Despite being a naked man like the natives, his skin color and physique were different from the indigenous people, and he bore the marks of being whipped.
Even though they worked together, he, as a "civilized man," not only failed to earn respect from the natives who lost their awe, but was also often excluded.
If Chen Zhou hadn't instructed before sleeping that he shouldn't die too early, receiving some care on Sunday and Saturday, he might have been further harmed by the natives.

Seeing the situation somewhat stable, Chen Zhou felt slightly relieved.
However, for safety's sake, he still called for Saturday and asked carefully if there had been any trouble and how the natives were behaving.
The results were quite satisfactory.
At least on the morning of the second day after being captured, the natives appeared tame and obedient, speaking little beyond working and learning.
Of course, although the natives seemed well-behaved at the moment, they were forced to "listen."
