Chapter 48 Variables and Contingencies
Looking at the members of the tribe who had been working hard, Luo Ji let out a long breath and sat down by the fire. Next, he should think about what happened next. The situation yesterday made him completely feel what it is called Unpredictable circumstances, his original plan was beaten into chaos.
How long will this cold weather last? Will anyone in the tribe get sick? After changing to three meals a day, can the food supply be sustained? Can the mining of coal make up for the daily consumption?
I don't know I don't know I don't know! There were too many things he didn't know waiting for him to confirm, waiting for him to find out, but at this moment, Luo Ji, who was sitting by the fire, only felt that he was groggy, his mind was blank, and he was almost stagnant. Thinking, and even the expression became a little trance.
This bad state caused a tinge in his heart, "Damn, isn't it? Is it me who is sick?"
With this thought rising, Luo Ji only felt that his whole heart skipped a beat, and hurriedly drank another bowl of hot water, then called Luo Yong and Zhao Pan over, "I need to rest for a while now, you guys. The two of you should pay more attention to the situation in the tribe, and don't let your guard down, you two can discuss some things and decide, if you can't decide, just wake me up."
"Understood! Patriarch, rest well." Zhao Pan's heart sank slightly when he looked at Luo Ji, whose face was a little pale. At this moment, he clearly realized that he had to do something. When Luo Ji left the tribe, he sent the tribe to him. It was different when the safety was handed over to him. This time, it was Zhao Pan who took the initiative to put this heavy burden on his shoulders!
"Zhao Pan, should he be the patriarch..." Looking at Luo Ji who turned around and got into the tent to rest, Luo Yong's slightly uneasy voice rang out. However, Zhao Pan was only halfway through saying this. Forcibly interrupt.
"The patriarch was just too tired because of the sudden situation last night, so he didn't sleep well. Now he needs to sleep and rest, understand?" In one sentence, Zhao Pan said decisively, and his tone was full of indulgence, as if changed person.
At that moment, as the first warrior of the tribe, when facing the opponent he could bring down with one hand in front of him, there was a feeling of inability to resist in his heart, and then he nodded dumbly. nod.
"Go ahead and let the other twelve warriors be divided into four groups of three, two warriors in each group, and a slinger, to patrol the area near the tribe, this change in weather is likely to force the people of other tribes We will not be careless.” When Luo Ji was not in the tribe before, Zhao Pan was a general defender of the city, and now he is not unfamiliar in commanding, invisibly It revealed a general style.
Although Luo Yong is the first warrior, he is not good at commanding and dispatching. Coupled with the joint training some time ago, the eighteen warriors in the tribe have become brothers who share weal and woe, and naturally they will not dance at this time. When I came out to question Zhao Pan's command, the only question was, "What about me? What am I doing? Everyone went to patrol..."
"You stay in the tribe, on the one hand, to protect the safety of the patriarch, on the other hand..." While speaking, Zhao Pan glanced around, "As the first warrior of the tribe, if you stay in the camp, everyone can feel at ease. Also, if other people ask about the patriarch, just say what I said before, understand?"
"Okay, I understand."
"What did I say before?"
"The patriarch was too tired because of the sudden situation last night and didn't sleep well, so he is sleeping and resting now."
"Well, that's all!" After instructing Rayong, Zhao Pan got up and walked out of the camp. As he walked, he calmly adjusted his breathing and eased his unease. What was Rayong thinking at the time, he Of course he knew it, but what he knew more clearly was that this kind of idea or similar rumors must not spread in the tribe. Everyone just suffered from the sudden change in temperature last night, and everyone was a little panicked. At this juncture, the patriarch may be sick. Once the news spreads, the consequences are unimaginable.
As a person of this era, Zhao Pan knows the horror of disease better than anyone else. It is rude to say that in their era, disease is often equated with death, so the pressure he is under at this moment is a certain amount. How big doesn't need to be said at all.
He can't stay in the tribal camp, he's a little worried that he won't be able to withstand the pressure, and then exposed in the tribe, he has to divert his attention and find himself something to do.
With this thought in mind, he planned to go to the lake to have a look. The temperature suddenly dropped too much. He was a little worried that the members of the fishing team would be unable to bear the long-term fishing on the ice.
After turning around, everyone was in a good condition, which made Zhao Pan a little relieved, and then went to the farmland to take a look, and tirelessly told everyone to pay attention to their physical condition.
By the time he walked back to the camp, it was almost noon. Luo Jin, who was running back and forth between the Mingjing tribe and the Heiyan tribe, had already returned with news and was about to report the situation to Luo Ji, but was guarded by the fire outside. Rayong stopped him.
Luo Jin frowned slightly, "I have something to report to the patriarch."
"The patriarch is resting." Before Luo Yong could speak, Zhao Pan's voice sounded from behind Luo Jin.
He subconsciously looked back at Zhao Pan, who had no expression on his face. Luo Jin's eyebrows could not help but wrinkle even tighter. He was also a person whose intelligence limit reached four stars. His brain was not stupid at all. This morning, Luo Ji's slightly pale face appeared, and he panicked immediately, and then he quickly lowered his voice and asked Zhao Pan, "Tell me the truth, is the patriarch sick?"
Hearing this, Zhao Pan gave Luo Jin a deep look, and then repeated what he said before, "The patriarch is resting."
A flash of understanding flashed in Luo Jin's eyes, then he took a deep breath, walked to the side of the fire in two steps and sat down.
Zhao Pan, who saw this scene in his eyes, this time it was him who took the initiative to speak, "What's going on with the Black Rock Tribe, you can tell me that the patriarch gave me part of the decision-making power before taking a break. and Rayong."
Hearing this, Luo Jin glanced at Luo Yong subconsciously, Luo Yong nodded, and Luo Jin, who got the answer, once again turned his attention to Zhao Pan.
It was said before that he and Luo Yong were considered young. Wouldn't he know how much ink Luo Yong had in his mind? What decision can Rayong make? To put it bluntly, the reason why the patriarch brought Luo Yong was to add convincing power to Zhao Pan's decision, which means that the person who really made the decision now is actually Zhao Pan.
However, he did not deny that, in comparison, Zhao Pan's character is indeed calm enough, and he is a person who knows how to do things. Thinking of this, Luo Jin slowly said, "There is an accident in the Black Rock tribe... "
