Chapter 52, Funerals and Adjustments
Luo Ji did not force anyone to attend Zhao He's funeral, but in addition to continuing to keep an eye on the surrounding patrols and those who were far away from the Black Rock Tribe and could not come back in time, all the people from the Mingjing Tribe still gathered together at this moment.
, in this sad atmosphere, maybe we can feel better if we stay together.
The funeral was not complicated. Luo Ji chose a simple cremation. After all, keeping the body would bring the risk of contagious diseases. No one stood up to question his decision. At present, they do not have the concept that the body must be buried intact. It is estimated that in the future
There won’t be any anymore.
After the body was burned to ashes, Luo Ji motioned for everyone to put the ashes into a small wooden box that could only be described as rough in workmanship. Then there was a tombstone with a name on it and a soil bag with the ashes buried in it. This was Zhao He's final destination.
.
However, what Luo Ji didn't expect was that his willful behavior at this time had an effect beyond his expectation. The tribesmen who participated in Zhao He's funeral did not indulge in sadness or even
If Luo Ji needed to say anything more, everyone would immediately re-energize and dive into their respective tasks.
In fact, the reason is not complicated, because their emotions were vented and released during the whole funeral process. When they saw Zhao He's body burned to ashes and then buried in the grave, they might be sad or shed tears.
, but at the same time, they also clearly realized that Zhao He’s life had come to an end at this moment with this funeral, but their lives would continue. Through this funeral, everyone clearly realized this.
.
The entire tribe was running at high speed again. Luo Ji, who had just recovered from a serious illness, did not choose to stay in his tent to continue recuperating. Instead, he served as the spiritual support for all tribesmen and inspected the work everywhere. Of course, in order to avoid his little
His body was sick again, so he wrapped himself in two more layers of thick animal skins. His whole body looked extremely bloated, and even a little stupid, but he obviously didn't care about this.
In fact, they didn't have any good means of keeping warm in this era. Apart from making a fire and drinking soup, they just had to wear more clothes. However, even so, staying on the ice fishing all day long would still make them freeze completely.
, even frostbite, and the fishing efficiency has become lower.
To solve this problem, Luo Ji didn't have any smart ideas, so he could only use the stupidest method, asking the women in the tribe to boil hot water constantly, and at the same time, he also reduced the number of fishing nets by half.
Originally, each member of the fishing team worked full time, but now they have changed to a shift system. Two people use a fishing net and take turns fishing at the same place. When one of them is fishing, the other
Just go to the shore to exercise and warm yourself by the fire, thereby minimizing the possibility of frostbite and ensuring that each of them is in relatively good condition during the shift and will not be so sluggish that fish can get in.
There was no time in the fishing net to react, and in the end the fish escaped in vain.
At the same time, in terms of food, Luo Ji also made some slight changes. The original barbecue and grilled fish were all cancelled, and all were stewed. The reason is very simple. When food is insufficient, soupy and watery food is more likely to bloat the stomach. This
It may not make you full, but two bowls of soup will at least make your stomach full, and more importantly, it can reduce food consumption.
Fortunately, most people in this era are accustomed to hardship, and they are also aware of the difficulties faced by the tribe during this period. They are not too dissatisfied with this soupy food. This made Luo Ji feel a little relieved, but
But it didn't make him happy, because he knew very well that doing so was a last resort and not a solution.
The flaw of his approach was quickly exposed. Just one day later, the fourth day after the temperature dropped sharply, three more people fell down from exhaustion. At the same time, one of the sick tribe members became seriously ill because of the worsening of the condition.
passed away...
This situation undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Luo Ji. Even if he had been mentally prepared, it was useless. At the moment when the incident actually happened, he still felt a little shaken in his heart, "Did I make the wrong decision before?"
?No, that’s right! If you don’t do this, there won’t be enough food for everyone every day!”
At this time, he clearly realized that this was the pressure he had to bear as the leader of the tribe. With this pressure, Luo Ji devoted almost all the manpower in the tribe to obtaining food and coal. By the fifth
God, after a night's rest, the three people who had collapsed from exhaustion seemed to have regained some energy and returned to work. This made Luo Ji feel a little relieved.
On the sixth day, two more people in the tribe fell ill, but their condition was not serious. Just as a precaution, Luo Ji asked the two people to put down their work temporarily and take a good rest.
On the seventh day, one of the five patients' condition worsened significantly. There was no trace of blood on the patient's face. He said that he had difficulty breathing. He coughed violently as if he was coughing out his lungs. He saw
I feel like dying.
On the eighth day, after a night of mental struggle, Luo Ji decided to further isolate the patient whose condition had worsened. He even began to worry about whether the people who delivered water and food would be infected by the patient. This thought made him worried.
He was mentally tortured.
On the ninth day, the patient whose condition worsened failed to survive. He died in the tent in the early morning of that day. However, this was just the beginning. Bad news came one after another. An old hunter in the hunting team was chasing a tiger.
When the roe deer was hunting, he lost his footing and rolled down the hill. His feet were sprained, and he might not be able to participate in hunting for a while. This would undoubtedly make things worse for the Mingjing tribe, which was gradually running out of food.
On the tenth day, the person who was responsible for delivering water and food to the patient was unfortunately infected. At the same time, a member of the fishing team fell into the ice hole due to fatigue. We were unable to rescue him. Recently
People kept getting tired, everyone was hungry and tired, and the situation became worse and worse.
On the eleventh day, another group of uninvited guests broke in from outside the tribe. Luo Ji led his soldiers to leave the uninvited guests in the woods forever. During the battle, one soldier was accidentally injured. Fortunately, he was injured.
Not heavy.
On the twelfth day, the cooling seemed to have stopped, but there was no upward trend. The atmosphere in the tribe was much more solemn than at the beginning. Many people began to panic, and an uneasy atmosphere spread among them...
On the thirteenth day, the two previous patients were cured. This was definitely the most beautiful sentence Luo Ji had heard in the past half month, which made him ecstatic.
On the fourteenth day, a ray of sunshine penetrated through the thick clouds and shone down. Unlike before, Luo Ji could swear to God that he felt a ray of warmth. The temperature was rising. In any case, it had been gloomy for nearly half a month.
