save the bachelors

Chapter 5050 5053 [The Dwarf Who Brings Good Luck]

"Keep your head down and don't look around." Bard saw Bilbo looking around and quickly reminded him, "There are guards and spies everywhere here. It's easy for strangers like you to be discovered."

Speak of the devil, and at this moment, a guard happened to pass by. Seeing Thorin and the others, he immediately stopped them and shouted, "Who are you? Stop!"

"Hide quickly." Bud said immediately.

Thorin and others also ran quickly.

"Hey, in the name of the mayor of Changhu Town, stop right there!" the guard shouted slogans and immediately chased after them.

Thorin and the others wanted to run forward, but at this moment, they saw another guard appear in front of them.

Just as they were about to retreat, the guard who had just arrived arrived.

Seeing this, Thorin didn't waste any words and went forward to knock out the guard in front with a hammer. Dwalin followed closely and knocked down the guard chasing him with a stick.

The surrounding townspeople watched all this in surprise. They had never expected that these guards could be killed so easily.

Bard was slightly stunned when he saw the fighting power of the dwarves.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps and the collision of weapons and armor could be heard.

"What happened here?" A captain rushed over with a team of guards.

It turned out that he had just heard the shouts of his men and noticed the chaos caused by the dwarves' running.

Seeing the captain of the guard leading his team over, the townspeople who were originally watching the excitement immediately dispersed, pretending nothing had happened, and continued with their own business.

It turns out that the mayor of Changhu Town is unpopular, and the guards are his minions and lackeys, so naturally they are not liked by the townspeople.

Therefore, when the townspeople saw them in trouble, they were too happy to report it to them. Naturally, they would not take the initiative to inform them.

At this time, the dwarves had already hidden on both sides.

Seeing this, the captain suspiciously led his men forward and said, "Stand still, no one is allowed to leave."

Thorin gave everyone a look, telling them that if the captain really wanted to catch them, then they would have a big fight.

Anyway, with Xiang Nan's support, they could even get through the Orc Town safely, and they were not afraid of a small Changhu Town being turned upside down.

……

"Braga~" At this moment, Bud walked out pretending nothing had happened.

"It's you, Bud, what are you doing here?" Guard Captain Braga asked Bud in confusion, staring at him.

He knew that Bud was a troublesome person in Long Lake Town. He thought that he liked to do good deeds and help the poor and the needy, so he was famous and popular in the town. He was a hero praised by the townspeople, but he was also a thorn in the mayor's side and a thorn in his side.

As the mayor's most outstanding and loyal thug, Braga naturally has no good feelings towards Bud.

"Me?! Nothing, I was just passing by." Bud smiled casually.

"Just passing by?" Braga obviously didn't believe him, and he walked towards him again with confusion.

Upon seeing this, the townspeople quickly used fishing nets, baskets, etc. to cover the guards who were knocked unconscious by Thorin and Dwalin, in order to block Braga's sight.

Braga took a quick look and indeed didn't see anything wrong, and he couldn't help but feel confused again.

"Hey, Braga, this dress will look really beautiful on your wife." Just then, Bud shouted.

When Braga looked back, he saw Bud holding a white bra in his hand.

Braga's face suddenly changed, and he asked quickly, "What do you know about my wife?" "Nothing, it's almost the same as what the townspeople know." Bud was also stunned, then blinked.

"Hmph!" Braga pushed him away, then led the guards away.

It turns out that Braga's wife is the mistress of the mayor of Long Lake Town. Braga was able to secure the position of captain of the guard thanks to his wife's pillow talk.

However, this matter was kept secret and not many people knew about it, which allowed him to pretend, show off, and act like a tough guy in front of others.

But if everyone knew that he got the captain position at the expense of his wife, he would become a laughing stock and a waste in everyone's eyes, so he was particularly wary of this matter.

Seeing Braga leave, Bard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he and the dwarves continued on their journey.

……

At this moment, a child about ten years old squeezed out of the crowd and said to Bud, "Dad, our family is being monitored."

Bard nodded and whispered something to Thorin.

Then, Bud left with his son.

Thorin and his men fell far behind, then swam through the waterway to Bud's toilet and entered Bud's room.

It turns out that Changhu Town was built on the water, so the residents' toilets were above the lake and their excrement was directly thrown into the water.

Although it sounds dirty, in fact, these domestic wastes will be quickly eaten by aquatic plants, snails, clams and fish, so they are not that dirty.

"Hey, go back and tell the mayor that I have finished my work for today." Bud opened the window and shouted to the spy who was monitoring outside the house.

For a moment, the spies felt a little embarrassed.

"Dad, why are there dwarves coming out of our toilet?" At this time, Bud's two daughters asked in surprise, "Will they bring us good luck?"

Xiang Nan waved his hand, and in an instant, the dwarves' clothes and bodies were quickly dried, and they became dry and comfortable again.

"Wow, you're a wizard?" Bard's children said in surprise, and even Bard himself was surprised.

Xiang Nan then waved his hand again, and in an instant, the table of Bud's house was piled with cakes, bacon, sausages, grilled lamb chops, fried potatoes, pickled ham and other delicacies, "I'll treat you~"

"Wow..." The Bud family was stunned, and the children were drooling.

They hadn't enjoyed such a sumptuous meal for a long time.

"You really can bring us good luck." They said in unison.

……

"The dwarves' wind crossbow~" At this time, Thorin looked out the window. There was a high platform with a strangely shaped crossbow mounted on it.

It has a total of four bow arms, forming a cross shape, and the intersection of the cross is the shooting hole for the crossbow arrows.

"You look like you've seen a ghost." Bilbo walked over and asked curiously while drinking the hot cocoa Xiang Nan had conjured up.

"Indeed." Balin nodded and recounted the past, "The last time we saw this kind of crossbow, the town was ablaze with flames.

The day the dragon arrived was also the day Smaug destroyed Dale, and Girion, King of Dale, summoned his archers to attack the dragon.

But the dragon’s scales were very hard, harder than the strongest battle mail, and only black arrows fired from a wind crossbow could penetrate them. But these arrows were rare, and when Girion delivered his final blow, there were only a few left.

If Girion had shot the dragon that day, everything would have been different."
