Since hearing some specious words from Chu Xiaobai's mouth, Old Tuke's heart has never been steady. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the Grand Leader of the Hobbits, he not only loves the peaceful life he has now, but is also worried about the future of other Hobbits.

was afraid that Chu Xiaobai's 'prophecy' would happen in Charles, so in order to get more accurate information, he always came to Chu Xiaobai's house every once in a while to ask him for news.

Facing the worried old Tuke, Chu Xiaobai really didn't know what to say, and in desperation, he had no choice but to say with a package ticket, 'There will definitely be no accident on Charles's side, at most it is the starting point of a journey', which is almost like revealing the mystery.

After that, old Tuke was a little more relieved.

However, before it was completely confirmed, the old Tuke was still not completely at ease. I still come to Chu Xiaobai's house often, but the frequency is slightly less than before.

This time, Old Tu Keyou came to the door of Chu Xiaobai's house.

"Huh?" shouted a few times in a row, but I didn't see Chu Xiaobai come out and open the door. On closer inspection, the black rose that was supposed to stay in the stable was gone. Old Tuke's face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Is it at Bilbo's house? With this in mind, Old Tuke went to Bilbo's pit again. Coincidentally, Bilbo wasn't even at home either, and there was a strange symbol on the door of his house.

Finally feeling that something was wrong, Old Tuke found Baburu, and after some inquiry, he got some news - it seems that someone came to look for Bilbo yesterday, and in the morning, someone saw Bilbo and Chu Xiaobai running out of the village on the black rose together.

Maybe it was going to a small town around it, or maybe it was something else, Babulu took it for granted that the two didn't go far, just a temporary trip.

However, Old Tuke has already understood that Chu Xiaobai and Bilbo have already embarked on the so-called 'journey'.

………………………………………

Turn back the clock by a day.

As usual, early in the morning, Bilbo came to Chu Xiaobai's house. After watching the whole process of Chu Xiaobai's breakfast, and after enjoying an authentic Chinese breakfast, he returned to his home, and began to prepare his second meal of the day according to the process he had just seen.

The smaller stove flickered deftly in Bilbo's hand, and there were a few tapping sounds between the spatula and the wok colliding, and in a short time a few tempting-looking pancakes were steaming on the plate.

Looking at his work, Bilbo smiled smugly. After preparing the sauce for seasoning and the vegetables to add flavor, he took his plate to his favorite small table, and while enjoying the warm morning sun, he picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat.

"Buckle buckle ~~." At this moment, there were suddenly several soft noises on the wooden door.

The delicious food was right in front of him, but he couldn't take a bite of it right away, and for Bilbo, who was becoming more and more famous as a foodie, this situation was somewhat upsetting him.

Putting down the chopsticks, he reluctantly glanced at the pancakes on the plate, and then Bilbo came to the door with a dissatisfied face: "Who?" ”

"Bill Bo Baggins, remember your old friend?" Upon opening the door, Bilbo saw an old man with a beard that was almost to his belly. Before he could identify the other party's identity, the old man was very familiar and greeted him, and squeezed in through the doorway, which was a little shorter than his height.

Disturbing the meal had already made Bilbo very dissatisfied, and now he was uninvited, and for a while, Bilbo became more and more dissatisfied with the old man in front of him.

"Wait a minute! Who are you? How did you just get in? ”

"Well, you still haven't changed here." Instead of answering Bilbo, he looked at the room to himself. Look here, touch there, and after almost half a minute, the old man half-squatted and half-sat down on a small chair: "Bilbo, have you forgotten?" We used to be very good friends. ”

"Before? I don't remember having a friend like you~. "I think about the memories of the past few years, and I really can't remember such a person among my friends. Bilbo looked dissatisfied, once again.

In the end, it was a kind and kind hobbit, if it had been a human, he would have said 'I don't welcome you here, please let me out' by this time.

"What a sad answer." No longer selling the guanzi, the old man finally revealed his identity: "It seems that I have to introduce myself again." I'm Gandalf, and we've met since you were little. Well~, it should have been twenty years since we last met. How's that, remember? ”

After the time limit of 'twenty years' was spoken, Bilbo finally found some impressions in his memory. While recalling the slightly vague content, while comparing the person in front of him, after a long while, Bilbo's expression finally changed from wariness and resistance to joy and happiness.

"Gandalf, it's you, I remember~! It's been a long time. It's been 20 years, where have you been? Why haven't I been here....... ”

Be kind enough to strangers you don't know, let alone when it comes to friends. Remembering Gandalf's identity and recalling the scene when they first met, Bilbo's enthusiasm suddenly exploded, and his face was full of big smiles.

"Come on, come on, you're just in time, I just made something to eat, let's taste it together." I can assure you that this is definitely a good thing you've never eaten anywhere else~. ”

"That's what you said the last time you recommended tobacco to me."

"But in the end, don't you still like our tobacco?"

"......, I admit it. Well, it looks like I really can't miss it. ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the small stool that Bilbo had moved over, looking at the pancakes on the plate and the dipping sauce on the plate, Gandalf really showed a curious expression: "How do you eat this thing?" ”

"So, so, and so ~." If it were anything else, Bilbo might not have been so active, but he was always so persistent when it came to 'eating'. Inadvertently, he showed a good teacher.

Whether it was the chopsticks in Bilbo's hand or the way to eat the pancake cabbage dipping sauce, Gandalf had never seen it before. While learning Bilbo's movements, he couldn't help but be a little curious: "Bilbo, what are those two sticks in your hand?" Tableware? And this food, where did you learn it? Well, it tastes pretty good....... ”

"It's not called a stick, it's called chopsticks, and it's said that in the very, very far East, there are many people who use it instead of knives and forks." Hearing Gandalf's inquiry, Bilbo became more and more proud: "In addition, this food is called pancakes, and what I make now is only the simplest one, and the other more complex ones I haven't learned yet." But don't worry, if you're willing to stay a little longer, give me some time to learn and practice, and I'm sure I can make those more complex and delicious pancakes ....... ”

"Uh~, forget it." Hearing Bilbo's words, 'Stay longer,' Gandalf remembered that he hadn't come here to visit a friend, but for some other purpose. That didn't wait for anyone, and he didn't have time to stay in Hobbiton and enjoy Bilbo's craft.

There is no need to beat around the bush when dealing with enthusiastic hobbits, hesitate for a few seconds, swallow the pancake in his mouth, and Gandalf got down to business with Bilbo: "Bilbo, I came here today because I actually want your help with something. Perhaps, you have ever heard of Lonely Mountain? ”

"Lonely Mountain?" Bilbo shook his head, "Haven't heard of it. ”

"What about Smaug?"

"I know that. It's an evil dragon, right? I've heard people say, well, no, I think I've seen it in a book. After recalling for a while, Bilbo nodded: "By the way, what are you telling me about this?" Do you want to go with me to slay the dragon? ”

"Cage Uniform, yes."

I just wanted to make a joke, but I didn't expect the other party to nod with a serious face. Thinking that Gandalf was talking serious nonsense, just joking with himself, Bilbo couldn't help but laugh: "Hahahahaha, Gandalf, you are really joking~~!" Hahahaha~~! A hobbit, slaying a dragon? Hahahaha~! ”

"No, Bilbo, I'm not kidding. Listen to me, the specifics of this matter are like this....... ”

Far to the east, there is a bustling dwarven kingdom called Irub, which is home to the dwarves and is one of the most powerful in the dwarven kingdom. There was an endless amount of gold in the city of Irub, and as the dwarves continued to dig for ore, they eventually discovered a glowing gem. Because of its beauty, the king made it a king's jewel and called it the Akon Jewel.

All the kings in the vicinity came to worship, including the great king of the woodlands, Serlandui.

However, during his trip to Irub, Thranduil stumbles upon a former treasure—a necklace that Thranduil has asked the dwarven craftsman to make for his wife.

Why the necklace remained in the hands of the dwarves is unknown.

Thrandui claimed that the dwarves had taken the necklace for themselves out of greed. However, the dwarves said that Thrandui refused to pay the proper payment, so he kept the necklace as compensation. Each insisted on its own opinions, but did not bow to each other, and since then, there has been a rift in the relationship between the two tribes.

Irub's endless gold attracts the equally gold-hungry dragon Smaug, who burns down the nearby human city of Riverdale and captures Irub.

On that day, Thranduil was also present. Thorin, the grandson of Thor the King of the Mountain, asked for help from the elves, but Thrandui was unwilling to sacrifice his own people to help the dwarves and turned away.

The dwarves have lived in no fixed place ever since, and even Thorin has become a blacksmith.

"The story is good, but isn't it between a dwarf and an elf? What does it have to do with Smaug? Could it be that Thorin and the dwarves want to fight back Irubour? And, even if they had that idea, what did it have to do with me? Why did you come to me? ”
