Mr. Zhuge smiled and bowed slightly towards Mrs. Fang, "Mrs. Fang, before we begin, we'd need your assistance with a few things."
"What can I do for you? As long as I can manage it, don't hesitate to ask!" Mrs. Fang was quite excited, nearly beating her chest in guarantee.
Mr. Zhuge nodded, "That's great. First, we need Miss Tang's birthdate and hour. Secondly, we need a lock of Miss Tang's hair or some blood, just a little is enough."
Mrs. Fang paused for a moment, "Miss Tang's birthdate and hour? And her hair or blood? Uh, is hair okay?"
"Of course, hair is ideal, but you need to ensure it's truly Miss Tang's hair." Mr. Zhuge said, handing Mrs. Fang a small bamboo tube. "Once you get either her hair or blood, just place it in this bamboo tube. Hair is easy, for blood, just a little on the mouth of the tube will do."
Mrs. Fang took the small bamboo tube, holding it delicately between her fingers, as cautiously as if she were handling something flammable and explosive.
