Without a word, she took out an alcohol stove, poured all the alcohol onto the wood, pulled a crumpled match from her pocket, lit it, and with a bang, the flame shot up high, illuminating the dark cave. Tears welled in the girl's eyes, and her face was streaked with tears.
Shi Quan finally felt that his arm was much better. He was soaked in sweat and felt like all his strength had been drained. He lay stiffly on the ground without saying a word.
His eyes, which were swollen like peaches, had gone down at some point and returned to their previous state. He looked at Lu Yuan gratefully, tears silently streaming down his face.
His daughter stood to the side, gently squatting down in front of him. When she looked at Lu Yuan again, her eyes were full of gratitude.
After a long time, Shi Quan finally felt that his arm had regained some strength, and he gently moved his fingers.
Lu Yuan had been holding his arm for a long time when he suddenly felt the other man's fingers twitch. He glanced at him and asked, "How are you? Is your arm feeling any better?"
"Much better...thank you, Boss Lu..."
Seeing the other person's appearance, Lu Yuan wished he could beat him up again immediately. He put his hand down and slowly placed the other person's hand in his arms. Then he raised his hand to check the time. Three hours had passed. His family must be extremely worried.
He spat on the ground: "Damn it, if you want to thank me, then don't cause me any more trouble!"
"If you're not dead, get up and leave quickly!"
Lu Yuan and the girl helped Shi Quan up, and the three of them slowly moved out of the cave. At this moment, only a few people remained in the west area, sitting blankly at the cave entrance, staring at the dark sky, like walking corpses, not knowing where to go.
As Lu Yuan watched the group walk past expressionlessly, Shi Quan felt a slight pang of emotion. However, after recalling his own experiences, he could only sigh and follow them.
The three of them sat on the plane. Lu Yuan touched the switches in front of him, having no idea what they were for.
"I'm sorry, boss, it was my fault. Let me do it!" Shi Quan said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person: "You're coming? Are you sure you can handle it? Give me proper guidance! If anything goes wrong, you just wait! What's the first step?"
Shi Quan quickly pointed to the keyhole.
"Start the engine and warm it up for twenty minutes to check the temperature!"
Lu Yuan took the key and turned the engine, and a loud noise immediately came out of the engine.
The propellers began to spin slowly, swirling the surrounding sand and gravel into the sky.
Then Shi Quan explained to Lu Yuan how to fly the plane. Lu Yuan listened attentively to his explanation over and over again. During this warm-up period, he had basically memorized everything. However, he was still a little nervous, after all, it was his first time flying a plane.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuan looked at the scenery outside the window.
"Hold on tight and hold on, I'm about to take off!"
Shi Quan sat to the side, watching the various data on the dashboard in the passenger seat.
"Northerly wind force 7, temperature -72 degrees Celsius, visibility 200 meters, no crosswinds, takeoff is possible!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then held the joystick and slowly lifted it upwards. Shi Quan then used his left hand to help Lu Yuan turn on some buttons that he had overlooked.
As the plane slowly ascended, Lu Yuan's heart began to tighten.
The stones on the ground got smaller and smaller, and Lu Yuan only relaxed after the plane had risen to an altitude of 300 meters.
"Boss, we can fly forward now, but we need to go slowly!"
"Don't make a sound, I know!" Lu Yuan was extremely nervous at this moment.
He immediately forgot everything he had just memorized. Now he was getting impatient and didn't know what to do next. Especially when he looked at the dashboard with all the buttons, Lu Yuan felt a headache coming on. In addition, Shi Quan beside him kept urging him, which made him even more anxious.
After fiddling with it for a while, the plane finally started flying forward at a steady speed. Fortunately, there was no crosswind. Lu Yuan slowly gripped the control stick, feeling his palms were covered in sweat.
Shi Quan quietly reminded Lu Yuan of some things he hadn't done well and suggested what to do next.
Zhou Tong and his family paced back and forth on the deck. Xiao Shan was getting anxious, and she became even more worried when she saw Zhou Tong pacing back and forth.
"Brother Zhu, please stop walking back and forth, okay? Why don't we go find Lu Yuan first, just in case something else has happened!"
Grandma quickly grabbed Xiaoshan's arm: "Pah, pah, pah! You can't say unlucky things before you leave! Something must have been left at home!"
Zhou Tong gritted his teeth, looked at the sky in the distance, and finally made up his mind: "Uncle Lu, you guys keep an eye on things, I'm going to go find Lu Yuan!"
Just as the other person was about to jump down, he suddenly heard the roar of an airplane propeller overhead. He immediately stopped and looked up, only to see a huge helicopter slowly flying towards them, with two flashing red lights below indicating the aircraft's location.
"Look, it's our plane!" Xiao Shan exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the plane in the sky.
Zhou Tong was relieved and quickly told everyone to evacuate from the deck.
