As the green-painted round door was slowly pushed open, a short and somewhat aged figure slowly walked out.
Even if Bilbo in the original book lived to be more than a hundred years old, he only looked like a man in his fifties or sixties, because the Supreme Lord of the Rings had the effect of prolonging his life, but now, it is gone. With the One Ring in hand, Bilbo looks much older than in the original book.
"My old acquaintance? Who is it?" Bilbo walked out, his eyes looked cloudy, and his eyes naturally passed Frodo and landed on Dongfang Yu.
Looking at Dongfang Yu, Bilbo was obviously taken aback, and there was a look of doubt, bewilderment and thought in his cloudy old eyes.
My old acquaintance? But looking at Dongfang Yu, especially seeing Dongfang Yu's young appearance, Bilbo felt surprised, why didn't he know this person? But looking carefully, Bilbo felt that he looked a little familiar again, as if he had seen this person somewhere.
"Bilbo..." Standing at the door of Bag End, looking at Bilbo standing in front of her, Dongfang Yu felt very moved.
At that time, I was accidentally transported to the plane of Tianlong Babu by a plane elevator, and I was completely unprepared. This Hobbit plane can be said to be the plane that Dongfang Yu came to for the first time on her own initiative. .
Standing here now, how similar is this situation to when I first stood at the gate of Bag End Cave? It's just that Bilbo looks much older than he used to be.
"Sir, who are you?" Because of his height, Bilbo looked up at Dongfang Yu. After thinking for a long time, Bilbo couldn't figure out who Dongfang Yu was, so he asked directly.
After all, the two of them only met once decades ago. It would be really strange if they could still remember Dongfang Yu.
"Eh? Uncle Bilbo and this gentleman don't know each other?" Hearing this, before Dongfang Yu could answer, Frodo next to him asked strangely. Didn't this gentleman say that he was an old acquaintance of Uncle Bilbo? ? Why doesn't uncle know him
"It looks familiar, but I can't remember it. Forgive me for being old and my brain is not working well." Hearing this, Bilbo shook his head and said, a little self-deprecating.
"Yes, you are indeed a lot older." Hearing this, Dongfang Yu also nodded, and said with emotion. During the speech, Dongfang Yu saluted very politely and said, "Hello, I am from the far east. Adventurer, I'm a little hungry, can you give me some food?"
Dongfang Yu's words came out as if traveling through time and space. Back then, when Dongfang Yu and Bilbo met for the first time, they also stood here and uttered almost the same words. Time and time...
"You...you are...", sure enough, the words of Dongfang Yu came out, and the adventurer in the far east immediately made Bilbo react. When he looked at Dongfang Yu carefully, Bilbo's eyes widened, and his words were a bit awkward for a while. stuttered.
The appearance of Dongfang Yu overlapped with the person deep in Bilbo's memory at this moment, and the vague figure that had long been forgotten back then also became clear at this moment.
"After decades, I didn't expect that I came to your house again. I have to say it's fate, no, it should be said that it's God's will." Looking at Bilbo's appearance, he obviously recognized himself, Dongfang Yu said with a smile.
According to fate, this plane does not seem to exist. Dongfang Yu then changed his words and said that it was the will of the heavens, which was obviously easier to understand for Bilbo.
"Mr. Dongfang? Is that you? Unexpectedly, decades have passed, and you are still so young. Are you a wizard?" Looking at Dongfang Yu's young face, it seems that he is more mature than Frodo in appearance. It's not that big of a deal, Bilbo couldn't help saying in amazement.
The lifespan of human beings is not long, except for wizards. After decades, Dongfang Yu still looks so young and in full bloom. No wonder Bilbo suspects that he may be a wizard.
"No, no, no, I'm not a wizard, otherwise how could Gandalf and the others not see it?" Hearing this, Dongfang Yu smiled and shook his head and said, and then continued: "By the way, Mr. Bilbo, after so many years We will meet again, will you let me stand at the door and talk?".
"Oh, that's right, Mr. Dongfang, please come inside, quickly..." Hearing Dongfang Yu's words, Bilbo realized that he had left her at the door of his house. Inside my own house.
Dongfang Yu bent down and lowered her head, and walked into Bilbo's house through the green-painted round door.
Although it is Bag End, it does not have the damp and cold feeling of a cave at all. On the contrary, it makes people feel comfortable and warm. The living environment is really good. Of course, this house is still too big for Dongfang Yu. It's a little shorter, and if one doesn't pay attention, his head will still bump into the lamp hanging on the ceiling.
"Frodo, hurry up and prepare your lunch, well, prepare a rich one, this is a distinguished guest!" After sitting down, Bilbo turned his head and said to Frodo beside him, and emphasized that he was a distinguished guest. .
"Okay, Uncle Bilbo," Frodo nodded and said, but he was surprised. It seemed that this guest was really an old acquaintance of Uncle Bilbo's, and he just came from the far east. Adventurer
What did Uncle Bilbo call him? Mr. Oriental? East? Could it be because he came from the far east
Dongfang Yu sat down with Bilbo. Although Bilbo was old, his adventure factor was integrated into his bones, and it was not easy to disappear. So after sitting down, Bilbo couldn't help asking Dongfang Yu a lot about him. Interesting stories on the adventure road, and even asked Dongfang Yu and Sorin carefully about their adventure trip to the lonely mountain.
Although the events of that year have already been transformed into countless versions by bards and circulated in the Middle-earth Continent, but what happened back then, of course, it is necessary to ask Dongfang Yu, the person concerned, to know, right
Back then, Dongfang Yu told Bilbo adventure stories because of her storytelling experience in Tianlongbabu. , Dongfang Yu told Bilbo a story again. After experiencing so many planes, Dongfang Yu naturally saw more interesting things.
In modern society, people can watch TV, surf the Internet, and there are many entertainment activities, but in this plane, listening to stories seems to be the best entertainment activity. Bilbo was beaming with joy, as if his whole being was attracted by the adventure story told by Dongfang Yu.
"Uncle Bilbo, Mr. Oriental, lunch is ready..." When Frodo prepared a table of sumptuous lunch, Bilbo was still immersed in the wonderful story of Oriental Jade, looking back, surprised Said: "What? It's already ready? So soon?".
Immersed in the wonderful story and didn't know the passage of time, Bilbo thought that Frodo was lazy, so he prepared some casually, but he looked at his pocket watch and looked at the sumptuous table. To reflect the passage of time.
"Mr. Dongfang, your experience is really wonderful." After inviting Dongfang Yu to sit down, Bilbo said with envy in his eyes. Such an expression was almost the same as back then.
"I told you a long time ago that wonderful adventures are not in stories, not in other people's mouths, but at your own feet. You should go out for a walk yourself." Seeing Bilbo's appearance, Dongfang Yu said .
Bilbo is indeed adventurous in his bones, but it is a pity that because he has stayed in Shire for many years, he is like a flower in a greenhouse, and he is instinctively afraid of the outside world.
"It's a pity, I'm old and I can't walk anymore." Hearing Dongfang Yu's words, Bilbo's expression darkened a lot, and he said, yes, when he was young, he was afraid of going out and the outside world, but now, he I want to go out for a walk, and my age is too old.
"Let me tell you the truth. Back then, Gandalf and the others invited me to the Lonely Mountain, and I thought you knew it. But if Gandalf hadn't invited me back then, he would definitely have invited you. If you were braver, really If you are willing to go out, you will definitely be able to create your own legend, perhaps, my reputation today is what you were able to obtain back then."
Seeing Bilbo's gloomy expression, Dongfang Yu thought for a while and said.
These words are true. If he hadn't been involved in this plane, Bilbo's experience would have been extremely exciting. Even in the original book, Bilbo faced the fire dragon Smaug alone, and entangled with words, which is Dongfang Yu's favorite. The bridge is over.
The Supreme Lord of the Rings has changed hands several times in the plot of this plane, but the person who can really resist the erosion of the Supreme Lord of the Rings for many years and voluntarily give up it, in Dongfang Yu's view, is only Bilbo Baggins...
"Can I do it? Can I do it?" Hearing this, Bilbo's eyes widened, and he said with some surprise and anticipation, if he had the courage to go out, he would be able to get the same honor as Mr. East. experience
"Okay, I absolutely believe it." Hearing this, Dongfang Yu nodded seriously without the slightest hesitation.
"etc… ".
Listening to the conversation between Dongfang Yu and his uncle, Frodo became more and more surprised. At this time, he finally came to his senses and exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Dongfang, you participated in the trip to the Lonely Mountain that year. You? Are you the legendary dragon slayer Dongfang Yu?”.
