Chapter 62 The Night of the Full Moon
In addition to the Song family's Malatang shop, people are gradually starting to do business in the county's market area, and some pastry shops and jewelry shops have also opened one after another.

However, the butcher shop is not open yet. Breeding animals takes time. During this period, if you want to eat meat, you have to rely on yourself.

For example, those Xuan cultivators obtain all the meat they eat by hunting. It is very rare for the Song family to hunt pheasants like this.

If ordinary people are really hungry for meat, they have to look for spiritual rice and exchange it with others.

In comparison, the situation of the Song family is much better. Since Song Hailong and Song Haitao can shoot arrows, they don't have to worry about meat.

I made braised rabbit meat for dinner today. Mrs. Song is very good at cooking the rabbit meat. She cooked the rabbit meat until it was bright red and oily, and the taste was extremely delicious.

Song Jinyue opened the door and let out the smoke in the room. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a group of eager children at the entrance of the courtyard.

It's been like this these past few days. Every time the Song family cooks, a group of children will come over, not begging for anything, but just watching eagerly.

Sometimes Mrs. Song couldn't help but want to serve some meat to them, but Song Jinyue stopped her.

If you give it to one family, you have to give it to other families. If so many children come every day, who can afford it? Moreover, if you are used to it, people will think you deserve it.

Moreover, that day is getting closer and closer, and soon everyone will be able to eat meat. I just wonder whether the court will believe her.

If you don't believe it, not being able to eat meat is second, but the most important thing is that many people will die, and there may even be a group annihilation.

Song Jinyue was half-heartedly chewing rabbit meat when she suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums on the street.

"Tomorrow morning, important things will be announced at the county government office."

"Folks, all go to the gate of the Yamen tomorrow morning to listen. The imperial court has something important to inform you!"

Several government officials held gongs and drums and shouted while walking through the streets.

Song Jinyue said in her heart that this day has finally come.

On the second day, at least one person from every household went to the Yamen to listen to matters. Song Hailong went to the Song family, and the rest were running shops at home.

Not long after, Song Hailong and many villagers came back. At the same time, some notices were posted at the entrances of each village.

"On a full moon night, wolves attack..."

Someone pointed at the words on it and read it. After he read it, his eyes turned from concern to horror.

"Ah, how could this be?"

"Didn't the imperial court verify before that, except for that bald guy, the other beasts would not go too far from where they live?"

At this moment, the same notices are posted not only in Long'an County, but also all over the world, causing people to panic.

Song Jinyue did not expect that the page she threw away that day would have results so quickly. It seemed that the royal family quite trusted her, and her efforts were not in vain.

In addition to explaining farming, the paper also told the world about various safety hazards.

Like the Bat Cave, there is also a kind of wolf cave hidden in this world. There is also a totem in it that can summon wolves. However, every full moon night, that is, the fifteenth day of every month, the strength of the wolves in this wolf cave will increase dramatically. , breaking the rules and causing chaos everywhere, which is another disaster for the world.

Moreover, the abilities of this wolf pack will increase with the passage of time. For example, if the strength of the wolf on the fifteenth day of this month is close to that of the tiger, then it is possible that the strength of the wolf on the fifteenth day of next month will exceed that of the tiger. There is no way of knowing how strong it will be in the end. Guessed.

But when the sun rises and the moon disappears, these wolves will immediately return to their caves and come out to cause trouble again on the fifteenth day of the next month.

Song Hailong returned home and told everyone how the Yamen handled the matter.

"Dig the cellar?"

Song Jinyue was startled and wanted to say that this was indeed a good idea, as she had thought at the beginning.

"That's right, and we need to put glowing grass in the cellar. Then the whole family can go in and hide for a night, and then everything will be fine."

Song Hailong was indeed shocked when he heard the news at first, but he felt relieved after hearing Magistrate Zhang's explanation. "Also, Magistrate Zhang mentioned that it is recommended that villagers dig some traps around the village to catch some wild animals."

"Hey, this is a good idea. We can pickle the meat that we can't eat!"

Song Haitao's eyes shone, and he was now interested in food.

"Today is only the tenth day of the lunar month, and there are still more than four days left. It's enough to dig traps!"

As the village leader of Mingyue Village, Song Hailong naturally has to lead people to do this in the village.

The villagers are very cooperative about digging traps. After all, this is a good opportunity to eat meat.

At noon that day, Song Hailong assigned tasks to everyone, including those who dug holes and those who sharpened bamboo tips.

No one among them was cheating, and they all tried their best to work, for fear that their efforts would be too little and they would not get a share of the meat in the end.

In addition to the meat, those precious furs are also coveted by everyone.

After several days of hard work, the traps were finally made and the cellars of each house were dug out.

Before night fell, everyone took the glowing grass and hid in the cellar.

Time passed bit by bit, and under the cellar, people's hearts were nervous and excited.

The moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone down, making the dark night look like day.

"Ow!"

The chilling howl of wolves penetrated the mountains, rent the air, and clearly reached the ears of the drowsy people under the cellar.

Everyone felt sleepy for a moment, and some timid children were even frightened to cry.

The wolves swooped down from the mountains. They climbed over the mountains and ridges, charging all the way. Some fought with the tree monsters and other monsters in the forest, and some escaped the hidden traps and rushed into the places where the residents lived, causing mad chaos.

Most of the wolves successfully entered the village, but only a few stepped on the hidden trap, fell down, and came into contact with the sharp bamboo tips underneath, causing blood to splatter on the spot.

One night passed, and a considerable number of wolf carcasses appeared in those traps.

Everyone was hiding underground, not knowing how long it was, and living a very miserable life.

The Song family's ears were surprisingly good, and they noticed the retreat of the wolves almost immediately.

"Let's go, great!"

Song Haitao clapped his hands, thinking that if the wolf meat was sprinkled with salt and dried into dried meat, the taste would not be too bad.

"Let's go up first."

There was a ladder at the bottom of the cellar. Song Jinyue climbed up first, followed by Song Haitao, Song Jinnan and others, and finally Song Haishan.

Song Haishan has gradually regained consciousness in his legs, but he is still unable to walk. Song Hailong needs to carry him on his back.

The whole family went up one after another, and what they saw was the wide open door, the broken windows, and the half-collapsed wall.

After last night, this well-built house has been completely destroyed.

Everyone looked at each other with helpless expressions.

"This is too scary!"

Mrs. Song covered her heart. She already had a premonition that things would definitely not stop in the future. She was afraid that she would have to build a new house every month.
