Pang Wenzi 
Selected Works of Pang Wenzi”s Novellas 

As soon as the sun was still high, the chimneys of every house began to smoke. The chimney of this family was smoking indicated that the family was still there, and the chimney of that family was not smoking showed that the family has gone. When Xu Daoran was walking around the village, he carefully observed whose chimney was smoking, as if he were in charge of the smoke coming from the chimney. It was a good village, but people went away suddenly, like a swarm of bees to the city. Most of the people left over were the useless, the old and the weak, becoming the valueless donkey dung eggs in doggerels. The families that had a lot of immovable property to take care of did not go. But who knew which day they would go. Rich families loved busy places.
