Chapter 23 The double-decker boat actually became a double-decker? !
"Miaomiao, play farther away. Don't play over there. If the firewood falls, it might hit you."
Bai Miao looked up at the pile of firewood in the rain pavilion, squatted down and took a few steps back, continuing to play with mud and stones, piling them into the shape of a house.
Bai Yu glanced at her, making sure that the spot was fine. He lowered his head to grab the fire grass that was drying in the sun, then looked up at the sky.
There was a thin layer of dark clouds in the sky, but they were not heavy and it didn't look like it was going to rain.
On the other side, Bai Xi was sitting on a stone making clothes. After sewing for a while, he would compare the finished clothes with the finished ones. After confirming that there was no problem, he would continue sewing, trying to get it done in one go, so as to avoid having to take it apart and redo it again and again.
"Is the thread from the magic plane useful?"
"It's better than the thread we have here, and it won't break easily," Bai Xi said, holding the needle. "Even though it's dangerous over there, we still have to go."
"As long as they don't show up and cause trouble, there should be no problem." Bai Yu said, sitting not far from Bai Xi, bending down to wrap the wood and vines that he had picked out in advance together.
Fire grass needs a long time to dry out, and the weather at the seaside is changeable, so a special shed is still needed to spread the fire grass flat so that it can dry faster.
They prepared a lot of wooden sticks this time, and also a lot of fire grass that needed to be dried.
Bai Yu sat down and wrapped part of it, then walked to the shed which already had a basic frame and wrapped the things in his hand on it.
"Are we still going to use leaves on the roof?" Bai Xi came over and helped hold the pillars at the bottom. "This shed is too big. I'm afraid leaves alone won't be able to keep out the wind and rain."
"I've been thinking about this too," Bai Yu said, tying the vines tightly. "Once the foundation is roughly finished, we can go to the magical plane and ask what roofs are covered with there. If the price is right, we can buy some."
"After we make the tinderbox this time, we can exchange it for more than 600 copper coins, which should be enough." Bai Xi looked up. "If the price is cheap, can we build a house on the island later?"
"A roof alone isn't enough," Bai Yu tied up the things in his hands and climbed down the rocks. "The wind is strong on the island. A simple shed like this is fine for storing firewood and starting a fire. But if we live inside and the wind gets strong enough to blow the shed down one day, we won't be able to escape and it's too dangerous."
Bai Xi looked at the shed in front of him and said, "Yeah, it's better to be on the boat."
The boat is located low down, and although there will be occasional flooding, it is basically not a big problem. Even if the wind blows stronger occasionally, the boat will hardly shake.
In addition, their ship had undergone two minor upgrades after the previous thorough upgrade. Now the width of the cabin is a circle larger than before. It is not only more than enough for three people to sleep, but also has a lot of space left, which is very different from the original narrow cabin space.
If they hadn't seen the ship being upgraded, they wouldn't have believed it was the same ship as before.
"Our mattress is too small from front to back and left to right," Bai Yu spread out the mattress, but no matter how she spread it, it wouldn't touch the edge of the boat. "I wonder if the magical plane sells cotton."
"Speaking of cotton," Bai Xi squatted on the deck, "Isn't the temperature at the seaside higher? In previous years, the weather has already cooled down at this time."
Bai Yu raised his eyes and calculated the time: "It's true, it's not too cold at this time of year."
Bai Xi smiled and said, "I hope it will always be warm and this winter will be a warm one."
When they were inland, they were floating on the water. Even if the bottom of the boat was intact, there would always be moisture coming up, which was even more uncomfortable in winter.
The temperature at the seaside is higher, so this winter will be much better.
Bai Yu started to make the cabin again. The original mattress was not long enough, so he spread out the clothes and laid them on the edge.
After everything was laid out, Bai Xi and Bai Miao took off their shoes and entered the cabin. They put their shoes in a corner of the cabin to prevent them from getting wet if it rained the next day.
Have a good night's sleep.
When they woke up the next morning, the three sisters were still in the cabin.
Since arriving on the island, Bai Xi and Bai Yu have been waking up later and later every day, almost at the same time as Bai Miao. It’s not that they are lazy, but mainly because there are not many things to do on the island, but none of them are urgent, so they can sleep peacefully on the boat for a long time.
After waking up, Bai Miao skillfully picked up the shell and started signing in.
Today's [Sign-in] result is another ship upgrade card.
"Will there be complete and major changes after this upgrade?" Bai Xi asked curiously.
"That should be the case. It was the same last time. After three small upgrades, the entire ship became much larger." Bai Yu picked up Bai Miao and said with a little excitement, "Let's go out and take a look."
Bai Xi quickly followed the two of them, and after reaching the bow of the boat, he jumped down skillfully.
Bai Yu picked up Bai Miao and said, "Come here, Miao Miao."
Bai Miao leaned the upgrade card in his hand against the boat.
Along with the familiar [Upgrading], a circle of white mist appeared on the hull, covering the entire ship.
The three of them took a few steps back and looked expectantly at the ship surrounded by white fog.
After looking at it for a while, Bai Xi blinked and said, "Sister, do you think the range of this white mist is a little bit large?"
"A little."
The size of the white fog is closely related to the size of the ship after the upgrade. The larger the white fog, the larger the ship will be.
The anticipation in their eyes was even more eager.
Even though both of them had high expectations for the changes in the ship, when the white fog completely dissipated and the ship reappeared in front of them, they were still stunned by the changes before their eyes.
They all thought that this time would be the same as last time, just a bigger circle.
“It’s become double-decker?!”
"And there's a ladder!"
"A two-story boat. If I were to buy it, I wonder how much silver it would cost."
"A few hundred taels?"
The two were very excited as they looked at the double-decker boat in front of them. Even Bai Yu, who was older and more "knowledgeable", was shocked by it.
They didn't originally own the rain pavilion and the kitchen, and their sudden upgrade just made them happy, but what has been with them all these years is this ordinary little boat.
Now seeing the small boat turned into a double-decker, you can imagine the excitement and excitement.
Bai Xi climbed up the ladder first and stood on the deck, which was much higher than before. She couldn't help but open her arms to welcome the sea breeze: "Sister, our boat has become so high."
"Needless to say, you can see it just by looking." Bai Yu smiled, helped Bai Miao climb up the ladder, and followed her up.
Only after climbing up did she understand what Bai Xi meant.
Although it can be seen from below that the ship has become much taller, the feeling is completely different from actually standing on it. When she stood on it, she also wanted to say something.
The ship has become so tall.
At this time, Bai Xi had already run to the other side and uttered another excited speech.
"Oh my god, sister, there's a door and a window in our cabin! It's a door and a window!!!"
Bai Miao ran after Bai Xi and imitated her words: "It's the door and the window!"
Bai Yu looked over and opened his mouth to say something, but after seeing the actual situation, he couldn't utter a word.
Originally, their boat was a small ship with a cabin sandwiched between the bow and stern. The entrances and exits of the cabin led directly to the bow and stern, so every day she had to take out all the bedding in the cabin to avoid getting it dirty by stepping on it when walking back and forth.
The ship has now become a double-decker ship, with the cabin located in the middle of the second floor. There are passages on both sides for people to walk around. The cabin itself even has entrance doors and windows, one on the left and one on the right, facing the passages on both sides.
"Our mattress is here." Bai Xi opened the cabin door.
Bai Yu walked over and saw the mattress in the cabin.
"The cabin is about the same size as before," Bai Xi took off his shoes and walked in, opening his hands to compare. "It's indeed about the same size, but for some reason, it looks much bigger than before."
"It's too high above our heads." Bai Yu pointed to the top of the cabin.
Bai Xi looked up: "Yes, it seems to be much taller."
Bai Miao also took off his shoes and went in, and the two ran around in the cabin together.
Bai Yu stood at the door and watched.
In fact, the second sister is still young, but most of the time, she treats the second sister as someone about the same age as herself. It was at this time that she revealed her childish appearance.
"Come in, big sister."
"You guys play." Bai Yu said with a smile, his eyes stayed on the two of them for a while, then looked around.
Although it is called a cabin, this cabin is completely different from what they imagined. It is more like a room on the ship, with doors and windows. If you put a bed, table and chairs in it, it will be no different from a normal room.
She had never seen what a normal room looked like, but this was what she imagined a normal room to look like.
It turns out that people on the shore rest in rooms like this.
very nice.
"Sister, our life is so good now."
"Yeah, that's really good," Bai Yu smiled. Seeing that the two had almost finished playing, she pointed at the mattresses under their feet and said, "Pull these mattresses towards the window. We'll sleep over there from now on. The side near the door will be used to store shoes."
"Okay," Bai Xi walked out of the mattress, stood by the window, bent down and pulled the mattress, "Miaomiao, sit down."
Bai Miao sat down.
Bai Xi smiled and grabbed the mattress, pulling it into place.
Although the mattress was still small, the way it was now leaning against the wall made it look like a bed.
Bai Xi looked up: "Sister, do we not have to collect the mattresses during the day anymore?"
Bai Yu nodded: "Yeah, no need."
"Then this is our bed," Bai Xi stood on the mattress again. "It's so strange. We're still on the boat, but it feels like this has become our home."
Bai Miao sat on the mattress and looked up, puzzled: "Home?"
"Yes, home," Bai Xi nodded and said seriously, "a home where I no longer wander."
Bai Yu walked into the cabin, took off his shoes, stepped on the mattress, and hugged Bai Xi tightly.
Bai Xi hugged her back and leaned on her shoulder.
Bai Yu felt the wetness on his shoulders and gently patted Bai Xi's back until he felt an embrace on his calves. He looked down and saw Bai Miao opening his arms and hugging their legs.
Bai Miao raised his head, met Bai Yu's gaze, and grinned: "Hehe."
