"This song is so wonderful. It feels very adventurous at first." Frodo said. "But so, we are really busy tonight. Everything we need to prepare for the luggage, food and luggage used for long journeys is ready to go to bed. Tonight, it is also the first and last time we slept in this new home. Of course, if long journeys can go well, it is not the last time."

"Wait, Frodo, you won't take the lyrics and music we sing seriously, are you?" Pipin said. "Are you really going to set out before dawn?"

"To be honest, I can't say for your question myself." Frodo rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. "It is because I have fully seen the viciousness and power of the Black Knight on the way over the past few days that I am very worried about the dangerous behavior of the time stopping in all the processes.

In fact, not only I am very dissatisfied with this behavior, but even the advice given to me by the Elves before mentioned the advice of not staying too much and getting on the road quickly. In such a critical situation, I really hope that Gandalf can give me some advice here. Unfortunately, he doesn't know where he went. Apart from this, there are only two things I care most about: How long does it take for the Black Knight to arrive at the Buckland? Can the events that we can leave for preparations for departure remain as abundant as we had expected in the past? To be honest, these two questions have lingered in my mind for a long time."

"Okay, maybe it's right for Frodo that you thought so thoroughly. You're right. Maybe we were a little too optimistic about whether time is still on our side." Merry said, "but you don't need to worry about when you can be ready to set off. As long as you give your order, we can set off directly within an hour!

Long before you arrived at your new home, Xiaopang and I had already completed most of the preparations needed for the adventure! There were six ponies in the horse house opposite, and we also packed most of the tools, luggage and bags necessary for adventure. With these preparations, we only need to prepare these slightly troublesome food and personal clothing to choose and set off."

"Oh, I'm glad to hear you prepared so much in advance!" Frodo said. "But what should the Black Knight do? Everyone, do you think we still have time to stay here and wait for Gandalf to come and meet?"

"The most important thing about the Black Knight is your judgment of him," replied Merry. "If I guess correctly, he must have been looking for Mr. Baggins for some extremely evil purpose. It is precisely for this reason that his behavior and appearance appear astonishingly evil. Even if he is fast, I think the guards at the gate of the town will not allow such suspicious villains to enter the territory of the Buckland. Of course, if he breaks through, then these things must be planned separately."

Frodo sat and pondered for a moment. "Time is tight, I think we still need to set off as soon as possible." He made his decision to everyone. "I will set off at dawn tomorrow. Of course, the road to leaving requires a new way of thinking.

If I leave the North Gate, then the entire Bucks Land will know my whereabouts, and hope that will bother the pursuers' pursuit. Not only that, even if the Black Knight cannot enter the Bucks Land, there will be someone to monitor the Liquor Bridge and the Eastern Road near the border. We have encountered at least two enemies suspected of Black Knights along the way, and perhaps the number of enemies is much higher than we imagined. Our only choice is to take an unexpected direction."

"But this means we have to leave Lao Lin!" Fredgar said in fear. "You are not serious, right? There is as dangerous as the Black Knight."

"I think it's a good idea," said Merry. "Although it sounds crazy to leave the Bucks by the direction of Lao Lin, I think Frodo is right. That's the only way to get rid of the pursuers for the time being. If you have good luck, we can even lead them a lot."

"Lao Lin? Are you sure you want to follow Lao Lin's path? Oh my God, that's a famous ominous place!" Fredgar protested. "As far as I know, walking Lao Lin is not a suitable choice. In there, any traveler will lose his way. People don't go there at all."

"Saturture, I have my own support to the reason for leaving Lao Lin? Do you think I would have no support at all, so I chose to take Lao Lin's road to it?" said Merri. "Maybe Lao Lin is still a mysterious and terrible place for others, but this cannot bother the Hobbits of our Liquor Deer family! We have our own entrance. As for the situation in Lao Lin, I have gone in several times myself, and Frodo also entered it many years ago. Although it was daytime when we entered and Lao Lin had not changed, I think it was not important."

"Okay! Anyway, this is up to you to decide, so I won't say much." Fredgar said. "Nevertheless, I still want to tell you my fear of Lao Lin. Oh my god, once you say that Lao Lin is coming, I might have nightmares tonight. However, because I won't go with you, my opinion is no longer important. I am honored to stay in the Buckland for you, tell Gandalf what stupid things you did, and then let that wise and powerful wizard help you ask for difficulties. If you need me to convey any information about him, you can also tell me in advance now."

Although Pang Berg is Frodo's friend, he doesn't want to leave Charles at all.

Compared to Frodo and others' yearning for the outside world, Xiaopang himself is more like a decent hobbit. Staying at home and looking at the one-point land in front of his home for a lifetime may be his ultimate dream in life.

In the original plan, he wanted to stay and cover Frodo's important left-behind person, so that everyone could think that Mr. Frodo still lives in the valley. In order to make himself perform better in the mission of Frodo, Xiaopang even asked Frodo for a few clothes he often wore from Frodo.

"So, we're just here to decide?!" When Frodo understood the whole plan, he clapped his hands and expressed his full respect to all his companions. "Just just now, I was still worried about how to leave some information for Gandalf without being discovered and exploited by the enemy. However, since Xiaopang is willing to stay, the communication with Gandalf is no problem. This made me finally make up my mind: We will enter Lao Lin early tomorrow morning."

"That's what it's decided," said Pipin. "To be honest, I can't wait to come out quickly. God knows how boring it would be to stay in this room."

"This is what you said? Don't regret tomorrow." Fredgar said. "Before tomorrow dark, Lao Lin's bad situation will make you wish you were still in this room."

"Hey, stop arguing!" said Merry. "We have to pack up our things and pack all our luggage before we go to bed. When it's time to set off, I'm responsible for waking everyone up."

.....

After finally getting into bed, Frodo had insomnia for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.

As a sleepy feeling surged into his heart, he slowly fell asleep. In his dream, he seemed to look out from a window overlooking the sea of ​​trees. There was a sound of creatures sniffing in the forest. Somehow, he suddenly became extremely nervous.

Then, he heard strange sounds coming from afar. At first he thought it was the sound of strong wind blowing through the forest.

Then the dark earth and a towering white tower appeared in front of him. Faced with such a magical scene, Frodo instinctively wanted to go forward to check it, but without waiting for him to take two steps, he felt someone calling his name.

Frodo suddenly woke up. The room was still dark. Merry held a candle in one hand and knocked on the door with the other. "Okay! What's the matter?" Frodo, who had just woken up from a nightmare, looked frightened.

"What's the matter? You must be sleeping in Hutu. It's time to get up. The time to set off is up!" Merry shouted. "Come on! Sam is already preparing breakfast. Even Pipin has gotten up. I'm about to go and take the horse with the camel luggage. Now it's your turn to wake Xiaopang up. He will at least send us to Lao Lin!"

Shortly after six o'clock, the five Hobbits were ready to go.

Little Pang Berg walked at the end of the team. He also suffered from insomnia last night and had a bad sleep.

Following Frodo, everyone came out of the room and walked to the horse in the courtyard.

Meili took the lead in leading the camel luggage-carrying horse, walked along the path behind the house, and then crossed several grasslands.

The tart land in the early morning was extremely quiet. At some point, layers of mist came from afar with the breeze. Everything was silent, which highlighted the sound of animals and other strange creatures in the old forest in the distance. Wild birds chirped in the forest, and residents in the distance closed the door with force.

Everyone went to the stable to pull out the pony. The plum was prepared very well. Just from the pony prepared for everyone, we can see that although they were not fast, they were hard-working and suitable for all day labor.

With excitement, Frodo's adventure team officially rode a horse and rode into the heavy fog without looking back.

The fog that looked not as thick as before became extremely gloomy here, showing its hideous side to everyone like a monster who chose to eat.

As Frodo and others continued to move forward, the gloomy and uncomfortable feeling brought by the thick fog became deeper and deeper. After an hour of silence, a row of high-rise fences suddenly appeared in front of everyone. On the thick fence, many silver spider webs remained.

"Spider web? It's hard to write it now." Fredgar said.

"Come with me!" said Merry, "I have a way to get around."

As he said that, the clever and witty Hobbit turned around and walked to the left along the high fence, and soon came to a place where a fence bent inward along a valley.

Not far from the high fence, there is a path winding towards the high fence and slowly tilts downward. There are slowly rising brick walls on both sides of the path. When you walk halfway, the brick walls on both sides meet on the path. Below is a tunnel drilling through the high fence and leading to the valley on the other side.

Little Pang Berg stopped here. "Goodbye, Frodo!" he said. "Although I don't agree with your decision to travel through Lao Lin, I respect your courage. I wish you all the best and a smooth journey and a quick return!"

"Tell Gandalf to catch up quickly along the Oriental Avenue, we should not be on the road and rush on the road as soon as possible."

Finally, they shouted "Goodbye!" together, rode down the slope, drilled into the tunnel, and disappeared from Fredger's sight.

The tunnel was black and wet. On the other end was a gate made of thick iron bars. Meili got off the horse and opened the door lock. When everyone passed, he pulled the door and locked it with a sound of Kada. The sound sounded full of ominous feeling.

"Look!" said Merry. "We have arrived at the reservation. This is the edge of Lao Lin."

"Are all the legends about Lao Lin true?" Pipin asked.

"There are many legends, and I don't know which one you are talking about." Merry replied. "If you are talking about strange and strange stories about the goblins in the magical forest and the talking timberwolves, then you don't have to worry at all. These strange creatures do not exist in the old forest. But if you ask if there are really magical species like little fat people in the old forest, I regret to tell you that there are really! The older generation often says that there are many strange stories in this old forest. For example, many years ago, the Hobbit ancestors came first on behalf of the ancestors of the Hobbit.

When we arrived in this forest, we saw many big trees pull out their roots at night and move them. Even after a while, many people were surprised to find that the locations of many trees in the old forest had undergone unimaginable huge changes. Soon, moving trees even invaded the border fence set by the ancestors. Although the incident ended with the ancestors burning hundreds of big trees, since then, Lao Lin became unwelcoming to the Hobbits and other human elves. In general, there may be big problems in the trees in the old forest!"

"Apart from trees, are there any other creatures that may pose a threat to us?" Pipin asked.

"There are many strange creatures living on the other side," said Merry. "I'm not sure about this, even the news was told by others. However, I've never seen these guys. I can only be sure that some creatures here will create footprints and animal paths.
