Luo Jianguo was very happy during this period. His son was about to get married and his daughter was admitted to university. It can be said that Luo Jianguo felt that he had lived a happy life until now.
During this time, Luo Jianguo has been busy preparing for his son's wedding.
According to local customs, if a wedding is usually held in your own yard with the help of neighbors, the wedding will be a success.
It would be more expensive to go to a hotel, and the food wouldn't be as good, and it wouldn't be as lively as a wedding at home, so after discussing it with his son, Luo Jianguo decided to hold a wedding in his own yard.
It was originally a very happy thing, and all kinds of things were arranged.
The invitations had been sent out more than half a month ago. Recently, Luo Jianguo contacted the drum band, the emcee, and the wedding company that arranged the wedding.
The team also found 12 Audi A6s, which was enough for their son’s wedding.
But the weather has been getting hotter and hotter these two days, and for some reason there is always a smell coming from my yard.
Luo Jianguo searched for the smell in his yard for several days but couldn't find it. The source was a person who would occasionally smell a stench, which he couldn't stand.
At first, Luo Jianguo thought it was coming from his neighbor's house, but his neighbors looked around and found nothing.
This afternoon Luo Jianguo and his son started wandering around in their yard again.
"Dad, where does this smell come from? Our family doesn't raise any livestock, and the third brother next door doesn't have any livestock either. The 200 family raises a cow, but it doesn't smell bad even if it's tied up in the back. ”
Luo Jianguo's son Luo Xiaofeng followed his father around the yard, and when he was in the corner, he smelled another foul smell.
But the smell came and went quickly. Although it was nauseating, the source could never be found.
Although Luo Jianguo's yard is quite large, it is still relatively spacious at first glance.
He also smelled the stench just now.
The smell is very strong. If we don't find and clean it up, when the wedding is held in a few days, such a smell will come from the banquet, and everyone will be fumigated.
"There is no way to dig up the yard directly. I feel like this thing floats out from the ground. Every time we walk to this corner, there is this smell."
Luo Jianguo has walked around the yard more than 100 times in the past few days, and he has a general feeling about the specific location where the odor is generated.
It's right at the corner near the gate.
"There's nothing in this corner. It's clean. We haven't buried anything in this corner before. How can it smell bad?"
Luo Xiaofeng squatted in this corner and observed carefully, but found nothing special.
Suddenly, a foul smell came out of nowhere.
Luo Xiaofeng pointed to the corner of the wall: "Oh, it's just that another smell came out just now. It feels like it came from here."
The courtyard in Luo Jian's country is all paved with red bricks, so it looks very clean and tidy. The father and son decided to dig out this corner, and they first had to lift up all the bricks.
Since they didn't know exactly where it was, the father and son started cleaning up from the corner of the wall bit by bit.
Someone passing by saw the father and son prying red bricks in the yard. "Lao Luo?"
Uncle Wang next door came over: "What are you doing? Aren't you going to have a wedding in two days? Why did you pry open the yard?"
When Luo Jianguo saw that it was his neighbor coming over, he didn't hide it.
"The weather has been hot these days. I don't know what's going on. There's always a smell coming from the yard. I've been looking for it for a long time in the past two days but I can't find it. Where does this smell come from? Today I met Xiaofeng. Walking around the yard, I always feel that this smell comes from this corner.”
Uncle Wang was slightly startled. He actually smelled the smell, but he never knew where it came from. In the past few days, he had been wandering around his yard for a long time.
"I thought I was the only one who smelled this smell. When I went out in the past two days, I also smelled the smell at the gate. I thought it was because of our cattle raising."
The two families are neighbors and share a courtyard wall. One door opens on the left and the other opens on the right. Although this corner is in Luo Jian's country, Uncle Wang can sometimes smell it. .
"Come on, second brother came over to help. I thought it was just our family that smelled it. It turns out you smelled it too. In the past two days, I was wondering if it was the cow your family raised, but it was definitely not that cow. I put it in the back, and it doesn’t smell bad anymore. Zhang San’s house next door doesn’t feed anything and it doesn’t smell.”
Luo Jianguo said as he and his son peeled away the red bricks.
"Okay, just wait for me for a while. I'll go back and get the shovel. This thing seems to have to be dug up. Is there something buried under the ground? Wait for me for a while and I'll be right over."
Within a few minutes, Wang Erbo came over from the next door with a shovel, and the three of them moved a lot faster together. After a while, the floor tiles in the corner of the wall were no longer warped.
At the same time, the pungent stench became more and more frequent. Several people knew that they must be looking for the stench in the right place, emanating from this corner.
"I think this is where we need to dig underground first. I feel that the stench is coming from here."
Uncle Wang pointed to a piece of wet land and said.
Luo Jianguo and his son also nodded.
Because after digging out a large area of floor tiles, we found that the soil near the right corner of the wall was a little moist, unlike the other places where the soil was completely dry.
Moreover, Luo Jianguo lowered his head and smelled the pungent stench, which seemed to be emanating from here. The smell almost made him faint.
After determining the specific location, the three men took pickaxes and shovels and started digging.
"How is it possible that something is buried in this yard? It shouldn't be. This place hasn't been touched for many years. Or are the floor tiles of the yard that were laid more than ten years ago and haven't been touched for these years."
< br>
Luo Jianguo was quite puzzled. It felt like something was buried in his yard.
"Who knows, maybe it was done before. Let's dig down first and see if there's anything there."
bump!
As a result, Luo Xiaofeng made a jingling sound when he knocked it.
"Dad...there is something!"
The three people hurried to the location where Luo Xiaofeng was digging and dug out a small amount of soil. After a while, a pottery round shape appeared.
"This is...a wine vat?" (End of Chapter)
