From February 19th to February 24th, the rain hardly stopped.
Fortunately, although the rain was continuous, it was not heavy and far from reaching the level of a storm, so it didn't greatly affect going out.
Worrying that the mother goat and her kid tied on the grass had no shelter from the rain and could fall ill if drenched for too long, Chen Zhou untied the long rope around the mother goat's neck and put shackles on their feet to allow them to move freely.
The mother goat and her kid were very familiar with Chen Zhou and didn't fear him, making it easy to catch them as usual.
But considering the flock was nearby, and fearing the goats might run off with them, Chen Zhou specifically placed a bowl of salt inside a deserted cave on the hillside.
Every afternoon, he would spare some time to take the mother goat and her kid to the cave to lick salt, helping them develop the habit of going there to replenish salt.
