Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 175 The jade pendant with the word Yu...

After hearing the order, [-] soldiers took action, divided the work and cooperated, obeyed the requests of each corps commander, and began to bury the soldiers.

Some are responsible for sweeping away the snow; some are responsible for picking up broken halberds, broken swords, and broken spears; some are responsible for picking up corpses; and still others are responsible for disposing of the remains.

The corpses were picked up one by one and placed on the white cloth that had been prepared.

Some bones were not frozen, so the soldiers took off their armor, wrapped them in a clean white cloth, and then carried them into the pit and arranged them neatly.

Some bodies and armor were frozen together, and dedicated soldiers would defrost the bodies until the ice melted. Then they would take off the armor and bury the martyrs.

The picked up weapons and armor were loaded and transported back to Pingcheng by another group of soldiers. They were sent back to the forging camp in Pingcheng and handed over to the blacksmith to be reforged into new weapons.

On top of Yinshan Mountain, several ridges overlooking Pingcheng and Dongling are covered with pits. These pits were dug by prisoners of war and will also be the burial places of the soldiers whose bodies were exposed in Yinshan Mountain.

After waiting for two days, the army went to Yinshan Mountain to collect bones. In fact, there was no special reason.

In addition to the inconvenience of movement due to heavy snow and strong wind, they just waited for the prisoners of war to dig these big pits.

Due to lack of manpower, the remains of these soldiers could not be returned to their roots. What they could do was to bury the fallen soldiers on the ridge.

Buried in a place where you can witness the rise and fall of Pingcheng and Dongling.

At this time, no one could identify them from the roster, and the stone tablets erected in front of each pit could only be engraved with the words "Heroes' Tomb".

Perhaps this was the outcome they had anticipated, but among the tens of thousands of corpses, not one of them died with regrets.

Even if you die in a foreign land, your blood will be spilled on the battlefield.

They also died in this gloomy valley with the determination to face death and the pride of fighting to the last moment.

Even if the tombstone is nameless after death.

Even if you have to huddle in a pit with your comrades after death.

Even though some soldiers no longer have their bodies intact.

Even though their names will not be left in the history books, only the brutality of this battle will be recorded.

Huo Shixun commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner. He waved his hand and told the Bai Mingwei brothers and sisters: "I have a general here. You can go do your own thing. This is an order."

Bai Mingwei and Bai Jing did not refuse, because only their brother and sister and the two guards could recognize Bai Yu here. If they didn't look for it, how could they be sure whether Bai Yu was here?

So, the brother and sister, one on the left and one on the right, went to identify the corpses dug out of the snow.

After taking care of Bai Jing's body, Bai Mingwei called two guards to follow him.

The soldiers are well-trained and everything is in order.

But the suppressed sadness will always break through as the bodies of the martyrs are picked up one after another.

The veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles could still hold back the tears in their eyes, but the young soldiers still couldn't help crying.

"It's so miserable...wuwu..."

Bai Mingwei followed the cry, and she saw the thin soldier again - Xiao Du.

This was the third time they met face to face, and every time they met, Xiao Du always left a deep impression on Bai Mingwei.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ming asked slightly.

Everyone stepped back and bowed: "Big girl."

Xiao Du turned around with tears streaming down his face: "Big girl..."

His hands were raised, as if holding something.

It turned out that it was an ear that was only frozen, as well as stumps and broken arms.

Not all of it has rotted away yet, and the characteristic outline of the ear is clearly visible.

Bai Mingwei remembered that Xiao Du had good eyesight, so picking up these scattered parts was very suitable for him.But it's also cruel.

Because this Xiao Du seems to be just a young man who has not yet reached the crown.

Bai Ming patted his shoulder slightly: "Xiao Du, you did a good job. The soldiers must all come in one piece, and the whole body should be left to rest underground."

"Don't be sad. They were all brave warriors until the last moment. All the martyrs here are not weak."

"Of course, you, who are always growing and changing, are by no means weak."

"Yes!" Xiao Du responded. He wiped away his tears and continued to pick up the broken limbs and arms with his companions, trying his best to find the whole bodies of the soldiers who had lost part of their bodies.

The corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains, not only the soldiers of Dongling, but also the soldiers wearing Beiyan armor, would be picked up, stripped of their armor, and thrown directly into the holes that had been dug.

This was Huo Shixun's order, but he was not benevolent or sympathetic. He just didn't want these bones to rot and cause disease after the ice and snow melted.

So he generously rewarded these thieves who invaded the city and plundered the land with a big pit, and buried them indiscriminately at the feet of [-] soldiers, allowing them to atone for the sacrifice of the Dongling soldiers in this way.

Bai Mingwei watched Xiao Du and his companions continue to work hard, and she went to identify the bones that had just been dug out.

Look at them one by one and recognize them one by one.

The soldiers who were wrapping up the bodies knew what she and the Fifth Young Master were looking for. The bones that had not been identified by their brothers and sisters would not have their cheeks wrapped in white cloth. This became the default thing.

She has been looking for the seventh brother, but she does not want to find the seventh brother.

Just like this, walking with contradictions and fears among the rows of corpses.

Brother Qi, you must not be here, right?
At this moment, Xiao Du ran towards her "dengdengdeng".

Xiao Du ran in a hurry and fell down several times, but he still got up on his hands and feet, staggered through the thick snow, and ran towards her: "Miss, my subordinate has found A jade pendant with the word 'Yu' engraved on it..."

Bai Mingwei's expression changed and he immediately faced Xiao Du.

She took the jade pendant and her eyes suddenly focused.

The jade color is transparent, the chalcedony is soaked in green, and there seems to be a wisp of cold smoke lingering on it, which looks ancient and mysterious.

The little "Yu" is carved in the middle of the jade.

This is the jade pendant of Brother Seven, one for each of their thirteen brothers and sisters, and she can recognize it at a glance.

Bai Mingwei couldn't hide his emotions, pinched Xiao Du's arm and asked excitedly: "Where did you find it?"

Xiao Du was startled and then said: "Miss, please come down with me."

In fact, when the officers and soldiers of the Bai Family Army came to collect the body today, they did not know that the Fifth Young Master was still alive, let alone that the whereabouts of the Seventh Young Master was unknown.

They came to Yinshan purely to pick up bones.

Xiao Du is literate and has a sharp mind. When he picked up the jade pendant, he immediately thought of the name "Yu" written by Qi Lang of the Bai family.

He thought that this might be the relic of the Seventh Young Master, so he came to give it to the eldest girl.

"Go, go quickly..." Bai Mingwei ordered the guard beside him. Before she could finish her words, the guard immediately ran excitedly in the direction of Bai Jing.

Bai Mingwei stopped hesitating and ran like crazy to the place where he found the seventh brother's jade pendant. The thin Xiao Du couldn't keep up with her, but he still chased after her desperately.

"It's there!"

Xiao Du pointed to a piece of snow and repeated: "It's right there."

Bai Mingwei, who was walking in a hurry, stopped at this moment.

A pair of beautiful eyes without tears, but like a bird, tremblingly sweeping over the snow.
