"Damn it!" The man swore angrily, "What are you dawdling for? After them, now!"
The two men raced to the window and saw two children holding hands and dashing into the heart of the forest. They immediately gave chase.
As they ran, they hurled curses, "Stop right now, you little brats, or I swear, I'll break your fucking legs once I get my hands on you!"
Their voices were getting closer and closer.
Lingyue was drenched in sweat from anxiety.
He and Xiao Shu couldn't outrun the two adults.
Despite his determined will and a few days of martial arts training, he was just eight years old with no chance of outmaneuvering two grown men.
If they continued this way, he and Xiao Shumiao would inevitably be captured by the men.
He gritted his teeth, pulled Xiao Shu around a turn, and took cover in the wild grass, temporarily disappearing from their pursuers' line of sight.
While he ran, he searched around and finally found a suitable hiding spot.
