On weekdays, the witch divined for the villagers to find the lost cow, used gossip to calculate the day of weddings, funerals, and groundbreaking, and solved doubts. And the necessary ritual utensils and the dresses to be worn had to be bought in the city with money. Therefore, the shrine maiden needs to spin ramie, raise silkworms, pick herbs, etc., and sell them to foot vendors to obtain meager money.

Lin Yu needed to teach Cuckoo and Lin Yu the knowledge required for the witch's own job, so the three of them were quite busy every day, especially on important days.

Early this morning, Kan Zhe came to Lin Yu and brought Lin Yu a few bamboo baskets.

Kan Zhe said: "It's almost noon, and you have a lot of things to prepare, so use this bamboo basket." Lin Yu took it, didn't speak, and didn't thank him.

Kan Zhe looked at Lin Yu, suddenly remembered something, held the sachet hanging on his belt, and said, "Look, this sachet is broken, and the vanilla is leaking out." There are a lot of mosquitoes after the heavy afternoon, and this works. ”

Lin Yu said: "You give it to me, and I will make it up for you." ”

Kan Zhe hurriedly took off the sachet and gave it to Lin Yu, and asked, "Are you delaying your business?"

Lin Yu looked sideways and said, "Don't pretend, don't you mention this, don't you just want me to help you make it up?"

Kan Zhe scratched his head and said: "I can't hide anything from the witch, and I will have a hard time together in the future." ”

Lin Yu glared angrily: "What you said is what I think?"

Kan Zhe frightened: "No, I'm talking nonsense, don't be angry." ”

Lin Yu laughed "poof", Kan Zhe knew that Lin Yu was deliberate, and laughed with him.

Lin Yu asked, "Will you participate in the race?"

Kan Zhe said: "Well, this year, the village attaches great importance to it and will definitely win the championship." ”

Lin Yu: "When did Peng Cun not pay attention to it, but the number of times he won the championship was not much. ”

Kan Zhe said: "Don't pay more attention to it." This time I can't stay long, I'm going back to practice. ”

Lin Yu said: "Go ahead." Kan Zhe turned around and left.

Lin Yu led the cuckoo and Lin Yu to pick wormwood and calamus. The fifth day of May is the evil day when the poisonous insect epidemic increases. Each family hangs wormwood branches and calamus on the doors and windows to ward off evil spirits and epidemics. Adding wormwood and realgar to the water during bathing is also for this purpose.

Lin Yu taught the two to make mosquito repellent incense, scoop up duckweed from the pond, dry it in the shade, wrap rosin powder, wormwood powder, and realgar into strips, burn it, and can get rid of mosquitoes.

At noon of the Chongwu Festival, Lin Yu and Lin Yu, together with the villagers, came to the riverside of Lanshui Village, and threw rice balls, chickens and ducks into the river, and sacrificed to the dragon god, wishing the wind and rain to be smooth and away from the epidemic.

And the cuckoo returned to Yiyi Village to serve as a witch, and the Chongwu Festival was extremely important, and the head of Yiyi Village took the cuckoo back the first day. According to what Lin Yu taught, the cuckoo wished that the prayer was completed, and it was quite smooth.

After that, I went to the big river to watch the race. The most energetic young people from each village formed a team to row a boat, and the winner was very proud. The villages did their best to hang five-colored wisps on the bow of the ship to take good signs. The villagers rarely took a break from their busy schedules, meeting old friends and cheering for the participants, which was very lively.

After a period of hustle and bustle, Peng Cun won the championship. The people of Peng Village carried the boat and swaggered with the team members, no problem.
