Hemp Oak Tree

About This Novel
The oak tree was cut down by village accountant Liu Zhu. The tall oak tree trunk was sawed into three pieces, and each piece was pulled by two mules, dragging three strands of yellow dust down from the post. When the mule team passed the gate of the primary school, the accountant Liu Zhu, who was huddled in a crowd, stopped and said to her: Cut it down, the village chief has long wanted to use it as a longevity material. Feng Guomei didn't say anything. She thought Liu Zhu's facial features were funny. He had a shiny and big head. Why were his facial features so crowded? When the last section of the tree trunk pulled by the two mules was dragged past Feng Guomei's eyes, she suddenly saw the familiar line of characters on the trunk. The strokes of the characters had been patinated and deformed, but she could still vaguely make out: How far is it from Niutouba to Korla. She thought that as a complete sentence, there should be a question mark after this line.
