Other than the few men who volunteered, they were still missing several men before being able to meet their quota of fifty men.
Of course, no one was willing to volunteer for something that they felt had a high chance of them dying. After all, all the men in the village had their families to worry about, so none of them were willing to leave them.
Out of fairness, the village chief decided that they would do a drawing for the few spots that would be left out of their quota.
Each family would be given one ballot and if their ballot was chosen, they would be required to send someone as part of the quota.
Of course, families that didn't have adult men or were already sending someone because they had volunteered were excluded from this drawing.
In the end, the rest of the thirty were chosen, including Qiao Qiao's big brother Qiao Man.
On the day that they were heading off, everyone's eyes were filled with tears, especially Qiao Qiao.
