What the two said, everyone didn't know, and they didn't need to know, just looking at the faces of Thorin and Gandalf leaving, they knew that the conversation between the two must have been very unpleasant.
Bilbo patted Lan Ze's leg and asked Lan Ze with a confused expression, "Will Gandalf come back?" β
Lan Ze shrugged his shoulders and looked at Bilbo with disdain: "I'm not familiar with him!" β
Just kidding, how does Lan Ze know if Gandalf will come back? In between, the time for Lan Ze and Gandalf to meet together is not more than an hour!
Bilbo looked embarrassed: "Well, actually, Gandalf and I don't know each other well. β
In the evening, it was still dry dry food and sticky vegetable soup, but after these days of exercise, Bilbo had become accustomed to this kind of day, and of course sometimes Bilbo would miss his hobbit hole, miss his dinner, although there was no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but at least it was not as difficult to swallow as it is now.
There was nothing to say all night, the next morning, the sky was still gray, the sun had not yet risen, and a bright moon was still hanging in the western sky, but everyone had been called, this was an adventure not an outing, it was impossible to wait until the sun rose, everyone was slowly eating and preparing to leave, the early morning time was very precious, and it was also the most difficult time of the day to encounter the attack of wild beasts.
Breakfast was still sticky vegetable soup and hard bread, these days, eating this thing every day, Bilbo was already a little sick to his stomach, but there was nothing else but these, the dwarven cook, the fat dwarf with red hair, Pombo gave himself two bowls of soup, and asked Bilbo to help give it to Fili and Chili, who were guarding the horses, because they were guarding the horses, so they could not come over to eat.
It's nothing, usually Bilbo does it, but today Bilbo is in trouble, and it's not really a problem.
At this time, Bilbo is not a qualified snitch, and Bilbo still has a lot to learn, so Thorin ordered Fili and Chili to be optimistic about everyone's horses, which are the main means of transportation for everyone's adventure along the way, otherwise it is obviously difficult to walk from Charles to Lonely Mountain with only two legs, of course, Lan Ze, a guy with a perverted physique, does not count.
There were a total of sixteen horses in the team, but this morning, the two were shocked to find that two horses were missing, apparently the two did not take care of the horses last night, and when they were secretly sleeping, the horses were stolen by some strange creature, which is normal, no one will really stare at the horses honestly all night.
The horse is lost, this is a very serious matter, without the horse, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to go to the lonely mountain on foot, Bilbo strongly recommends that the two of them, in the face of this kind of thing, the right choice is to tell Thorin, but obviously Fili and Chili do not intend to tell Thorin, although they say that they don't want to worry Thorin, but in fact, the idea in their hearts is that they don't want to be scolded, after all, this matter was given to the two of them by Thorin.
Following the trails around them, the trio spotted the uprooted trees around them, which made Chili and Fili and Bilbo feel a little uncomfortable, and through the violently destroyed path, the three of them vaguely saw a flash of fire.
Through the light, the three of them saw three huge guys.
These were three huge ogres, more than ten meters long, one palm taller than a hobbit, in the center of the three ogres, there was a raging bonfire, behind the ogre, in a dirty fence, two ponies shaking their limbs restlessly.
Fili and Chili glanced at each other, and there was a vague exchange in their eyes, and now there were two choices in front of the two of them, one was to tell Thorin about this matter, and let the queen let the large army come, and the three ogres were not something that the three of them could deal with, but the problem was that Thorin would know that he didn't do his job well last night, and the two of them would definitely be scolded by Thorin!
And another option......
The two looked at Bilbo, each other's eyes conveying a message.
"He's a snitch?"
"Yes, he's a snitch!"
"The snitch should be able to steal the horses back, right?"
"Probably can, right? He's a snitch after all!! β
After some exchange, the two brothers made a decision, and Bilbo was pushed out by the two dwarves.
Seriously, if he could, Bilbo really didn't want to face three ogres with a body length of more than ten meters by himself, knowing that the short hobbit was like a fragile little bug in front of a huge ogre.
However, at the instigation of Fili and Chili, Bilbo walked over in a tangled way. The dwarf told Bilbo that ogres were tall and powerful, but they were not without weaknesses, they were very clumsy, they were slow, and they had problems with their eyesight, as long as they were careful, they had no problem.
This is good news, looking at the confident eyes of Fili and Chili, Bilbo believed, that's right, Bilbo naively believed what the two dwarves said!
If it was Lan Ze, Lan Ze would definitely say, you two dwarves are not much older than me, why don't you go yourself? And something so important, why not tell Thorin? Thorin is the leader of this team.
These Bilbo didn't think that this guy was as naΓ―ve as ever and as easy to deceive as ever!
Carefully hunched over, Bilbo slowly infiltrated the surroundings of the three ogres......
On the other hand, Bilbo went to deliver food to Fili and Chili, which was normal, but half an hour later, Bilbo hadn't come back yet, so it was a bit unscientific!
Because the horses are afraid of the flames, the horses are generally far away from the place where everyone rests, of course, although it is far away, but it is not too far, it is only a minute or two away, from the place of rest to the place where the horses are guarded, the distance back and forth will not exceed three minutes, maybe Bilbo and Filip and Chili are chatting so it was delayed for a while, but now thirty minutes have passed, and Bilbo has not returned, which is a little abnormal.
As time passed, Lan Ze and the dwarves gradually sensed that something was wrong.
One by one, they hurriedly walked to the place where the horses were guarded, and sure enough, as soon as they reached this col, they immediately found that the sixteen horses were missing two horses, and there were still traces of a large amount of destruction around them.
Following the traces left by the ogre, the group of dwarves led by Lan Ze and Thorin embarked on the same path that Bilbo and the three of them had taken before.
At the same time, Bilbo was also caught by the ogre as a handkerchief because he was too close to the ogre.
"What is this?" The short ogre frowned and looked at Bilbo in his hand, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes: "Damn, boss, look what this is, it came out of my nose, damn it, he's still moving!" I hate this kind of thing!! With that, the dwarf ogre threw Bilbo to the ground, although this ogre was the smallest of the three, it was still more than ten meters long, and it was still a giant for a hobbit!
The ogre leader on the side frowned, looked at Bilbo on the ground, and his deep voice was like thunder: "What are you?" Could it be a large squirrel? β
Bilbo, who was thrown on the ground, pulled the viscous liquid on his body, felt a wave of nausea, and his face was twisted together because of disgust: "This is disgusting, I'm a snitch, no, I'm a hobbit!" β
"The Snitch Hobbit? Is it OK to eat? The short ogre looked at his boss, licked his lips, pointed at Bilbo and asked, for ogres, there is nothing more important in this world than having a full stomach.
"I don't know, but we can try!" The ogre leader looked at Bilbo, and a trace of appetite flashed in his eyes: "Looking at his appearance, he seems to be very fat and juicy, unlike the farmers we caught before, those farmers are dry and very thin, except for bones or bones!" β
Looking at the three ogres who had already begun to discuss whether they were good or not, Bilbo felt that this feeling was simply terrible!
"But he's too small for me to eat." The short ogre looked at Bilbo, who was still sticking to his snot, and measured it with his fingers.
"No, maybe we have a lot of Snitch Hobbits around us," a flash of greed flashed in the ogre leader's eyes, and his huge palm reached out to Bilbo: "Haha, tell me, Snitch Hobbit, those Snitch Hobbits around are there." β
Looking at the outstretched palm, Bilbo dodged with a dexterous dodge, but the end was already doomed, and in the face of the three ogres, Bilbo was finally arrested. (To be continued.) )
