Chapter 52 Funeral and Adjustment

Luo Ji didn't force anyone to attend Zhao He's funeral, but aside from the need to keep guarding the surrounding patrols and those from the Heiyan tribe who couldn't come back in time, the people from the Quanmingjing tribe still gathered at this moment. , Under this sad atmosphere, it may be better for everyone to stay together.

The funeral wasn't complicated. Luo Ji chose a simple cremation. After all, keeping the corpse would carry the risk of contagious diseases. No one came forward to question his decision. Right now, they don't have the idea that the corpse must be buried completely. It is estimated that in the future There will be no more.

After the corpse was burnt to ashes, Luo Ji motioned everyone to put the ashes into a small wooden box that could only be described as rough in workmanship, then a tombstone with his name on it, and an earthen bag with the ashes buried. This was Zhao He's final destination. .

However, what Luo Ji didn't expect was that his willful actions at this time had unexpected effects. The tribesmen who attended Zhao He's funeral did not indulge in grief, or even did not. If Luo Ji needed to say more, one by one, they had already regained their energy and threw themselves into their respective work.

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 being burned to ashes and then buried in the tomb, they may be sad or cry. , but also clearly realized that Zhao He's life has come to an end at this moment, with this funeral coming to an end, and their lives have to continue, through this funeral, everyone clearly realized this. .

The whole 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 and continue to recuperate. Instead, he used the spiritual support for all the fallen people to inspect the work in various places. Of course, in order to avoid his small His body fell ill again, and he wrapped two thick layers of animal skins on his body. The whole person looked extremely bloated, and even a little stupid, but he obviously wouldn't care about that.

In fact, they didn't have any good means of heating in this era. In addition to heating the fire and drinking soup, they just put on more clothes. However, even so, fishing on the ice all day can still make them freeze completely. , and even frostbite, and even the fishing efficiency has become lower.

To solve this problem, Luo Ji had no clever way to do it, so he could only use the stupidest way to make the women in the tribe keep boiling hot water, and at the same time cut the number of fishing nets in half.

Originally, each member of the fishing team worked full-time, but now it has been replaced by a shift system. Two people use a fishing net and take turns fishing at the same spot. One of them is fishing while the other is fishing. Just go to the shore to exercise and heat up, so as to minimize the possibility of them being frostbitten, and to ensure that each of them is in relatively good condition when they are on shift, so as not to be so slow that a fish gets in. There was no time to react in the fishing net, and finally the fish escaped in vain.

At the same time, in terms of food, Luo Ji also made some changes. The original grilled meat and grilled fish were all cancelled, and all soups were stewed. The reason is very simple. It may not make you full, but two bowls of soup will at least fill your stomach, and more importantly, it will reduce food consumption.

Fortunately, most people in this era are used to suffering, and at the same time they are aware of the difficulties of the tribe during this period. They are not too dissatisfied with this soup, which makes Luo Ji a little relieved, but But it didn't make him happy, because he knew very well that doing this was a last resort, and it was not a solution.

The flaws of his approach were quickly exposed. It was only one day after the temperature dropped, and three more people were tired. At the same time, one of the sick tribe members was sick because of the aggravation of his condition. passed away...

This situation undoubtedly gave Luo Ji a heavy blow, even if he was mentally prepared, it was useless. At the moment when the incident actually happened, his heart was still a little shaken, "Did I make a mistake in my previous decision? ? No, that's right! If you don't do this, there won't be enough food every day for everyone!"

At this time, he clearly realized that this was the pressure he had to bear as the patriarch. Under this pressure, Luo Ji devoted almost all the manpower in the tribe to the acquisition of food and coal. Days, after a night's rest, the three people who had been exhausted before seemed to have recovered some of their energy and returned to work, which made Luo Ji a little relieved.

On the sixth day, two more people in the tribe fell ill, but they were not seriously ill. Just in case, Luo Ji asked those two to temporarily stop their work and take a good rest.

On the seventh day, one of the five patients was significantly worsened. The patient's face was no longer bloody. He said that he had difficulty breathing, and he coughed violently as if to cough out his lungs. Up and dying.

On the eighth day, after a night of mental struggles, Luo Ji decided to further isolate the aggravated patient. He even began to worry about whether the people who went to deliver water and food would be infected by the patient. His spirit was tormented.

On the ninth day, the aggravated patient failed to survive. He died in the tent in the early morning of the day. However, this was only the beginning. Bad news came one after another. An old hunter in the hunting team was chasing one. When the roe deer stumbled and rolled down the hill, his feet were swollen, and he might not be able to participate in the hunting for a period of time afterward. This was undoubtedly worse for the Jingjing tribe, which was gradually running out of food.

On the tenth day, the person who was in charge of 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 exhaustion. We were not able to rescue him. Recently People kept getting tired, everyone was hungry and tired, and the situation got worse and worse.

On the eleventh day, another group of uninvited guests from outside the tribe broke in. Luo Ji led his soldiers to leave the uninvited guests in the woods forever. During the battle, one soldier was accidentally injured. Fortunately, the injured not heavy.

On the twelfth day, the cooling seemed to have stopped, but there was no tendency to pick up. The atmosphere in the tribe was much more dignified than at the beginning. Many people began to panic, and the uneasy atmosphere spread among them...

On the thirteenth day, the two previous patients had recovered. This was definitely the most beautiful sentence Luo Ji had heard in the past half a month, and he was ecstatic.

On the fourteenth day, a ray of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and shone down. Unlike before, Luo Ji could swear to the sky that he felt a touch of warmth, and the temperature was rising? Anyway, the sky that has been gloomy for nearly half a month has cleared up...
