The Long Walk Chapter 13

The group and Kristina who is now part of the group continue their journey. They were hungry and spring had come. They came across a horse through some trees. Kolemenos and Slavomir went toward the horse with the axe ready to kill it in order to eat.Then suddenly the man or the owner of the horse came out. He reassured the group he was of no harm and even gave them food to eat. They wondered off and they took his gun just in case. It wasn't long before the group grew hungry again and they were looking for a meal. Outside a small town is where they decided to steal a pig. Kolemnos and Slav went into a barn at night to steal the pig. They were successful and the group of prisoners had a meal for the next day or two. They ate as much as they could and smoked the rest and saved it to eat it later on. When they got close to the Trans-Siberian railway they thought of the great risk of getting caught because of heavy patrol so they decided to go at night. They ran across as far as they could and kept going. They also bumped into some Mongols that questioned lightly where they were going. Since they're Russian was broken and Slav stayed quite for a moment they assumed and threw out there that the group was going to Lasa to pray. They all agreed and the Mongols questioned about Kristina. They said she had relatives over there so they said they're goodbyes and gave them all peanuts.
