Chapter 3: Desperate Escape
With a loud bang, just as the thunderstorm had receded a hundred paces, the large door suddenly crashed down. Leading the charge was another fierce and brutish slave, followed by several others who sprang out one by one from the wooden house.
Those wicked servants seemed to have given up all hope and were determined to eliminate the Lei Yu brothers. After pursuing them for so long, they were still closely following behind. Compared to before, the distance between the two sides had significantly decreased. After all, even though Lei Yu was familiar with the mountain path, carrying someone on his back and with his frail physique, despite having some strength, his endurance was ultimately limited. How could he possibly compare to those strong and robust wicked servants!
The sound of footsteps grew closer, and at that moment, Lei Yu suddenly stood up
This mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, and Taohua Mountain is merely one of its many peaks. Within this range, the thunderstorm can be said to be fleeing further and further away, while simultaneously delving deeper and deeper. In the end, even the thunderstorm itself has completely lost its sense of direction.
It is unclear whether it is due to fear or the cold weather, but although at this moment Lei Jie’s face had already turned a shade of purple, he still nodded in response to his elder brother Lei Yu's words
"Little brother! Hold on tight to me!" Gritting his teeth, Lei Yu stood up, carrying his younger brother Lei Jie on his back, and took off running at full speed.
At this moment, Leijie was already so frightened that he could not utter a word, and his vacant eyes revealed the panic he felt inside.
Crack... crack... Just after finishing these, a series of hurried footsteps clearly reached Lei Yu's ears. However, Lei Yu did not move at all; instead, he grasped a large snowball and squeezed it repeatedly.
However, although Lei Yu was frantically fleeing, his direction was not towards the foot of the mountain, for he knew that the power of Lord Wang at the foot of the mountain was even greater. Those people would definitely not help him. If he truly escaped to the foot of the mountain, both he and his brother would feel that death was inevitable. At this moment, their father was likely in grave danger. Those wicked servants would certainly not spare him and his brother. Since they had already cut the grass, they would naturally eliminate the roots as well.
"Little brother, you stay hidden here and absolutely do not make a sound. I will go and draw those bad people away! Remember, do not make any noise at all!" Lei Yu quietly instructed as he gently set Lei Jie down.
For his father, Lei Jincai, Lei Yu felt a deep sense of guilt. Although these few loud knocks could not compensate for anything, they were the only thing Lei Yu could do at this moment
As for the Peach Blossom Mountain, Lei Yu can be said to be a native, thoroughly familiar with it; even with his eyes closed, he could navigate through the mountains. Although he was carrying his younger brother, it would not be easy for those few wicked servants to catch up with him all at once.
"No, I can die, but my little brother absolutely cannot die!" Gritting his teeth, although Lei Yu was already exhausted to the point of being unrecognizable, he still dared not entertain even the slightest thought of stopping to rest
Chase! Absolutely must not let these two little rascals escape! The fierce and brutal slave fixed a pair of murderous eyes on the fading shadow of the thunderstorm, wiped the bloodstains from the book beneath, and with a wave of his hand, several people dashed off in the direction the thunderstorm had fled.
It was precisely because of this that Thunderstorm paused for a moment, gasping heavily. Looking around, although he did not see the traces of those few wicked slaves, Thunderstorm was convinced that they were surely not far behind him. After all, Thunderstorm himself knew that he had left very clear footprints during his escape, and those few individuals could not possibly have overlooked them.
Seeing Leijie like this, Lei Yu nodded in satisfaction, slowly stood up, and while retreating to his original position, smoothed out the footprints he had left near the thicket.
You little bastard, let's see where you can escape to! Chase! At this moment, the fierce and wicked slave finally reacted, letting out a contemptuous cold snort, and then quickly followed in the direction of Lei Yu.
The group of wicked servants in Lord Wang's household are certainly not virtuous characters. Thunderstorm has heard of several incidents where people were killed. Although some have reported these matters to the authorities, they ultimately always come to nothing. It is said that Lord Wang's family has powerful connections in the capital, with a strong background.
If this continues, it will be difficult for both myself and my younger brother to escape! In light of the current situation, Lei Yu felt anxious, yet there seemed to be no effective solution. After fleeing for so long, Lei Yu was already exhausted, panting heavily, and his legs felt as if they were filled with lead, feeling incredibly heavy.
Although the snowball attack was executed with full force, a snowball is ultimately just a snowball, and it is impossible to actually kill those few wicked servants. However, it did catch them off guard, as none of them expected Thunder Rain to have the audacity to stay here and throw snowballs at them. Seizing this opportunity, Thunder Rain turned around and ran straight into the jungle without looking back
The heavy snow continues to fall, and the snow on the ground is over a foot thick, making it possible to leave a deep footprint with just one step. Where exactly am I in this mountain range? At this moment, Lei Yu can be said to be completely lost, or more accurately, he only knows that he is in a jungle. However, the jungle has its advantages; at least the various trees around can temporarily block the line of sight of the several wicked slaves from He - Tu - Shu who are pursuing him.

Although it is said that a man's knees are made of gold, Lei Yu, at this moment, still knelt down without hesitation
"Damn it! I'll kill you bastards!" muttering to himself, Lei Yu picked up the snowball in his hand and threw it at the few wicked slaves who had just poked their heads out.
Not far away, there is a cluster of low shrubs, and Thunderstorm ran over in a few quick steps.
Although Lei Yu is reluctant to leave, unwilling to let go of his father, even if it means being beaten to death, he wishes to die alongside his father. However, Lei Yu cannot do so, for he is not alone; Lei Jie is still by his side. Because of his momentary impulse that led to this disaster, Lei Yu does not want anything to happen to his most beloved younger brother, Lei Jie.
With the door panel serving as a barrier, although the thunderstorm cannot see what the situation is like beyond that door, it can imagine how its father is doing now
"Father..." With a furious roar, Lei Yu turned around, gazing at the door that continued to bang loudly at that moment. He knelt down, respectfully bowing his head several times.
