The Woman under the Old Elm Tree (novella)
by Xue Xijun
About This Novel
A heavy fog rose right under Lu Lihua's eyes. In other words, Lu Lihua witnessed with her own eyes how the fog changed from thin to thick and became too thick to be dissolved. In the first half of the night, Lu Lihua sat on the kang and looked at the old elm trees. As she looked, the old elm trees became less clear, as if they were covered with a layer of gauze. Lu Lihua rubbed her eyes, and the old elm tree was still disappearing little by little into the white gauze. "You, you are so naughty, are you playing hide and seek with me? You still have a sweetheart, and you want to abandon me?" At this time, Lu Lihua had not realized that it was foggy, and she was still complaining about the old elm tree in a soft voice. Lu Lihua didn't come back to her senses until she could no longer see the old elm tree. She pressed her face against the glass window, not to mention looking at the stars in the sky. Even Chang Xingming's dilapidated bicycle locked under the window was indistinct. Only then did Lu Lihua realize that it was foggy. The heavy fog swallowed up the old elm trees and drowned Lu Lihua's troubled thoughts in a distant place.
