"It's time to eat!"
Across the Feiyu River, at the shout of a Warrior from the Vine Tribe, over five hundred captives who were working dropped their tools and rushed towards the eating area.
These captives were assigned various tasks: cutting trees to build houses, reclaiming land to plant grains and vegetables, digging ditches, paving roads, gathering wild vegetables...
The work was not easy; though not life-threatening, it was even more exhausting than hunting.
Initially, the captives all had various thoughts.
But after a day's hard labor, their stomachs were empty, their minds were blank, and they only wanted to fill their bellies quickly and take a good rest.
"Each person gets a bowl and a pair of chopsticks. No snatching, and no grabbing food with your hands. Otherwise, don't expect to eat tonight."
Jing Jie stood before the captives and, in a rather blunt manner, made them line up, then handed out bowls and chopsticks, personally serving them food.
