legend begins with lord of the rings

Chapter 21: The Passion of the Hobbit (1)

After taking a serious look at Bilbo Baggins Thorin, who was running over with only his legs, he waved his hand and said to the dwarf behind him:

"Give Mr. Baggins a pony and we'll go on our way."

The team continues to set off.

"No, no, no~

Thank you, there is no need, I can keep up with you on foot.

I'm the best at vacation hiking.

You know, I walked to Frogmorton's Frog Hill..." Bilbo was very confident in his own footwork. When Thorin asked him to ride a horse, he resisted and chattered.

Mainly because he can't ride a horse.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing such a "cute" side of Bilbo, the dwarves laughed heartily.

You must know that their destination this time has a total distance of several thousand kilometers, and they cannot reach it with just two legs.

Thorin accepts Bilbo to join the team, then he becomes a companion of the dwarves.

Kili and Fili rode beside each other, and took Bilbo's arm and put him on a small pony.

Bilbo sat on the little pony and closed his mouth. He grabbed the reins nervously and straightened his back. His movements were very stiff. It could be seen that he had never ridden a horse.

"Relax, Bilbo.

You will get tired after a long time like this. Clamp the horse's belly with your thighs slightly, but don't use so much force on your waist...

You must learn to adjust your posture according to the pace of the horse." Yarborough held the horse rope and retreated to the middle of the group, and explained to Bilbo the key points of riding a horse.

Bill learned quickly, and after mastering the key, he was already successful.

"Hey, Dwalin, pay." Kili shouted happily.

When Bilbo learned to ride, Kili approached Dwalin.

A small money bag was thrown into Qili's hand, with only a few dozen copper coins in it. Although the money was not much, it made Qili feel that his trust had been reciprocated.

"And my...

Haha, Dwalin, don’t forget,” the fat Pangbo also shouted happily to Dwalin.

There were also a few other dwarves who also got a small bag of coins. This made Bilbo a little curious. He seemed to have missed something.

"What are they doing?" asked Bilbo.

"Oh, they made a bet before whether you would follow." Abel explained.

"What about you? Have you placed a bet too?" Bilbo stared into Abel's eyes, as if he wanted to get the answer he expected.

"Bilbo, you have to believe that you are a lucky star.

You think so, Thorin." Abel did not give the Hobbit a direct answer, but shouted to Thorin in front of him.

Without looking back, Thorin waved and threw out a money bag. Then he took out another and threw it to Gandalf beside him.

Abel happily reached out to catch the money bag, weighed it habitually, and then put the money bag into his arms.

"We all choose to believe you, Bilbo." Gandalf received the money bag and turned to Bilbo and smiled.

Bilbo got the answer he was expecting and felt a little touched.

"Mr. Bilbo, you made me lose a bag of money." Balin also said with a smile, took out a money bag and threw it to Heili: "Here you go, big guy."

Everyone was walking in the mountains. Although the sun had risen at this time, the temperature was still a little low.

Bilbo was wearing a red "dress", and his nose became sensitive when the wind blew him, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

He touched his body, looking for a handkerchief to wipe his nose. But because he was leaving in a hurry, he didn't take the handkerchief with him.

Then, he felt around his body and realized that he had forgotten all his money, hat, cane and handkerchief.

"Wait~

Wait, stop~" Bilbo shouted loudly.

Everyone looked over, wanting to know what happened.

"We must go back, and I have forgotten my handkerchief," said Bilbo.

The dwarves looked at him speechlessly, and Abel also shook his head. Bilbo is still too immature now, even though he is fifty years old.

"I have it here, I'll give it to you..." Bofur, who was wearing a hat, tore a piece of cloth from his tattered clothes and threw it to Bilbo.

The hobbit subconsciously took it and saw that it was a yellowed rag in his hand that could not be removed from his nose. He wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Thorin.

"Keep going~"

Everyone arrived at the town of Stickwater on the edge of the Shire, which is an important area for entry and exit from the Shire. Most of the people living in the town are Hobbits.

The Green Dragon Tavern is located on the waterside road here. There is a green dragon painted on the signboard at the door.

After Abel's observation, he found that this town had more than 1,000 residents and nearly 2,000. He originally wanted to see if there was any chance to gain some popularity here. As it turned out, the dwarves were very efficient, so they bought some dry food and were about to hit the road.

Abel could only let Heili carry the smiley face banner and play a few explosive songs at the Dragon Tavern. This could leave an impression on the people of Bangshui Town.

Now Abel is still in his infancy and wants to seize every opportunity to become famous. No matter what method he uses, he is willing to give it a try as long as it can increase his popularity.

After replenishing supplies, the dwarves continued on their way.

Walk through the grass and climb over the hills.

The group of people has been walking in the wild for nearly a month, and the team has been traveling smoothly without encountering any enemies.

On this day, when it got dark, everyone walked out of the forest and came to the mountains. The dwarves found a cave and decided to spend the night there.

After running all the way, everyone was tired and tired. After eating dry food, the dwarves laid out carpets and lay down on the spot.

Bilbo gnawed on the dry and cold food, which was a bit difficult for him to accept, and he couldn't help but think again of his house in Bag End, where there was hot food.

This is the nth time on this journey that the hobbit has felt homesick.

After taking a few more bites of dry food, Bilbo sat down on the blanket and leaned against a stone in frustration, looking toward the innermost part of the cave.

There, Abel ate soft cooked food and drank a glass of milk.

There is a saying that goes well: Happiness is often the result of contrast. Of course, misfortune is also the result of contrast.

After Abel was full, he took out two huge sleeping bags from his purse and handed them to Hei Li, one for two people to lie down side by side.

The position chosen by Heili should be slightly outside, surrounding Abel, so that he could protect Abel at any time.

During this time, Heili grew up a lot and learned to watch people's emotions. His physique also became stronger, giving people a more wild feeling.

Not long after he lay down, the dwarves began to snore loudly. Abel took out earplugs and gave Heili a pair.

"Damn...damn...this happens every day."

In the middle of the night, Bilbo was about to have his head exploded by the snoring. He got up and quietly walked out of the cave, feeling that his head was a little clearer. When he came to his little pony, he took an apple from his pocket and fed it to it.

During this time, he and the little pony have developed a relationship, and they are somewhat dependent on each other. This horse also has a cute name, Little Xiangtao.

At this time, there were roars of beasts from the other side of the valley. Bilbo was frightened, and he turned around and saw that the dwarves were also sitting up.

"What is that?" Bilbo came back and asked fearfully.

"It's an orc," Kili replied.

Fili saw that Bilbo seemed to be scared, and planned to tease him, so he said playfully: "Yes, they are orcs. They are everywhere in the forest at night. They like to attack suddenly when people are sleeping. Give people

Bringing wails, screams and blood..."

"That's enough Fili, shut up~" Thorin stood up, the orc's roar reminded him of some bad past.

He walked out of the cave with a heavy heart and looked into the distance.

"Orcs are our biggest enemies. In the Moria War, only Thorin led us to defeat them..." Balin told the dwarves about the grudges between dwarves and orcs, and how Thorin defeated Azo.

grid.

When the young dwarves heard about the brutality of the Moria war, and heard that Azog had his arm cut off by Thorin, they all looked at Thorin Oakenshield in admiration.

"What happened to Azog in the end?" Bilbo asked curiously.

At this time, Thorin came back: "A long time ago, the old injury recurred and he died."

After speaking, Thorin walked into the cave, lay down on the blanket and closed his eyes to sleep.

When the cave became quiet again, Bilbo still couldn't sleep. He was worried and scared.
