So, Inman doesn't kill the preacher. Instead, Inman took out a piece of paper and wrote on it the story of what had happened with the preacher. He stuck this paper in a branch just out of the preacher's reach (who was tied up to a tree). We all have those moments where we just want to get back at somebody for something they did. It usually isn't as extreme as taking someone's life. It is more along the lines of just embarrassing them so they learned their lesson, payback you could say. Inman then continued on and came across a Gypsy camp. He stayed there for a while, talking with some and getting to know them. The story then goes back to Ada and Ruby, who are working on the farm. Currently they went up to their apple orchard to have a picnic. If you didn't realize it yet, this story jumps back and forth between Inman's adventure and Ada's. When it goes back to Inman on his walk, he comes across his biggest annoyance, for lack of a better word. It was the preacher! He was looking rough from being beaten up by the community for his act, but he thanked Inman and walked with him. How bad would that suck? Meeting up with somebody you didn't like in the middle of nowhere and not being able to escape.
This was probably the community beat down on the preacher. These were probably some of the weapons used too. haha
