Persistently stared at Bai Qige's eyes, and silently told her that she would never give up until she got an answer.

"Whoever the second brother thinks I am, I am who I am." Bai Qige looked back at Bai Haocheng and replied plausibly.

Bai Haocheng's question was unexpected by her, in order to hide the sense of incongruity in the strange time and space, she lied about being frightened and couldn't remember the past by falling into the water and being injured, and the Bai family and Yi Chenjing never questioned it, stumbling all the way, and finally gained the trust of Yi Chenjing and many others, but she didn't expect that at this time, the second brother who cared about her the most jumped out with questions.

For such a vague answer, Bai Haocheng was obviously unacceptable, and the confusion in his black and white eyes was even better, but he still cared for most of it: "Since the night you fell into the water and were sent back to Baifu, you seem to have changed as a person, not only can you not remember everything about being the third lady of the Bai family, but many things you didn't know before have become familiar and even proficient, and even your personality is completely different from before." I've wondered if it's because I'm too frightened to cause this situation, but no matter how I say it, I can't even change my preferences and habits, so this incredible situation makes me think of one word,,"

Bai Haocheng deliberately left half a sentence, took a deep breath, and his expression changed violently.

"Resurrect the soul."

Legend has it that if a person has a surplus of residual thoughts after death, his soul will not go to Huangquan to re-enter reincarnation, but will be detained and wandering around the world. Some deceased souls will possess the body of a dying or recently deceased person by chance, and the body and soul will be combined again, and the dead body will be resurrected, but that person is no longer the original figure he once was, but another person who has changed his mind after being possessed by the dead soul.

Most of the legends are not credible, especially for people like Bai Haocheng, who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years and are accustomed to death, if someone mentioned the resurrection of the corpse a year ago, he would have laughed it off, and sneered at the strange power from the bottom of his heart, however, when the bizarre changes quietly happened to Bai Qige, he had to face his cognition again.

"The exact same body, face, and even the way you smile have not changed at all, and the scar on your shoulder is enough to prove that you are my sister without a doubt, but what I want to know is who the soul residing in this body is, you, who is it."

Bai Qige couldn't avoid the question that no one would mention in her life, and Bai Haocheng's strong questioning eyes didn't allow her to escape.

That's the biological brother of the owner of this body, who has the same father and mother, and has the same blood in his body, she has no qualifications and no right to lie to him, hide from him, and get so much affection from relatives who she couldn't ask for in her previous life, what face does she have to deceive them with lies. She can't do it, they, it's her closest relatives who would rather give all her flesh and blood for it, even if she learns the truth will reject her and be afraid of her, it's okay, it's too tiring to continue to play a role that doesn't belong to her, it's really tiring.

With a faint sigh, Bai Qige lowered his head, and his calm tone was very different from the cowardly sister in Bai Haocheng's memory: "It may not be appropriate to borrow a corpse to return the soul, but it can only be said that." You guessed it right, I'm not your sister, I'm just borrowing her body. ”

"It's really ......" Bai Haocheng smiled bitterly, his expression was both gloomy and sad, and he seemed to be a little relieved.

"When I possessed this body, your sister should no longer be alive, I don't know anything about everything around me, and after being sent back to Baifu, I can only carefully hide my true identity, I want to live, even if it is to use someone else's body, name, and ...... I also want to have a family, with both parents and siblings...... You won't understand that feeling, I really don't have any malice, I just want to live as Bai Qige. If you have to ask me to give my sister back to you, I can only say, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”

There was no sound in the room for a long time, and Bai Haocheng, who was in a trance, stood silent for a long time, and his hand touching the hideous scar fell.

That's the cruelest answer. The sister he had protected for half his life died, a few days before the Bai family suffered a serious accident, and died on the night when he was secretly glad that God did not take away his beloved relatives, but he had been kept in the dark, and thought that his weak and poor sister had luckily picked up her life, even if the Bai family was convicted and went through turmoil, the family was still there after the end, and the family still lived together.

What is the current situation?

Seeing that Bai Haocheng no longer spoke and seemed to be desperate, Bai Qige felt a little cold. It is undeniable that she occupied the body of the third lady of the Bai family, but she has done her best to compensate, for the sake of the Bai family, she endured humiliation and substitute marriage, and when she was most depressed and humiliated, she gritted her teeth and survived because the Bai family was not implicated, she just wanted to protect the hard-won family affection, and exchange everything she had for the safety of her relatives, do they want to abandon her. Just because the same body is not the soul of the third lady of the Bai family, but a lonely ghost of unknown origin.

If she loses them, loses her most important loved ones, how much is the meaning of her life?

Dry throat swollen and choked, Bai Qige didn't want to cry, although the grievances in her heart had nowhere to susten, making her almost lose all her strength.

"I've been watching, watching you, from childhood to adulthood, from croaking to slim, and then to the eldest sister and second sister dying on the battlefield one after another." The low and deep voice was full of the pain of remembrance, Bai Haocheng didn't know who he was talking to, whether it was the sister who had returned to the nine heavens, or the familiar and strange woman in front of him. In short, the smile on the young face infected by wind and frost is desolate, and I feel distressed when I look at it. Bai Qige raised his head and listened to him seriously, refusing to leave a word behind.

"My father and mother are old, and there is only one daughter left under my knees except for me and Xiao Yu, I am afraid, afraid that one day even my only sister will pass away, so I stubbornly oppose my father to send you into the army, but unfortunately, in the end, I still can't protect you...... I'm sorry, Qige, it's the second brother who is useless, it's the second brother who hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities, it's me...... Never again, as long as you are safe and sound, I am willing to give everything. ”

The iron-clad seven-foot man, where he was sad, shed tears like rain.

Bai Haocheng did not scold her for being a thief who stole her body, but kept apologizing to her, regretting that she could not protect her only sister, Bai Qige suddenly became enlightened, no matter whose soul inhabits this body, the third miss of the Bai family cannot be changed, she is the daughter of her father and mother, and she is the sister of the second brother, and her blood is compatible and irreplaceable.

The blood is connected, the dear and the beloved, the fast sword can be sharpened like clay but the connection continues, only the family affection will never change.

Gently leaning on Bai Haocheng's shoulder, Bai Qige was like a little girl acting like a brother, staggering her arms around Bai Haocheng's neck, and her voice carried a little expectation: "I can continue to call you second brother." ”

"You're my sister, and that's never going to change." hugged back tightly, his sideburns kissed lightly, Bai Haocheng closed his eyes and choked, his heart was like a knife, "I understand that you married to Yaoguo in order to protect the Bai family, endure humiliation and hardships, and it is difficult for you to bear so many innocent burdens." I will keep this secret for the rest of my life, and I will never tell the second person to know it even if I die, and in exchange, you must promise me one thing. ”

Bai Qige nodded without hesitation, her family is there, her relatives are there, her heart will not die, as long as she can keep this family affection, it doesn't matter if she agrees to ten, hundred, or thousand conditions, she can not even want her life, why not be afraid of others.

With a long sigh and let go of his hand, Bai Haocheng stroked his long hair with pity, and his words were still worried: "Promise me to live well, not for anyone, but for yourself." ”

"I'm doing well, really well." Holding up a smile, Bai Qige's heart was full of warmth, "The suffering has passed, with Concubine Jing in pain, Yi Chenjing in her protection, and my father and second brother in mind, I am better than ever." Now I only hope to return from the northern expedition as soon as possible, and then I will go back to Zhaoguo with Yuche to see my father and mother. ”

"That's the best. Daddy didn't say it, but in his heart he thought that you were thinking tightly, he was sick for more than two months after you left, and he even called your name in his dreams. Come back early, even if you only see each other, it will make the two elders feel much more at ease. ”

The long-standing confusion was solved, and the heaviness that pressed on Bai Haocheng's heart also dissipated, and it was enough to know the truth and be honest with Bai Qige.

He didn't lose his only sister, did he.

There was a faint sound of solemn drums outside the house, probably because the ceremony of worshipping the heavens was about to begin, and the parting was about to come. Bai Haocheng wiped away the man's tears and smiled helplessly, and after tidying up his clothes, he picked up the sachet embroidered by Yu Che on the table, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "The battlefield is ruthless, be careful yourself." ”

"Wait." Bai Qige suddenly grabbed Bai Haocheng's sleeve, thought about it, grabbed the teacup and threw it on the ground, picked up a sharp fragment and cut it between his hair, and a wisp of green silk fell into his palm. Bai Haocheng didn't understand what she meant, so she took the sachet and carefully stuffed her hair into it, tied the seal and handed it back: "Concubine Jing Niangniang told me many Dayao customs, one of which is to send a dream, put this sachet under the pillow, and you will see me when you sleep well at night." It's a tense time now, and I can't leave Yi Chenjing and return to Zhaoguo alone, hoping that this sachet can make my father and mother feel more at ease. ”

The person who misses sees each other in a dream, and waking up will only add to the worries. Bai Haocheng didn't say anything, took the sachet and put it away carefully, as if it was a unique treasure in the world.

"The festival is about to start, I still have to go back and change my clothes, and I'll let Yu Che tell you before I leave." Bai Qige opened the door, and the morning sun erupted from the outside sky, fiery red and dazzling.

The day dawned, illuminating the path she was going to take next, and I hope there would be no more darkness.

The thin but straight figure basks in the sun, and the pale gold envelops the face, serene and serene. Bai Haocheng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab Bai Qige's wrist: "You...... Your name is. ”

Name, how long has it been since anyone called that name. Maybe it won't be long before even I forget about myself.

Bai Qige chuckled, like a pure lotus blooming.

"Ann Xunxi, my name. But there is no one like An Xunxi, I am Bai Qige, the only and eternal third lady of the Bai family. ”

The previous life is over, this life continues, and everything has just begun. Listening to the solemn drum music blowing in the wind, it was the prelude to the new journey that was about to begin, and she could finally get rid of the heavy shackles left by the past, whether it was for Yi Chenjing or the Bai family, she, Bai Qige, was brand new.

It's just that Bai Qige didn't know at this time that the expedition to the Khorohe Khanate would be the starting point for her to be involved in the troubled times of Kyushu and the flames of wolf smoke.
