Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth
Chapter 307 A restless family
On this day, Bilbo said hello to the gardener he hired and brought his most sincere blessings.
"Sam, what a fat boy. He will definitely grow very strong in the future."
Looking at this chubby little guy, Bilbo smiled unconsciously.
But when he looked at the little guy, finished saying his blessings, and was about to turn around and open the door to leave this lively family and return to his own home, he sighed softly for no reason.
Looking at the slightly saggy skin on the back of his hands, Bilbo suddenly realized that he was no longer young.
And now he is still alone, living alone in Bag End.
Bag End is laid back, quiet...and spacious.
Shaking his head and dispersing all these unfocused thoughts, Bilbo returned home and continued to sit in the rocking chair, looking at the scenery and the sun gradually setting on the horizon, and sighed as always:
"The weather is really sunny today."
The Zhuoguo family far away in Brandybridge thought so too.
To say that today was indeed a festive day, a joyful banquet was held in the Brandy Hall that evening. As one of the most prolific hobbits in the area, Zhuo Guo would not miss this event.
So he took his wife and children to the banquet, and the family had a great time eating and drinking.
Twelve-year-old Frodo also had so much fun playing with the other children that as soon as he got home, he was so tired that he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
But Frodo fell asleep, and Drogo and Primula were not sleepy at all.
The couple looked at the clear sky, watching the sun set and the moon rise. Suddenly, an idea came to their mind:
"Let's go boating!"
Zhuo Guo, whose cheeks were slightly red, imitated the poet's tone and said:
"Look, the Brandy River, the moon inside is so beautiful and the stars are so shining. If I could swim on it, it would be a beautiful scene in my dreams tonight."
Apparently, this guy drank a lot at the Brandybridge party.
Coincidentally, his wife also drank a lot.
"Then let's go now!" Primula immediately agreed.
So the two of them left Frodo at home and went straight to the river.
They sang on the boat, laughed on the boat, and danced on the boat.
Then the boat capsized.
"Help!!"
The heart-rending shouts came out, startling several patches of grass.
"What's going on?"
A ranger stuck his head out and looked towards the river.
Another companion with better eyes next to him took a look and stood up immediately: "Someone is drowning, don't be stunned!"
They quickly ran over, plunged into the river, and fished out the two hobbits who were really round and round.
"Fortunately, it's okay."
Looking at the Hobbit couple hugging each other and crying on the river bank after the disaster, the two rangers lay exhausted on the grass, with water drops dripping from their foreheads.
I couldn't tell whether it was the river water or the sweat from exhaustion.
The news that night shocked many people, and the news that Drogo Baggins and his wife fell into the water and almost drowned spread quickly.
You know - this is the Shire, the most peaceful Shire in the whole of Middle-earth. People have a lot of free time. This matter spread to the next town next door almost on the next day.
That is Hobbiton.
"Ships are inherently unreliable. If you just sit on them and don't move, you may get into trouble."
Sam's father, Mr. Gardener Hamfast, made this sentiment when chatting with Bilbo.
"Fortunately there are two gentlemen rangers nearby, otherwise wouldn't Frodo be an orphan at the age of twelve?"
Compared to Hamfast, Bilbo was more concerned about another thing.
"Then this kid is so pitiful."
Bilbo couldn't stop shaking his head at the thought of this possibility.
Fortunately, fortunately this did not happen.
"But this couple is really irresponsible. They are so old that they can actually do something like leave their child alone at home and then go boating."
Bilbo touched his chin and thought to himself.
"No, as Zhuo Guo's cousin, I have to discuss it with him."
As soon as this idea came to him, Bilbo couldn't sit still. Within a few days, he got dressed, took a walking stick and walked all the way to the Brandy Bridge in the east.
To say that Zhuo Guo is really young this year, he is now 72 years old.
Yes, when Frodo was born, his father was already 60 years old, and his mother was 12 years younger than his father.
The couple is now 72 and 60, which is not considered young.
As for Bilbo... he seems to have lived a long life. He is now 90 years old, and he is the oldest in the entire Shire.
But even so, the old man is still full of energy and spirit.
This is simply a mystery.
But no matter how energetic he is, he is still not a young hobbit.
Even Bilbo himself sighed. He actually didn't finish the entire afternoon from Hobbiton to Brandywine Bridge.
In the past, especially the trip to Lonely Mountain, even if Thorin and the others rode off first and walked for half a morning, he would be able to catch up with the expedition team before lunch.
"call--"
At dusk, Bilbo took a deep breath and sat down by the river.
Yes, it's the Brandywine River, where the Drogo couple almost drowned.
After crossing the river, we will reach the stag land, but before that, we should take a rest.
"Help!"
Just when Bilbo sat down, a shout suddenly sounded, and the voice came from far away and seemed to be on the other side of the river.
"What's the noise?"
Bilbo stood up immediately, holding his cane tightly in his hand.
He took two steps forward and squinted his eyes to look over.
This sight made old Bilbo uneasy.
I saw three vicious dogs chasing a child, and they looked extremely fierce, as if they would not go back until they bit him.
The most important thing is that they were chasing no one else, but his lovely nephew - Frodo!
"Child, come this way!"
Bilbo ran across the bridge on the spot and rushed to Frodo's position on the other side of the river.
When he heard this voice, Frodo ran over like a savior and grabbed Bilbo's clothes tightly.
"Uncle, hurry, let's run!"
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
"Don't be afraid, kid!"
Bilbo protected Frodo behind him, raised his stick, and shouted at the three big dogs in front of him:
"Ha! You bad dogs, get out of here, I've even faced dragons, I'm not afraid of you, if you don't want to tuck your tail like a dog, wait, you seem to be a dog, anyway, stay away from me!"
Don't say it, maybe Bilbo really has a certain temperament, the three ferocious big dogs are actually a little afraid, they yelled and slowly retreated, after a stalemate for a while, they turned around and ran back the same way.
"Humph, a few puppies, any enemy I faced back then can scare you to death!"
Muttering, after making sure that the three dogs had left, Bilbo squatted down and checked Frodo's situation.
Looking at it, Bilbo felt a little distressed.
The child's feet were covered in mud, his clothes were torn, and his face was covered in dust, looking very embarrassed.
He was so scared that he was shaking all over and couldn't even stand steadily.
"It's okay, kid, it's okay, tell your uncle what happened?"
With Bilbo's comfort, Frodo finally came to his senses. He stretched out his hand and spread his palm.
There were two mushrooms inside.
"Hiss--"
Bilbo frowned and found that the matter was not simple.
"Aren't these delicious mushrooms produced in Bean Garden?"
"Did you steal mushrooms from Maggot's house?"
Frodo nodded.
"You kid!"
Bilbo nodded his head, looking helpless.
The mushrooms produced in Bean Garden are very delicious and famous throughout the Shire, and Maggot is the owner there. In order to protect those mushrooms, he raised three ferocious big dogs to deal with uninvited intruders.
Although it was a bit unkind for a child to do this, Maggot couldn't be blamed for it.
He was wrong.
"Ah..."
Seeing Frodo trembling and crying, Bilbo couldn't bear to continue talking. He sighed, turned his back, and squatted down.
"Come on, child, I'm going to visit your house, let's go on the way."
So old Bilbo carried little Frodo on his back and walked east all the way.
"Uncle, you just said that you faced a dragon, is that true?"
After walking for a while, perhaps he had slowed down, little Frodo asked curiously from behind.
This question made old Bilbo unable to stop talking.
"Of course, in Erebor, the lost dwarf kingdom, I, Levi, and Thorin, the king under the mountain, faced the dragon that stood taller than a windmill..."
Bilbo was talking in front, and Frodo was listening in the back. He was fascinated by it and began to imagine those scenes.
"Do you know Levi?" He suddenly grasped a key point.
"Yes, didn't your parents tell you that you met? On the day you were born, which was also my birthday, Levi came all the way from Wayside Castle to visit me."
"Wayside Castle, I know - it's where the two rangers who saved my father and mother live!"
When this matter was mentioned, Frodo stopped shaking and began to get excited.
His parents really didn't tell him these things. Today was the first time he knew about the relationship between Bilbo and Levi.
"Can you tell me more of your story, uncle?"
"Next time."
Seeing that Drogo's house was right in front of him, Bilbo put Frodo down and took a breath.
"Oh - Frodo, dear Frodo, where have you been? We are so worried!"
As soon as he got here, a voice approached quickly from far away.
Drogo and his wife ran over together and hugged Frodo tightly.
"Your family!"
Bilbo said with regret.
"Come in, I want to discuss with you what you have done recently!"
