Frodo, Sam, and Gandalf arrived at the Prancing Horse Inn after two days' riding the pony along the Highway.

"Can we have a good night's sleep, Gandalf?" Sam was obviously not used to the long journey, and he missed his old but comfortable home very much.

"Yes, Sam, you can have a good rest tonight. But we have to start early tomorrow morning!" Gandalf handed the horse to the stable boy. "Our journey has just begun, little Sam!"

Gandalf and his party walked into the tavern.Frodo had only heard that there was such a tavern before, and he had left letters to Gandalf here, but in fact he had never been here.

It was full of big people, and Frodo and Sam had to hold their heads high to see what was around them.

The hobbits who managed to walk between the thighs followed Gandalf to the bar. The two hobbits were frustrated to find that the bar was higher than their heads.

Fortunately, the boss quickly noticed the group of them, "Ha, Gandalf, we meet again!" Buttercup leaned forward, "There are two more hobbits! Don't worry, I have special hobbits here." Room! Comfort guaranteed!"

"Thank you, Mr. Butter Daisy, but we would rather have something to eat now. We haven't eaten anything seriously on the way." Gandalf shrugged and took off his hat.

"Of course, you find a place to sit first, and I'll bring it to you right away." The boss agreed, so the three of them went to find a table and sat down.

Sam rushed to get three big mugs of beer, and Frodo took a long gulp and sighed contentedly.Only then did he relax, drinking beer slowly while looking around.

The tavern was very lively, people were drinking beer, chatting loudly, and some people were singing drunkenly.Frodo looked at the crowd with interest, and suddenly, Frodo noticed some unfriendly eyes.

It was at the table by the wall, and a human being was looking at Frodo's company with a dark look.

At this moment, the boss came over with a large tray full of food, blocking Frodo's view.

"That man is not a good guy." The boss said as he served them food. "He always does some unscrupulous things, and he also has dealings with some bad things in the wilderness."

Frodo looked up, and the man had disappeared into the seat.

Frodo put the matter behind him, for he was so hungry that he took the steaming food and ate it.

After the meal, Frodo drank his beer contentedly, and leaned lazily in his chair. This was his second glass of beer, and the beer here was one of the best in Hobbiton.

He saw that the door was pushed open again, and a tall, dusty man came in, with disheveled hair and sharp eyes, and locked on the table where Frodo was sitting at a glance.

He first went to the boss and asked for a large glass of beer, and then walked straight over with the beer.

With a bang, the wooden cup hit the table heavily, and the man pulled out the chair and sat down.

Frodo found that Gandalf was not surprised, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "You are here, Strider."

"The situation outside has changed. I saw that there are fewer orcs, but they are running around passing the news. I'm afraid it's not a good thing." After speaking, the strider picked up the beer and took a big sip.

Seemingly aware of the puzzled eyes of the two hobbits, Gandalf introduced to Frodo and Sam, "He is Aragorn, a native of Dunedain, nicknamed 'Strider', and he will go to Egypt with us. Delon House."

"People often call me an erratic, unwelcome vagrant." Aragorn added, "I will come to watch the night tonight. You two should rest well. The rest of the road is not so easy. We need to speed up."

They got up very early the next day and set off. Before leaving, the boss sent them out and said, "Old Tom the gatekeeper said that someone sneaked out last night, and then someone knocked on the door to ask him in the middle of the night, and the voice was extremely hoarse." , He said that he had never heard such a terrible voice, and felt that his whole body was cold to the bone after hearing it. He just dared not speak clearly, so he asked him to ask elsewhere, and closed the small window for the message Yes, no more talking. The man was still riding, like a black horse, and he left after a while."

Aragorn frowned. These descriptions made him think of something bad. "It seems that we really can't take the road. We'd better get to Eldron's House as soon as possible. Cheer up, hobbits."

Everyone set off quickly on horseback, and didn't stop until noon. It took a short time to eat some dry food, and then continued on the road. They didn't rest until the sun completely set.

The next day was also the same, and it rained in the afternoon, and Frodo was so frozen on horseback that he almost fell straight away when he dismounted.

"Let's light a fire to keep warm, my cloak is soaked." Sam suggested tremblingly, but was rejected by Aragorn, "The light of the fire at night is to point the way for our enemies, I can feel the atmosphere in the wilderness It has changed, and we must be extremely cautious!"

Frodo curled up into a ball as best he could, and barely slept, and he had to rise in the middle of the night to keep watch.

Two days later, they finally reached Eldron House.

This is the home of elves located in the valley. Frodo and Sam were stunned. They had never seen such a wonderful place, not to mention the elves who walked through it as if they were shining.

Frodo walked, his eyes wide open to admire the view, until a small figure suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Bilbo!" Frodo yelled in surprise, rushed up and hugged Bilbo, Bilbo laughed happily, and hugged Frodo back.

"Bilbo, I didn't expect to see you again." Frodo was very happy, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away.

"I have been to many places over the years and met some old friends, but I am old after all. When I found that I may not be suitable for long-distance travel, I decided to find a place to settle down in my old age. Elven Gate welcomes me very much. I also think there is no better place to spend my old age than Bo here. I am still writing a book, and I believe it will not be far from completion." Bilbo looked very relaxed and satisfied, obviously living a good life here with the elves .

"Oh, Bilbo, I'm sure you want to talk to Frodo about your book, but Frodo has been traveling for days and he needs a good rest." Gandalf shook his beard and thrust forward. mouthed.

Gandalf insists that he and Sam need a good rest, though Frodo doesn't think he's tired.So they went to the resting room under the guidance of the elves. Frodo changed his clothes and fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
