Chapter 52: Funerals and Adjustments

Zhao He's funeral, Luo Ji did not force anyone to attend, but in addition to continuing to guard the surrounding patrols and those who were far away in the Black Rock Tribe who had no time to rush back, the people of the Quanmingjing tribe were still gathered together at this moment, and in this sad atmosphere, it might be better for everyone to stay together.

The funeral was not complicated, Luo Ji chose a simple cremation, after all, there would be a risk of infectious diseases if the body was kept, no one stood up to question his decision, and now they do not have the concept that the body must be buried completely, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future.

After the corpse was burned to ashes, Luo Ji motioned for everyone to put the ashes into a small wooden box that could only be said to be rough workmanship, and then a tombstone with a name written on it, and a dirt bag with the ashes buried, which was Zhao He's final destination.

However, what Luo Ji didn't expect was that his wayward actions at that time had an effect that he didn't expect, the tribesmen who participated in Zhao He's funeral did not indulge in grief too much, and they didn't even need Luo Ji to say anything, one by one they had already regained their spirits and directly devoted themselves to their respective work.

In fact, the reason is not complicated, because their emotions have been vented and released in the process of this whole funeral, when they see Zhao He's body burned to ashes and then buried in the grave, they may be sad, maybe weeping, but at the same time they are clearly aware that Zhao He's life has come to an end at this moment, with this funeral, and their lives will continue, through this funeral, everyone is clearly aware of this.

The whole tribe was running at high speed again, and Luo Ji, who had just recovered from a serious illness, did not choose to stay in his tent to continue to recuperate, but as the spiritual pillar of all the fallen people, patrolling the work everywhere, of course, in order to avoid his small body from getting sick again, he wrapped two layers of thick animal skins on his body, and the whole person looked extremely bloated, and even a little stupid, but he obviously didn't care about these.

In fact, there are no very good means of heating in their time, except for baking fire and drinking soup, they just wear more clothes, however, even so, staying on the ice all day to fish can still make them completely frozen, and even frostbite, and even the efficiency of fishing with them has become low.

Luo Ji didn't have any clever way to solve this problem, so he could only use the stupidest way to make the women in the tribe keep boiling hot water, and at the same time reduce the number of fishing nets by half.

Originally, each member of the fishing team worked all day, but now it has been replaced by a shift system, two people use a fishing net, take turns to fish in the same place, one of them is fishing, the other goes to the shore to move their bodies, bake the fire to keep warm, so as to minimize the possibility of them being frostbitten, and ensure that each of them is in relatively good condition during the shift, so that the body is not so sluggish that a fish into the fishing net has no time to react, and finally let the fish escape in vain.

At the same time, in terms of food, Luo Ji also made some changes, the original barbecue and grilled fish were all canceled, and all stewed soup, the reason is very simple, when the food is insufficient, the soup and water are more likely to bloate the stomach, which may not make you full, but two bowls of soup can at least make your stomach full, and more importantly, this can reduce food consumption.

Fortunately, most of the people in this era are used to suffering, and at the same time, they also know the difficulties of the tribe during this time, and they are not too dissatisfied with this soup and water, which makes Luo Ji a little relieved, but it does not make him happy, because he knows very well that this is a last resort, and it is not a way to do it.

The flaws of his approach were soon revealed, and only one day later, four days after the temperature plummeted, three more people collapsed from exhaustion, and one of the sick tribesmen died of his aggravated illness......

This situation undoubtedly gave Luo Ji a heavy blow, even if he was mentally prepared, it was useless, and at the moment when the incident actually happened, his heart was still a little shaken, "Was my previous decision wrong?" No, that's right! If you don't, you won't have enough food every day! ”

At this time, he was very clearly aware that this was the pressure he had to bear as the patriarch, and under this pressure, Luo Ji invested almost all the manpower in the tribe into the acquisition of food and coal, and on the fifth day, the three people who were tired before seemed to have recovered some of their spirits after a night's rest, and returned to work, which made Luo Ji breathe a sigh of relief.

And on the sixth day, two more people in the tribe fell ill, but the condition was not serious, just in case, Luo Ji asked those two to temporarily put down the work at hand and rest.

On the seventh day, one of the five patients was visibly worse, the patient no longer had a trace of blood on his face, he said that he was having trouble breathing, coughing violently as if he was about to cough out his lungs, and he looked like he was dying.

On the eighth day, after a night of mental struggle, Luo Ji decided to further isolate the sick patient, and he even began to worry about whether the people who went to deliver water and food would be infected by the patient, which made him mentally tormented.

On the ninth day, the sick man could not survive, he died in the tent in the early morning of this day, but this was only the beginning, the bad news came one after another, an old hunter in the hunting team fell down the hill while chasing a roe deer, his foot was broken, and he was afraid that he would not be able to participate in the hunt for a period of time, which was undoubtedly worse for the Spiegel tribe, which was gradually short of food.

On the tenth day, the person who was in charge of bringing water and food to the sick person was unfortunately infected, and at the same time, a member of the fishing team fell into an ice hole due to fatigue, and we could not save him.

On the eleventh day, another group of uninvited guests from outside the tribe broke in, Luo Ji led his soldiers to leave the group of uninvited guests in the woods forever, and during the battle, one of the soldiers was accidentally injured, but fortunately the injuries were not serious.

On the twelfth day, the temperature seemed to have stopped, but there was no upward trend, and the atmosphere in the tribe was much more solemn than at the beginning, and many people began to panic, and an atmosphere of uneasiness spread among them......

On the thirteenth day, the previous two patients were cured, which was definitely the most wonderful sentence Luo Ji had heard in the past half a month, which made him ecstatic.

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