Soon, all four bamboo tubes were filled with water. Wang Lun then took the earthenware pot and led Liu Ruoling to the pool. Wang Lun went to fetch water to cook breakfast, while Liu Ruoling went to wash up.

Wang Lun was cooking breakfast when Liu Ruoling, having finished washing up, came into the room. Wang Lun asked her to watch the pot while he scooped up the fishing net and laid it on a rack to dry, so he could repair it in the afternoon.

Wang Lun turned and went out to the pond. He picked up a long stick with a hook, dipped it into the water, and hooked up the fishing net. Although there was a long hook, his sleeves were still a little wet, but Wang Lun didn't care. It was hot, and they would dry in a little while.

Wang Lun took the bundled fishing net to the rack. He untied it, spread it out, and then hung it on the rack. At this time, Li Ling and Liu Ruoxi also got up. Li Ling went to wash up first, while Liu Ruoxi helped hang the other fishing net on the rack to dry. After the net was dry, Liu Ruoxi went to wash up.

Breakfast was again wild vegetable stewed with fish. While eating, Wang Lun explained his recent plans to the other three. Li Ling and the other two had no objections, as Wang Lun had handled this aspect quite well.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Wang Lun began to arrange the day's activities. In the morning, the four of them would go cut grass together, taking the goats with them to see how well they were tamed. If they behaved well, they would take them to the beach to cut banana trees. If they didn't behave well, the goats would have to stay at the camp. For the goats' safety, and to ensure that Wang Lun and his group didn't lose any, Wang Lun planned to lock the goats in the innermost compartment of the rabbit pen, blocking it with plenty of firewood. He figured that way, the goats would be safe until Wang Lun and the others returned.

In the afternoon, Wang Lun planned to have Li Ling and Liu Ruoxi stay at the campsite and repair the fishing nets. Wang Lun then took Liu Ruoling to the woods to cut some long sticks, which would be used to hang fish or to build the walls of the pond later.

Speaking of firewood, Wang Lun realized that they only had four or five bundles left. So he told the three of them, "After we finish fishing, find some time to go and chop some more firewood for the next day or two." He also told them to remind him when the time came. After finishing these things, the four of them finished their breakfast. Liu Ruoxi and Li Ling then went to wash the pots and pans, while Wang Lun checked all the tools one last time.

After checking the tools, Wang Lun took Liu Ruoling to the sheepfold. The goats were quite docile; after spending these few days together, they had gradually gotten used to the presence of the four of them.

So Wang Lun took a bundle of straw rope and went into the sheepfold. Meanwhile, he had Liu Ruoling outside fetch some grass to lure the goats to graze. Wang Lun then took the opportunity to tie the straw rope around the goats' necks. The plan was very successful, thanks in part to the goats' cooperation. He successfully tethered the goats on the first try.

After the goats finished grazing, Wang Lun led them around the pen. The goats were quite cooperative, following behind Wang Lun without attacking him. Wang Lun then considered them successfully tamed.

So Liu Ruoling opened the sheepfold gate, and Wang Lun led the goats out. The goats continued to follow Wang Lun without attacking him. They just kept trying to eat the planted wild vegetables, but were prevented from doing so by Wang Lun leading them.

So Wang Lun asked Liu Ruoling to try and see if the goat would follow her. Wang Lun instructed Liu Ruoling to be careful of the goats, fearing they might attack people. Of course, Wang Lun was also watching closely, reminding Liu Ruoling and trying to stop the goats.

The result was good; the goat continued to follow Liu Ruoling. However, one time the rope was a little loose, allowing the goat to steal a wild vegetable. But Wang Lun didn't mind; after all, a tamed goat was far more useful than a wild vegetable.

Wang Lun then had Li Ling and Liu Ruoling try leading the goat. The two women led the goat around the camp, with the same result. It seemed the goat had truly been tamed. So Wang Lun had Liu Ruoling lead the goat, and each carrying their own basket, they went to the meadow to cut grass. But this time, it wasn't just the four of them; there was also a goat.

Along the way, the goats were quite obedient, showing no unusual behavior except for wanting to eat grass. Wang Lun felt somewhat relieved. Upon arriving at the pasture, Wang Lun had Liu Ruoling lead the goats to graze nearby. The three of them cut grass first, and after a while, Liu Ruoxi would take over.

By the time the sun came up, the four of them had finally filled four baskets with grass. Of course, Wang Lun also remembered to tie two bundles to the goats so they could carry them later. The goats had eaten their fill during this time and, led by Li Ling, went to a tree to rest.

Seeing that his basket was full, Wang Lun asked Li Ling to bring the goat over. The goat was quite obedient and followed Li Ling. Wang Lun took the straw rope from Li Ling and tightened it until he grasped the loop of straw rope around the goat's neck. Wang Lun held on tightly, and then had Li Ling and Liu Ruoling tie two bundles of grass to the goat's back.

The goat seemed a bit unaccustomed to it and struggled. But after Wang Lun smacked it twice, it gave in. There was no major struggle, just some minor movements and a few bleatings. Wang Lun didn't mind; as long as it did its transport work well, he was willing to keep it. If it misbehaved, Wang Lun figured he could always arrange for a whole roasted lamb.

Soon, two bundles of grass were tied to the goats. Wang Lun had Li Ling lead the goats first. He picked up his basket and then took the rope. On the way back, Wang Lun planned to lead the goats himself. First, this was the first time using goats to transport grass, and he was worried the goats might be unaccustomed to it and attack people along the way. If they attacked others, Wang Lun felt there was a high chance they would be injured, but if it were him, the goats would likely be the ones who got hurt. Second, Wang Lun was worried about predators attacking along the way. Previously, Wang Lun was at the back, which was relatively safe. But this time, leading the goats, Wang Lun could only walk at the front, with Liu Ruoling at the back. There was no other way; Li Ling and Liu Ruoxi had virtually no offensive capabilities, and it was already quite good if they could protect themselves. Usually, Liu Ruoling would lead and Wang Lun would bring up the rear. But this time it was the other way around, and Wang Lun was still a little uneasy.

Fortunately, the goat remained quite well-behaved throughout the journey. Perhaps it was because it was full, or perhaps it knew that the person leading it was Wang Lun, and after assessing the situation, gave up because it couldn't win. No other unexpected incidents occurred along the way, and the goat returned safely to the camp.

Upon arriving at the campsite, Wang Lun put down his basket, not even bothering to put down the baskets for Li Ling and the other two. Instead, he first untied the ropes binding the goats and lowered the two bundles of grass. Then, he led the goats back to the sheepfold. Next, Wang Lun gathered a large bunch of grass and tossed it to the goats. Of course, he also poured a full puddle of water for the goats, as is essential.
