Chili sniffled, "Smells good, can I taste a piece?" ”

Xu Feng smiled and shook his head, "Not yet, I have to wait until the cold is over, but don't worry, you will have to eat when the time comes." ”

Thorin frowned slightly, "Can this thing be eaten?" Hmph, I think, let's prepare something more in the dwarf style. ”

Xu Feng smiled and didn't refute anything.

Next, he was busy chopping vegetables and drying them, and then with condiments and jerky, he packed the cut instant noodle pieces.

In this way, when it is time to eat, tear open the package, pour out the seasoning and jerky, soak it in hot water, and then it is ready to eat.

In the wild, dwarves make fires and cook for at least an hour, while Xu Feng's instant noodles only take three minutes from tearing the package to eating the first bite.

Bilbo walked up to Xu Feng, "Diedi, is it really edible what you made?" ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Of course, when we hit the road tomorrow, you can taste it." ”

Bilbo smiled wryly in embarrassment, "I...... I'm not going. ”

Xu Feng smiled: "What, are you afraid of death?" ”

Bilbo hurriedly said, "No! I'm not afraid of death, it's just that I'm not related to the dwarves, and my own life is very comfortable and happy, so why should I risk my life? If it were you, you wouldn't. ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Bilbo, I won't say anything about the big truth, I just want to ask you one question." ”

Bilbo nodded, "You ask, Diedy." ”

Xu Feng smiled faintly: "Aren't you boring? ”

Bilbo was stunned, "I'm ...... I have money, and I can buy whatever I want. ”

"But, the Charles is so big, and the hole at the bottom of your bag is so big, and you live every day eating, sleeping, and eating, don't you feel bored?"

The expression on Bilbo's face moved slightly, "...... It's not boring, it's not boring at all, I can, uh, look at the books left by my ancestors, I can also wipe down the furniture left by my ancestors, in short, I'm not bored at all. ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Well, since you yourself don't feel bored, since you like this kind of idle life, then I don't have anything to say." ”

Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart grew more and more uncomfortable.

Xu Feng's question is very fatal.

In fact, he was boring, and not in general.

He didn't want to live this kind of mediocre life anymore, but he didn't have the courage to break this comfortable life.

Xu Feng smiled and patted Bilbo on the shoulder, "If you're bored, then you might as well join us, your ancestors are legends, don't insult your ancestors' bloodline because you are greedy for comfort." ”

After saying that, Xu Feng turned around and left, and went to work on instant noodles.

He knew that there was no need to say a lot to persuade Bilbo, the key was to rely on Bilbo to figure it out himself.

According to the plot, when the dwarves leave, Bilbo will think it through.

So, Xu Feng didn't worry about anything.

Of course, if by the time they left the Shire, Bilbo hadn't caught up with him...... Xu Feng will use kidnapping methods to forcibly kidnap Bilbo.

The quest requires that both Bilbo and Thorin be present when finding the Palace of the Lonely Mountain, and that they must be alive.

Therefore, if Bilbo really doesn't participate, Xu Feng can only use the strong one.

The dwarves' preparations are also being carried out in an orderly manner.

In the evening, the dwarves spontaneously made a table of food to thank Bilbo for his hospitality over the past two days.

Bilbo felt guilty, but when he heard that all the food was bought in his name, the guilt in his heart was gone.

After eating and drinking, the dwarves went to bed early, and the expedition to the Lonely Mountain was about to begin, and they had to recuperate.

Bilbo sat in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, and couldn't sleep.

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

The two thoughts were in a fierce confrontation in his mind.

It wasn't until the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the lattice on his face, that he realized that the hole at the bottom of the bag was empty.

Everything was in order, like no one had ever come.

He was covered with a thick blanket and the floor was wiped clean.

They're gone!

Bilbo panicked.

When the dwarves were still there, he felt that he had no choice but to take the risk, but when the dwarves left quietly, Bilbo realized that in his heart, he was actually very eager to take the risk!

Bilbo quickly got up from the couch, put on his coat as fast as he could, and grabbed the satchel he was carrying.

This satchel was a special expedition bag he had prepared many years ago, but he had made several determinations, but he couldn't get out of the Shire area.

Now, this satchel has finally come in handy.

After wearing it urgently, Bilbo ran all the way, completely indifferent to his status and politeness.

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

"Good morning, Lord Baggins, I'm here to collect yesterday's ......"

"Wait until I'll get back!" Bilbo shouted as he ran.

"Where are you going, Master Baggins?"

"Lonely Mountain!"

"Where is the Lonely Mountain in the Shire? Well, so when are you coming back? ”

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

The merchant who collected the debts opened his mouth wide in horror as he watched in disbelief as Bilbo's figure completely disappeared in front of them.

Bilbo ran wildly, his fitness was good, and his big feet were perfect for running, so that in less than half a vanishing time, he caught up with the dwarves who were riding on their ponies.

"Wait for me!" Bilbo shouted, "I'm coming!" I'm coming! ”

The dwarven team then stopped.

Thorin turned back in surprise and looked at Bilbo with a slight frown.

Bilbo smiled and said, "I'm here, I've figured it out, I'm going to have an adventure with you!" ”

Thorin said in a deep voice: "Mr. Baggins, although you have figured it out, I still want to tell you that this journey will be very dangerous, we all have the possibility of death, and the dwarves are not obligated to protect you. ”

Xu Feng smiled, "Don't worry, I and the hammer will protect you." ”

Bilbo smiled happily, "Diedy, I don't want to live a boring life anymore!" I'm going on an adventure with you! ”

"Excellent, Bilbo!" Whitebeard Balin pulled out the unsigned contract, "Please sign it." ”
