Chapter 297 Friends of Women and Children

"Would you like to come with me and take a look?"

Bilbo shook the letter in his hand and extended an invitation to Levi.

"Zhuo Guo's family is very nice. They won't mind if I bring one more guest. Not only won't they mind, they might even want as many people as possible."

"After all, the more people there are, the more lively it will be."

"Well... the letter also says: If you have friends and relatives who are willing to attend the banquet, please bring them with you."

"In that case, I won't be polite." Levi agreed on the spot.

It happens that there are still a few barrels of good wine in the backpack, which can be taken as gifts to Zhuo Guo's family.

"Great, then I'll go get ready and we'll set off in a moment!"

After speaking to Levi, Bilbo dove into the house and began to pack his things.

Solemn clothes to wear on formal occasions, some small souvenirs to express your feelings, and blessings to say after seeing Zhuo Guo, that's all.

Of course, if you don't want to prepare, these things are not necessary. According to Bilbo, even if you just wear casual clothes and bring nothing with you and just go there to have a meal and join in the meal, the Zhuoguo family will be very happy.

When Bilbo finished packing, he carried a box wrapped in flower cloth and walked eastward along the path of the Shire with Levi.

Bilbo led the way, chatting as he walked:

"Droguo's wife, Primula Brandydeer's father, Gobadok Brandydeer, often held banquets in the Brandy Hall. Every time, the banquet hall would be filled with delicacies from all over the world."

"That old man is really a nice guy. We all call him 'Big Belly Gbardok', well, because he has a big belly, and the belly is also very large."

"I heard that he held a Roadside Fort Food Appreciation Conference a few years ago, but unfortunately I didn't go that time."

Levi asked curiously: "What about this time, will he be in the Brandy Hall?"

"No, he's not here, and he won't be here again."

Bilbo shook his head and said regretfully: "He died just five years ago."

"What a pity." Levi replied later.

"Everyone gets old, Levi."

As soon as he finished saying this, Bilbo suddenly paused as if he suddenly noticed something.

Then he shook his head again, said nothing, and just continued walking ahead.

Hobbiton is not far from Bucks Town, only one town and two villages are separated in between. Although the two of them didn't walk very fast, they arrived before the banquet started.

While passing by the Green Dragon Tavern in Bangshui Town, I took a rest and ordered a cup of local craft beer. After one sip, my mouth was filled with foam, as if I had grown a white beard out of thin air.

In the afternoon, after crossing the Brandy Bridge, the two officially arrived in Bucksland and arrived at the banquet venue.

"Hey, Zhuo Guo!"

From afar, Bilbo greeted a hobbit who was busy placing plates at the banquet hall.

"Oh—Bilbo!"

The hobbit turned around, looking a little awkward.

It can be seen that this guy's belly is not small.

Drogo came over happily, wiped his hands, and hugged Bilbo.

It was impossible to tell whether Bilbo's belly or his hands touched him first.

He accepted the gift Bilbo brought.

"Oh thank you."

After handing over the gift in his hand, Bilbo turned sideways and said, "I have to introduce to you. This is my friend Levi. I wonder if you recognize him..."

"The name is very familiar..."

Following Bilbo's introduction, Drogo muttered and raised his head.

Then he froze.

"Hello, you."

He shook hands with Levi.

"Is it really me? Am I dreaming?"

"If you are talking about the Lord of Roadside Fort, then I am indeed that person."

Levi bowed slightly and said hello to the broad hobbit.

"Levi, at your service."

"I brought some barrels of good wine. Where should I put them?"

"Please follow me, Mr. Levi!"

This time Zhuo Guo didn't even care about the work he was doing. He just took Bilbo's gift and walked into the house with Levi.

Bilbo was left where he was.

Bilbo hesitated to speak. Seeing Levi and Zhuo Guo walking away, he could only helplessly turn his head away, curl his lips, and follow them.

I haven't even said a few words yet, so my cousin just left it to himself, but that's okay.

"I want to treasure these barrels of wine."

When Li Wei put down the wine, Zhuo Guo moved them directly to the most conspicuous place in the wine cellar and placed them separately.

"Ahem." Bilbo coughed twice next to him.

"Oh, of course I won't forget, dear Cousin Bilbo, have some tea."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Well, for the tea's sake it's not bad."

Bilbo sat aside and forgave Drogo for his slight negligence.

The wheat fields and corn stalks trembled slightly in the wind, and the windmill in the distant field turned slowly.

The banquet on this day was particularly lively.

When the sun went down and the great star of hope appeared in the sky again, Zhuoguo's wife Primula finally took some time to come out and relax for a while.

"Frodo fell asleep. Oh...it was not easy. Fortunately, my sister helped."

"Thank you for your hard work." Regardless of the presence of outsiders, Zhuo Guo smiled and hugged her affectionately.

It can be seen that the couple is very affectionate.

Maybe it's because the food here is so good. They both have relatively round figures and look healthy.

Not to mention, Bilbo looked quite slim when he stood next to them.

"You didn't see Frodo together just now. I have to introduce you to the important guests of this banquet."

Zhuo Guo brought his wife to Li Wei.

"oh--!"

cried Primula, almost jumping to her feet.

"I didn't expect...it's really you. You are as tall and strong as the rumors say. By the way, someone recently said that a 'Great Wall' appeared in the north that is almost as long as the Shire. Is it true? I have always wanted to see it with my own eyes. have a look…"

"Well, of course it's true. I built it with my own hands. But I don't recommend you go there to see it, because there are many ferocious wargs there, as well as Orcs that are eaten by both adults and children. But be careful with those things. …”

Levi's words extinguished the hobbit's desire to go out for a walk.

But it also succeeded in arousing more topics.

As the two chatted, a crowd of people slowly gathered around them, especially women and children.

After a while, Drogo and Bilbo were pushed aside and could only watch the group of people chattering and cheering.

The two looked at each other, looking a little helpless.

"He is so popular with the children." Bilbo sat aside and took a sip of wine.

"Cousin, there is something wrong with what you said."

Zhuo Guo reminded from the side: "Those sisters are not children."

The children were simply curious about Levi and were unconsciously attracted to listen to him telling stories in person.

But most of the children are naughty, and they might do some rude or outrageous things. Naturally, their parents, mostly mothers, will follow them to take care of them.

Then I was attracted by the story, and everyone gathered around with their children in their arms to listen to the story.

It's fine now.

Looking at this scene, Bilbo thought of something and suddenly felt happy.

I'm afraid that after this banquet, Levi will have a new title spread in the Shire.
