Old Yu looked at me and said," I know what you're thinking. I only met you because Dao Brother Yuan Yi introduced you. If you want to go to the ghost market, you won't be able to do it without my index."”
After he finished speaking, he poured me a cup of tea. It could also be said to be a big bowl of tea. I picked up the bowl, and there was a hint of respect in my eyes. This was how one should ask for help. One couldn't blame others for being serious.
I took over and was about to speak, but Old Yu shook his head and told me to drink tea first. I was worried that the tea I had just brewed was too hot, so I wanted to blow it, but Old Yu waved his hand and said," Sigh, it's not good to drink after blowing it.”
I frowned and took a sip. It didn't matter. Although the tea was still warm, it melted like snow in my mouth and was slightly cold. After entering my stomach for three to four seconds, it was no different from cold water. It was Banxia and this feeling could be described in one word: refreshing.
I put down the bowl and gave it a thumbs up." This is good tea and water, and…" I looked at the bowl and continued," Good bowl!”
Old Yu laughed and said," This is called the Ice Heart Cup. It looks like a bowl, but it was placed in the ice cellar of the noble families in the past. It was used to send ice out. Some of them were left there for decades.”
Then he pointed to the cup in front of me and said," Your cup has been here for at least 70 years. This is the real Ice Heart Cup."”
I know a little about it. It's a tradition for the imperial court to make ice in winter to preserve it, and then hand it over to the imperial court. Then, the imperial court will reward the nobles and nobles to store it. Every time, they will take a small piece of loose ice to use or chill things. This bowl is the first container. The mouth is big, but the bottom is small. After taking it out, people will thank the emperor for his kindness and then use it. However, he couldn't leave the ice cellar. If he went out, it would easily break the cold air in the ice cellar. That way, the ice would melt easily. If it melted, he would be beheaded. That was a reward from the emperor.
I said," Thank you for your good tea and bowl. If I didn't know you, I really wouldn't have known that there was such a thing in the world.”
Old Yu squinted his eyes and smiled." Do you like it?”
I smiled and picked up the bowl to admire it." Whether you like it or not, it's at least an item from the Qing Dynasty.”
However, the old man's last sentence made my heart turn cold. "Even if I like it, I won't give it to you!" Then, I took it back with my hand, leaving my hand empty in the air. My mind was in a mess for a few seconds.
Then, I smiled dryly and said," You must be joking. I wouldn't dare to take it even if you gave it to me. Back to the topic, I'm here to ask you for an index. Please enlighten me."
I stood up and bowed. The old man didn't hold back. He told me to sit down and asked," Why are you going to the ghost market? What kind of deal are you making?”
I said," Actually, it's nothing much. My father met a friend in the hospital, and the two of them had a good conversation. Later, I found out that the friend had late-stage liver cancer with gastric variceal bleeding. I didn't think he could live for more than half a year, so I told his family the truth. In the end, his wife knelt down and asked me for help. Could I think of a way? In addition, my father told me that if there was a way, I could try it. I couldn't refuse, so I could only go to the ghost market and try my luck.”
" Uh," the old man replied." You changed your father's age through the netherworld, right? It should be about half a year."”
I calculated the time to give my father a new birthday. It will be about half a year from the end of June to the end of the summer. Then I said truthfully,"That's true. Because this old man is not my relative, I really can't use the method of the underworld anymore.”
Old Yu nodded and said," We can do it for the time being if we agree, but we can't do this kind of thing for long. It's better not to go to that place. If a stranger goes, I'm afraid his lifespan will be shortened."”
As he spoke, he took out a small black glass bottle and said," There are three pills here that are all medicine to nourish yang. When you come back, take one each with that person's child. You can keep one for yourself and see if you might need it in the future.”
I nodded and got up to thank him. Then, I took the pill and took out my wallet to leave some cash as a reward.
Old Yu waved his hand and said," There's no need to do this. You can just transfer the money on WeChat later."”
I thought to myself,'Damn it, I haven't downloaded WeChat yet.' Then, she blushed and said," I don't have WeChat. My phone is small and can only answer calls.”
Old Yu said," Forget it, then. Let's put it on the tab."”
