Talent was everything.
If they abandoned more people because they feared too many mouths would consume food too quickly, then one day, they would end up trapped to death in this city.
Because by then, they would no longer have enough manpower to work or farm.
Soon, the soldiers received their orders and lowered a two-person-wide bamboo basket tied with thick hemp ropes from the city wall.
A soldier leaned over the wall and called out, "Get into the basket one at a time. We'll pull you up, one person per trip."
