32 An empty joy(1/2)

Yunxi squeezed inside, walked to the front, and asked a familiar lady.

"Auntie, what happened? What are you looking at here?"

The aunt looked at Yun Xi coming and said:

"Yunxi, your family dug out a treasure jar. There is probably a treasure hidden in it. Your family is going to distribute it."

Yun Xi asked in surprise:

"Really?"

Hearing this, Yun Xi didn't believe it. Normally, these aunts and uncles would listen to the wind and speak a little exaggeratedly. They knew the situation of their own family, so how could they get rich in a short time.

Yun Xi walked into the courtyard and saw a bunch of people gathered around the courtyard.

The excavators stopped working and stopped, and the uncles and uncles who were watching the excitement gathered around.

There was a porcelain jar in the yard. It was dark, round in shape, and of a regular length, about 50 centimeters by 50 centimeters. It had a matching lid and was sealed with a thick layer of soil.

This was when digging the sewer pipe. It was dug out with a shovel. Thanks to the skill of the excavator master, it was not broken.

After digging out, the excavator master notified Yun Shouye and Li Huimei.

Call the two men over and stare at the jar to see what it is.

Yun Shouye was also a little confused. Three generations of his family were poor, and no one with money could actually dig something like this in the yard.

Li Huimei looked even more confused. She didn't expect there was such a thing in the yard. What was it?

Everyone in the village was also very curious and wanted to know what this thing was or what was contained here. The onlookers, men, women, old and young, were all looking at this thing for a while.

Yunxi originally wanted to squeeze in to see what was going on, but there were too many people and he couldn't get in. Outside, he heard the uncles saying one by one:

"This thing, look at the color, tsk tsk tsk."

"I think this is a good thing. Just this jar, I don't know what era it is from."

"I guess there might be something great in here."

"Watching the treasure hunt programs on TV, the jars from last year were all like this."

"I guess, this might be a good thing."

"Wow, if there is gold in the jar, the Yun family will simply win, hahaha."

The other lady stared at the jar and said slowly:

"Looking at the color of this jar, I think it might have been left behind by a wealthy landowner from the past."

Another aunt also quickly continued:

"It is estimated that the things that were stored away by the old landlord in the past may have been left here after the person died."

Another uncle retorted:

"The rich landlord is not stupid, how could he leave the gold and silver treasure without telling the juniors to come and get it, and wait for others to come and take it for nothing?"

The aunt also retorted:

"It was a matter of survival at that time. Who could care so much? This yard is occupied by someone else. Even if he knew it, he wouldn't dare to tell him. If he found it, he would confiscate it and continue to educate him."

"Yes, that's why I can stay."

Some people also helped.

Another younger aunt said:

"I think Brother Shouye should take such a valuable thing to the city and find an expert to take a look at it."

The aunt’s husband stood nearby and also said:

"You are a woman, what do you know? Brother Shouye doesn't know much better than us. Don't come up with blind ideas."

An old man took a puff of cigarette and exhaled the smoke and said:

"This thing, it doesn't look like it's too old. It looks like this, and it's almost like an object in our house when we were young."

After listening to everyone's analysis, Yun Shouye felt that the uncle's analysis was reasonable, so he asked:

"Uncle, what are you talking about..."

When Yun Shouye said this, he was too embarrassed to ask. The treasures to be packed here were really gold and silver. With so many villagers, people would gossip a lot from now on.

At this time the uncle said:

"This thing has a scent, do you smell it?"

"no."

"Did you smell it?"

"no taste."

The people onlookers commented that they didn't smell any fragrance, and they all asked each other about the people around them.

The uncle said:

"If you smell it carefully, there is a faint fragrance."

As soon as these words came out, Yun Xi, who was standing behind, was also very curious about that faint fragrance and what kind of fragrance it was. This damn curiosity caused trouble, and Yun Xi couldn't help but try to smell the fragrance.

But Yun Xi forgot that she was standing at the very back, and the people crowded in front of her were all uncles and men. The lethality was so devastating that they could destroy everyone.

Yunxi exerted all her energy and unleashed her inner strength. She exerted a little effort and took a whiff with her nose. The smell was so mind-boggling that it was unforgettable. What hit her face was sweat, smoke and an indescribable smell.

‘Oh!’ This was so painful.

Yun Xi's facial features were squeezed together, and the smell was worse than swallowing a mouthful of raw mustard.

Yun Xi quickly turned around and took a deep breath, almost fainting on the spot.

At this time, Yun Shouye thought, since it was dug out anyway, he might as well open it and have a look. Yun Shouye was very curious as to what it was, whether it was gold or silver or not, he might as well open it and have a look.

If it is not opened, people in the village may later spread the rumor that Yun Shouye dug out the jade seal, and maybe some people will believe it.

People's words are scary. After thinking about it for a long time, Yun Shouye decided to open it up.

Yun Shouye said:

"I'll open it and take a look. Let's see what's in here."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone said:

"Okay, open it and see what's there."

After finishing speaking, Yun Shouye lifted the jar, placed it on a flat place, and wiped off the soil on it.

Everyone onlookers watched nervously, staring at the jar, wanting to know what was inside.

Yun Shouye slowly knocked off the soil on the sealing layer with a hammer, tapping gently, fearing that the porcelain jar would be damaged, so he knocked off the soil bit by bit. After the soil was gone, the fragrance slowly came out.

The people around said:

"Oh! This fragrance is so strong."

"Yes, I just opened the seal and smelled it."

Yun Shouye slowly removed the lid, and people's eyes were all around the jar. They got very close, intending to see what was inside, but the first thing they excluded was the gold and silver treasures.

Because such a strange fragrance cannot be gold or silver, it is probably something else.

"It tastes like Chenxiang."

"It seems so."

"It smells weird, this smell."

People who smelled it began to describe the fragrance.

Standing in the back of Yunxi, you can smell the bursts of fragrance without having to smell it specially. The smell is really strong.

Yun Shouye took off the lid in full view of everyone. Everyone smelled the fragrance and didn't expect it to be gold or silver.

The moment the jar was exposed to light, everyone was paying attention to what was in the jar. It was dark and they couldn't see clearly what it was, but they could smell the bursts of strange fragrance.

"This smells better."

"It smells really good."

Suddenly, everyone around could smell the fragrance.

Yun Shouye reached into the jar to dig out, and touched something hard. As soon as Yun Shouye took it out, the people around said:

"It turns out to be tangerine peel."

"I thought it was some kind of treasure."

"The ancestors of the Yun family are a bit funny. Other families leave gold and silver Yuan Datou to their descendants, but their family is better off with a big jar of tangerine peel."

"This is probably because the descendants will not have anything to soak in water and drink. Our ancestors have prepared enough for them."

"······"

When they saw what they had taken out, everyone was babbling and talking. Then Li Huimei said:
To be continued...
