Start with the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 12: The story starts here

   The contract the dwarves gave to Morgan was provisionally drawn up.

   Bilbo’s contract was drawn up in advance because Gandalf had said it at the beginning.

   But because Morgan joined, Bilbo's commission has been modified to some extent.

   The commission originally promised to Bilbo was one-fourteenth of the total revenue, but it was temporarily changed to one-fifteenth.

  And Morgan’s commission, because the dwarves can’t make more money temporarily.

   So, like Bilbo, it became one fifteenth of the total revenue.

   As for why the total number of the team is 16 people, but only 15 people participate in the revenue sharing.

   Morgan didn't know and didn't ask much.

   When Thorin Oak Shield solemnly handed over the provisional contract to Morgan.

   After reading it quickly, Morgan simply signed his name at the last sign.

   Bilbo is the opposite, after reading all the terms of the contract.

   hesitated at the final moment of signing.

   to him, a hobbit who hasn't been too far from Hobbiton since he was born.

   Leave your warm home, leave delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, and leisurely and comfortable bag bottom hole.

   It really takes a lot of courage to rashly participate in a dangerous, hard, and dirty adventure.

   Finally, Bilbo shook his head and said that he needed to think about it before returning to his room.

  At this time, it was not only Morgan who saw that Bilbo had no intention of participating in adventure.

   Gandalf saw it too.

   So, as soon as Bilbo walked with his front foot, Gandalf followed with his back foot.

   At this time, the night is already dark.

  The dwarves who had been making trouble for a day also began to yawn.

   Tomorrow, I will get up early in the morning.

   Bilbo’s bottom hole is too small, but there is no extra bed.

  Dwarves only have to hit the floor or find a way to sleep by themselves.

   Fortunately, it’s still summer at this time. The weather is hot and it doesn’t matter if you sleep on the ground.

   Morgan sat on the bench and slept all night while lying on his stomach at the dining table.

   Early the next morning.

   Morgan woke up and saw a group of dwarves ready to go on the road.

   After a simple wash, Morgan led the dwarves to prepare a pony with stronger endurance and higher load for this trip.

   The horses of both he and Gandalf yesterday have been disposed of.

   Morgan led the horse to the side of Gandalf who was watching the sunrise with his cigarette in his mouth, and asked, "Will Bilbo go?"

   "Why, do you think Bilbo is unwilling to leave?"

   Gandalf turned his head, looked at Morgan and asked.

   "Um...that's not the case."

   "I just think it takes a lot of courage to let an ordinary person leave everything he has now and take risks with us."

   "Of course, I believe you more, Gandalf!"

   Looking at Gandalf's thinking eyes, Morgan patted Gandalf on the shoulder and smiled.

   Bilbo hasn't gotten up yet.

   Thorin Oak Shield was not prepared to wait any longer.

   The dwarves have cleaned up everything they messed up in the bottom hole of the bag yesterday.

   The group rode a pony and left Bilbo's home.

   Of course, the contract that I gave yesterday has been kept.

   As long as Bilbo is willing, as long as Bilbo does not wake up too late, he can catch up with everyone.

   The sun in late summer is not dazzling.

   walking on the tall tree-lined path.

   A group of dwarves chatted and talked about Bilbo.

   Soon, the bet against whether Bilbo would catch up was played again.

   Morgan also really saw the abilities of this group of dwarves: they always seem to have fun.

   Bover, a dwarf who loves wearing a leather hat, took the lead: "I bet Mr. Baggins will not follow, because he doesn't dare. Who of you dare to bet with me?"

   Philip, a young dwarf with little golden braids on his head, immediately exclaimed in dissatisfaction: "Hey, everyone knows that Mr. Baggins will not come. You are so unfair!"

   A dwarf immediately echoed: "Yes, that's..."

   Kili the dwarf also took the words: "Poverty, if you want to bet Mr. Baggins will come, I'll make this bet with you."

   At this moment, Morgan suddenly laughed and said: "I bet that Baggins will catch up. Who of you dare to bet with me?"

   If you don’t know the plot, judging from Bilbo’s performance yesterday and his failure to get up this morning at all, Morgan would never take this remark, because the possibility is too small.

   But now, if you have money to make, you can still get a wave of Gandalf’s favorability, so why not do it.

  Sure enough, as soon as Morgan spoke, Gandalf looked over with a smile.

   He thinks Morgan is doing this because he believes in him and takes care of his face.

   You have to know that he is now himself, and he has no confidence in whether Bilbo can catch up.

   Besides, the dwarf laughed at Bilbo for his lack of guts, so he was slapping Gandalf in the face, although the dwarf being noisy might not mean it.

   But he recommended Bilbo with all his strength yesterday.

   "I am the same as Morgan, so count me..."

   Gandalf knocked the cigarette stick on his shoe and laughed happily.

   The voice fell, and the two voices immediately screamed one after another.

   "Morgan's bet I took..."

   "Gandalf’s I picked it up..."

   Kili and Bofer spoke quickly, causing the other dwarves who were willing to bet to slow down.

   "Count me, I guess Mr. Baggins may catch up. We might as well give him some trust."

   At this time, White Beard Bahrain spoke, making everyone stunned.

   Groyin, the dwarf, reacted the fastest, and quickly said, "I'll take Bahrain's bet!"

   At this time, UU read www.uukanshu.com, the young dwarf Philip, then he was ready to speak.

   "Philip, you are too slow, haha..."

   Just when everyone on the expedition team made a bet and jokes on Bilbo.

   Inside the bottom hole of the bag.

   Bilbo just woke up from his sleep.

   I got up and saw that there was no one in the house, and everything was neat and clean and intact as new.

   If it weren't for the food in the food storage room to be consumed, Bilbo even thought that everything last night was a dream.

   Looking at the empty room, thinking of the hustle and bustle yesterday, Bilbo suddenly felt an inexplicable loss in his heart.

   Soon, he saw the contract on the table that he refused to sign yesterday.

   At this time, Bilbo suddenly remembered Gandalf’s words yesterday: "Bilbo, your mother, your grandfather, your great-grandfather, your great-great-great-grandfather, none of them were ordinary..."

   "You are also a member of the Tuke family. Are you planning to stay in this small home for the rest of your life?"

   Gandalf's words seemed to be still in my ears.

   An unspeakable impulse suddenly grew in Bilbo's heart: "Yes, I don't want to, I don't want to live like this for a lifetime, I don't want to be ordinary!"

   Bilbo immediately found a pen and signed his name on the contract.

   immediately turned out his own package, put on a few clothes suitable for washing, and then rushed out of the bottom of the bag and ran towards the distance.

   half an hour later.

   Carrying a backpack that even the mouth of the bag could not be fastened in the future, Bilbo finally saw the expedition team from a distance in the woods about to leave Hobbiton.

   Bilbo waved his contract and rushed up happily.
