Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 145 Tom Bombadil (Subscribe)

Frodo was angry, or rather, the young man was a little ashamed at the moment.He did not have any malicious intentions, but a young man, at an age full of vigor and pride, would always feel a little overwhelmed and ashamed when criticized by adults.

So he ran and ran, across the creek, past the fields of winter wheat and vegetable gardens, and down into Bywater.

The people there wondered why the Baggins boy was so angry, and old Gamgee even greeted him outside the Ivy, but apparently Frodo did not notice, and he He ran out of Bangshui Town like the wind.

By the time he realized it, he had passed through everything he knew and came to a three-way intersection.To the north is the pond and small river, to the west is Dadong Town, and to the east is Wazetun.

But Frodo thought about it, and chose none of these three directions. Instead, he jumped over the fence and ran to the green hill country in the south.Maybe in his mind, only the still green mountains and countryside can make him feel relaxed and calm.

At that time, the sun was shining on the quiet and peaceful countryside, and occasionally one or two farmers could be seen.They were the Tooks of Tuckerland, and some were even related to Frodo.

So Frodo greeted them happily.

The Tooks were also surprised why a Baggins was here, and they said, "Don't go too far, Frodo. There are wolves sometimes in the hills. And if not, some fawns and foxes will sometimes let you Bad luck."

Frodo would always say, as much as he could, in a grown-up voice, "Then my slingshot will be of use!"

Then ran away.

Along the way, the rabbits in the bushes, the birds in the bushes, and the sunshine did brighten Frodo's mind, and he began to feel that he was making a little fuss.

Bilbo was only looking out for his own good, and he knew that.He has a clear understanding of the danger of half-orcs from Bilbo's book and from the conversations of the old people in their free time.only……

"He shouldn't be treating me like a child," said Frodo. "I know more about adventures in the wild than they think, after all I'm a Baggins!"

At this time, he had come to the mountains in the south of Green Hill Country.

Looking at the majestic mountains near Shire, and the howling cold wind in the mountains.Frodo hesitated.He didn't want to go on a reckless adventure because of some 'ridiculous' dispute with adults.He is not Tuke.

And the warnings of those farmers before came to my mind.

Frodo began to think this was very foolish.So he turned around and no longer walked in the direction of the mountains, but turned east along the shadow of the mountains, ready to go to the forest end to have a look.

The road to the east was fairly smooth, and Frodo walked barefoot in the peaceful fields of the Shire, his spirits continuing to rise.

He walked and walked until the sun was sinking and his legs were weak, only to find that the destination was farther than he thought.He was tired and hungry, and the excitement of the morning was completely gone. At this moment, he only thought of having a table of good food and warm tea waiting for him, and besides, he began to miss the warm bed in Bag End.

But the tone in his heart supported Frodo, and he felt that it would be too shameful to turn back like this.He held on and continued to move forward.

"If you don't count Bilbo's adventure, I've come a long way," thought Frodo, comforting himself with this: "Perhaps when we go back, Bilbo and Gandalf won't be there again." Feel like I don’t know anything about the wild.”

Thinking of this, Frodo did cheer up a little.Finally, when he turned over a small low hill, a green forest suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Woodland!"

Frodo shouted excitedly, only to feel that the tiredness all over his body disappeared at this moment, and his strength returned to him.

He set off and charged down the hill, as excited as he had been when he set out from Hobbiton.

By this time, the sun had almost completely set.The last sliver of orange-yellow light shines on the tall trees in Linweidi like a golden ocean, swaying non-stop in the cold winter wind, full of waves.

Frodo only felt that the adventure had been worthwhile.He opened his arms, letting the wind blow past his ears, laughing and jumping.

However, when the sun in the west completely disappeared on the horizon, a coldness suddenly appeared between the heaven and the earth of Arda.Some kind of power began to spread, and people couldn't help but shudder.

"Never mind. Wood Hall is at the very east end of the Wood End, and I can rest there." Frodo, cold and hungry, began to think of the consequences. "I remember a grandson of old Tooke's living there, and I'm sure he wouldn't refuse a poor Baggins."

Thinking of this, Frodo began to walk towards the east of Woodend, with steps that seemed to be filled with lead.

As the sky grew darker, Varda's starlight began to twinkle.The icy wind blew constantly over Frodo's neck and great feet, and the weary birds in the Wood End returned to their nests, and the world became silent.

At this time Frodo was cold, hungry, and very tired, and he was walking on a path in the country, with Woodlands on his right - and by this time he had completely regretted that it was only because of leaving Out of anger, he ran out of the house.

He thought: "This kind of stupid thing is really only done by the Tuke family, but unfortunately, I have a part of the blood of the old Tuke family in me. So, yes, I am the biggest fool."

Sudden.

Something springing from life made Frodo's heart skip a beat.He quickly looked at the road to the east. At the end of the winding road, there was a faint sound of hoofbeats.

The trees on both sides seemed to have turned into eerie goblins, while the end of the winding road turned into a terrifying mouth that was devouring everything.The sound of a horse's hooves is a death-defying incantation.

At that moment Frodo felt a great desire to hide himself from the sight of his rider.

And he did.

He quickly ran to the left, jumped into a small hollow not far from the road, and lay down on the ground.In fact, this move turned out to be a wise one in hindsight.

In the evening of the silent night, a dull sound of horseshoes was getting closer.A big tree shaded the road. He jumped into the thick grass behind the tree in time, then raised his head and peeped carefully from behind a thick tree root.

Four black horses turned around the corner and rushed towards this side.This is not a hobbit pony, but a tall and healthy horse.Or, something like a horse.

Because normal horses don't have flames coming out of their eyes.Frodo just glanced at it, and was horrified at the dreadful sight.

I saw some tall people riding horses, who seemed to be sitting on the saddle with their waists bent, and their whole body was wrapped in a big black cloak with a hood, with only a pair of boots exposed underneath, stepping on high stirrups.

They are the Nazgul (Nazgul), monsters who walk among life and death, shadows.Driven by Sauron, they came to the Hobbit's homeland in search of his ring.

Frodo felt only an indescribable terror emanating from these black knights.His face turned pale all of a sudden, and he couldn't help shivering.

This alarmed the black knights, who fed on fear, and the leading knight stopped his mount suddenly, and looked in Frodo's direction with his empty face.

Frodo's heart was suddenly gripped tightly by some force.He opened his mouth in horror, unable to speak a word.

The leading black knight rode to the tree, and stopped when he was level with Frodo.The figure on the horse sat motionless, with its head bowed, as if listening.From under the hood came a sound like someone sniffing for some elusive scent.

Frodo couldn't even breathe, and his face was flushed with suffocation.

He seemed to hear someone dismounting, which intensified his fear.Frodo felt the shadows rushing up all around him, overwhelming him.

at this time.

"Hey hey dong! Happy dong! Ring ding ding dong!

Ding dong!Ding dong!The willow tree is ding-dong!
Tom bang!Happy Bang!Bombadil Bang! "

A weird singing voice with random, arbitrary and meaningless lyrics broke the gloomy atmosphere.The black knights immediately turned around and let out a hoarse and sharp cry.

Frodo felt that his head was stuffed with countless sharp needles, and it was swollen and painful.He hugged his head and rolled pitifully on the ground.

The only fortunate thing is that he didn't make a sound, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Moreover, the black knights didn't care about him at the moment, all of them pulled out the black long swords around their waists and stared at the way they came, as if they were facing an enemy.The black knight who dismounted before even hurriedly boarded the mount, circling uneasily.

And after a long string of gibberish (or sounds like gibberish) lyrics, a loud and clear voice suddenly rose up and sang such a song:

"Hey hey boom! Happy boom!

The breeze blows gently, the birds fly gently,
The sun is setting, the shadows of night are coming,
Guests from afar, the door is open for you!

There's delicious food, delicious drinks,

There is only one, the land of the Shire does not welcome black people!
This is the agreement between Tom Bombadil and the Silver King. "

Then a bright light suddenly burst from the east, illuminating the path from Forest End to Wood Hall as if it were daytime!There is a figure in the light, he is short but tall.He is like a god, standing at the end of the road.

The black knight's eyes were stung by the light that represented hope, and their dark faces let out extremely piercing screams, as if they were afraid or angry.

Frodo felt only that his head had almost burst open.

The leading black knight tried to send a bursting fireball, but was waved away by the figure in the light.

"Go away."

The figure said that his voice was no longer cheerful, replaced by a roar, like thunder in the sky: "Minions of darkness! You are not welcome here! Leave forever, and you are not allowed to come back."

The black knights were shocked.

Their dark power has almost no power in the figure in the light, and the master behind them really did not expect that there is such a number one person in the north.

So, the four black knights turned their horses and fled north in a panic.

When the shadow completely left, the figure in the light showed its real body.He was a stocky old man in a tall, battered hat with a long blue feather in it.He wore big bright yellow boots on his stout legs, a blue coat, and a long brown beard.The eyes are blue and bright, and the cheeks are as red as ripe apples, but they are wrinkled with hundreds of laugh lines.

The mysterious man is none other than Tom Bombadil.He went to the place where Frodo hid, and stooped over Frodo, looking at Frodo with curiosity and concern in his blue eyes.

"Well, a hobbit," said he, laying his hand on Frodo's forehead, and murmured some obscure spells in a low voice.

Frodo felt only a warm current from the old man's hand, and his splitting headache was much better.He got up from the ground and bowed deeply to Tom Bombadil: "Thank you for your rescue, I almost thought I was going to die!"

Tom Bombadil immediately laughed.He likes polite people.

"Who are you? I mean: it is not wise to go out into the fields at such a time, Hobbit. Are you lost?"

Frodo then straightened up, only to see that his face was still pale, but his spirit was much better than before: "I am Frodo Baggins, and I live in Hobbiton. If you have heard of that, then You must know that we are kind and hospitable people. As for me." He sighed: "It's just a poor idiot who ran out of the house in a fit of anger for some ridiculous reason, and almost lost his life."

Tom Bombadil was more merry, and said: "It was bad luck to meet the Black Knight, but now you are safe. Those evil minions have been driven away by Tom. I hope they will not stay in the Shire again." .But, to be honest, I doubt it." Tom sighed.

Frodo was startled and terrified at hearing that the monsters might still linger in the fields. "What are they?" he asked. "Also, who are you?"

Tom Bombadil gave a loud laugh, took off his hat, blinked his bright blue eyes, and said: "As you can see, I am Tom Bombadil. Perhaps you will hear My name, maybe not, but I am me, I am Tom Bombadil."

Frodo's mouth fell open in surprise.

The name was indeed mentioned in the hobbit-lore, and it was rumored that he was the lord of the Old Wood, and the men of Buckland sometimes saw him near the Old Wood, but Frodo had always thought that to be a legend. .

"As for the fellows on horseback," said Tom Bombadil, with a look at him, "it's just some wicked fellows. They've come up north to look for something, maybe you've seen it. But that doesn't matter, now You need a warm fireplace and delicious food more, their screams are the roars of the dead, although they are dispelled, but the shadows still linger in your heart."

Tom Bombadil's blue eyes seemed to see through everything, and he said: "Maybe there is everything you need in Wood Hall. This is not far from the Hobbit village. Do you want to go there?"

Frodo nodded blankly.
