The next morning, the dwarves who had sang the songs of their hometown for half a night got up quickly, made some simple food, and set off at dawn.

Bilbo's refusal last night was expected by Thorin, and he did not intend to waste too much time on this.

Without thieves, they can succeed.

So, when they left, they did not disturb Bilbo or persuade him again. They just sorted out the messy bottom hole of the bag and left.

But at Gandalf's insistence, they were not fast, and they rode slowly, waiting for Bilbo to catch up.

"What should we do without the thief?"

"We can do it ourselves, we have thirteen people and we are united."

The dwarves were discussing each other, and some thought they could find another thief on the road ahead.

Some people think this is a bad note, and they are wasting time when they come here.

They talked all over and had no conversations on the same channel, but they had a very lively chat.

"I think the thief chosen by the Gray-robed Wizard will not be so cowardly, he will definitely catch up with him."

"Come on, Ou Yin, this is a waste of time. He refused last night and would not appear."

"But we left the contract."

"That doesn't work!"

The dwarves continued to argue with each other, and Chara slowed down the horse, "So, someone wants to bet on whether the Hobbit will appear? I give out ten gold coins and bet on him."

"I won't bet!"

The dwarves joined the game with great enthusiasm, and even Gandalf took out gold coins and joined in.

"Are you so confident in that Hobbit?" Thorin asked, turning his head.

He can understand Gandalf's choice. After all, Gandalf himself chose, and he must believe in the person he chose.

But Charia chose Bill Bo to appear without hesitation. Why? They just stayed in the Hobbit's bottom pit for one night, and no one knew each other at all.

It is impossible for Chara to understand Bilbo's character one night, and Bilbo clearly refused. Will he chase him?

"Intuition!" Xia Ya said lightly with her head.

"Bounty hunters must believe in their intuition, because in many cases this can save lives or gain amazing wealth."

"What if your intuition is wrong?"

"Then you lose. Now you lose money. If you are in danger, you lose your life." Xia Ya shrugged, not caring at all.

"Life is a big gamble. If the bounty hunter doesn't even believe himself, then the world will be full of dangers for him."

"Believing in yourself is not a bad thing, isn't it?"

Chara strives to build his own bounty hunter identity.

Although we have joined the team now, if the Bounty Hunter's character is broken, there will still be trouble.

"Just like you, you still firmly believe that you can lead them back to the Lone Mountain, right?"

Thorin looked at Shaya for a long time before turning his head away.

"What you said makes some sense."

His voice came lightly from the front, "I bet he won't show up!"

"Very good, there are ten more gold coins."

"Chaya, you are so confident. I'm sure that the Hobbit is still lying on the bed. I don't know if we leave, he will definitely not be able to catch up with us."

"I think he might be celebrating at home, celebrating that we noisy dwarves left his home so that he could be quiet."

The dwarves who bet on Bilbo won't show up are looking for various reasons, and they all sound very reasonable.

"So, do you need to increase your investment?" Xia Ya smiled and showed her eight white teeth.

"No, if we win all your money, your next journey will be difficult and we can't do that."

The dwarves said something unknown or truthful.

Xia Ya did not mention any more money. It was just a fun thing. It really increased the amount too much and won them all. I guess I would still have to use money from him later.

After more than ten minutes, they walked a few hundred Meads away.

Ge Luoyin looked at the back and spoke impatiently, "Xia, I'm sure he won't show up. Pay quickly. I'm going to buy a big pot of wine in front."

"Wait, wait a moment."

The hobbit's voice appeared behind the team, and everyone immediately stopped the horse, whose speed was already unfast, turned to look behind him.

The Hobbits quickly ran to everyone with the contract they left in the bottom hole.

"I signed!" Bilbo raised the contract high and said excitedly, "I signed!"

Except for his voice, the others were extremely quiet at this time, quietly watching the Hobbit holding the contract.

Bilbo remembered that the contract was handed over to him by Bahrain, so he handed it to him.

Bahrain glanced at Bilbo deeply and took over the contract.

The Hobbit turned to look at the others, his hands and feet unconsciously swinging, which seemed very awkward.

When he just caught up with the team, he was excited, but when he was watched by so many people, he remembered his clear rejection before.

If everyone refuses him to join the team because of previous events, then he will have to go back, and there is nothing more embarrassing than this.

Fortunately, everyone did not ridicule him for this. After Bahrain pretended to look at the contract, he said that the contract was fine and welcomed Young Master Bakins to join the team.

Thorin turned around and still had a cold face, but he also spoke up and asked someone to give him a pony.

Bilbo shouted no, intending to show his potential as a thief.

“I can keep up on foot, I often hike…”

He kept muttering, alleviating the embarrassment in his heart.

When he decided to catch up, he felt his blood was boiling, but after he really caught up, he was embarrassed when he stood in front of these people and his excitement dissipated.

After all, he had firmly rejected their invitation before.

"Bilbo, don't refuse. The journey is still far, and the distance is much further than when you go to the Frog Village." Xia Ya turned around and smiled.

The two dwarves behind were more direct than him. They grabbed Bilbo's shoulders from left to right, lifted him up, put them on the back of a pony behind, and helped him to put the salute in a friendly manner.

The team set off again, and Bilbo caught up with Gandalf, the most familiar one, and walked along the road with him.

The dwarf who won the bet began to urge the losers to pay. For a moment, the money bags were flying in the team.

Xia Ya smiled and took five or six wallets, and transferred the gold coins inside to her own wallet.

Bilbo couldn't see what was going on, so he asked Gandalf, "What's going on?"

"They are betting that you will show up, and most people think you won't!"

"What do you think?"

A purse flew into Gandalf's hands, and the result was self-evident.

Gandalf smiled and said, "Dear friend, I never doubted you!"

Bilbo looked at Chara, "Who is he?"
Chapter completed!
