Chapter 708 Zhao Qian Sun Li
Qin Feng found that if the old man was allowed to continue talking, he might never get an answer, so he simply asked a few questions straight to the point, and maybe he could know where he was.

"Three Realms Mountain is in Three Realms Mountain, it has nothing to do with Yungui."

The old man was a little dazed by Qin Feng's series of questions, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The Yungui you mentioned, I seem to have heard it mentioned by the elders, but it must have nothing to do with us..."

"Then what year is it now?" Unable to get the answer to the first question, Qin Feng asked a little unwillingly: "Do you use the lunar calendar or the Gregorian calendar?"

"When I was young, I used the lunar calendar, but I changed it later." After hearing Qin Feng's words, the old man said with a smile: "Now I use the Gregorian calendar. I figured out what year it should be..."

After counting with his fingers for a while, the old man raised his head and said, "I am 66 this year, by the way, this year should be the year 2000 of the Gregorian calendar, yes, it is the year 2000 of the Gregorian calendar..."

The old man smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "We peasants seldom pay attention to these things, but Qin Feng made you laugh..."

"Is it really the year 2000 in the Gregorian calendar?"

The old man's words were like fine nectar and jade dew, and Qin Feng felt refreshed from the sweat pores all over his body. He dared to say that he hadn't traveled back decades, but was still in his own time and space.

"Of course it's true. I'm 66 this year. I was born in..."

For fear that Qin Feng would not believe it, the old man snapped his fingers and counted again for Qin Feng, and finally said: "If I remember correctly, it should be the 88 of the Republic of China."

"What? In 88?"

Qin Feng's face, which was originally full of smiles, became stiff in an instant. It has been 50 years since liberation. Why is the Republic of China still used to calculate the year in this old population?

"It was in 88, why, is there something wrong?"

Seeing Qin Feng's stunned face, the old man was a little baffled, turned around and walked into the room, took out a somewhat yellowed book, and said: "When I was young, there was such a brochure that said it was to reform the Republic of China. Well, until now, I don't know what's going on outside..."

"Three People's Principles?" Looking at the few people in the brochure, Qin Feng almost didn't get it right, he flipped through it casually, and it really was Sun Dapao's set.

"Old man, the Republic of China has long since disappeared. New China was established 50 years ago. Don't you know?"

Qin Feng is not panicked, maybe this is a tribe living in a hundred thousand mountains, and it may not have intersected with the outside world for a hundred years, so he doesn't know what happened outside.

"We haven't interacted with the outside world for five or sixty years."

The old man suddenly gasped, looked at Qin Feng like a monster, and his voice became trembling, "You... how do you know these things outside? Difficult... Could it be that you came from outside?"

"I'm from outside..."

Qin Feng didn't know why and said: "Old man, the outside world has changed a lot. I don't think you need to stay in the mountains. You can go out and take a look..."

"You...you really came from outside!" The old man even trembled slightly this time, obviously this question touched him a lot.

"Yeah..." Qin Feng nodded and said: "Old man, didn't I say that after encountering a shipwreck, you wake up here..."

"Shipwreck...shipwreck, I should have thought of it long ago!"

The old man suddenly slapped his thigh, then glanced left and right, pulled Qin Feng into the room, and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk in the room..."

"What kind of thing is this?" Seeing the mysterious and nervous look of the old man, Qin Feng was a little confused. Could it be that the rules here do not welcome outsiders?
"Qin...Qin Feng, what does the outside world look like?" After entering the room, the old man asked.

"The technology outside is very advanced now. As early as decades ago, astronauts went into space and landed on the moon. Our country has long since had no wars, and now it has become stronger and stronger..."

Qin Feng can see that this place should have lost contact with the outside world since the 30s, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to live this kind of life without any technological content, completely isolated from the world.

"No more wars, no more wars at last?"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, the old man suddenly shed tears and murmured: "Ancestors, have you heard that the war is finally over, there is no more war outside, but...but we can't go back ..."

"Old man, did you hide here during the war?"

Qin Feng frowned slightly, and said: "Now that the war is over, let's just go out. I believe the local government will arrange you well. Why do you say you can't go back?"

Qin Feng has roughly guessed the situation here. If he guessed correctly, the people here should have fled here to avoid the melee of warlords. This situation is not uncommon in Chinese history.

When Tao Yuanming wrote "Peach Blossom Spring", many people thought it was just an article enshrining Tao Yuanming's good wishes, but it was not.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the period with the most frequent regime changes in Chinese history.

Due to the long-term feudal separatism and continuous wars, the people have no means of living. Many people fled to the mountains with their families. They lived in the mountains for hundreds of years without knowing the years in the world.

The "Peach Blossom Spring" written by Tao Yuanming was written after hearing that some people had walked out of the mountains, and it was not completely fabricated.

Even in modern times, such things happened. Some time ago, Qin Feng saw such a news.

It was a father and son living in Myanmar. In the 40s, in order to avoid the Japanese, the whole family moved to the Devil Mountain in Myanmar. They lived for 50 to [-] years. By the time they came out, the world had already turned upside down. The change.

So when Qin Feng thought about it, the situation here should be the same. He came here to escape the war. Now that the war is over, he can go out to live again.

"It's hard to come in, and it's even harder to go back..."

The old man suddenly looked at Qin Feng with some pity, and said: "Young man, we are not what you think, we hid here seven or eighty years ago, we came here earlier than you imagined... ..."

"Didn't you come here when the warlords were fighting?" Qin Feng frowned and said, "Then you are survivors of the Ming Dynasty, and you didn't want to cut your hair and change your clothes, so you hid in this deep mountain?"

Qin Feng is familiar with history. Among the dynasties in China, only the Qing Dynasty people ruled the orthodox Han people as a foreign race.

Therefore, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and pacified the world, many people from the pre-Ming Dynasty were unwilling to accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and they hid in the mountains and became survivors of the former dynasty.

Of course, these people are not completely isolated from the world, and they will go out from time to time to exchange some information and daily items with outsiders. Qin Feng just doesn't understand why the old man said he can't go back?
"We came here earlier than you said."

The old man sighed and said: "The ancestors did escape here to avoid the chaos of war. They used to go out to get some news from the outside world, but just a few decades ago, the road to the outside world was cut off. ..."

"Cutting it off? This...what the hell is going on?" After hearing the old man's words, Qin Feng couldn't help being startled, he came to this place strangely, don't really be unable to go out.

"I'm not very clear about this. Only the five major families know about these things."

The old man shook his head. He only knew some secrets when he lived long enough. As for the young people who live now, they don't know these things at all.

"Which five big families?" Qin Feng asked.

"Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Qin!"

The old man said: "The surname Qin is the family that has lived here the longest and is also the most powerful. I heard that their surname was Ying earlier, and they were descendants of the First Emperor. Later, the Liu family took over the world, so they changed their surname to Qin..."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help looking at Qin Feng, and said: "Your surname is also Qin, does it have something to do with the Qin family? But the Qin family has been here for thousands of years, with countless branches, not the main line, the surname is Qin Feng. Qin is useless..."

"I'm afraid I have nothing to do with your Qin family here."

Qin Feng shook his head, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, and Li are all listed among the five great families, you... did you come here during the Yuan Dynasty?"

Qin Feng liked to read history books when he was a child. Later, due to professional reasons, he was almost obsessed with history. When he heard the surnames of Zhao Qian, Sun Li, the four initial surnames, he immediately understood.

The Yuan Dynasty mentioned by Qin Feng was the period when the Mongol Empire ruled the Central Plains.

Although the Mongols ruled China from the surrender of the Southern Song Dynasty in 1276 to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in 1368, there were only 92 years in total, but in less than a hundred years, they staged a tragedy that nearly wiped out the Chinese lineage.

At that time, when the Mongol Empire ruled, there was a price for killing a Han Chinese just to accompany a donkey, and the first night of the new daughter-in-law in the Han village must be given to the Mongolian guardian. Therefore, at that time, many Han people often gave birth to their firstborn in order to ensure bloodlines. The sons and daughters born drowned alive.

In that dark period, the Chinese were not even allowed to have names, most of them were named after the date of birth, they were not allowed to own weapons, and only several families could share a kitchen knife!

The number of Mongols is not very large. In order to strengthen their rule, they began to slaughter wantonly. The first to bear the brunt are the four major surnames of the Han people: Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li!

At that time, the Mongols set up checkpoints in various places. As long as people passing by had these four surnames, they would be pulled to the side of the road and killed.

The Yuan Dynasty ruled China for more than 90 years, and the population of the Han nationality dropped from 8000 million to 3000 million, which was the lowest point of China's population after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Although Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li are common surnames in later generations, there is no reason why they are much more common than other surnames. It is precisely because of the massacre that, on the contrary, surnames such as Zhang and Wang are more common in society now.

So as soon as Qin Feng heard that there were the four major clans of "Zhao Qian, Sun Li" and combined with the fact that they fled here to escape the war, he immediately guessed their origin.
