12 twenty years
This land of elves in the northwest of Middle-earth is called Berehunded.
Bereander reaches the sea to the west, and to the north is Eredenglin, where Morgoth and his minions are stationed, commonly known as the Iron Mountains.
The east and south are mostly surrounded by blue mountains.
The official name of Blue Mountains is Eredluine, a name that is very unfamiliar to Shire, just like this world.
But if his eyes could penetrate Eredruin, see it to the south, or learn that a group of dwarfs of the longbeards existed south of the mountain, then he might guess what world he was in.
The dwarves in the first era had seven branches, scattered in all directions of the Middle Earth.
The long-bearded dwarves stationed outside Berreand, south of the Blue Mountains, and in the middle of the Mist Mountains, belong to the first to awaken and the most powerful one among all dwarves.
The dwarves of the long beard clan have another name - the Dulin clan.
Of course, Charles, who had never seen a dwarf, would obviously not discover this for a while, and might never even be able to discover it because of distance.
However, another interesting thing is that the gathering place of the Haradin people is not far from the Blue Mountains, and the other two dwarf city-states hidden in the winding blue mountains, Berregost and Nogrod, are two places that the dark elves Eor often visit.
By chance, he was actually very close to his original life.
But because of the green leaf butterfly, Eor didn't know where to fly at this time, so it was unlikely that he would meet Charles.
...
The Haradin human gathering place is built on a uneven green hilly area. Looking around, wooden houses stand with the hills, tall and short, lined up one after another. Occasionally there are cave dwellings.
The landform of the gathering place is generally like a gorge, with two continuous hills obliquely on both sides, with a deep terrain in the center. A clear stream is located at the bottom of the gathering place, flowing slowly, and at the same time, it also divides the area into two.
The Haradin humans are one of the three major human races that Berryand survives, but compared to other human races, they are generally withdrawn in their "nature". They do not have much contact with elves or even humans of the same species, and they don't even like to pay much attention to their own people.
This can be found from the distribution of buildings in the gathering place.
The houses are scattered and each household is not very close. Except for families with good relationships that may be adjacent to each other, most families can walk at least five or six minutes.
In fact, after observation along the way, Shire has initially discovered that the human race has a very strange personality.
They are united, but not united.
The reason for this is that when encountering danger, these people gather together and trust each other very much, but they usually seem very withdrawn, don’t like to chat and talk, and always have a slight sense of alienation from others.
After arriving at the gathering place, the group who returned from afar received a warm welcome because they brought back some essential items of life.
Charle himself was taken to the residence of the middle-aged widow who "adopted" him and settled in a wooden house, located at the top of a moderately tall hill.
His existence did not attract much attention from this group of withdrawn humans. Only a family located diagonally below the same hill ran to take a look.
The male owner of the family even wanted to reach out and touch Charle's face, but he hid away, and was driven away by Harovi, the widow who was taken back to Charle.
Charles stayed here temporarily. After discovering that communicating with Harrowie was not difficult, he completely stabilized in this simple family.
This stability lasts for twenty years.
...
Twenty years are very long for humans with short lifespans, but for elves it seems to be a blink of an eye, inconspicuous at all.
Even for elves babies, it is only a part of their childhood life. The general growth time of elves is 50 years, and the physical growth of some special elves will even last for a hundred years.
During this long and rapid time, not much praise is happening, and it has been quite calm.
The composition of the Haradin human race is very strange. This group does not even have the existence of patriarchs or leaders. They are not so much a group as a small alliance of families.
Unless necessary, they basically don’t move around each other. Every household stays near their homes and lives a self-sufficient life.
And because of the short birth time, the folk customs here are very simple, and there are not even many who are good at lying.
There is no intrigue, no danger, and there is basically nothing to bother with peace and peace. In a sense, this place is simply paradise.
But at the same time, the living standards here are also very low. There are basic daily necessities such as pots, pans, and pans (sold from other human races), but other items, clothing, weapons, and even culture are at the original level.
Shire was not used to this at first, but gradually he didn't care.
The widow Harovi was dull and hardworking, and even after Charles learned the language of the Haratins, he didn't communicate much.
It can even be said that unless it is necessary, she never speaks and will only focus on working.
Usually, except for cooking, chopping wood and cleaning up the fields (they can grow wheat, but their production level is low), they can only go to a large forest east of the Haradin to search for wild fruits (this is used as a currency to trade other items)
Occasionally, she would gather with the women in the tribe to deal with the prey that men came back from hunting, and then bring back a little meat, but since Charles started hunting in the forest, she rarely even did this.
After adopting Charles, she never went out with the "caravan" in her clan again and stayed in the gathering place.
In her own words, she said that her husband and son died before, and she was not afraid of taking risks to go out.
But now with Charles, she dare not go out.
Relatively speaking, the neighbor Marrier's family has the opposite personality to Harovi, and is very lively and enthusiastic. They who live in the same hill will come to visit each other every now and then, and will take the initiative to come over to help when encountering any problems.
Of course, there was no dirty situation in front of the widow. In fact, what surprised Charles was that despite the lack of culture and the barbaric and vulgar behavior, this human race was pure in nature.
People here are generally kind and harmonious, and occasionally one or two rat shits are always rejected by others.
And according to Charles' aesthetic view, he believed that Harovi was an ugly human woman.
The hostess of the neighbor Ma Ruier family is pretty pretty and the family atmosphere is very warm. They gave birth to a baby girl of the same age as Charles.
The baby girl is named Haldo (the current Haradinian names generally contain the syllable of Ha, but few of them do not contain it).
She was basically born in the same year as Charles, but when she was six, Charles still looked so old, and was not a little older at the age of ten, and even when she got married at the age of twenty, Charles looked similar to a human child aged six or seven.
This made Mr. Ma Ruier, who was originally looking at Charles, was quite disappointed when he saw him thinking about his son-in-law. The little baby girl who initially liked to stick to Charles very much gradually became less interested in playing with him when she grew up. Instead, she would always laugh at him as a little girl when she met him.
There was no malicious intention, so Charles was depressed for many years.
The dull and peaceful time has passed, and Shire's body is growing and changing slowly. Many memories and grievances in his mind have been temporarily pressed into his heart. Occasionally, when it is late at night, I take it out and think about it to avoid forgetting.
