They break away and Lan Tian leads the way as the follow the sound through the dark tunnel.
It echoes in some places and disappears in others as they traverse the narrow passage. Along with the sobbing they can hear the sound of running water.
The tunnels must lead to an underground water source. Wu Yun has the confirmation when his next step plunges his foot into cold water.
He curses under his breath and trudges on, hoping the water won't get much deeper.
They eventually reach a chamber with a higher ceiling, and the sound of the cries gets louder as it bounces around the cavernous walls.
Lan Tian listens carefully, and then starts walking left, Wu Yun takes hold of his robes to avoid losing sight of him.
They come to a small alcove, nestled away from the flowing water, where a hunched woman is trying to cradle someone lying on their back.
