A common misspelling of huyendo, the gerund (the -ing form) of the verb huir, which means to flee or run away. It sounds identical to the correct word but uses a double l instead of a y (this is a frequent spelling error in Spain because the letters ll and y are pronounced the same way).
Present indicative: I huyo, you huyes, he/she huye, we huimos, you all huís, they huyen.
