Kathy awoke. A heavy fog blotted out the landscape.
-- So far he still hasn't told me where we are,"-- said the young woman, looking around.
-- In the province of Xian,"-- the count reported as if it were such a thing.
-- Don't tell me!!. I want to go and see the terracotta warriors," --said the young woman, when she understood where they were.
-- It will be a long time before they are discovered.
-- Damn it,"-- she said, receiving a cup of tea.

-- I'm very hungry," Mei To complained.
-- There are several of us around here who are also hungry. Let's move closer. If things get tough we have the automatic pistol and a box of ammunition.
The girl immediately began to walk towards the group, watching the morning sun dissipate the fog.
-- Wait for me, you have no idea who these people might be," said Thomas, running after her with the heavy backpacks.

The group saw the two coming.
Riding on his horse Qiang Ling saw them coming and made a restraining movement towards his warriors.
He laughed loudly and pointing to the two coming, looking at Kathy he said.
-- Unquestionably a woman's hair has more strength than an oxen team.
Kathy looked at where the count was pointing and her astonishment knew no bounds.
-- Calm down," --said the Count to his warriors--, "It is a lover who has come to claim his bride.
Finally the girl and the man arrived at the camp, while from his horse Qiang Ling looked at him.
-- You brought her without him permission,"-- Thomas accused the Count and pointed to the girl, then looked at Kathy, "--Why did this man dress you like that? And where are we?
-- These are my lands. Miss Kathy is my guest. And since you have doubts I can give you my word of honor to the parties with rights, that you have been treated according to your dignity-- looking at Mei To-- You are not going to tell me that the teenager is the daughter of both.
-- My name is Mei To and I have come to find a man who dresses similar to you who desecrated my virginity.
-- He has no rights over me," --said Kathy, feeling electricity in her stomach, mad with happiness to see Thomas there; understanding that not even the horses believed her.
The Count for a moment was under the impact of the news given by Mei To, then understanding who it was about, he breathed in and said.
-- I swear by the power of the gods that I will collect this affront. Hang Hing, you will answer for this.
They all bowed to the count's promise.
Thomas looked at Kathy and approached . Many questions about her feelings were asked. Now, gazing at the girl, without makeup, dressed as she was and in the middle of the lonely, cold meadow, he had no doubt that he was looking at a girl with porcelain skin, extremely beautiful...and desirable...highly desirable.
-- Have they treated you well,"-- he asked, bringing his mouth close to her ear, so that there would be no doubt in the minds of those present as to who was the rooster in the barnyard.
-- Yes,"-- she said, feeling herself falling into the spiral of his presence; feeling him undressing her with his gaze, she mused, totally melted, "you are very transparent in your gaze, you know you have no right over me.
-- I don't intend to dominate me in a single one of my instincts.
-- It's not how you think. You do it because you're basic in the extreme.
-- Well, I came here to reassure myself.
-- Why did you bring her here? He asked, referring to the teenage girl.
-- Because the one who outraged her is here...
Kathy looked at him directly; and really Thomas was a poisonous and malignant trap...Rival of magnitude of whoever... And she appreciated that he came for her. She understood that he wanted everything from her..... All of it... In parts or all at once...
-- Why did everyone laugh when we approached?
-- The count told them that a woman's hair had more strength than an ox team.
-- He didn't get a letter wrong," Thomas told her intensely, so that she understood without a doubt which hairs of hers had made him jump through the doorway.
A throat clearing brought them back to reality. Everyone was looking at them and the cook was staring at them with a plate of rice in each hand.
-- Breakfast... I hope there are chicken lumpias..." said Thomas receiving the plates of food.
