Chapter 62: The Night of the Full Moon

In addition to the Song family's Malatang shop, some people in the market area of the county have gradually begun to do business, and some pastry shops and jewelry shops have also opened one after another.

It's just that the butcher shop has not yet opened, and it takes time to breed animals.

For example, those cultivators, the meat they eat is obtained by hunting, and it is very rare for a person like the Song family to be able to hunt pheasants.

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

In contrast, the situation of the Song family is much better, because Song Hailong and Song Haitao can shoot arrows, they are not worried about meat.

Today's dinner made braised rabbit meat, Mrs. Song is very good, the rabbit meat is red and oily, and the taste is extremely delicious.

Song Jinyue opened the door and let out the smoke in the house, who knew that as soon as she opened the door, she saw a group of children with blank eyes at the gate of the courtyard.

It's been like this these days, every time the Song family cooks, a group of children will come here, not to ask for something, just to watch there.

Mrs. Song sometimes couldn't help but want to give them some meat, 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, and if you get used to it, people think you deserve it.

Moreover, that day is getting closer and closer, and soon everyone will be able to eat meat, but I don't know if the court will believe her.

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

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

"Tomorrow morning, something important will be announced at the gate of the county government."

"Folks, tomorrow morning, we will all go to the gate of the yamen to listen to things, the court has something important to inform you!"

Several officials held gongs and drums and shouted as they walked through the streets and alleys.

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

On the second day, at least one person from each family went to the yamen to listen to affairs, and Song Hailong went to the Song family, and the rest of the people ran shops at home.

It didn't take long for Song Hailong and many villagers to return, and at the same time, some notices were posted at the entrance of each village.

"On the night of the full moon, wolves attack ......"

Someone pointed to the words on it, and when he read it, his eyes turned into horror.

"Ah, how can this be?"

"Didn't the imperial court verify before, except for that bald guy, the rest of the beasts would not step too far from their place of residence?"

At this moment, not only in Longan County, but also all over the world have posted the same notice, which makes people panic.

Song Jinyue didn't expect that she had lost that page that day, and she would see the effect so quickly, it seems that the royal family of the court still trusts her, and it is not in vain that she has worked so hard.

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

Like the Bat Cave, there is also a kind of wolf den hidden in this world, and there is also a totem in it that can summon wolves, but this wolf den will increase dramatically on the night of the full moon, that is, on the fifteenth day of each month, breaking through the rules and restrictions, and causing chaos everywhere, which is another disaster for the world.

Moreover, the ability of this wolf pack will increase with the passage of time, for example, the strength of the wolf on the fifteenth of this month is close to that of the tiger, then it is possible to surpass the tiger on the fifteenth of the next month, and it is impossible to guess how strong it will be in the end.

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

Song Hailong returned home and told everyone how to deal with the yamen.

"Digging a cellar?"

Song Jinyue was stunned, and wanted to say that this idea was really good, the same as she thought at the beginning.

"That's right, and put glowing grass in that cellar, and then the whole family will go in and hide for the night, and it will be fine."

When Song Hailong heard the news at first, he was really startled, but when he heard Zhang Xianling's explanation, he calmed down.

"Also, Zhang Xianling mentioned that it is recommended that the people of each village dig some traps around the village and try to catch some wild beasts."

"Hey, that's a good idea, we can still marinate the meat that can't be eaten!"

Song Haitao's eyes lit up, he was interested in eating now.

"It's only the tenth day of the first year today, and there are still more than four days to go, so it's enough to dig traps!"

Song Hailong is the village leader of Mingyue Village, and this matter in the village is naturally up to him to lead people to do it.

The villagers were very cooperative in digging traps, after all, it was a good opportunity to eat meat.

At noon that day, Song Hailong divided the work among all the families, some digging pits, and some sharpening bamboo tips.

None of them cheated and cheated, and they all tried their best to work, for fear that they would not be able to get meat in the end if they contributed less.

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

After a few days of hard work, the trap was finally done, and the cellars of each family were dug out.

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

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

In the middle of the moon, the bright moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting the night as if it were day.

"Whew!"

The chilling howl of the wolf pierced through the mountains, tearing through the air, and reaching the ears of the sleepy people beneath the cellar.

Everyone was sleepy for a moment, and some timid children were even scared to cry.

The wolves swooped down from the mountains, and they went on a rampage over the mountains, some fighting monsters such as the dryads in the forest, and some of them jumped over the hidden traps and rushed into the places where the inhabitants lived, causing madness.

Most of the wolves managed to enter the village, but only a few stepped on the hidden trap and fell, touching the sharp tip of the bamboo beneath the ground, and blood splattered on the spot.

As the night passed, a considerable number of wolf carcasses appeared in those traps.

Everyone hid underground, didn't know the time, and lived an extremely tormented life.

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

"Gone, great!"

Song Haitao clapped his hands, thinking that those wolf meat would not taste too bad if they were sprinkled with salt and dried into jerky.

"Let's go up first."

There was a ladder under the cellar, and Song Jinyue climbed up first, then Song Haitao, Song Jinnan and others, and finally Song Haishan.

Song Haishan has gradually regained sensation in his legs now, but he still can't walk, and Song Hailong needs to carry him on his back

The family went up and down, and they saw the wide open doors, the crumbling windows, and the half-collapsed walls.

After last night, the finely built house had been destroyed.

Everyone looked at each other and showed helpless looks.

"It's horrible!"

Mrs. Song covered her heart, and she already had a premonition that this day would definitely not stop in the future, and she was afraid that she would have to rebuild the house once a month.
