The farmlands and houses here are all in a stepped style, with each step higher than the previous one.

The Jun family's carriage did not go around the mountain to stay overnight, but instead set up tents along the road at the foot of the mountain.

The carriages were loaded with goods, and it took a long time just to get them up and down. Therefore, few large caravans stayed overnight on the mountainside.

The carriages that had followed all the way had now arrived at their destination, and they came one by one to say goodbye and express their gratitude.

Rather than saying this is a state, it is actually just a little bigger than a town. A few days ahead is the territory of the dwarves.

The dwarves don't like to deal with outsiders unless they are humans they trust.

This time, half of the Jun family's goods were exchanged with the dwarves, and the other half were sent to the Forest of Elves.

At night, there was still barbecue and dry food. Jun Shutong didn't eat much. No matter how delicious the food was, he would get tired of it after eating it for several days in a row.

Now she feels that barbecue without cumin is like instant noodles without seasoning packets. It won’t make her starve, but it won’t taste good. She has completely forgotten how she drooled at the sight of barbecue at first.

The closer they got to the mountains, the lower the temperature became, and the guards had already put on thick clothes.

The next day.

Jun Shutong had just woken up when he saw Yi coming into the tent with a cotton coat.

"The weather is getting colder, wear something warmer and don't overheat."

She wanted to say that she wasn't cold and didn't need to wear anything, but her mother thought she was cold.

The convoy continued on its way, and the last family of three also left.

After leaving the territory of Yazhou, the carriage moved slower and slower, the wheels rolling over the uneven pebbles, making people's whole body ache.

After five days of bumpy and difficult journey, we finally arrived at the dwarf territory.

Looking at the little girl who kept rubbing her butt, Yi couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Was she too impatient to take her daughter back to the Elf Forest when she was so young?

The convoy stopped, and Chen Feng took a fire-starter-like object and lit it. The object exploded in the air like a firework, emitting a fiery red light.

Jun Shutong: [Flare?]

System: [I think so.]

"Mother, what is this?"

Yi said, "This is the signal I'm using to contact the dwarves. Once their tribesmen see it, they'll come out to greet us."

Aren’t dwarves said to be aloof?

The word "welcome" meant that her mother treated her differently, and Jun Shutong was looking forward to it.

Soon, the branches moved, and several Indians about her height walked out of the dense forest.

Oh no, it's a dwarf.

In comparison, he is still a little taller than her.

Jun Shutong sighed inwardly: [He really is short, about one-third the height of an adult.]

The five dwarves were naked, with their private parts tied up with aprons woven from vines.

They have dark yellow complexions, shriveled skin, and white beards. They all look similar and it is hard to tell their real age at first glance.

The leading dwarf quickly stepped forward and said:

“Evelyn, my friend, it really is you.”

"Master Arthur, long time no see, how are you?"

Yi bowed and greeted.

"As you can see, it's still the same as always. What good things have you brought us this time?"

The dwarf named "Arthur" was very excited to see Yi.

"This time it's ceramics and cloth. As you know, Jun's Company has the most cloth, so of course it's the best."

"Yes, the Jun family's goods have never disappointed us."

"Master Arthur, this is my little daughter, Jun Shutong."

"Tongtong, call Uncle Arthur quickly."

Jun Shutong stepped forward and called out sweetly, “Hello, uncle!”

"Okay, okay, the little guy is so cute!"

After a brief greeting, everyone followed him into the dense forest.

Dwarves live underground. After passing through the complex jungle, they came to a stone gate. There was no clue from the outside, and outsiders could not find the entrance without a guide.

Arthur pressed a switch on the stone wall, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a cave two meters wide and five meters high. The cave led all the way down and was bottomless.

The passage is made entirely of stone, and the steps are polished to be flat and smooth. It is not as damp as a cave, and it is neither dry nor cold.

The oil lamps on both sides were crackling with pine oil, a smell that Jun Shutong was very familiar with.

In her previous life, when she was on a mission, she sometimes had to stay outdoors for many days, and she would use pine resin to make fire.

The passage spirals downwards, and there are handrails on both sides when it reaches the middle.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, a huge open space appeared in front of them. The ground was made of stone slabs, and there were two tables and chairs in the middle, both made of stone.

The goods brought this time were placed on the open space one after another, and the porcelain was placed on the stone table.

Arthur and his group's eyes lit up when they saw the exquisite white porcelain. He touched the bottles and the dishes, wishing he could hold them all in his arms.

Yi suppressed his laughter and said, "Master Arthur, you might as well take a look at the cloth and other things."

"Good, good, all good things."

After Arthur looked at all the goods, the corners of his mouth almost split to the back of his head.

After Arthur finished looking at all the items, Yi smiled and said, "It is my honor to bring convenience to the dwarves. After all, we are friends."

"Master, have you prepared what I need?"

Arthur slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I'm so happy that I forgot about the important things. Come with me."

"Master, please."

Arthur led the way, Yi followed behind with Jun Shutong in her arms, while Xia Xue and the others stayed where they were and waited.

Jun Shutong didn't remember how many turns he took before arriving at a fire room.

There was a constant clanging sound in the fire room, and hundreds of dwarves were busy inside.
