Chapter 598


    Christina walked for a day and a night.


    She squatted on a t rock, looking desperately at the dark night sky. The stars were shining. The


    soles of her feet were burning and blistered. The fracture of her left leg became more serious. She had


    gritted her teeth and endured it since she left early in the morning.


    However, after walking for a day and a night, she did not reach the “market” she had expected.


    Was she wrong?


    Where on earth was this savage going with her and the animals? It was already night. The road ahead


    was boundless. Christina was hungry and tired, feeling her feet were crippled and numb from pain.


    The savage casually found a ce to rest for the night. It seemed that he also felt that it was not safe


    to travel at night.


    After a long day’s walk, they finally walked out of the in and rocky area. A few big trees appeared in


    front of them, which could shelter them from the sun.


    They rested under a big tree. The savages tied the hemp rope to a thick tree trunk, so Christina and the


    animals could only move in a small area. Christina crawled on a t rock to sit down. The animals


    looked around for grass to eat.


    The savage went to pick up some branches to make a fire. His fingers were too thick, so he had a


    difficult time using the lighter. He tried several times but still failed. Christina felt that the savage was so


    strong that he might break the lighter in minutes.


    The savage seemed to realize how important it was to make a fire in the wilderness. If he met a fierce


    beast, a torch could protect him.


    Therefore, he walked up to Christina, throwing the lighter at her feet.


    Christina was a little dazed. On his bearded face, there were dark eyes that were as sharp as beasts’.


    She dared not disobey him. Although she could notmunicate with the savage, it was obvious that


    he wanted her to help him make the fire.


    Christina lit the lighter at once with herparatively small hand. For her, it was a piece of cake.


    But the savage seemed to be surprised. Just like the first time he saw Christina use a lighter, his eyes


    were obviously filled with surprise. But with a thick beard, Christina could not see his expression.


    Christina thought that these modern tools were for “normal people” to use at the very beginning. If the


    lighters were for the barbarians on this ind to use, they should be designed into arger size. And


    the metal kettle around his waist would also need to be erged as well if it was designed for the


    barbarians.


    The savage may felt that if Christina starved to death, he would not be able to sell her at a good price,


    or because Christina’s using a lighter made the savages think that Christina was still valuable.


    In short, Christina was lucky tonight. The savage threw her a piece of dried meat, which was badly


    sunburned. Christina could not tell what kind of animal meat it was, but at least it was not a rat.


    Of course, Christina would not refuse food. She picked it up and ate it. Because the jerky was so hard


    that she could only bite off a little of the meat from the side. Then Christina chewed it slowly.


    Although the meat was badly dried, it tasted good.


    The savage himself was also eating the jerky. It should be dried by him under the sun. This kind of food


    was indeed convenient for him to take out. He also drank the water in the kettle mouthful by mouthful


    as he ate, and soon the water waspletely drunk by him.


    Looking at him secretly, Christina was very jealous because she was also thirsty.


    Animals dontck food. They seem to be full after eating a little grass. Moreover, they are not very tired


    after a long journey


    Although eating dried meat would make her salivate, Christina was still very thirsty. She looked at the


    big elk which was enjoying eating the leaves on the bush. The bush was only one meter tall, and its


    leaves were t, wide, and green. With their size being asrge as a palm, the leaves were looked very


    fresh and juicy like those sulent nts such as cactus.


    They should not be poisonous since the elk can eat them.


    Because Christina was tied to the end by the hemp rope, it was convenient for her to move. She


    dragged her injured left leg, limping over to snatch food from the elk.


    As she moved, the savage began to pay attention to her, and finding that she was eating that kind of


    leaf, he became confused.


    The leaves were bitter.

    Christina grabbed a thick leaf and put it into her mouth. Although it was juicy and could alleviate her


    thirst, it tasted bad with her whole mouth filled with bitterness.


    “Bro, it’s so bitter! How can you eat so much?”


    Christina looked at the big elk with someints in her eyes. After looking at her with pure eyes,


    the elk continued to enjoy the leaves leisurely.


    For survival, Christina couldn’t be picky about food.


    Although the leaf tasted bad, it was not poisonous and could quench her thirst. It was like a water bottle


    for Christina She could take it out and chew it when she was thirsty.


    Therefore, Christina plcked a lot of the leaves. She had to store some of them because she was afraid


    that she would not meet them again tomorrow.


    Sitting by the fire and watching Christina’s movements, the savage did not stop her.


    Christina also tried to break the stem of a bush to make her a crutch, but it was too thin.


    She circled around, but because the hemp rope tied around her waist restricted her area of movement,


    Christina picked up a few small branches under the big tree near her and immediately put them away.


    There were many dense vines growing on the dwarf trees around. The dark green vines were very


    tough. Christina was very happy to see them and then she pulled some of them out. Because the vines


    were too hard for her to cut, she picked up a slightly sharp stone on the ground and used it to cut the


    vine bit by bit.


    When the savage saw that Christina had slowly broken the vine using the sharp stone with her weak


    strength, he frowned. Maybe he was thinking about why the vine could be cut in this way.


    When she didn’t need to hurry at night, Christina was busy for more than half of the night tying her


    injured left foot tightly with vines and a few pieces of broken stems she had picked up. With this, she


    wouldn’t feel so painful walking tomorrow.


    The savage was confused and surprised by what she had done.


    At night on this ind, there were many dews. Christina’s clothes were half wet with dew. The


    temperature varied greatly in the day and at night, so Christina woke up from coldness in the middle of


    the night.


    Lying on the t rock, Christina was shivering with cold. With her clothes wet and cold, Christina felt


    very ufortable.


    She was very tired. When she slowly opened her eyes, Christina saw the dark sky was still full of stars.


    It was not dawn yet. She was now living a miserable life but she wouldn’t give up. She would enjoy


    every second of sleep because she didn’t know if she would die the next second so every moment was


    a blessing.


    Christina wanted to continue her sleep without caring too much. But when she turned around, she


    found that the savage was sitting beside the fire, adding firewood to it from time to time. He didn’t close


    his eyes all night, and he was staring at her with his vicious eyes,


    Christina was shocked and becamepletely awake when she saw the savage’s eyes,


    Although this man had always given her food, Christina could not forget that he was very dangerous.


    She had seen him fighting with other savages. He was rough and fierce and could easily kill her.


    Christina did not want to die. She wanted to live. Although she knew that she was in a dire situation,


    she thought that she might be able to leave the ind if she could make it until Patrick arrived.


    This was her biggest hope now.


    Christina sat in a daze, while the savage at the opposite of the fire watched her thoughtfully.


    After the sun rose, they began their journey again.


    After walking for days, Christina gained more experience. She hid more than half of the meat that the


    savage gave herst night and stored many sulent leaves. Besides, Christina also had fixed her


    broken left leg with branches.


    Therefore, after walking a long way today, Christina felt better than yesterday.


    She found that although the savage had the hemp rope in his hand, he did not pay much attention to


    the animals behind him that were nibbling grass, drinking water, pooing, peeing, and so on. If he found


    that he couldn’t pull the hemp rope because the animals were eating grass and did not want to walk,


    the man would stop to drink a mouthful of water, or check the surroundings.


    Therefore, Christina became bolder. When she saw that there were fruits and small tomatoes on the


    road, she would deviate from the direction of the team and go quickly to pick as many as possible,


    because she was afraid that the savage would be angry.


    When savage felt the hemp rope in his hand tighten, he turned his head in dissatisfaction. Seeing


    Christina pulling the other end of the hemp rope by going in the other direction, he felt this small and


    thin unknown animal troublesome, but he was willing to stop and wait for her.


    Christina, seeing that the savages didn’t get angry, pushed her luck. She picked many things up along


    the way, including a strong walking stick, which could be used as a weapon if necessary.


    She couldn’t carry so many things alone so she shamelessly tied her personal belongings to the back


    of the yellow cow.


    In this way, Christina was free from carrying these things. When the little yellow cow wagged its tail,


    Christina fed it a handful of fresh grass as a bribe.


    The savage turned to look at Christina from time to time, feeling curious about what she had done. He


    was fine with Christina’s using the little yellow cow to carry her things. As long as she didn’t cut the


    hemp rope around her waist and escape, the savage would not care about what she did, so he just let


    Christina do whatever she wanted.


    In fact, Christina really wanted to ride the big elk. She even thought about feeding the elk the kind of


    sulent leaves it liked regrly so that the elk would be happy to carry her.


    But this was just Christina’s fantasy. The male elk was very tall. She had no experience riding an elk,


    and her left Jeg was broken. If she fell down from it, she might have to see god earlier than she was


    supposed to.


    In the next few days, Christina gritted her teeth to walk, going through countless hardships just like


    Xuanzang


    seeking the sutra back then.


    Finally, on the fifth day, Christina and the savage went down a river.


    Christina was very excited that there was water. That’s because the ind was so short of daily


    necessities that she felt very excited and grateful to god even for a mouthful of water.


    She thought about how to store some water for drinking.


    Then Christina looked down the river. Apart from the sound of water flowing, she seemed to hear some


    noise, like that of bustling streets. She heard many people’s voices from afar.


    They continued walking, and the more they went down the river, the more noise they hear.


    Christina opened her eyes wide with surprise. Finally, she arrived at the “market.”


    In front of them, many savages set up stalls to sell. They shouted to sell all kinds of goods including


    animals, fur, and wooden products. The best seller in the frontest stall was lighters.
