Chapter 40: Your grandfather was still a child

Gandalf smiled: "Okay, then I'll call you Hammer, by the way, Hammer, you're also a mercenary, right?" ”

Iron Hammer glanced at Xu Feng, and then nodded heavily, "Yes, I'm with this...... Dee, we're in this together. ”

Every time he called Xu Feng's name, the hammer had to resist the urge to take out the hammer and smash the walnuts.

Gandalf smiled: "Haha, great, it just so happens that the subjects I commissioned this time are all dwarves, and I am more worried that the dwarves will reject you people, but since you have dwarf blood and dwarf surnames, then this is easy to do." Let's go, let's get in the car first and go to Emin Berrell together. ”

"Okay."

Maple and Hammer got into the carriage, and Gandalf "drove" it, and the carriage galloped away in the direction of the main road.

At this time, it is the morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is full of life.

As you get closer to the Emmingberry area, the more hobbits there are, the livelier the environment.

When the little hobbits saw Gandalf, they greeted him happily.

"Gandalf! Long time no see! ”

"Gandalf! Come and be a guest at my house! ”

"Welcome to our Antler family, Gandalf!"

Faced with such enthusiasm, Gandalf had to slow down the carriage and say hello to the hobbits one by one.

"Haha, Truby, it turned out to be you, the last time I came, you were still a slug, and now you are married and have children!"

"Mata, it looks like you've finally chosen to marry Bobby...... Uh, and Pochi, well, have a happy, happy life to the three of you. Gandalf said with a sincere face.

"But I can't eat at your house, I would like to ask, where does Beladona Tuke's son live?" Gandalf asked.

"Beladonna has two sons, which one are you asking?"

“…… The one who hasn't gotten married yet. Gandalf said with a shrug.

What he has to do this time is to give up his family, and it is difficult for a hobbit to give up this kind of family affection when he gets married and has children.

"Oh," the enthusiastic hobbit laughed, "and the elder brother, Lord Bilbo Baggins, is now 50 years old, and although the hobbit generally lives to be 100 years old, and 50 years old is only a young man, there are very few hobbits who are not married by the age of 40." ”

Gandalf laughed, "Yes, I'm looking for Bilbo Baggins, please tell me where he lives." ”

"Lord Bilbo Baggins lives in the very center of Amyin Berry, and you see a lonely mansion with a big bag bottom, and that's his home. But, Gandalf, I remind you that although you are good friends with her mother, Mrs. Beladona Tuke, Bilbo has not inherited his mother's enthusiasm at all, and how to say that Bilbo is an outlier among us hobbits, and he rarely goes out and does not welcome us to his place, which is not the case with us hobbits. ”

Gandalf smiled, "Thanks for the reminder, but I'm still going to look for him." ”

"Then please, if he refuses you, please come back to my house, and we will treat you and your friends well." The hobbit said politely, with a look in his eyes that made it unbearable to refuse him.

Gandalf said to his heart, "I will, my old friend." ”

With that, Gandalf flung the reins and urged the horse slowly through the streets.

"Bilbo, this kid, is so unsociable." Gandalf took a sip of charr tobacco and said with a smile, "I remember he wasn't like that when he was a kid, but it doesn't matter, he has the blood of the Tuke family, and he will love this journey." ”

The carriage moved slowly, and it didn't take long for them to reach the heart of Emin Barrell.

Within a kilometer radius, there is only one pouch bottom pit built against the hillside.

There is nothing around the hole at the bottom of the bag, the land is level, not to mention weeds, not even turf.

Hammer smiled: "This Bilbo, really a rich young master, actually bought such a large piece of land in such a prime location, and then built a house, if he really wants to isolate himself from all the hobbits, then he should move into the deep mountains and old forests." ”

Xu Feng corrected: "First of all, Bilbo is not a young master, his parents are dead, he inherited a huge amount of property from his parents, as well as almost half of the tobacco planting farms in the southern district, and he is 50 years old, he can be called a master." ”

"Okay." Hammer shrugged.

At this time, the wooden door of the hole at the bottom of the bag opened, and a little man dressed elegantly came out, holding a slender pipe, and a local newspaper of the day under his arm, and walked on the delicate wooden plank of the porch with his bare hairy feet, and made it to the round table of the porch, ready to read.

The hobbit looks very similar to a human, and can be understood as a miniature version of a human, but only the big feet are different from a human.

The feet of a normal human are 20-30 centimeters long, while the feet of a hobbit can reach 30-40 centimeters long.

They weren't tall, but their feet were bigger than humans.

Such big feet naturally look ugly in appearance, but such feet walk silently and are extremely comfortable.

Ordinary people will be uncomfortable walking two or three kilometers, but even if a hobbit walks thirty kilometers, it is as brisk as if he has only walked thirty meters.

They are small in stature and have little physical burden, and they can walk like a fly, even faster than horses, and they have more patience.

This is probably one of the few racial talents of the hobbits.

"This is Bilbo, right?" Hammer asked quietly.

"It should be." Xu Feng said lightly.

Bilbo's actual age is 48 years old, but for a hobbit, 50 years old is equivalent to 25 years for a human.

Because the hobbit is small, it consumes less energy and has less burden on the heart and kidneys, so it has a relatively longer lifespan than humans.

However, they are not as good as the elves after all, and the elves only live a thousand years like a year, and the hobbits can only live to be 120 or 130 years old.

Bilbo put down the newspaper in his hand and frowned at the uninvited guests standing on his territory.

"Good morning."

He was a hobbit after all, and hobbits were very polite at all times, even if Bilbo didn't want to see these strange people in front of him at all.

and carriages.

Gandalf smiled: "Bilbo Baggins, it's been a long time, probably yes, I think about it, 40 years, right?" At that time, you were still a little bit! ”

Bilbo's face became even more impatient, "We know each other? ”

Gandalf said, "I am good friends with your mother, Beladona Tuke, and I am good friends with your grandfather, Tuk the Longevity, and speaking of your grandfather, he is amazing, and I saw this when your grandfather was a child. ”
