In the evening, the dwarves spontaneously cooked a table of delicacies to thank Bilbo for his hospitality in the past two days.

Bilbo felt very guilty, but when he heard that all the food was bought in his name, the feeling of guilt did not exist in him.

After eating and drinking enough, the dwarves went to bed early. The expedition to the Lonely Mountain was about to begin, and they had to recharge their batteries.

Bilbo was sitting in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, so disturbed that he couldn't sleep.

His blood cried out to him for the adventure, but his hobbit reason told him that he should be at ease.

Two strands of thought were fighting fiercely in his mind.

It wasn't until the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight fell on his face through the sills, that he realized that Bag End was empty.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, as if no one had ever been there.

And his body was covered with a thick blanket, and the floor was wiped clean.

They're gone!

Bilbo panicked for a moment.

When the dwarves were still there, he felt that he couldn't make a choice, and didn't know whether he should take the risk, but when the dwarves left quietly, Bilbo realized deeply that in his heart, In fact, I am very eager to take risks!

Bilbo quickly got up from the sofa, put on his coat as quickly as possible, and took his shoulder bag with him.

This satchel was an expedition-specific bag that he had prepared many years ago, but he had made up his mind several times, but he couldn't get out of the Shire area.

Now, this satchel finally comes in handy.

After he was dressed urgently, Bilbo ran all the way, not caring about his status and manners at all.

The hobbits on the road took off their hats to salute Bilbo, and Bilbo passed them by like a gust of wind before they could greet him.

"Good morning, Master Baggins, I have come to collect yesterday's bill."

"Wait for me!" cried Bilbo, as he ran.

"Master Baggins, where are you going?"

"Lonely Mountain!"

"Which district of Shire is Lonely Mountain in? Well, when will you come back?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it will turn into the ashes of the dragon! Hahahaha!" Bilbo shouted excitedly.

The merchant who collected the bill opened his mouth wide in horror, watching Bilbo's figure completely disappear in front of them in disbelief.

Bilbo ran wildly, and he was in good shape, and his big feet were good for running, so that in less than half the time he was gone he overtook the procession of dwarves on their pony horses.

"Wait for me!" cried Bilbo. "I'm coming! I'm coming!"

The dwarves stopped immediately.

Thorin turned his head in surprise, and looked at Bilbo with a slight frown.

Bilbo smiled and said, "Here I am, I have figured it out, and I want to take an adventure with you!"

Thorin said in a deep voice: "Mr. Baggins, although you have already figured it out, I still want to tell you that this journey will be very dangerous. We all may die, and the dwarves have no obligation to protect you. .”

Xufeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I and Hammer will protect you."

Bilbo smiled happily and said, "Diddy, I don't want to live a boring life anymore! I want to go on an adventure with you!"

"Excellent, Bilbo!" Whitebeard Balin took out the unsigned contract. "Please sign here."

Chapter 881 The World Is Before Your Eyes

Bilbo took the contract, signed his name without even looking at it.

Balin accepted the contract, verified it, and then smiled with satisfaction, "Welcome, Bilbo Baggins, you are already a member of us."

Thorin said grimly, "Find him a pony to ride on."

"Pony?" said Bilbo hastily. "No, no, I can walk by myself. I don't need to ride a furry thing like that."

Before he finished speaking, Kili and Fili set it up from the left and right sides respectively, and then put it on the back of a small pony.

Bilbo protested strongly, "I don't want to ride, it's uncomfortable. I'd rather walk on my own feet, and I can keep up with you."

Thorin said coldly: "Bilbo, I don't doubt your ability, but our journey is very long, so we must save our energy."

Bilbo sighed helplessly, "I suddenly started to regret it, may I turn back now?"

Sorin said coldly: "No, you have already signed the contract. If you leave now, you will betray our Oak Shield tribe. Our entire Oak Shield tribe will become your enemy."

Bilbo twitched his tongue, "Well then, let's go with it."

Gandalf drove the carriage to his side with a smile, "I'm glad you can come, Bilbo, it seems that I believe you are right."

Bilbo smiled helplessly: "I don't know why I did this, it's so unlike me."

Gandalf said with a smile: "No, maybe, this is the real you, the one you haven't even realized, the real you."

At this time, Sorin at the front of the team took out a bag of gold coins and threw them to Xufeng at the back of the team.

Xufeng took the money bag and put it in his pocket without humility.

Immediately afterwards, Qili, Feili, Ouyin, and Ouli also reluctantly took out their money bags and threw them to Xufeng.

"What are they doing?" Bilbo asked suspiciously.

Gandalf took a sip of Shire tobacco and said with a smile: "They just used you to bet on whether you can come. The swordsman Didi said you would definitely come, Thorin and the others said you would definitely not come. Now, Didi They won, Thorin and the others lost."

Bilbo asked curiously: "What about you, did you win or lose?"

Gandalf laughed and said nothing.

After a while, Dwalin threw a bag of gold coins at Gandalf, and Gandalf put it away without hesitation.

Although lesser gods don't need gold and silver treasures, it is always a very happy thing to win chips.

Just as Bilbo was about to express his gratitude, his nose itched and he sneezed several times in succession.

"I'm allergic to this horse hair." He took out his pocket, and then his face changed drastically. "No! No! Wait! Stop! Turn back! I have to go back!"

Gandalf asked quickly, "What happened?"

Bilbo said loudly, "I forgot my handkerchief! I have many handkerchiefs, and each handkerchief is thrown away after use, so I need to bring a lot of handkerchiefs, and they are embroidered with the Baggins emblem." Handkerchief! I must go back and get it!"
