I'd like to talk about an old house my father owns, located in a rather uninhabited area. We've visited this place for many years. It's situated near my uncle's house, about 10 kilometers from where I live now. We usually visit my uncle once a year, typically during the Spring Festival. This year, during the festival, we decided to check on the house, just to see if it was in good condition. When we opened the house, a strong, unpleasant smell hit us right away. We realized all the windows were closed, and there was a large spider on the wall. We went inside to inspect the place and discovered the smell was coming from a dead rat under the sofa. We moved the sofa and saw the decaying rat, covered in worms, emitting a foul odor. We hired someone to clean the house and used a lot of air freshener to get rid of the smell. I felt very disgusted by the place and suggested to my father that we should leave the windows open for a long time when we're not there.
