Jade of Rebirth

A pair of brothers came to Qifeng Town. On the first day they came, they aroused discussions among the people in this small town.

This pair of brothers is said to be sworn brothers. Both brothers have extraordinary temperament and dignified appearance. Although the elder brother has a long scar on half of his face, it is difficult to hide his handsome facial features and demeanor. Not to mention the younger brother, with his soul-stirring phoenix eyes and his facial features as if carefully carved, he was extremely handsome. As soon as the two brothers arrived in the town, they attracted the attention of the eldest daughter and the younger daughter-in-law.

The two brothers settled down in the town and opened a tofu shop, and it didn't take long for them to get acquainted with everyone.

It turned out that the older brother was called Ding Jiaxing, and the younger brother was called Zheng Yunying. The two came from the southwestern border. Because of the locust plague in their hometown, other relatives starved to death, and only the two brothers fled here.

The elder brother Ding Jiaxing is thin and thin, but he always has a smile on his face and speaks in a friendly voice. He often sits at the window to buy tofu.The younger brother Zheng Yunying is strong, looks upright and friendly, but people are always afraid to get close to him, and he doesn't show up very much, basically he grinds tofu and chops firewood in the yard of his home, in short, he does rough work.

Although these two brothers are brothers of the opposite sex, they are closer than brothers.Because the elder brother is thin, the younger brother always helps him here and there, and seldom asks him to do heavy work. I will not mention these for the time being, but once, a few naughty children in the town saw the elder brother with a long face. The long scar is scary, so I looked at him from a distance, watching him like a monkey show on the street, after watching him, I still called him "ugly". In fact, this brother must be like a fairy without this scar A man, but he has this scar...

Others just thought it was a pity, but the younger brother was very angry when he saw this by chance, and ran out to scold the children viciously. His vicious appearance was even scarier than the living Hades, let alone those children , Even the adults around were terrified, so those children never dared to come again.

On this day, the tofu shop was open until noon as usual, and the last piece of tofu was sold.

Aunt Li who bought the last piece of tofu was very happy: "Brother, your tofu is good, smooth and tender. The head of our family likes to eat your tofu, but your tofu is too little. Every time I come late It's gone, and I have to go to Zhangji on the back street to buy it. Their tofu is hard, rough, and expensive. It's not as good as yours..."

Ding Jiaxing, who was sitting by the counter at the window, heard this, and said with a smile: "Stop talking about Aunt Li, besides, people are going to smash my shop."

"He dares!" Aunt Li put her hips on her hips and said with feigned anger, "If he dares to smash me, he will smash his house!"

Ding Jiaxing laughed and said, "Then thank Aunt Li for taking care of me."

"Okay, it's getting late, I have to go home and cook, see you later!"

"Okay, see you later." Ding Jiaxing put away the wooden tray, put the wooden board on the window counter, and it was closed.

He picked up a stack of wooden trays containing tofu with both hands, and was about to carry them into the yard when his younger brother Zheng Yunying walked over quickly:

"Didn't I tell you to let it go? You are not in good health, so don't do this kind of heavy work."

Ding Jiaxing obediently asked him to make a wooden pallet, and said with a smile, "This is not heavy work. If I can't even lift this, I'm useless. Don't worry, I'm not that delicate."

"Anyway, if you can't do it, don't do it." Zheng Yunying put the mold by the well and said, "Go and sit down, you can have lunch right away."

"Okay." Ding Jiaxing sat down at the dining table, and saw a roast duck, a plate of fried vegetables, and a bowl of bamboo shoot soup steaming on the table.He turned his head and looked at Zheng Yunying who was busy, his smile slowly narrowed, and his long eyelashes fell slightly.

"Okay, Jiaxing, let's eat." Zheng Yunying put a bowl of rice in front of Ding Jiaxing, handed him the chopsticks, and said softly, "This morning, I saw that the bamboo shoots had sprouted, so I pulled out a few. To cook the soup, I also put some pickles, it’s very fresh, try it.”

Ding Jiaxing scooped up a mouthful with a spoon, and felt the delicious fragrance in his mouth, so he smiled at him and said, "Well, it's really delicious." He tore off a roasted duck leg and put it in Zheng Yunying's bowl, "I've been busy for a long time and I'm tired." Come on, eat quickly."

"Thank you Jiaxing." Zheng Yunying's eyes were full of tenderness, and the smile on her lips was sweet.

Ding Jiaxing also smiled sweetly, and buried his head to eat.

After the two of them had finished eating, Zheng Yunying cleared the dining table and went to wash the dishes, while Ding Jiaxing went to soak the soybeans. After soaking the soybeans, he could take a nap, and Zheng Yunying would do the rest of the work such as grinding tofu.

Ding Jiaxing slept on the recliner with a thin blanket covering his body. After reading for a while, he soon felt his eyes sore and sleepy. He put down the book, tilted his head, and fell asleep.

Zheng Yunying outside started to grind the tofu after washing the dishes. There is a donkey at home, but I don't know whether it is because he is not skilled enough to drive it or the donkey is disobedient. It always takes a long time, so he simply grinds it by himself. For a long afternoon, he can grind slowly.

After grinding for a while, sweat broke out on his forehead, and just as he took off his coat, he heard Ding Jiaxing calling to him in a hurry, so he ran in quickly, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw Ding Jiaxing was having a nightmare, his face full of anxiety and pain , calling out his name over and over again:

"Yuanying, Yuanying..."

He frowned and walked over gently. Just as he was about to reach out to hold Ding Jiaxing's hand, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw himself. There seemed to be concern and anxiety in his eyes. The next moment, he sat down suddenly. Get up, hug Zheng Yunying's waist, and bury yourself in his arms:

"Yuanying..."

Zheng Yunying gently put her hand on his back, and said with a soft smile: "Wrong, didn't you say it, my name is Zheng Yunying."

Ding Jiaxing seemed to be gradually waking up, and muffled in his arms: "I dreamed that someone was going to kill you... I dreamed that they said you were a traitor..."

Zheng Yunying said: "Don't be afraid, we are far away from the capital and the imperial court now, no one will know us, and... the emperor also said that he will not pursue us anymore, and only said to the outside world that the two of us have taken poison and committed suicide .”

Ding Jiaxing remained silent, hugging his waist even tighter with both hands.

Zheng Yunying thought he was still worried, so she patted him on the back lightly, and said: "Jiaer, it will be fine, trust me..."

At this time, Ding Jiaxing suddenly raised his head, and looked straight at him with a pair of black eyes, which seemed to be sad and angry: "Zheng Yunying, do you not like me?"

Zheng Yunying was taken aback for a moment, and then she couldn't laugh or cry: "How could I not like you? If I didn't like you, why would I still be with you? I like you. I thought you had knew……"

"Then are you still blaming me for using you?"

"Where does this start? When I knew your life experience, I didn't blame you anymore. It's too late to feel sorry for you. How can I blame you?"

Ding Jiaxing became more and more unhappy: "Then you...then you..." As he spoke, his face suddenly turned red, and his eyes were a little evasive, "Then you don't sleep in the same bed with me, and you don't touch me...and say like me……"

He also said: "You are busy every day, but I am like a useless person. I don't need to do anything. You and I, husband and wife are not like husband and wife, brothers are not like brothers... I have been bored in my heart for a long time."

Zheng Yunying lowered her head, seeing his beautiful eyes looking at her with aggrieved eyes, she couldn't help but spoiled and said dumbfoundingly: "What should I do with you... Jia'er, I didn't touch you because of your body Yes, your body is weak, and the place where you were stabbed by the dagger last time can't stand it, I'm afraid that if I share the bed with you, I won't be able to resist touching you, so I avoid you..."

Before Ding Jiaxing committed suicide, he was in a coma for a long time, and it took a long time to be rescued, but his body was weak, and he was able to walk around after healed for a long time. Although he healed up after that, he always got typhoid fever from time to time. Zheng Yunying was afraid, so she tried her best to bear it. Don't touch him.

When Ding Jiaxing heard this, his heart was sweet, and he couldn't help throwing himself into his arms again: "I've recovered a long time ago, and I haven't had a typhoid fever in the past two months. If you don't believe me, just go find a doctor and show me." You, you have been holding back, what should you do if you are suffocated?"

After Zheng Yunying heard these words that were like begging for love, her whole body burst into blood, and her voice became much lower: "Jia'er..."

"Well, I want to be a husband and wife with you... When I was Jin Fenggou, you used to have sex with me every time I came, but now that I have taken off the mask and become Ding Jiaxing, you don't have sex with me , do you think I'm ugly?"

Zheng Yunying lowered her head, seeing her beloved looking at her with big wronged eyes, she couldn't help lowering her head, kissed his long scar lightly, and said: "Jiaer, it's because I want to be with you You are a long-term couple, a lifelong couple, so I love you and cherish you... Husband and wife are not judged by appearance, let alone you are more beautiful than anyone else in my heart..."

When Ding Jiaxing heard this, his heart agitated, he put his arms around his neck, and leaned over to kiss his lips.

He finally understood that it was indeed Zheng Yunying who loved him more deeply, but it didn't matter, he would love him well for the rest of his life.
