Chapter 158 The Story of Lord of the Rings Begins

The accident so many years ago has been the story of Hobbiton - indeed, the whole Shire - of criticism and even horror.The events of that night, especially the beheading of old Knox, were used as fireside stories to be told to hobbit children, to frighten unruly youngsters.

And the protagonist in the story has gradually changed from Bilbo Baggins, who disappeared inexplicably that night, to Frodo, his nephew and nephew.

For Frodo had not moved from Bag End since that night.He sold the comfortable and pleasant cave under the hill at a 'low price' to Sackville, who had been thinking about it all the time. Baggins family.

Then moved alone to Bucks Land, where his mother's family was.

We have said that Frodo's mother, Primula Brandybuck, was the youngest daughter of Gorbadoc Brandybuck and Mirabella Took.The Brandybuck family has been living in the Brandyhall in Buckland, and it is a very large family.

So it made perfect sense for Frodo to go back to his mother's family on the grounds that Bilbo was away and he didn't want to be alone in his cold home at Bag End.

As for the truth, honestly, people don't really care that much.People are more concerned about how much money the Sackville Baggins family took—although Bag End was indeed turned upside down by murderers in black robes on big horses that night, according to people familiar with the situation, The price is still lower than people imagined.Talk about whether or not they found fabled treasure in the tunnels of Bag End.

In the end, even Frodo began to be gradually forgotten by the people of Hobbiton, or become a figure of legend.

For after that, Frodo Baggins seldom appeared in the eyes of the people, but lived alone in an old house near the Wicker River, and no longer communicated with people outside Buckland.

what.

Seeing this, many people must have guessed that the ring (the ring) is very likely to fall into the hands of Frodo Baggins as in the original history.

In fact, at first Frodo didn't understand why the King of the North gave him the ring in the first place.It wasn't until he collected the ring for several years that he vaguely understood it.

And it was for the protection of Tom Bombadil that he had lived so far from the hobbit village by himself.

For only that legendary figure of mystery is unswayed by the ring's whispers and inexplicable ability to lure people to evil.

But he had many good friends, too, especially among the younger hobbits (mostly descendants of old Took): these were the people who had liked Bilbo since childhood, and had often been in and out of Bag End.Falco Boffin and Fredegar Bolger were two of them, but Frodo's closest friends were Peregrin Took (Pipin was commonly called) and Merry Brandybuck (who His full name was Meriadoc, though few remember).

Frodo walked the Shire with them, but more often he roamed alone.People found him sometimes going far away from home, walking in the mountains and forests under the starlight.Merry and Pippin suspected that he, like Bilbo, visited the elves occasionally.

In fact, this is true. Sometimes, the elves will follow Turka's order and come to care about his life and physical and mental health; sometimes, Turka himself will come.

Because of the sensitivity of their identities, Frodo could only excuse himself to wander, to meet them in starlit woods or in the dead of night; in unlit drawing-rooms.

Of course, there are more wizards who are always mysterious and come and go in a hurry.

Frodo had seldom seen the old man with the snow-white hair and beard these years, and no one knew where he had gone or what he was doing.

All I know is that every time Gandalf appeared when Frodo did not expect it, and after observing Frodo carefully and worriedly for a period of time, he left in a hurry.

Just leave a reminder: Be sure not to leave the old forest too far!
And it wasn't until he knew the power of the ring that Frodo realized how much the wizard and Turka cared about him.

Such days passed for a long time, and as time passed, Frodo also showed signs of "well-maintained": he still maintained the appearance of a hobbit who was just over twenty years old, and his body was strong. Healthy and energetic.

Even at Frodo's approaching fifty, when he should have been a more sedate age, his appearance remained unchanged from all those years ago.

Then Frodo began to feel regret for not going away with Bilbo.He found himself dreaming of the wilderness now and then, especially in autumn; and dreaming of strange wonders, mountains and mountains he had never seen before.

He began to think to himself, "Maybe one day I should cross the river myself." But to this, his other half always replied, "Not yet."

So, he could only work hard again to live quietly in the old house in Buckland.At this time, he was always glad that he still had Tom Bombadil as a friend.

Due to a meeting many years ago, this mysterious old man is more active than in the original book.Not only did he shoulder the important task of protecting the Supreme Ring, but he also became friends with Frodo after years of dating.

Sometimes old Tom invited Frodo to his house deep in the old wood;
Sometimes, on stormy nights, he would appear alone at the door of Frodo's old house, and frighten Frodo.

And at such times, happy, hearty old Tom laughed loudly and sang nonsense, but always cheerful songs.

So, in those days, Frodo either played with Pippin and Merry, or went deep into the old wood alone to talk to Tom Bombadil and his wife, Goldberry.

The days were peaceful and contented, and nothing sad happened.

Until, even Frodo himself began to become a 'monster' and 'legend' in others' mouths.Until, the high elves in the west began to return to Middle-earth, and the outside world underwent earth-shaking changes.Finally, one afternoon in early April, Gandalf reappeared after a long absence.This time he also brought a strange mysterious person with him.

"He's a slitherer." The wizard took off his pointed hat, put both his staff and elf sword on the wall of Frodo's old house, and then showed a long-lost smile: "You can call him Allah. Gon. How are you, dear Frodo? You look almost the same as Bilbo! I mean: you haven't changed at all!"

Frodo happily bustled back and forth between the living room and the kitchen of the old house, serving tea and snacks to the long-lost guests, and calling them to sit down—in this regard, he inherited Bilbo's hospitality and hard work very well. —Frodo did not stop until the guests sat down contentedly in the elm chairs, stretched their weary legs, and enjoyed the hobbit's kindness and hospitality.

"Everything is fine." Frodo said: "You know, Shire's life is always the same, beautiful and peaceful." At that time, Frodo was eager to know the wizard's whereabouts over the years and the stories that happened with the outside world. .There was a long-lost cheerful smile on his face, and his big eyes revealed excitement and curiosity.

"This is more important than anything else." The strange man whom Gandalf called a pilgrim took off the dark green cloak on his head, revealing his melancholy and stern face, his voice was low and infectious: "Now In this world, there is nothing more cherished and precious than beauty and tranquility."

He had shaggy, grizzled black hair, and gray eyes that were as sharp as swords.Both fingers are thick and slender, a pair of high soft leather boots that have been worn for a long time, but they fit perfectly, are still stained with mud at the moment, and paired with a long sword that is not too inferior next to Gandalf's elven sword, the whole person It looked dusty and dangerous.

Frodo felt uncomfortably stared at by the sharp sword-like eyes of the 'new friend' brought by Gandalf, and always felt that he regarded himself as a bad guy.

In other words, Mr. Aragorn, nicknamed "Skywalker", is looking at something.

Frodo looked at him with some anxiety, and then said to Gandalf, "Gandalf, where have you been all these years?"

Gandalf looked older, and more worried and haggard.It seems that the days of wandering around these years are not easy.It was possible, of course, that he had always been so, and that Frodo and the others thought he had changed.

Gandalf drank tea and ate dessert, and then slowly smoked his long pipe. Amid the mellow smell of long grain leaf tobacco and the flickering sparks, the wizard spoke.

"My dear Frodo, I can only tell you that I have gone through things these years that no hobbit has ever gone through," said he. "But none of this matters, Frodo. The ring Do you still keep it?"

Aragorn sat up straight at this most important thing, and looked at Frodo with sharper eyes.

Frodo writhed uneasily, wondering why he spoke of the magic ring in the presence of the 'stranger'. "Yes," said Frodo dully, as if he did not want to talk about the subject.

But Gandalf and Aragorn stared at him with piercing eyes, which made him extremely disturbed.

"Bring it out, Frodo." Gandalf put down the bong, and said in a solemn and undeniable tone: "I think it's time for you to know the truth of the matter."

Frodo was taken aback, as if his long-standing confusion had been vented.At the same time, a voice in my heart was loud and mighty: The time has come!
Then Frodo stood up tensely, and drew from the collar of his neck a chain of silver, on which hung a golden ring.
