The man was wearing a plain robe, sitting on a futon with his back to the door.

The hall seems to be closed, but in fact there is a slight wind blowing slowly, and the sound of gurgling water can also be heard.

The two turned their heads and took a closer look, only to find that there was a sink less than two feet wide on the edge of the palace, with clear running water flowing in it.

The brilliance of the night pearl also fell into the water, like a shining galaxy.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether this was another palace or a place of imprisonment?

Su Xiaoxiao pinched Wei Ting.

Wei Ting looked at him strangely.

Does it hurt?

Su Xiaoxiao asked with her eyes.

Um.

Wei Ting replied with his eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao: Then it is not a dream.

Wei Ting: "..."

But even if it was a dream, Su Xiaoxiao would never have imagined that there was actually a person living in the abandoned mine.

The aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and ghee floated in the hall.

It was true that the guards sent poison over here, and it was not a pretense to send snacks, they really wanted to give this person to eat.

But putting it in a food box, isn't it a bit too hearty?

"Why are there so many people here today?"

The man asked behind his back.

He didn't look back, and the brush in his hand didn't stop at all.

The two could roughly see that what he painted was a landscape painting, but they couldn't see the specific details clearly.

After all, it's too far away.

The man waited for a long time before the sound of footsteps approached, and finally realized that something was wrong.

He paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked in the direction of Shimen.

When he saw two young men dressed as miners, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But soon, his expression became serious: "You are not miners."

Isn't it right, this person's eyes are so vicious, you can see it at a glance?

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting were also very courageous, no matter where it was or what status he was, they walked over without any scruples.

The stone door behind him slammed shut.

Wei Ting put away the flashlight in time and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao without any trace.

Su Xiaoxiao took it and threw it into the pharmacy.

pharmacy:"……"

The man turned up the wick on the table, looked at the two of them for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Are you—"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Do you believe me when I said we entered this place by mistake?"

man:"……"

Shicai was far away, looking at his back, he felt very thin.

Taking a closer look, he is about the same age as Cheng Sang, and the years have left marks on his temples and face.

But his facial features and bones are very handsome, it is not difficult to imagine his handsome and suave appearance when he was young.

Probably due to the lack of sunlight, his skin was transparent and pale, and the blue blood vessels on his forehead were clearly visible.

When Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting were observing the man, the man was also observing the two of them.

Both of them have changed their faces, and they can't see their real appearance.

However, after the man's eyes swept over the two, they fell back on Su Xiaoxiao's face.

He raised his palm to cover Su Xiaoxiao's slapped face, only showing his forehead and a pair of clear eyebrows.

Su Xiaoxiao generously let him watch.

After a while, he put down his hand and said softly, "Your eyes remind me of someone."

"Who?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

He smiled lightly: "Miss Cheng, Cheng Sang."

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting exchanged a look.

Wei Ting took her and sat down opposite the man.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Do you know Cheng Sang?"

The man said: "Before I answer your question, I need to know what relationship you have with her."

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided to take a gamble: "She is my grandmother."

A trace of astonishment flashed across the man's eyes again.

But if you look closely, there is still a bit of bewilderment mixed in.

He smiled, picked up the pen and drew two more strokes, and said without sadness or joy: "It turns out that so many years have passed."

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Are you imprisoned here?"

The man said: "That's right."

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "What does it mean?"

The man sighed: "It's complicated."

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "Let me change the question, have you been here all these years?"

The man said: "Yes."

It must have been imprisoned.

Su Xiaoxiao said again: "Do you know my grandmother?"

"I know." The man paused and said, "She came here before, and she was about your age at that time."

Su Xiaoxiao is eighteen years old this year, but she looks small, she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old.

At that time, Cheng Sang should not have gone crazy.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What is she doing here? Do you remember the specific date?"

The man shook his head: "I don't remember the exact date, I only know it's spring, the season when snake bones bloom."

Su Xiaoxiao murmured: "That's February to March."

The man took a deep look at Su Xiaoxiao: "You know snake bone flowers very well."

This man is sharp and sharp.

Any sentence can give clues.

But why was such a person imprisoned here?

Su Xiaoxiao took back the initiative: "You haven't said why my grandmother came here back then?"

The man said: "She didn't come here by herself, she was tricked to come here and fell down the mine. I happened to pass by...and rescued her."

He hesitated as he spoke of passing by.

Su Xiaoxiao boldly guessed that he was not passing by, but wanted to escape.

It's just that he heard a cry for help halfway, and turned his head to save someone first.

If what he said is true, he is Cheng Sang's savior.

He didn't need to tell this lie, because with Cheng Sang around, his lie could be easily exposed.

"Cheng Sang...is she... okay?"

he asked hesitantly.

"Not good, she's crazy."

"Crazy?" The man was startled, "Why?"

His shock didn't seem fake.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't hide it anymore: "Her newborn child was diagnosed as stillborn. After losing her daughter, she became a little crazy. However, I suspect that the reason for her going crazy is not only the blow caused by the loss of her daughter." , it may be related to what happened in the mine. Since you saved her back then, do you know what happened to her?"

The man recalled: "She stayed alone in the dark mine for three days and three nights, and she should have suffered a lot of fright. But...she went crazy...maybe it has something to do with me."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand and said, "How do you say that?"

The man put down his paintbrush and said in a low voice: "She saw me, she has only two ends: either die or go crazy."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "You mean she was driven crazy?"

The man sighed: "I'm just guessing, I always feel that she is not the kind of person who goes crazy easily."

Su Xiaoxiao was thoughtful: "If your guess is right, the loss of a daughter is just an opportunity. Someone used this to drive my grandmother completely crazy. From the outsiders' point of view, she is too sad..."

The man was ashamed and said: "In the end it was I who harmed her."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak.

If the man hadn't lied, she wouldn't blame him.

Because if he hadn't saved Cheng Sang, Cheng Sang might have died in the mine.

The question is who is he?

Why did Cheng Sang have to be silenced or driven crazy when he saw him?

Wei Ting's ears twitched: "Someone is coming!"

The man immediately became vigilant, pointed to the room on the left with his eyes, and said to the two: "Go to my bedroom and stay! I will deal with it!"

The two got up and went.

The man picked up the teapot on the table and splashed water around the desk, including the place where Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting sat on the floor.

boom.

The stone door opened.

It was Mu Patriarch Mu Tan who came.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting stood behind the door, observing the movement here from the crack of the door.

Mu Tan came alone.

He first saluted the man perfunctorily, and then seemed to be planning to sit down opposite the man.

But when he saw the water stains all over the floor, he frowned and had no choice but to stand.

Su Xiaoxiao secretly admired the man's wit.

She and Wei Ting had just sat down, the body temperature of the two of them must still remain on the futon.

If Mu Tan sat on it, he would definitely notice it.

Since Mu Tan saluted him, regardless of whether it was perfunctory or not, it at least showed that the identity of the man was higher than that of Mu Tan.

In the same way, it should be above Xue Ping and Mr. Feng.

Wei Ting looked around and signaled Su Xiaoxiao with his eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and saw many picture albums hanging on the wall.

Three of the paintings are of Cheng Sang, but they are just Cheng Sang's appearance when he was young.

Cheng Sang was so beautiful at that time.

Extravagant and greasy, as gorgeous as peaches and plums.

This is a portrait from many years ago, and the paper is slightly yellowed.

But it is not difficult to see that the mood of drawing these paintings at that time was filled with admiration.

Su Xiaoxiao's mind suddenly flashed.

Her mother was born in winter, and Cheng Sang met the man in spring.

If it happened in the same year...

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide.

Could he be his own grandfather?

Suppose, Xie Yunhe was cuckolded, or he became a successor as soon as he got married.

He became furious when he learned the truth, so he desperately wanted to deal with the "evil seed" that shamed him.

When she returned as her granddaughter, Xie Yunhe denied her in every possible way.

Because even if she is the real Cheng Su, she is not Xie Yunhe's seed.

This is very possible!

Su Xiaoxiao felt that she was the truth!

However, she is a rigorous person who must speak evidence in everything.

She touched a piece of intact hair with follicles on the bedside, and wrapped it quietly with a veil.

Over there, Mu Tan exchanged a few words with the man.

He took out a small porcelain bottle, took a few drops of the man's blood, and left.

Su Xiaoxiao let Wei Ting go out first.

She went into a pharmacy and compared herself genetically to the man's hair.

It didn't turn out so fast.

She left the pharmacy first.

Wei Ting was asking the man: "Why did Mu Tan take your blood?"

The man looked at Wei Ting seriously, and said earnestly: "I said, you'd better not inquire too much about me. Otherwise, you will be the next Cheng Sang."

The two had been out for too long, so they should go back, otherwise they would show their feet in front of Xue Ping and the others, which would be even more detrimental to the follow-up investigation.

The two pushed the cart to the door.

The corporal leader who picked up the money asked angrily: "Why have you been here for so long?"

Wei Ting said without changing his expression: "They called me away just now, and they asked us to move several carts of ore."

Wu Zhang just picked up the money, and he was in a good mood: "Go to work!"

The two pretended to work for a while, and slipped away when they were not prepared.

On the way back to Xiaozhuyuan.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Wei Ting, could he be my grandfather?"

Wei Ting recalled the man's expression when he told him, and said seriously: "You can check, but I always feel that his identity is not that simple."
