Chapter 136 Rescue
Nowadays, the mobile phone in her pocket is Mo Wenchu's only support. She will take it out from time to time to look at it, and when she finds that there is no signal, she will put it back in despair.
This action was repeated many times.
An hour later, the rain finally stopped, but the phone still had no signal.
Mo Wenchu huddled up in a ball. It was already six o'clock. Although the sky had cleared up again because the rain had receded, Mo Wenchu knew that there was only one hour until sunset.
The battery of the mobile phone is only 25%. If rescue cannot be obtained within an hour, it means that Mo Wenchu will most likely need to use the 25% battery to spend the night in the forest.
Looking at the tall trees around him and thinking of the black snake that just passed in front of him, Mo Wenchu shrank.
Spending a night in the deserted mountains and old forests, Mo Wenchu could not imagine what would happen that night.
But now her ankle is injured and she has almost lost her ability to move. She has no tools except her mobile phone, and is almost helpless against the coming dark night.
When night fell, Mo Wenchu was cold and hungry. She huddled on the roadside, shivering all over because of the cold.
It was completely dark when Gu Jue returned to the manor. As soon as he stepped into the living room, the servant immediately stepped forward in panic, "Mr. Gu, Miss Mo has not come back since she left at noon. I have asked them to look for her.
But it has been more than two hours and there is no news at all.”
"Is she going out?" Gu Jue paused while taking off his coat, and looked at the person in front of him with an eyebrow.
"Miss Mo said she would go out for a walk and not let us follow her. I thought she would be back soon, but I didn't expect..."
"Has the surveillance checked? Which direction are you going?"
"The mountain should be in the direction of the observation deck."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jue immediately turned around and went out.
Driving the car slowly along the mountain road, searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Mo Wenchu.
But after searching along the road from the manor to the viewing platform, Gu Jue found nothing.
On the way back, Gu Jue used the car's high beam and suddenly saw three pebbles placed on the roadside at a fork in the road.
Gu Jue immediately stopped the car, got out of the car and went to observe the situation.
The three pebbles appearing here look a bit strange, as if someone deliberately placed them here to mark them.
Thinking of this, Gu Jue immediately got into the car and drove the car into the right-hand fork.
Sure enough, just as he guessed, three pebbles would appear on the side of the road at regular intervals on this fork in the road.
Just when Gu Jue was full of hope, he saw the flashing light ahead from a distance.
"Have you found the person?" After getting off the car, Gu Jue asked the two people standing on the roadside.
"Mr. Gu, we followed the markers all the way to find this place, but when we walked to the end, we still couldn't find any trace of Miss Mo. When we came back, we kept paying attention to the situation on the roadside, and found that the stone marker was at this location.
It’s been broken.”
Gu Jue looked down at the three stones, and then used the flashlight in his hand to shine forward.
There was indeed no stone mark in the distance. He couldn't help frowning and pointed the flashlight into the woods on both sides of the road. "How far is it from the military factory?"
"It's about six to seven hundred meters."
Gu Jue nodded thoughtfully and looked carefully at the marks under the tree, trying to find clues. However, because of the heavy rain just now, even though there were marks where Mo Wenchu had walked,
It has already been washed away.
"You guys continue searching along the woods. I'll go back the same way and look at the other fork. If there's any progress, I'll contact you via radio."
"yes."
After the two men received the order, they continued walking in the woods.
Gu Jue looked at it for a few times and then returned to the car.
Mo Wenchu was not familiar with this area, so Gu Jue felt that it was not very likely that she gave up the road and chose to walk through the woods. The most likely reason why the stone imprints disappeared here was that Mo Wenchu suddenly reacted after walking here.
This was the wrong way to go, so I turned back again.
However, the reason why Mo Wenchu did not return to the manor on time was most likely because she chose the wrong path at another fork in the road.
Thinking of this, Gu Jue immediately started the car and returned along the original route.
When he reached another fork in the road, he found the stone mark again.
My heart suddenly became excited.
Gu Jue drove slowly along the dim path. After driving for a short time, Gu Jue saw people huddled on the roadside from a distance.
The dazzling flash also caught Mo Wenchu's attention. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the light.
When the car stopped, I was still a little nervous. I held my phone silently, thinking that if the person in the car was a bad guy, I might be able to hit him hard on the head with my phone to buy time to escape.
But this nervousness finally completely disappeared when I saw Gu Jue.
He jumped out of the car and landed firmly on the ground. Mo Wenchu looked at him against the light, and her eyes turned red.
Gu Jue stepped forward immediately after standing firm. When he saw her injured ankle, he frowned and squatted on the ground, "Why is it still injured?"
"I accidentally fell." It was late autumn, and the night in the mountains was extremely cold. Coupled with the occasional cool breeze, Mo Wenchu's teeth chattered when she spoke.
Seeing her embarrassment, Gu Jue couldn't help but take off his coat and put it on her body.
Then, without waiting for Mo Wenchu to react, he picked her up and walked straight to the car.
Mo Wenchu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking of the current situation, if she tried to refuse again, it would be extremely hypocritical, so she simply gave up and let Gu Jue carry her back to the car.
The moment the door closed, Mo Wenchu wrapped her coat tightly and curled up in the seat.
"You see those stone markers?"
After Gu Jue got in the car, Mo Wenchu looked at him carefully and asked.
Gu Jue nodded, picked up the radio pager from in front of him, and told the others who were still searching in the forest that he had found Mo Wenchu.
"With this level of ability, I still dare to walk around without fear of encountering bad guys and wild animals."
After taking a look at Mo Wenchu, Gu Jue started the car.
Mo Wenchu pursed her lips, and her tone was obviously guilty when she retorted, "I have always had a good sense of direction, but I didn't expect to get lost today."
Gu Jue didn't speak, but silently turned up the heating in the car to the maximum.
