In the plot of the original book, Bilbo did have the idea of quitting - after quietly leaving Rivendell behind Gandalf's back, Thorin once scolded Bilbo on the way for being a burden, and it happened that Bilbo missed his hometown very much at that time, so after the dwarves broke into Goblin Town and were captured alive, he took the opportunity to leave the team.
It was during that solo operation that Bilbo got lost and entered a cave, where he picked up a ring.
As we all know, that ring is the One Ring that originally belonged to Gollum. When Bilbo gets the ring, Gollum appears in front of him at the same time.
One wants to get his ring back and kill enemies who covet his treasure, while the other wants to find a way out of the cave. Bilbo and Gollum make a bet that they will decide the winner through a riddle match, if Gollum wins, he can kill and eat Bilbo, and if Bilbo wins, Gollum tells him how to get out of the cave.
In the end, Bilbo uses his brains and cheats to outsmart Gollum.
However, Bilbo forgot to return the ring to Gollum when he left, or rather, after winning the gamble, he had actually taken the ring as his trophy and never thought of returning it to Gollum.
Because of Bilbo's departure with the ring, Gollum can't help but attack him. In the struggle, Bilbo accidentally put the ring on his finger after he fell, and at this point, he was surprised to find the ring's stealth effect.
Perhaps it was because the effect of the ring was so miraculous that it once again stimulated the curiosity factor in Bilbo's heart; Or maybe he felt that he couldn't ignore the dwarves; It is also possible that when he left the cave, he happened to meet Gandalf and the dwarves he rescued, and subconsciously followed. In short, after receiving the Ring, Bilbo once again joined the expedition and resumed his duties as a secret agent.
Knowing that Bilbo had been born in the center of the journey, Chu Xiaobai really didn't expect this moment to come so early.
Shouldn't you have survived the trolls first, and then after Rivendell, this will happen?' What's going on now? While listening to Bilbo's nagging, Chu Xiaobai couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and began to ponder the reason.
In fact, the inside story is not very difficult to analyze, but after a little pondering, Chu Xiaobai probably guessed some context.
In the original plot, why did Bilbo persist until Thorin spoke disrespectfully to him? Before that, he had never wavered?
If you think about it, it's not necessarily. It's more likely that Bilbo felt that it was too dangerous for him to leave alone, so he had to follow the dwarves head-on.
Of course, his curiosity and anticipation of the adventure journey is also one of the reasons that motivates him to keep going.
And now? After adding the variable of Chu Xiaobai, many situations have become different.
As early as when he set off, Chu Xiaobai had already made it clear that the reason why he joined the expedition was not to help the dwarves, but to take care of Bilbo, an old friend.
Even if he doesn't say it, Bilbo will definitely have the thought in his heart, 'If I leave, Chu will leave with me', so he won't have to worry about his safety after leaving the dwarf.
It was also because of Chu Xiaobai that Bilbo's mind was scattered to 'learn cooking'. The curiosity and anticipation of adventure are not as strong as in the original plot, which is also one of the reasons why he is easily shaken.
'Is it all because of me?' ’
Thinking that after Bilbo left the team, he might not have a chance to find the cave where Gollum was, and it was very likely that he would miss the biggest goal of this journey, the One Ring. Chu Xiaobai couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
How to save Bilbo's mind is the top priority at the moment.
Fortunately, there is also Gandalf, the master of mouth cannons, and finally there is no need for Chu Xiaobai to work too hard - a few persuasions, especially when Gandalf says, 'If you leave now, then, ten or twenty years from now, when you think about this matter again, will you regret today's decision?' After that, Bilbo's intention to go was finally not so determined. 【】
"Don't worry, Bilbo, I'm here, I'm okay~." Hurriedly striking while the iron was hot, Chu Xiaobai patted his chest and made a promise again.
Bilbo was silent and didn't speak for a while, but from his expressions, Chu Xiaobai and Gandalf had already made a judgment - for the time being, Bilbo should not ask to leave again.
After resting for the night, early the next morning, the expedition was on the road again.
On this day, as in the original story, they encountered the three trolls.
But the slight difference, perhaps because of the speed of the journey, or perhaps because of the slight difference in the choice of route, the expedition did not encounter a sneak attack from the trolls after camping at night, but passed by the door of the cave where the trolls lived in broad daylight.
As a matter of common sense, trolls that don't see sunlight (trolls are petrified when exposed to sunlight) will certainly not leave the cave in broad daylight, and they will not even make it to the cave entrance. In other words, if you just pass by the entrance of the cave, the expedition team should not encounter the trolls hiding in the depths of the cave.
However, all common sense is not as powerful as Bilbo's protagonist aura.
As a voracious hobbit, Bilbo suddenly proposed to take a break for lunch, but the expedition was temporarily halted due to the support of Gandalf and Chu Xiaobai. Then, it was Bilbo who suddenly came up with the idea that there might be mushrooms in the cave, and he dragged Chu Xiaobai into the cave together.
In this way, the trolls, who were supposed to be missed, reappeared in front of the expedition.
"Damn, Bilbo, I just said don't walk around, you don't listen, it's okay~~!" After encountering the trolls, Chu Xiaobai immediately clamped Bilbo under his armpit and ran out of the cave. As he ran, he couldn't help but complain about Bilbo.
"Run~, Run~! They're catching up~~! "Where can Bilbo still care about arguing with Chu Xiaobai? Rumbling footsteps came from behind him, and he was almost scared to pee.
Fortunately, Chu Xiaobai's skills are extraordinary, and Ling Bo's speed of micro-steps is not something that the trolls' two long legs can catch up with. Eventually, the two escaped from the cave before they could be overtaken.
The trolls did not dare to touch the sunlight, and could only shout in the shadows at the two who had escaped from the cave. Because of the shape of the cavern's horns, their already loud roars were amplified once again, and became more and more terrifying.
The dwarves who were resting all heard the movement coming from the cave, and at the same time saw the scene of Chu Xiaobai escaping with Bilbo in his arms. When Chu Xiaobai threw Bilbo on the ground and threw him all over the grass clippings, the dwarves had already surrounded him and asked about the situation.
"Don't mention it, we met three trolls in the cave, if it weren't for the fast running, Bilbo would definitely have been eaten by them by this time~."
"Trolls?" A few of the dwarves were clamoring to clean up the trolls, and unlike these manic dwarfs, Gandalf's expression was much more serious: "Chu, are you sure it's a trolls?" Moreover, is it still three-headed? ”
"That's right." Chu Xiaobai nodded: "Didn't you just describe that thing to me a few days ago?" Although I didn't look very closely, but now that I think about it, it should be the trolls you said. ”
"Let's get out of here~!"
At night, trolls are no longer threatened by the sun and can leave their caves to go out and about. If you don't leave quickly, you will definitely become the target of the trolls. Comparing himself and the gap between the dwarves and the trolls, Bilbo didn't think that his men could deal with those three terrifying monsters.
"Nope." To Bilbo's surprise, Gandalf shook his head: "Even if you leave now, it's already too late." ”
"Why?"
"Trolls have a keen sense of smell, and they can easily catch up with the scents we leave behind. Moreover, they are very fast, and even if we set off now, we should not be able to escape their tracking. ”
"What then?" Bilbo was dumbfounded.
"You still need to ask, of course it's face-to-face with them~!"
"That's it, strong dwarves are never afraid to fight~~!"
"Bilbo, you're such a coward~! If you want to run away, I don't want to run away~~! ”
The dwarves liked Gandalf's analysis, and in an instant, they were all armed, and they all took a posture of eagerness as if they had been beaten with blood.
"Then let's fight~." Chu Xiaobai also nodded. If he hadn't had Bilbo by his side just now and needed to take care of himself, he wouldn't have turned around and fled.
After all, trolls can only attack physically, and both in terms of physique and attack methods are very close to the trolls of the Harry Potter plane. Once faced the siege of several trolls at the same time, and in turn cleaned them all up, then, when facing the trolls, Chu Xiaobai had no reason to weaken his momentum.
"Chu, why do you even say that~." Bilbo became more and more helpless.
"Hehe, I wouldn't want to fight them if I could, but you heard Gandalf. Isn't it? Chu Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders: "That's it, let's fight later, you stay in the camp, anyway, the trolls won't come out, it's still safe here." ”
Truth be told, Bilbo really wanted to nod. However, as a hobbit, he still can't watch his friends fight while he does nothing. After hesitating for a while, Bilbo gritted his teeth: "No, I'm going with you too." I'm not good at head-on combat, but maybe I can help ...... in other ways. ”
