Chapter 88

(28.2)

Li Mang had pulled her out of a trap he had dug with his companions a long time ago. He had been hunting in the vicinity at the time and, remembering that he hadn’t checked the trap for a long time, he went to see if there was any prey who had fallen in it by chance.

He didn’t expect to get a woman.

Back then, she was lying on the ground and when she looked up, she looked at him with extremely surprised eyes. In fact, his surprise at that time was probably no less than hers. She was so different from the women he was used to see, her hair, the color of her skin, the look in her eyes, and the strange coverings wrapped around her body. Bach then, his first impulse was to tear apart the coverings around her upper body to see whether or not she had two breasts like other women. Otherwise, why would she cover them up like that?? But he held back. It wasn’t until the next night that he actually did it.

He felt that she was a mysterious woman from the start, whether it was the various oddities he found in the bag she was carrying, or the feelings she made him feel.

It was her knife that he had just used to slit that man’s throat. He had never dreamed that such a tool would exist in this world, cold, sharp, solid and handy. Using it to slit the throat of a prey was as easy as it could get.

He didn’t know where she came from. Sometimes he suspected that she was a gift sent from a god in heaven.

When she smiled and revealed her white teeth, her eyes curved into the crescent moon in the sky, and he would look at her in daze, so much so that he felt ashamed of himself; when she laid in his arms in a good mood, she would hum in a low voice a tune he could never imagine, and though he did not know what she was singing, he found it beautiful and moving, and wished that she would continue singing it.

She could make all kinds of strange knots, and she could teach the children of the tribe many games, and she could think of so many clever ways to make tools to use for the harvest, and lately he had even learned that she could do calculations better than any of the people in the tribe, and that even the wise Da Wu of the tribe asked her for advice.
