Chapter 94.1
That night, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran stayed in the middle-aged man’s home.
Through chatting with the middle-aged man, Feng Shao got a general understanding of the situation in the village.
The ancestors of the villagers fled from the east. Seeing the beautiful mountains, clear waters, and abundant products in this place, they decided to settle here. That happened more than two hundred years ago.
As for why no one lived here more than 200 years ago…
The reason was also very simple. An occasional extremely serious famine year would leave the local area with thousands of miles of desolate land, causing starvation everywhere.
Such an extreme year of famine may only occur once in a few hundred years, but it is enough to wipe out a large area or force the indigenous people to migrate.
In many places, people are welcomed and sent off in this way. A group of people would leave and a group of people would come.
The first people to come to this village were three families named Qin, Huang, and Zhou. After more than two hundred years of development, the three families intermarried and gradually multiplied into the current fifteen families with more than seventy people.
Although there are beautiful mountains and clear waters here, it is relatively remote and the supplies are relatively simple. With caravans passing by from time to time, some supplies can be exchanged, but in general, the people here are still relatively poor.
