Hidden Beauty in the Dark: The CEO's Secret Lover

Chapter 259 Gu Shanglu VS Song Li 10
And the knee of the right leg was bleeding out.

Gu Shanglu hurriedly ran towards Song Li.

The panic, fear and terror in Song Li's heart disappeared the moment he saw Gu Shanglu.

It seems that as long as Gu Shanglu appears, any problem can be solved.

His footsteps were a little staggering, but Song Li didn't care, and quickly rushed towards Gu Shanglu.

Hitting a solid chest head-on, Song Li lay on top of it, the tears that he had endured as before finally poured out.

She hugged him tightly with astonishing strength.

Gu Shanglu let Song Li hold him, and waited until she calmed down a little before saying, "We have to get out of here as soon as possible, it's too dangerous."

Song Li nodded.She stayed in the forest for two days and two nights. Because she caught a glimpse of the macaw, she was attracted by the brilliant color, so she forgot everything around her. When she came back to her senses, she could no longer see her teammates.

At that moment, she didn't panic, took the camera, and walked along the way she came from according to her memory.

However, due to the excitement of seeing the macaw, Song Li didn't remember the way he came, thinking that they would follow closely behind him.

A burst of thick mist hit, instantly dispersed everything, it was difficult to leave, so I could only stand where I was, waiting for the mist to dissipate.

After a long time, after the mist dissipated, he lost his way.

Getting lost in the primeval forest is the most dangerous.

The trees covered the sun, so there was no shadow, and the compass on his body also failed.

After getting separated, Song Li didn't panic at first.

But as time passed by every minute and every second, I was the only one in the vast forest, and the rest were either some inexplicable plants or some ferocious beasts.

The trace of fear gradually began to permeate the whole body, reaching the bottom of my heart.

Before coming here, I witnessed a cruel and ruthless slaughter in nature, and watched with my own eyes how those giant pythons entrenched in the trees swallowed the crocodiles in the pond not far in front of them.

If the giant pythons hadn't found food and had a good meal before they saw him, he would very likely be a good meal that wasn't enough for them to squeeze between their teeth this time.

Not daring to eat the plants here casually, on the core that the giant python spits out, liquid keeps slipping down and dripping onto the branches.

Song Li was afraid that the plants that had been contaminated by those liquids were highly poisonous.

Fortunately, I was carrying the necessary bag with a water bladder and a little water in it.

However, the fear and anxiety in his heart quickly occupied Song Li's mind after he could not see any people.

In the past two days, she has been sticking to one belief, that is, if she survives, someone will come to save her.

Sure enough, she waited.

And what she didn't expect was that it was Gu Shanglu who she was waiting for.

At that moment, no emotion can describe my mood.

That mixed emotion of surprise and surprise.

She really didn't expect that Gu Shanglu would come to rescue her!
They were just married in form, a fake marriage in name only, but she was really in danger, so he rushed over resolutely regardless of his own safety.

How could Song Li not be moved?
After walking a few steps, Song Li staggered and almost fell to the ground. Gu Shanglu quickly helped her steady, sighed helplessly, squatted down, and signaled her to climb onto his back.

Song Li was a little embarrassed, thinking about the current situation, he still lay down on the ground.

After walking a few hundred meters, a little farther away from the giant pythons, Gu Shanglu put her down, tore off a piece of cloth from the sleeve, and bandaged Song Li's injured knee.

"What hurt you?"

Song Li shook his head, with wet tears still remaining on his face, "I didn't get bitten, the fog was too thick, I couldn't see the road clearly, so I fell."

His face was pale, and there were countless mottled mud spots on it. He was in extreme embarrassment, and there was no half of his usual bright brilliance.

After skillfully bandaging Song Li, Gu Shanglu helped her stand up, with a bit of concern in his tone, "Can I go?"

Song Li nodded.

Even though the knee that had just been bandaged felt intense pain like a pinprick, Song Li still gritted his teeth and persisted.

"You, why did you come?" She didn't tell him that she would come to Amazon.

At this moment, because she hadn't eaten for two days, she was so weak that she couldn't even stand firmly, so she could only hang her whole body on Gu Shanglu.

Gu Shanglu quickly took out a pack of compressed biscuits from his backpack and handed it to her, "Here, add some energy so we can go out!"

"Yeah." Song Li finished eating the biscuits, drank water, and finally felt that his physical strength had recovered.

Gu Shanglu supported her, looking around, apparently looking for something.

"What are you looking for?"

"Find something that can tell the way."

Under normal circumstances, the compass will only appear abnormal when the earth is extremely north or extremely south.

But in this impenetrable forest, it doesn't work. Obviously, the magnetic field under the forest is not right.

"What?" Song Li asked.

I stayed here for about two days and one night, and I didn't even think about it, what could tell the direction.

"Dead tree." Gu Shanglu said concisely.

Song Li didn't realize it for a moment, "How can a dead tree tell the direction?"

"Annual rings."

The extremely brief two words made Song Li's eyes light up suddenly.

Why didn't she think of it.

Trees, like people, are subject to birth, old age, sickness and death.

And some trees, after dying, will fall to the ground, and their annual rings will be exposed.

The growth rings on the cross-section of the stump can often help to identify the direction.Because in the process of tree growth.The south side of the trunk receives more sunlight, and the primordial cells in the cambium divide more rapidly, and the radial growth speeds up. As a result, the growth rings on the south side of the stem are also wider.On the shady side of the stem facing north, the annual rings are obviously narrow.

Such a simple common sense, I didn't think of it at the critical moment.

If it wasn't for Gu Shanglu's arrival, I'm afraid I would be trapped in this forest and never get out.

After walking for a while, I came across many fallen trees.

Some fell naturally, and some were knocked down by certain beasts.

But there is no doubt that they all have annual rings.

Gu Shanglu thought for a while and said, "The way we came here should be in the north of the Amazon River. We just need to go south."

Along the Amazon River, there are villages not far away.

As long as you keep going south, you can get close to the Amazon River, and when you reach the river, you are out of danger.

At that time, the reason why the team chose to go by land instead of going upstream along the Amazon River was because, generally, there were few wild macaws in places where humans lived.

After identifying the direction, Gu Shanglu walked south with Song Li on his back.The injury on her knee made it impossible to walk in this kind of virgin forest, so Gu Shanglu could only carry her on his back.

There is no established path, you can only open it yourself.

"Hold tight." Gu Shanglu urged.

Song Li tightened the arms around Gu Shanglu's neck, and saw him pull out a foot-long saber from the inside of his trouser legs, and cut off the weeds in front of him.

"Why do you have these things?" Song Li asked while taking a break.

Gu Shanglu closed his eyes and rested his mind. Moving forward in the jungle was an extremely exhausting task.

Hearing this, he didn't look at Song Li, and parted his thin lips slightly, "Where did you come from, can I not make some preparations, did you come in with bare hands to fight those wild beasts?"

Song's heart felt warm.

"Gu Shanglu, thank you."

"The way to thank me is to persevere and get out of this ghost place safely and smoothly." Best, don't come here again.He added in his mind.

Although I have the direction, I don't know the time.

Suddenly, a little light rose in the woods.

It's fireflies.

There is a little fluorescent green on the tail, which is extraordinarily beautiful in the dark.

"It should be night." Song Li murmured.

Fireflies only glow at night.
