Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 178 Found the traces of Seventh Brother
Bai Jing spoke again, with a timid tone.

It was as if he was afraid that Bai Mingwei would tell him that Brother Seven had been found.

Seeing Fifth Brother's appearance, Bai Mingwei felt heartbroken.

How could she not understand how Fifth Brother was feeling at the moment?
The fifth battle at Yinshan was a disastrous defeat, and Fifth Brother blamed it all on himself. The self-blame and guilt in his heart could not be easily erased.

Even if Fifth Brother seems to have emerged from the shackles of the shadows on the surface, that is just an illusion. In fact, Fifth Brother is tortured by guilt all the time in his heart.

Therefore, Fifth Brother was so looking forward to the news about Seventh Brother, but also so worried - he wanted to find Seventh Brother quickly, but he was afraid that the Seventh Brother he would find was just a cold corpse.

Bai Mingwei shook his head seriously: "Fifth brother, there is only the seventh brother's jade pendant here, and there is no figure of the seventh brother."

"Xiao Qi..." Bai Jing called softly. He staggered over, grabbed Bai Mingwei's eyes, and asked cautiously, "Did you just find the jade pendant?"

Bai Mingwei nodded solemnly: "I just found the jade pendant."

Bai Jing didn't seem to believe it. He staggered to Bai Mingwei's side, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse's face.

He didn't know that Bai Mingwei had returned here from the place where he found the jade pendant, so he thought that the jade pendant was found here.

Until he confirmed that those bones had nothing to do with Bai Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was not completely relieved, his expression was too complicated to describe.

As if he was afraid that if he didn't see Xiao Qi here, he would see him somewhere else.

He opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

Originally, he wanted to tell Mingwei that it was a good thing that he couldn't find him. He might still be alive if he couldn't find him.

But the corpses all over the place made it impossible for him to have such expectations, and he couldn't even say these words.

He was unwilling to give in and wanted to rummage in the snow. He stumbled a few steps and was grabbed by Bai Mingwei: "Fifth brother, the jade pendant was not found here. I have already looked for it near the place where the jade pendant was found. "

Bai Mingwei handed the jade pendant to him: "The gaps in the jade pendant's ribbon are neat. It can be seen that it was broken by a sharp weapon."

Bai Jing looked at her blankly: "So?"

Bai Mingwei said: "It's broken like this, which means that Seventh Brother was also on the battlefield at that time and participated in the battle."

Bai Jing still stared at him: "Then..."

Bai Mingwei explained: "The location where the jade pendant was found is on the edge of the valley, far away from the location where Bai Jiajun prisoners of war were executed."

"If Brother Seven had appeared there, he was definitely not brought to Yinshan as a prisoner of war. And if the jade pendant fell at that location, if he was killed in battle, his body would not be too far away from the jade pendant."

"A situation will arise if you are not a prisoner of war, but you also participated in the battle, but your body cannot be found."

Bai Jing murmured: "It's possible that Xiao Qi is alive."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "If there is no corpse in this Yin Valley that belongs to Brother Qi, maybe we can guess that Brother Qi is still alive."

From this conversation, it can be seen that both brothers and sisters are in heavy moods.

The result of this speculation did not lower their high spirits.

They were all worried about Bai Yu, worried that his blood was cold in a deserted corner, and he couldn't even pick up his bones.

I was also afraid that he would survive by chance, but would have to endure the cold weather without any support.

Bai Jing was silent for a long time, and his voice was slightly choked: "Mingwei, let's keep looking."

He was going back to the other side where the body was temporarily parked.

He will continue to identify it until the dust settles.

Bai Ming nodded slightly, but couldn't say anything to comfort him. He just said: "Okay."

Bai Jing staggered away. The guard wanted to help him, but he refused.

Even though his steps were sloppy and he was so weak that he was swaying, he did not rely on his guards.

It was as if he was proving to all the heroic spirits that he, Bai Jing, would not fall easily, and as if he was punishing himself in this way. Only pain could make him feel better.

It was more like he felt that in front of these fallen soldiers, he did not deserve to enjoy the service of others with peace of mind.Bai Ming looked at Bai Jing's back slightly, but didn't look away for a long time.

She was keen and had already sensed where Fifth Brother's heart was, but at this moment, there was nothing she could do.

"To untie a bell, you must tie the bell, and for heart ailments, you must cure them with heart medicine." Feng Qingchen, who had been silent just now, said this calmly.

Although he is blind, he seems to be able to read people's minds.

Why doesn't Bai Mingwei understand?

She understands but is powerless. This is her most helpless part: "If the seventh brother is alive, the fifth brother must have the motivation to cheer up."

But, is Seventh Brother still alive?
Putting her hope on this illusory possibility, she didn't even have the confidence to say it.

Feng Qingchen did not answer.

He only knew that the Yinshan Mountain in his previous life had become a forbidden area, and the little girl failed to pick up the bones of her father, uncle, and brother. He didn't know the more specific details.

So he didn't dare to make any guesses.

Feng Qingchen's silence did not make Bai Mingwei worry. She glanced at the corpses that were being moved one after another: "No matter what, I want to find Brother Qi. I want to see the person alive and the corpse after death!"

After saying that, she continued to identify the seemingly countless remains.

During the whole process, Feng Qingchen silently followed her.

As long as she recognized it in the cold wind, Feng Qingchen stayed by her side.

From the time the sun rises in the east to the time when the Golden Crow sets in the west, the bodies have been buried.

There are a total of 680 bodies. Those who disappeared and have not been found may have died in the defense of Pingcheng.

There were more than 5000 enemy corpses.

But among these corpses, not one of them was Bai Yu.

Bai Mingwei's brother and sister were dazzled by the sight, and indeed there was no sign of Brother Seven.

Bai Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but became more and more panicked.

She was relieved that she didn't find Brother Seven, but she was worried that Brother Seven was already here, but she didn't notice it.

Bai Jing was so tired that she could hardly stand, but she refused to give up and still called "Xiao Qi" in her heart.

The soldiers finished their mission of cleaning up the battlefield ruins, and the brothers and sisters gathered together to confirm each other's situation.

"Mingwei, have you found Xiao Qi?"

"Fifth brother, I don't see seventh brother here."

"I don't have one there either..."

The brother and sister exchanged a few words and confirmed that neither of them had found Bai Yu. They involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, they began to worry again. They were worried that they were too careless when identifying the enemy's corpse, so they missed Bai Yu's figure.

Bai Mingwei tried his best to restrain this terrible thought, but Bai Jing couldn't sit still at all, and wandered around to dig into the enemy's mass grave.

Feng Qingchen stopped him: "Fifth Young Master, Seventh Young Master is a junior general, and the armor of a junior general is different from that of ordinary soldiers. General Huo has already told you to pay attention to the generals' clothing."

"Since nearly [-] soldiers didn't notice it, how could you miss it? I don't think the Seventh Young Master is here."

After hearing this, Bai Jing did not dig through the mass graves.

He turned around slowly and murmured in despair: "Xiao Qi, where is my seventh brother?"

Just as Feng Qingchen was about to speak, Xiaobai jumped on his shoulder and started babbling.

His expression changed, he leaned into Bai Mingwei's ear, and lowered his voice: "Little girl, my people found some traces 25 miles away. It has been confirmed that those traces belong to the Seventh Young Master."
