The river below the level.
The river section is rugged and full of rocks.
The turbulent water flowed away in a rush of waves.
The water is fierce and the snow-white waves are rolling in the river.
Morgan, who was soaked all over, was leaning in a tall wine barrel that was half filled with water, staring closely at the rolling river in front of him.
When I saw the burgundy figure under the water, it disappeared in a flash.
Morgan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the figure in the burgundy coat.
Lifting out of the water, who was Bilbo if he wasn't already full of water and his eyes were dull when he drank.
Seeing Bilbo's face turned blue and half drowned, Morgan's expression changed and he immediately stood up straight in the barrel. Then he put Bilbo's body upside down on his shoulders with both hands, and immediately pressed down with his other hand. At Bilbo's heart.
With just a little effort, Bilbo immediately spat out a large amount of river water.
Seeing the effect, Morgan immediately continued to press it several times.
Until Bilbo could no longer spit out any water, his body began to move, and there was a moan in his mouth.
Morgan was immediately relieved, at least he no longer had to give Bilbo artificial respiration.
As soon as he relaxed, the tall wine barrel immediately began to tilt.
Morgan quickly put Bilbo, who was still not fully awake, on his shoulders, and hurriedly paddled hard in the turbulent river water with his hands to maintain balance.
I remembered the complicated and ferocious water in that section of the river after breaking out of the wood elf's level.
Even Morgan couldn't help but feel afraid.
Bilbo originally found an extra empty barrel when he was stuck at the level.
It was just when he escaped with Morgan Chilidvalin and others.
In the fierce waves, he hit the rocks in the river, and the wine barrel was smashed into pieces. Bilbo himself was instantly swept into the fierce waves.
Morgan saw Bilbo's barrel hit the rocks with his own eyes.
But in such a steep slope with constant and fierce waves, even Morgan could only protect himself. For this reason, he drank a lot of water, and even the wine barrel was submerged by the waves several times.
Fortunately, Morgan is familiar with water. Although it was thrilling, it was still a false alarm.
Because he was thinking about Bilbo, Morgan tried his best to find Bilbo in the water after crossing the most ferocious stretch of the river.
Fortunately, Bill Bofour was lucky and his burgundy coat was conspicuous, so Morgan found him and fished him out.
Morgan suddenly thought of a problem, if he failed to find Bilbo this time.
Will Bilbo play GG because of this?
Just when he thought about this aspect, Morgan immediately thought of the dwarf Noli.
Although he didn't know how Noli was doing now, he saw the opponent's appearance when he was hit by an arrow.
Morgan felt that Noli had little hope of surviving.
Although he and Noli usually have a normal relationship, they have been fighting together for several months, so they still have a certain friendship.
The other party died so unexpectedly and suddenly, Morgan would definitely feel a little heavy in his heart.
But when it comes to the depth of Morgan's relationship with him, that's impossible.
Among the entire expedition team, Gandalf was the best friend to Morgan. The two of them met first. Gandalf introduced him to the team, and they also admired each other.
It's normal for the two of them to have a good relationship, and everyone else in the expedition team can see it.
Then there is Bilbo and the dwarf Kili, the dwarf and "student".
Bilbo has a tough character and a kind nature, so Morgan is naturally willing to make friends with such a person, regardless of whether he has the aura of the protagonist or not.
Even if not, Morgan will save Bilbo when he is in danger and help him when he is bullied and ridiculed by the dwarves.
As for Qili, the cheap student.
The reason for Morgan's approval: not only because of Qili's smart and perseverant character, but also because of the respect Qili treats him.
The two brothers Kili and Fili were very lively in the team, and the dwarves often joked among themselves along the way.
But the dwarves never make fun of one person, and that is Thorin Oakenshield.
However, among the two brothers Kili and Fili, besides Thorin, there was also Morgan who never made fun of him.
Even when other dwarves made fun of Morgan, Kili would try his best to defend him.
Morgan will naturally like students who know how to respect their teachers.
Further down, the dwarves with good relations are Fili, Balin, Bofur, and Groin.
The remaining dwarves all have similar relationships.
Back to business.
The death of the dwarf Noli made Morgan feel heavy, but also full of surprises and doubts.
Follow the expedition along the way.
Although many twists and turns are different from those in the memory plot.
But the final result is almost consistent with the main plot in memory.
In this case, how could the dwarf Noli die here?
This plot does not involve Morgan.
It would only be Qili who was in trouble, and he was just hit by an arrow in his foot.
Now with Morgan, Kili is fine.
On the contrary, Noli was hit by an arrow and died directly from the arrow.
This made Morgan a little confused.
Speaking of which, Morgan still hasn't figured it out yet.
In such a fierce battle before, why did Noli suddenly run up the level?
It was after Qili pressed the water channel control mechanism and opened the iron fence blocking the road below.
It's not like he came here to be a scapegoat.
In short, there was something about Noli's death and his behavior before his death that Morgan didn't understand.
"Cough...cough..."
At this moment, Bilbo on his shoulder finally reacted more.
Morgan immediately put him down, reached out and patted Bilbo's fat face: "Are you okay?"
Bilbo opened his eyes and saw Morgan clearly in front of him and slowly said: "Where am I?"
"Where it is, of course it's still on the water, it can't be under the water."
Seeing Bilbo wake up completely, Morgan felt happy and immediately asked Bilbo to look at the rushing river around him.
He also let him feel it, and then put Bilbo into the water again, preparing to let him lie down like before.
But looking at the pale Bilbo, Morgan finally failed to make the almost drowned Bilbo hang outside the barrel again.
"Forget it, you come in and I'll go out!"
After the words fell, Morgan immediately jumped out of the barrel and pushed Bilbo in without waiting for Bilbo's reaction.
Bilbo said nothing for a while.
When Morgan swam outside the barrel and pushed the barrel as close to the shore as possible.
Bilbo finally said: "Thank you, Morgan, for saving my life again."
"Including the last time in the Stone Mountains, you saved me twice."
Hearing Bilbo's words, Morgan shook his head and smiled: "You have already paid me back once, so counting this time, it is still one time."
Seeing Bilbo's confusion, Morgan immediately explained: "You took the key to open the prison in the Elf Kingdom today, and you also led us to escape from the Elf Kingdom by water. These are all your credit, have you forgotten? "
See Morgan loudly affirming what he has done.
Bilbo smiled sheepishly, then shook his head and said, "That's different. Those are what I should do. We are partners."
Morgan also shook his head: "Then it's what I should do to save you. We are partners, right?"
Bilbo shook his head: "It's different."
Morgan: "Same."
Bilbo continued to shake his head: "It's still different."
Seeing Bilbo's insistence, Morgan shook his head: "Forget it, let's not argue about this. You really want to thank me. Next time I come to the Shire, just treat me with the richest food and the best wine."
Bilbo's eyes immediately lit up and he immediately said: "That must be no problem, just wait until this journey is over."
Morgan: "We'll call Gandalf with us then."
Bilbo nodded: "That would be best."
The further down you go, the wider the river, and the smoother the water flow.
Morgan stood outside the barrel and swam, pushing Bilbo inside the barrel to swim forward quickly.
Half an hour later.
Finally, on the calm water ahead, Morgan saw three wine barrels floating on the water from a distance.
Looking carefully, he saw that it was his three students, Kili, Fili, and the Groin dwarves.
after an hour.
The four tall wine barrels floating on the water and the five people finally saw the shoal in the distance ahead.
A group of dwarves were waving to them.
"Are you guys okay?"
White-bearded Balin stepped forward and looked at the soaked Morgan and Bilbo Kili and said.
Morgan shook his head and said: "It's okay, the orcs can't do anything to us!"
Balin nodded and smiled: "I think so too."
Once on the shoal, Morgan scanned the entire dwarf presence.
There are twelve in total, just one Noli missing.
Morgan was about to speak.
Thorin Oakenshield suddenly said: "Now that everyone has arrived, it's time to continue on the road."
"The orcs are still chasing us. We can't stay here for too long."
After the words fell, the dwarf Alli immediately said: "Can we bring Noli with us?"
Thorin Oakenshield immediately shook his head: "No, that will slow down our speed."
Ouli was a little dissatisfied: "What should we do? We can't leave Nouli behind, right?"
As soon as Ori spoke, Morgan saw everyone moving aside to the shallows.
Morgan looked over immediately and realized that there was a corpse under the two shabby clothes.
Just now he thought someone was hanging clothes.
"Find a place to bury it."
White-bearded Balin sighed: "Sorry Ori, none of us want this."
Doli shook his head: "You're right, none of us want this."
"Then, bury it..."
As Noli's brother, Doli spoke, but as his younger brother, Noli didn't say anything.
Not long after, with the joint efforts of everyone.
In the wild grassland on the shoal, because all the weapons taken from the orcs were lost in the previous drift, everyone dug a pit with broken boards and stones.
Lift Noli in and cover it with soil.
Received the unknown wild flowers that Bilbo picked from the wild grassland nearby.
Doli was the first to stand in front of Noli's grave and said softly: "I'm sorry, brother, I can't take you home yet."
"When we arrive at Gushan, my brother will come to pick you up."
Doli was the first to put down wild flowers on the grave made of several stones.
Ouli was the second, looking at his second brother's new grave and said softly: "I will miss you..."
After the words fell, Ouli's eyes turned red and he burst into tears.
Behind the two brothers, the others didn't need to be so particular about lining up. Everyone said something while standing in front of Noli's grave, and then put down the wild flowers in their hands.
When it was Morgan's turn, Morgan spoke softly: "This is a great expedition. We are all brave men, and you are one of them. Rest in peace, brother."
After speaking, Morgan gently placed the wild flowers in his hand on the grave.
When Thorin Oakenshield finished speaking for the last time, he put down the wild flowers and left.
This simple funeral was completed.
Everyone quickly followed Thorin Oakenshield and strode forward.
Before leaving, Morgan glanced at the lonely, simple new grave, watching the unknown wild flowers on the grave being blown by the autumn wind, flying into the sky, and then scattered across the horizon.
The expedition continued along the river bank.
More than half an hour later.
The sharp-eyed dwarf Fili pointed excitedly in the distance ahead and shouted: "Look there!"
Everyone looked in the direction of Feili's finger.
Immediately I saw a small ferry appearing on the river bank in the distance ahead.
The most important thing is that there is a ferry boat parked in front of the ferry.
Looking at the ferry ahead, everyone in the expedition team breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really great that there is a ship..."
"Now we don't have to worry about those half-orcs chasing after us..."
"We can just use it to go to Changhu Town..."
"We are so lucky..."
"Yes, I finally don't have to run anymore, I can take a rest..."
"I am so hungry..."
"Me too, I must eat well when I arrive in Changhu Town..."
"I'm going to drink wine and eat roast venison..."
"Damn it, now that you say it, I'm even hungrier..."
"Walk..."
"Go quickly..."
The expedition team immediately accelerated and moved forward quickly.
The dwarves were all talking about it.
As the distance gets closer.
Everyone in the expedition team quickly saw that there was no one on the simple ferry in front of them.
The dwarves immediately became more excited.
This time, Fili and Groin were the fastest. They ran quickly to the pier and were about to jump on the ferry.
"Whoosh..."
An arrow suddenly hit the wooden board on the ground in front of Fili.
When Groin turned around and saw the human archer behind him, he immediately waved the wooden stick in his hand and was about to step forward.
"Whoosh..."
The human archer fired another arrow.
It's just that this arrow actually hit the wooden stick in Groin's hand, which was no more than two fingers thick.
Jean Groyin was immediately stunned on the spot.
"You can try again, I promise to shoot you to death!"
Bard held a long bow and warned Groin and Fili coldly, but his eyes were looking at a group of dwarves and... a human behind the two dwarves.
