovered that it was like a flip panel, and when I poked it, the flip panel flipped over immediately.
Then I saw a huge, dark hole below.
When Qiao Liancheng saw the large hole, his expression changed.
Although the cave wasn't particularly large, you could feel the cold wind blowing up from below.
If the hole below were small, there wouldn't be such a strong cold wind.
The space inside is very large, and it's probably even deeper, which is why the wind is so biting.
He shone his flashlight inside, but couldn't see the end of the tunnel.
So that woman climbed up from here.
Qiao Liancheng pursed his lips, turned back to look at Jiang Wan, and asked in his eyes.
He wanted to go down and check, but he was worried that Jiang Wan might not be able to manage alone outside.
He was also afraid that Jiang Wan wouldn't allow him to go down.
Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "What if it's very deep down there and you fall in?"
"You can't go down without protective measures."
Qiao Liancheng said, "But we don't have a rope that long."
Jiang Wan paused for a moment and then said, "Tie the flashlight to the rope and lower it down. You'll be able to see what's below."
After a pause, he said:
“We have a drone on our vehicle; if all else fails, we can drop it down.”
"Then attach the flashlight to the drone, and you can see what's below."
Qiao Liancheng looked at her in shock: "When did you put the drone in the car?"
Jiang Wan said, "Kong Ling gave it to me as a sample, and I've kept it in my car just in case."
"I never expected it to come in handy now."
This car originally belonged to Digital Home, and it contained samples of various products.
However, Jiang Wan rarely uses this car. If their family's car hadn't been crushed, she wouldn't be using this one now.
