Chapter 7: The Beginning

After Lin Yu taught Lin Yu and Cuckoo a series of spring rituals in the first month, Cuckoo returned to Yiyi Village to perform the duties of a witch.

Lin Yu will marry Kan Zhe, and Lin Yu will officially become a witch. Lin Yu hoped that the two would often go to Peng Village to see her, and they could discuss with her if they had any problems.

In the blink of an eye, in the past five years, Lin Yu and Cuckoo have become more and more sophisticated in the skills required by the witch, and they are no longer nervous about the sacrificial ceremony. The two of them went to Lin Yu and Kan Yun in their spare time, called for advice, but in fact, they mostly met to play, sometimes on the mountain, sometimes by the water, and occasionally went to the city to buy.

Cuckoo's mother, Zou, complained a lot, thinking that her daughter becoming a witch could bring her some benefits, but she didn't expect that there were no benefits, and she couldn't share labor services for the family. Cuckoo's father comforted her that she had something to do with the villagers, and the villagers gave her three points in front of the shrine maiden. The Zou family calmed down temporarily, but soon brought up the matter again, and Du's father couldn't bear to be disturbed.

In this year, Wu Guo elected the Great Witch, and selected four accompanying sacrifices every ten years, one of whom would become the chief priest after ten years, and the other three would either hold other positions or return to their hometowns, and so on. And becoming a great witch, whether it is the main priest or the accompanying priest, she will not be allowed to leave office within twenty or ten years, this is the reason why Lin Yu did not choose to stay in Duyi Wucheng, she and Kan Zhe cannot be separated for so long.

After the spring festival is over, the shrine maidens in each village need to prepare to stop. The king of Wu will issue an edict ordering people to go to various places to pick up witches and take them to the palace courtyards of the capital to live, and give them to each witch.

Lin Yu asked Lin Yu and Du Juan not to worry too much, they should go to Duyi. Lin Yu said with a smile that a famous teacher makes a high apprentice, but she was selected back then, and she took the initiative to give up, which is enough to prove her ability, and her whole body skills have been passed on to the two.

The cuckoo said that she was not interested in any big witch, but she couldn't lose Lin Yu's face, and she would try her best to fight, and it was unknown whether she would stay or not.

Although Yiyi Village and Lanshui Village are not far apart, for some reason, the people who came to pick up Lin Yu and Du Juan were different.

It is rare for the people of Yiyi Village to see people from the capital, so they are all waiting at the entrance of the village. Horses are rare, not to mention the exquisite carvings of the carriages, with umbrellas on them. For the villagers, Luo used it to make clothes was too luxurious. The person who erected the chariot wore a silk cloth robe, embroidered with phoenix birds and cloud patterns. I've seen enough of this excitement, and I can talk about a few cold and summer months.

The cuckoo looks like the phoenix bird embroidered on the clothes of the people, and it is guessed that it is the royal family, and he is still young, and he may be one of the princes. The cuckoo didn't say much and was invited into the carriage.
