In the early morning, the faint sunlight came out from among the leaves, and fell to the ground with a little golden light, and the birds in the forest jumped back and forth, and from time to time let out a crisp chirp.
Some of the more voracious hobbits had already gotten up early and began to prepare their first meal, and the smoke rising from the chimney, blown by the breeze, crept into the morning mist.
What a quiet and leisurely paradise.
Bilbo thought about it all night, and in the end, the desire to protect his home got the upper hand. He didn't want to see such a beautiful charr destroyed by the war, and he didn't want to see his familiar relatives and friends lose their lives in the war.
Didn't wait for Gandalf and the dwarves to leave for a long time, as in the original plot, and then catch up with them in an itch. Early in the morning, Bilbo had already gotten out of bed and began to prepare for the upcoming long journey.
"Pepper~, salt~, tea~, well, and chili, this can't be forgotten~." Although he already knew that he was going to play the role of a spy on the team, Bilbo did not prepare his own baggage like a real agent. All he thought was 'even if you're traveling, you must take care of your stomach,' and before he knew it, he was focusing on the kitchen supplies that he had only recently used.
There were too many things in bottles and cans, and one didn't pay attention to it, so he packed a big bag. Looking at the bulging backpack, and then at the pot and shovel that he hadn't yet put in the bag, Bilbo unconsciously became a little embarrassed.
He wasn't thinking about 'should I put down some things and don't take them with me?' but thinking about 'if I get another backpack, can I carry it on my back', and he can be so persistent, and he really deserves to be an authentic foodie.
"Bilbo~!" Just as Bilbo was scratching his head, a crisp doorbell rang from the door.
"Chu~, you're here. Come on, come on, hurry up and help me figure it out, I have too many things to fit in, and I can't fit ....... β
Bilbo's willingness was just to ask Chu Xiaobai to help carry a bag, or put it on the Black Rose and let it carry it. But he forgot one thing, these things were all taken out of the space by Chu Xiaobai, and if he wanted to make it convenient, he didn't need to put them in his backpack at all, as long as he let Chu Xiaobai take them back into the space.
"Uh~." No, Chu Xiaobai waved his hand and the thing disappeared. Seeing this scene, Bilbo covered his face in annoyance: "Why didn't I remember it~." β
"Hehe, is that all?"
"Well, it's gone, that's all."
As soon as Chu Xiaobai heard this, an expression of 'sure enough' appeared on his face. Shaking his head, he took out a few more things from the space, handed them to Bilbo, and told him: "Bilbo, this trip is not easy, although with my protection, you will basically not encounter danger, but, just in case, you still need to make some preparations." Well, here's my weapon for you, and you're ready to put it away. β
The weapon that Chu Xiaobai handed over to Bilbo was a sharp short knife. The blade of about thirty centimeters, held by an adult of Chu Xiaobai's size, may feel a little shorter, but in the hands of the short Bilbo, it happens to be used in his hand.
"Hmm~." Bilbo took a potato and was trying the knife, watching his movements, Chu Xiaobai held his chin and groaned: "You still need a set of leather armor, it seems that we need to go to the market by the way." By the way, maybe you can ask the dwarves, it would be better if they had a surplus, you are all about the same size anyway, and it should be just right to borrow it. β
Speak of the devil. As soon as Chu Xiaobai's words fell, a dwarf staggered out of the room.
The dwarf's name was Beaver, and he was probably the most special of the thirteen dwarves, including Thorin the Oak Shield. Not because his personality and hobbies are special, but because of his appearance - he actually has an axe stuck in his head.
It was inserted in a battle a long time ago, and it's been at least a few years now. As for why you don't pull it out, the reason is actually very simple - what if you bleed heavily when you pull it out? He didn't look bad anywayβthinking so, the heartless dwarves turned a blind eye to the axe and left it on Beaver's head.
"Good evening~."
Ever since he had an axe stuck in his head, Beaver had become a chattering spirit. Not only does he often talk nonsense, but even in his usual conversations, he only uses ancient dwarven language.
"Beaver, it's morning now." Neither Bilbo nor Chu Xiaobai could understand Beaver's words, but Gandalf was well-informed and knew what he was talking about.
"Morning? Well, it's time to go to bed, I'm going to sleep for a while. Not? No, what was I trying to do? β
It didn't look like he was going to talk to a few people, and he muttered as he walked into the room again. Seeing Beaver disappear at the door again, Chu Xiaobai shook his head with a smile: "Gandalf, I suddenly think that our trip this time should not be very smooth, what do you say?" β
"Perhaps." Gandalf laughed too: "However, with you, it shouldn't be a big problem." Well, I'm much more relieved than I was a few days ago. β
"You're not going to put all the burden on me, are you?"
"No, it's only eighty percent at most~."
While chatting, he continued to prepare supplies, and after a while, Bilbo picked out all the things he wanted to take with him on the road, and when Chu Xiaobai helped him pack these things into the space, the dwarves also got up one by one and came to the living room.
Compared to Bilbo, the dwarves move much more neatly. None of them, including Beaver, who was not quite mentally normal, spent more than ten minutes.
It's time to go.
Coming out after the dwarves, looking up at the rising sun, and then looking back at the hole at the bottom of his bag, Bill stood still for a moment.
"Bilbo, it's time to go~!" I understand Bilbo's mood now, but time waits for no one, and after waiting for a while, Chu Xiaobai still had to greet him.
Hearing Chu Xiaobai's voice, Bilbo lowered his head and stroked the grass in the yard a few times. By the time he stood up, his eyes had become determined.
"I'm coming~." Turning around and running out of the courtyard, Bilbo jumped up 'high' and caught up with the people who had already taken a step.
It's a good thing that his attitude is firm, but what makes Bilbo a little speechless is that his 'firmness' doesn't seem to need to come so early - the first stop after setting off is not the difficult place that Bilbo imagined, but the hobbit market that he often goes to on weekdays - just sorted out his mood, and his mind is full of 'folks, I'm leaving, Maybe I'll never see him again', but just a few minutes later, he met the acquaintances of his life again, and greeted them with their warm greetings, the contrast between imagination and reality was too great, Bilbo was extremely embarrassed, and his face was red, like a freshly boiled crab.
"Bilbo, what's wrong?" I bought a decent leather armor at the market, and by the way, I bought some ingredients for the road. After leaving the bazaar, he found that something was wrong with Bilbo, and Chu Xiaobai asked him in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's just a little nervous." I'm embarrassed to tell the truth, Bilbo can only make an excuse casually.
"Hehe, that's starting to get nervous? Bilbo, you really need to get some exercise. Chu Xiaobai didn't doubt it, but just smiled and complained: "What is really dangerous is the second half of the journey, which is still early." Why don't you train you while it's not dangerous? β
"Didn't you say you didn't have to do it?" It's not that I resist training, it's that I don't want to fight with people. Hearing Chu Xiaobai's words, Bilbo really became a little nervous.
"I'm not going to teach you how to fight, as an agent, the most important thing is the escape technique, and what I want to teach you is the most brilliant escape technique. How about it, do you want to learn it? β
ββ¦β¦ Well, you have to learn. However, let's wait until the time of camping. After all, he was still not interested in combat skills, and unconsciously, Bilbo used the procrastination trick.
The Lonely Mountain is roughly located a little north to the east of the Shire, separated by vast meandering wilderness, towering misty mountains, and vast and dense dark forests.
From Habiton, they must first pass through the East End Forest, cross the Brandy River from the Brandy Bridge, then cross the range of the Old Woods to the town of Bray, and from here they will embark on the Oriental Avenue to their final destination.
When the team was in the Shire area, it felt like they were near Hapiton. The inhabitants of this large area are hobbits, the people are simple, and the roads are very smooth.
As the group walked along, they would occasionally encounter hobbit travelers or farmers on the way.
And during the trip, there are occasionally a few inns for everyone to stay.
In fact, even if you don't have a hotel, you can stay with a hobbit house on the side of the road, and seeing Bilbo as a hobbit and Gandalf with his own charm aura makes people feel good at first sight, most of the hobbits who are already very enthusiastic will be allowed to stay overnight.
All in all, there was nothing uncomfortable about the journey, and in Bilbo's words, 'the adventure was like camping, and it was quite fun'.
In such a relaxed atmosphere, Bilbo became more and more 'lazy', even if Chu Xiaobai took the initiative to mention it several times, he still didn't have the slightest intention of learning escape skills.
If you don't listen to good people, you will suffer in front of you. Finally, Bilbo encounters the first crisis of his adventurous career.
