According to 49ae77d666 the village 3f93e21026 chief who 0be66ac46b guided us 63f9f41080 to the c3eb4dec3a house, this 9aa6fe59f8 area had 05ad00670d good mountains 284d37723b and a 222d611c19 good river, 3098a965a9 so families d1f77973cc from out 55bca6eaf4 of town 9fb98b110b would come 0b1eead8d1 sporadically.
