Chapter 47, Winter
For the next period of time, Luo Ji could be said to be working hard on the pulley block while thinking about the design of the city gate. He felt like his brain cells were being killed in pieces every day. This day was both fulfilling and gripping.
mad.
Such maddening days passed day by day, and the weather became colder day by day. In the early morning of this day, Luo Ji suddenly shivered while he was sleeping, "Okay, it's so cold..."
Subconsciously tightening the animal skin quilt around him, Luo Ji almost wanted to wrap himself up into a rice dumpling, but he was completely unable to dispel the chill that swept over him. The sudden and drastic drop in temperature in the early morning made the night fall.
The Mirror Tribe completely woke up from the cold.
Wrapped in the thick animal skin, the moment Luo Ji got out of his tent, the cold wind whizzing towards him was like ice knives. The feeling that blew on his face was no longer cold, but painful.
!
The pain, as if his skin was almost scratched by frostbite, made Luo Ji, who had gradually adapted to the ice and snow, once again clearly feel the harsh living environment of this era.
It was still dark, but almost the entire tribe had woken up from the cold, and the faint cries of children could still be heard. Luo Ji gritted his teeth, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, driving him
He shouted loudly, "Hurry up and take out all the coal that you have stored up to start a fire, and then cook a few more pots of carrot soup."
The temperature was so low that it was impossible to sleep. If I continued to sleep, I might not be able to wake up! Under Luo Ji's command, fires were quickly lit one after another in the Mirror Tribe.
, the temperature generated by the burning coal made the temperature in the tribe rise slightly, but Luo Ji couldn't be optimistic at all. It was too cold. Even sitting next to the fire, he felt like he was about to freeze, and even his breathing became difficult.
Become painful.
After the carrot soup was cooked, he drank two bowls in a row, and he finally felt a little better. "Cook more and let everyone in the tribe get a bowl of soup. After drinking the soup, boil hot water. Don't worry."
Stop."
After saying that, Luo Ji wrapped himself in animal skins and stood up from the fire, "Everyone, please stop sitting. Stand up and move around the fire. This will keep your body warm!"
Luo Ji was very scared. He was afraid that some of his tribe's people would freeze to death or get sick. The disease might spread and the sick people would be unable to work, which would affect the tribe's work efficiency and development speed.
Then the food supply and wood fuel also became insufficient due to the decline in work efficiency. Everyone began to be unable to eat enough, and the body became weak. More and more people became sick, completely falling into a negative cycle. Finally, towards
destroy……
Shaking his head vigorously to get this bad guess out of his mind, Luo Ji's originally gradually perfected development plan was instantly disrupted by this ruthless nature.
What can he do now? Apart from asking people to make fire and make soup, and remind his tribesmen to move their bodies and maintain body temperature, what else can he do? A deep feeling of powerlessness arises spontaneously.
"Find a way! Hurry up and think of a way!" Sitting by the fire, Luo Ji almost forced his brain to start functioning. The weather was too cold, making it impossible to fall asleep, but it was impossible for a living person not to sleep.
?At the same time, if you cannot get adequate rest, where will you have the energy to work the next day? This is simply the entrance to a negative cycle! Therefore, the problem of sleep and rest must be solved!
"Light a fire in the tent?" As soon as the thought came up, Luo Ji crushed it into pieces and threw it into the non-recyclable trash can. He was really frozen. The gas produced by burning coal is a harmful substance.
He still knew common sense. Lighting a fire in a tent would keep you warm, but death would not be far away.
No, it was too cold. He felt that his brain was about to stop thinking, "Damn! I really want air conditioning and floor heating..."
This idea was even more ridiculous than lighting a fire in the tent, so he just thought about it in his mind. However, before he could laugh at himself, the expression on Luo Ji's face suddenly became startled, "Wait, the floor is heated?"
There was a vague flash of inspiration in his mind. It was a very subtle feeling, but Luo Ji knew that he might have found a breakthrough!
The whole mood was obviously a little excited. Luo Ji called two tribe members, quickly got into his tent, and told them to dig a rectangular shallow pit on the ground inside the tent, and then asked them to take two
Pick a wooden stick, pick a few hot coals from the fire outside, and throw them into the shallow pit. Then fill the shallow pit, and finally spread the animal skins on top, and you're done!
After waiting for a while, Luo Ji crawled into the animal skin quilt and thought, Oh my God! Is this paradise? No one cares about me, I will spend this winter in here!
However, the actual situation was that early the next morning, Luo Ji woke up as early as before, even earlier than usual. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep well because he was worried about the condition of his tribe members. In addition, there was an unexpected situation early this morning.
, causing him to obviously lack sleep at the moment, and his whole spirit seemed a little depressed.
After dawn, as the sun rose, the temperature warmed up slightly, making people feel much more comfortable. Luo Ji, who had not heard any bad news for the time being, breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it carefully, he actually did not need to be too pessimistic.
The countermeasures taken yesterday were quite timely. People who lived in ancient times have withstood so many harsh environments, so their physiques should not be unable to withstand even that.
However, after thinking about it, when everyone gathered for breakfast, Luo Ji emphasized to everyone that if anyone felt unwell, they must speak up as soon as possible.
At the same time, for the sake of safety, Luo Ji also changed the original two meals a day to three meals a day, and added a hot soup to ward off the cold at noon. Although this would significantly increase the food consumption of their tribe, as long as the manpower
As long as you are safe, you can always find a way to solve the food problem.
In addition, what also worried Luo Ji a little was probably the situation on the Black Rock Tribe, because this sharp drop in temperature has once again increased the importance of coal, and the demand has also increased accordingly. Although the situation in the previous paragraph
Luo Ji has been hoarding the coal mined by the Black Rock Tribe for a long time, but according to the consumption last night, he really doesn't know how long he can last.
Under this situation, the top priority of their tribe had to change. Luo Ji asked the members of the logging team to temporarily put down their work, and then divided them into two groups. One group temporarily joined the mining team and rushed to the Black Rock Tribe.
On one side, they accelerated the mining of coal, and the other group rushed to the farming land where white radish was discovered, asking them to dig more white radish or other vegetables and foods. The development focus of the entire tribe began to focus on food and
