Chapter 52: It's harder to walk on a rainy day

The rain was pouring down, the thunder was much quieter, the shack was not a tent after all, and some of the rain would still drip through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the bushes into the shack.

Liu Wei and Tang Ji sat side by side at the entrance of the shack, listening to the soft sound of raindrops hitting the fallen leaves.

"Concubines like rainy days the most." With her legs bent, her body curled up, her chin resting on her knees together, Tang Ji looked at the dark forest outside the shack, listened to the sound of the rain hitting the fallen leaves, and said to herself: "Every rainy day, the concubine always likes to sit in the place facing the door and watch the light rain knock on the ground......"

"My Tang Ji is really a bit of a poet." Liu Wei gently pinched Tang Ji's face, reached out and took her into his arms, looked up at the dark forest outside, and said softly: "The sound of raindrops falling on the ground is indeed very pleasant, and what is even more beautiful is that if they fall in the pond, they will also stir up a circle of ripples." It's a pity that this beautiful scenery is not something we can enjoy at the moment. ”

Hugged in his arms by Liu Wei, Tang Ji's head was nestled against his chest. She didn't speak, just looked out at the night with a pair of beautiful eyes.

From what Liu Wei said, Tang Ji could hear that he didn't like rainy days very much, and was even a little bored. It has been more than a year since I married Liu Bian, and Liu Biao has changed a lot and matured a lot recently.

Although I always feel that Liu Bi seems to be a completely different person, Tang Ji still likes the wise, meticulous, and all-round Liu Bi in front of him, who can consider everything no matter what.

He is more mature, more manly charming, and can easily grab Tang Ji's heart that is in the middle of spring!

Looking at the dark night and listening to the continuous sound of rain in the night, Liu Wei's brows gradually locked. The sound of the rain sounded beautiful, but he didn't like the rainy day, which was enough for literati and writers to express their romantic feelings.

Coming to this era, he was born a warrior. The reason why the warrior lives is not for romantic feelings, but to protect those who are worthy of his protection, so that more people can live.

He had selfishly had the idea of taking Tang Ji back to Yingchuan, living the life of a rich man, and spending his life in ignorance. But this idea disappeared as early as when the villagers of Taojiazhuang were bullied by bandits.

Dozens of men who had been fighting on the battlefield for several years, but who didn't know what they were fighting for or why they were born, defected to him and put their lives and trust in his hands.

The reason why most of the Yellow Turban Army followed the Zhang Jiao brothers to rebel was entirely because they had no way to live, and if they didn't pick up their weapons, they wouldn't be able to eat, they would starve, and they would die!

Since these people choose to follow him, he has the responsibility and obligation to take them to live, at least so that most people can live!

Although rainy weather can erase the traces left by them and get rid of their pursuers faster, it will also bring more trouble for them to walk on mountain roads.

Liu Wei doesn't like rain, at least he hopes that it won't rain for too long.

The two sat in the shack with each other in their arms, looking at the dark night, listening to the sound of the rain, and never said a word to each other.

Not far away, in the shack where Zhou Cang and the group of men slept, there was a deafening snoring sound, listening to the snoring for a long time, Tang Ji covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" Hearing Tang Ji's laughter, Liu Wei turned his head, looked at her with some curiosity, and asked softly.

Tang Ji raised his face and looked at Liu Wei, his long eyelashes fluttered twice, and he replied softly: "With such a loud snoring, I really don't know how those who don't snore can sleep peacefully." ”

"If you can't sleep well, that's not sleepy!" Liu Wei stretched out his hand to help Tang Ji lift the end of the hair hanging on his forehead, and said to her with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Fighting with the officials and soldiers repeatedly, don't talk about them, even I feel very tired." ”

"Husband doesn't snore...... Tang Ji once again snuggled his head on Liu Bian's chest, and said softly: "Sleeping next to your husband, not only can you sleep peacefully, but you don't have to worry about being secretly murdered......"

Tang Ji's words made Liu Wei feel speechless for a while, after experiencing Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, Tang Ji was afraid that all he thought about was waking up one day, and he would be cut off from power, and he would live a precarious life from now on.

"Sleep!" Holding Tang Ji in his arms, looking at the dark night and being silent for a long time, Liu Biancai said to her softly: "I will leave tomorrow morning, and I will get rid of the pursuers, so you and I don't have to worry about being murdered by Dong Zhuo's old thief." ”

"No!" Tang Ji sat up straight, answered gently, then stood up with a bow, bent down to a place in the shack where it would not rain, and lay down on a pile of soft fallen leaves.

When Liu Wei and Tang Ji listened to the sound of the rain and enjoyed the rare tranquility, the other person was not sleepy at all.

Jia Xu leaned against a large tree, sheltered from the wind and rain by the dense canopy. Except for the guard posts in the vicinity, the rest of the officers and soldiers were already asleep, and some even snored.

Looking up at the rainy sky, Jia Xu's brows tightened. For him, this rain is very untimely, if it is on a sunny day, through clues, he can still find the escape route of Liu Wei and others.

But as soon as it rains, all traces will disappear with the rain. Bloodstains, scraped branches, will be washed away by the rain and difficult to identify.

"King Hongnong, what kind of person are you?" With one hand clenched into a fist against his mouth, Jia Xu's two knees were slightly bent, curled up in front of his chest, his brows were tightly twisted, and he muttered silently in his heart: "Even the sky seems to have been watching over you, if there is no rain...... With such a difficult character as you, it's no wonder that Li Wenyou died in your hands that day, and it's no wonder that you can escape from under Lu Fengxian's nose. The prime minister has offended a character like you, and the destruction of the family may only be just around the corner......"

Feeling in his heart that Liu Wei had escaped death several times, Jia Xu sighed softly. At this time, his mood was very complicated, although he was ordered by Dong Zhuo to pursue Liu Wei, but Liu Wei was a royal blood after all, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, chasing and killing the royal family of the Han Dynasty was undoubtedly a great irony for Jia Xu.

As soon as the sky was bright, Liu Wei let go of the arm that was holding Tang Ji, got up, gently patted Tang Ji's arm, and called her: "Wake up, I'm on the road." ”

He guessed correctly, the rain was still falling. The dripping raindrops hit the ground full of fallen leaves, making a soft "popping" sound.

"It's all up!" After waking up Tang Ji, Liu Wei braved the rain to get out of the shack, ran to the shack where Zhou Cang and the others were sleeping, held the top of the shack with one hand, tilted his head to look at the men sleeping in the shack, and shouted inside.

As soon as he shouted, the sleeping men quickly opened their eyes and sat up. The seriously injured who were sleeping in the middle of the men also opened their eyes, and when they looked at Liu Wei, their faces showed a little gratitude.

"Yuanfu, use the leather armor you tore yesterday to cover the injured brothers." Bowing his head and explaining to Zhou Cang, who was sitting in the shack and rubbing his eyes, Liu Wei turned around and walked towards the shack where he and Tang Ji slept last night.

The rain was not heavy, although there was a canopy overhead, and after walking back and forth between the two shacks, Liu Wei was still drenched.

"Don't rush out just yet." When he arrived at the shack, Liu Wei waved his hand at Tang Ji, who had already gotten up and was bending over to come out, and when Tang Ji stopped and looked at him with a confused expression, he straightened up and looked at Zhou Cang, who was holding a pile of torn armor.

"Yuanfu, throw two pieces to me!" Seeing Zhou Cang, Liu Wei beckoned to him.

Zhou Cang answered, handed most of the crusty flakes to the man on the side, and he himself took two slices and ran towards Liu Wei.

After taking the thin slice, Liu Wei only took a brief look and knew that these leather armor Zhou Cang were not torn by hand, but picked up little by little with a sword.

In order to enhance the protective power of leather armor, the leather armor worn by officers and soldiers is made of multiple layers of leather interlaced with combined armor, and the leather strips connected in series are picked apart, and each piece of leather armor can be torn into at least four or five single pieces of cowhide.

Although the protection of this leather armor is not as good as that of iron armor, its weight is much lighter than that of iron armor, so it is the most commonly used protective gear in the official army.

As for the official helmet seized by Liu Wei and others, it was inlaid with a layer of leather, which made Liu Wei feel a little surprised.

He always thought that the helmets were made of pure iron or bronze, but he didn't expect that during the Three Kingdoms period, people had learned how to wrap relatively soft leather inside hard iron or bronze helmets to reduce the damage to the head caused by external collisions.

Holding two pieces of cowhide in his hand, Liu Wei beckoned to Tang Ji, who was standing in the shack.

Seeing him beckoning, Tang Ji walked out. As soon as she got out of the shack, Liu Wei took one of the pieces of leather and put it on her head and said to her, "Put this on your head." ”

Tang Ji obediently held the leather on top of his head with both hands, and blinked twice and looked at Liu Wei with big eyes.

Liu Wei walked around behind Tang Ji, put another piece of leather on her shoulder, stuffed the leather into her collar with his hand, and then stretched out his hand to Zhou Cangyi and said to Zhou Cang, "Give me the leather strip for sewing clothes." ”

Zhou Cang's face was suddenly full of embarrassment, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed and said to him: "Back to Mr., the pimps have been cut off by a certain ......"

Hearing that the strips of leather had been cut, Liu Wei didn't say anything more, he lowered his head and untied the armor and jacket on his body, and tore a piece of linen from the clothes in the lining.

Fastening the leather with a long linen cloth, pulling it from Tang Ji's armpit, and tying a live buckle on her chest, Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction and said to Tang Ji: "That's it, no matter how heavy the rain is, it won't wet your whole body." ”
