200. 199 - The Worshipper
However, if the maid accidentally knocked over the candle, there was no reason to wait until the fire broke out to find out. At that time, when Mu Shan rescued the four princes, he would not take him out of the palace.
The only possibility is that that person is someone close to Concubine Xiao.
It's just that it's not really sure who it is now, and if you rush to ask Concubine Xiao Shufei, it will only add to your upset.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyu saw an old man walking towards him in the distance, and he pulled Song Lingyu to bow his waist quietly and walked towards the weeds on the side.
Song Lingyu was a little puzzled, and after squatting down, she wanted to ask Mu Xiaoyu, but looking at his eyes so seriously, she looked at his gaze. For a moment, she seemed to understand what he was thinking. If the old man cleans this grave, then he is the one who comes to worship Mushan every year.
The rickety old man staggered closer and crouched down beside Mu Shan's grave. He looked at the tomb as if he were looking at an old man, and he couldn't hear what he was saying because he was too far away.
Song Lingyu only felt that Mu Xiaoyu's hand was slightly clenched, as if he was enduring something.
"Wait for me here." She tore Mu Xiaoyu's hand away, then stood up and walked towards the old man.
Mu Xiaoyu wanted to stop Song Lingyu, but she had already gone away. If you stand up now, you will definitely get that person's attention.
Fortunately, the man didn't notice where Song Lingyu came from, and just concentrated on pulling the grass one by one. As she was pulling, she saw a white hand fall on the weed on the side, and with a slight pull, a weed had already fallen into her hand. He looked up at the person who came, and asked with some surprise, "I don't know if Miss Weishenme will come here?" ”
Song Lingyu pinched the grass she had just pulled down and said, "Does the old man know me?" ”
The man nodded. "Naturally, I know each other, the eldest lady of the Song Mansion is kind, how can she not know her?"
Song Lingyu chuckled, no longer bothering about this issue. She looked at the grass in her hand and asked, "Seeing that the old man is so old and insists on coming to worship, is it a very important person lying here?" ”
The man still nodded and replied, "Yes, it is an important comrade-in-arms." ”
Looking at his slightly sad eyes, it didn't look like he was lying. She said: "Comrade-in-arms, then it means that the old man and the lying down are all people who have fought for God's blessing. ”
The man laughed: "He used to be a very heroic man, but Zuihou was buried underground before me. ”
"You have such a good relationship with him, then you must know all about him, right?" Song Lingyu said. Seeing that the man was silent, she knew that he was already suspicious. She also said, "I envy you, although you are not brothers, but the relationship is better than that of people who are related by blood. Several sisters of the Song family, although they are related by blood, are not even as good as strangers. ”
Seeing her say this, the doubts in the man's heart were also a little smaller, and he said: "Yes, we used to talk about life, from small things to big things. ”
"So, can you tell me how you and he met?"
"Before, I was one of his troops." He said, after a pause, "Then he left there, and I went with him." ”
Song Lingyu nodded, looked at him and raised his eyebrows and said, "When you left with him, but eighteen years ago?" ”
