When flock of goat vented to Vick the forsaken, Van Loon chose to step aside, his gaze turning to the injured goats in the midst of the battle. He walked slowly over, observing the condition of these wounded creatures, his heart filled with pity and concern.
Scattered across the grass were some ewes and other goats, bearing visible wounds. These goats could only lie there in pain, resting, lacking proper medical care. Van Loon’s eyes shimmered with a sorrowful light, deeply aware of how helpless the scarcity of medical resources was in this primitive environment.
What makes him even more heartbroken is the condition of the Leader goat. This once mighty and indomitable leader of the flock of goat is now lying on the ground, covered in blood and deep wounds. Its breathing is weak, as if it could stop at any moment. Van Loon gently walks to the side of the Leader goat, getting close to it, seemingly wanting to offer it some comfort and support.
Van Loon lowers his head and gently touches the Leader goat with his nose, this is how goats express care and sympathy to each other. He silently keeps watch by the side of the Leader goat, hoping to give this former leader some strength and courage through his presence. At this moment, Van Loon is no longer just an ordinary goat, he is more like a companion, a friend who reaches out to help in difficult times.
Van Loon's gentle comfort seemed to touch the consciousness of the Leader goat. The once brave leader exerted all his strength to open his blurry eyes, and his gaze fell weakly upon Van Loon. In those dim eyes, there seemed to be a silent message, a deep recognition and expectation. The Leader goat's gaze carried a wordless gratitude and trust, as if telling Van Loon that it had full confidence in the future of the flock of goat.
Van Loon deeply felt the will of the Leader goat, knowing that the old leader's life was coming to an end. In this quiet and solemn moment, Van Loon silently expressed the deepest respect to the Leader goat. He thanked the Leader goat for the efforts and sacrifices made for the flock of goat in the past, and mourned his imminent departure.
Van Loon slowly raised his horns, emitting a loud and mournful bleat. This bleat was not only a farewell to the Leader goat, but also symbolized the anticipation of a new life and hope for the future. The mother sheep and other less seriously injured goats on the side were moved by this bleat, and they also raised their heads in their own way to express their respect for the Leader goat. At this moment, a deep sense of unity and mutual understanding emerged among the flock of goat, with each goat expressing their final respects to the great leader in their own way.
As the flock of goat filled with respectful and sorrowful gazes converged on the Leader goat, this once great leader slowly closed his eyes for the last time in his life, in full view of everyone. His breath peacefully ceased, symbolizing the end of an era. In this heavy moment, the surrounding goats fell into a silence, with only the gentle breeze brushing the grass, as if bidding farewell to the Leader goat.
Van Loon stood quietly beside the leader goat, witnessing the former leader's final journey. His eyes slowly scanned the surrounding grassland, where many injured goats lay, some on the ground with untreated wounds, bleeding, and others groaning in pain, unable to get up. This scene touched the softness deep in Van Loon's heart, his eyes filled with compassion and empathy.
As his gaze shifted to the helpless sheep, he felt an invisible responsibility weighing on his shoulders. The departure of the leader goat was not only a moment of sadness, but also a turning point that awakened the leadership instinct within Van Loon. He deeply felt that now was the time for him to step forward and guide these companions out of their predicament.
Filled with determination, Van Loon turned towards the goats in need of help. His gaze was firm and powerful, as if telling each goat that they were no longer alone. With a clear and strong call, he signaled for a few ewes to follow him, ready to lead them in search of healing herbs. Van Loon remembered every herb and its properties that Professor Jin Benlajie had taught him, knowing it would be the key to helping the flock of goat recover from the disaster.
Van Loon ventured deep into the woods with a few ewes, fully aware of his mission. He knew that in the current situation, it was crucial to teach these ewes how to identify and gather herbs. This basic knowledge would be their key to self-rescue and essential for the recovery and rebuilding of the entire flock of goat.
In the grove, Van Loon quickly found a familiar herb. He called out loudly, making clear sounds like a sheep to attract the attention of the ewes. Then, he carefully picked the herb with his mouth and showed it to the ewes. His movements were precise and skilled, demonstrating the practical skills he had learned under Jin Benlajie's guidance.
The ewes seemed to quickly understand Van Loon's intention. They approached the herb, carefully sniffed it with their noses, seemingly memorizing the smell and appearance of the herb. After several observations and imitations, these ewes began to search for the same herb in the grove. They gradually learned how to use their teeth and mouths to pick these herbs and carefully bring them back to the injured flock of goat.
Van Loon quietly observed the learning process of the ewes, feeling satisfied and proud. He not only taught them a valuable skill, but also helped them establish self-sufficiency.
