Chapter 40: The Hobbit

"Chirp chirp—"

Bursts of crisp birdsong came into Xiao Yechen's ears, and after a short period of darkness, Xiao Yechen opened his eyes and looked around, he found himself on a forest path. A little sunlight shines through the gaps in the trees, filling with the warmth of the early morning.

"System, what kind of world is this?" Finding that he was in safety, Xiao Yechen asked in his heart.

"Ding, the world is being searched - the search is complete, this world is the world of hobbits."

"Ding, the quest is triggered, and the quest in this world is as follows:"

Mission 1: Join Thorin's Adventure Party.

Mission 2: Obtain the Akon Gem and give it to Thorin.

Mission 3: Slay the dragon Smaug.

"It's this world!" Xiao Yechen frowned a little, he had watched all three Hobbits, but the interval was a little long, and he couldn't remember many of the details of the plot in it!

"I don't know what this place is, and I don't know where the timeline goes. But according to the mission, I think the plot hasn't started yet! After thinking about it, Xiao Yechen walked along the path, planning to find someone to ask about the situation.

After walking for more than an hour, Xiao Yechen finally walked out of the woods and was greeted by a beautiful village full of poetry. With its clear streams, turquoise hills, and the sound of laughter and laughter in the fields, it is truly a beautiful and harmonious paradise.

Suddenly, Xiao Yechen's gaze stayed on the halfway of those small hills, where there were one small gate after another, and there was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence outside the door.

This scene made Xiao Yechen feel very familiar, "Here... Could it be the Charles? ”

Passing by a small courtyard on the edge of the village, Xiao Yechen saw a woman who looked like a dwarf but had a pair of huge feet drying clothes.

"Hello ma'am!" Xiao Yechen greeted.

"Good morning outsider!" Woman smiling in return.

"Excuse me, is this the Charles?"

The woman smiled and replied, "Yes young man, this is Charles, are you lost young man?" ”

"Sure enough!" Xiao Yechen was secretly happy in his heart, and continued to ask: "No, ma'am, I'm here to find a person named Bilbo?" The Hobbit of Baggins, do you know where he lives? ”

"You say Baggins! He lives on the hill to the west, and you see, the highest kangaroo hole is his house! The woman said as she pointed to a small hill not far away.

Following the direction, Xiao Yechen saw the kangaroo hole on the small hill at a glance.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Yechen thanked the woman and walked straight along the path towards Baggins' cave.

More than ten meters away from the kangaroo hole, Xiao Yechen saw a young hobbit sitting on a bench on the side of the road, holding a peculiar pipe in his mouth, and spitting smoke rings with a comfortable face.

"Good morning!"

Seeing Xiao Yechen walking towards this side, the young man greeted warmly.

"Hello friend, I'm an adventurer from the East - Xiao, I came to the Shire for the first time after a long journey, and I have run out of food and drink, I wonder if I can buy some from you?" Looking at the very familiar hobbit in front of him, Xiao Yechen asked kindly.

"Adventurer? Do you say you're an adventurer, sir? Hearing that Xiao Yechen was an adventurer, the young man suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly invited Xiao Yechen into the house, and brought all the food and drink to the table.

"Mr. Shaw, my name is Bilbo Baggins, you can call me Baggins, can you tell me about the outside world and your adventures?" Sitting at the table, Baggins watched Xiao Yechen eat and drink, and asked curiously.

Adventures? Facing Baggins's curiosity, Xiao Yechen smiled, "Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you some interesting things about the Far East!" ”

Immediately, Xiao Yechen told Baggins a lot of some of the stories he knew. After listening to Xiao Yechen's story, Baggins was amazed, "Mr. Xiao, those animals you said will really become man-eating monsters?" And is there really a god in the sky? ”

Faced with Baggins's question, Xiao Yechen didn't answer, but asked tentatively: "What, Baggins, if you're interested, you can try to get out of the Shire and feel the outside world by yourself, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"No, no, no!" Baggins shook his head when he heard this, "I can't get out!" Hobbits are never far from their caves, let alone venturing out! At home I have afternoon tea, cheese and bagels every day! Once out of the Shire, there's nothing! ”

"Uh... Well, I'm sorry my friend Baggins, the outside world is really beautiful, it's a shame you don't go out and see! I'll be in the Shire for a while, and if you're interested, I'll take you outside! ”

After speaking, after thanking Baggins for his hospitality, Xiao Yechen got up and prepared to leave, before leaving, Xiao Yechen left a mirror as a reward.

Sending Xiao Yechen away, Baggins immediately returned to the house, holding the mirror given by Xiao Yechen and exclaiming: "Oh my God, this is incredible, it's like magic!" The beard and pores can be clearly seen so finely, this is definitely a treasure mirror! ”

And after Xiao Yechen left the kangaroo hole, he came to the hotel in the small town of Shire, and exchanged a mirror for half a year's right to board and lodging.

Temporarily staying in Charles, Xiao Yechen visited Baggins' house from time to time, because of his good-natured friendship and well-informed conversation, Baggins had a good impression of Xiao Yechen, an oriental adventurer, and was happy to make friends with him.

came and went, under Xiao Yechen's deliberate movement, the two slowly became good friends, Xiao Yechen often came to Baggins' house as a guest, and he also came up with some interesting things from time to time to amaze Baggins.

Time passed slowly, Xiao Yechen had been in the charr for a month, and during this time, he had been looking for news of the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, and at the same time asked the villagers around Baggins to help pay attention.

Finally, one afternoon, Xiao Yechen was wandering around the town, and a young man selling vegetables in the market suddenly called out to him: "Mr. Xiao, please wait, the Gandalf you are looking for has appeared!" ”

"What? Badan, you say Gandalf showed up? Do you know where he is? Xiao Yechen was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know about this, Mr. Xiao, I just saw him talking to Baggins this morning!" Bardan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know where Gandalf was.

"Talk?" Xiao Yechen raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Could it be that you are here to find Baggins to join Thorin on his adventure?" Well, that's probably the case, and it looks like I'm going to have to check it out tonight! ”

After thanking Baldan, Xiao Yechen was not in a hurry, and continued to wander around until the evening, when he came to Baggins' house with two fresh fish.

Xiao Yechen's arrival made Baggins very happy, welcomed him into the house, made a sumptuous dinner with fish, and the two chatted while eating food, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
