Inman is wandering through the woods. He has lost direction in the horrible storm, he finished all the medicine that the indian-lady gave him, and he is out of food. While on his walk, he felt like he was being followed and he turned around to see a man. He asked him what he wanted and the man said that there is a nice lady 3 miles down the road that would give him food and a place to rest. Inman listened to Potts, the man, and began walking to the house. He reached it and was allowed food and a place to stay. He was awakened early the next morning by the lady, Sara, and told to hide outside. There was the noise of horses coming to the house and it could be The Guard or raiders (Federals). Inman hid from a distance and watched the raiders tie up her only hog and take some chickens. Inman then followed the Feds to a spot where they camped for the night. Inman shot all of them down and brought the animals back to Sara. The next day, Inman helped her butcher the hog because the winter was coming and she needed food. He then stayed another night and before he left, he ate the hog's brain and eggs. That is pretty interesting. I cannot believe he would go out at dark and stalk the Federals. What if they caught him and shot him? That would be a stupid reason to die.
That would be fun to butcher a hog.
