Chapter 52 is exactly as the book says, this is called a parallel world.
Among all the books brought over from the new dimension, several contain world maps.
After Bai Miao read them all, he became even more certain that the world maps in these books and the map in the manager's hand were almost identical, which meant that the locations of all the land and oceans in the two worlds were the same.
"The book says this is called a parallel world." Bai Miao didn't have a deep understanding of parallel worlds, but since the land and ocean in the two worlds were the same, they could be called parallel worlds.
Bai Yu understood less than her, but she could think of more.
"The new plane is clearly better than ours. Whether it's flush toilets, light bulbs, or these books, none of them are something we can make now," Bai Yu said, trying to understand what he meant. "Is the relationship between us and the new plane similar to the relationship between us now and five hundred years ago?"
"I think so," Bai Xi nodded. "The new plane has a history, and it lists many ancient countries, but it doesn't seem to mention 'Fengguo'. Does Miaomiao remember it?"
Bai Miao shook his head with certainty: "No."
"So, the new plane isn't our future, but another world. But the land and ocean there are positioned exactly like we are now," Bai Yu said, looking at the large white cloth in front of him. On it was a large map Bai Miao had drawn based on the world map in the book. "So, our location is..."
Bai Miao jumped down from the chair and pointed to a location on the map.
On the world map of the new dimension, all the slightly larger islands in the world are marked, and Bai Miao is pointing to the location of one of the islands.
"We're here," Bai Yu gestured. "To get to Fengguo, we need to head northeast. There are basically no obstacles along the way, so we can get there directly."
"Then how long will it take us to get there if we start from here?" Bai Xi asked Bai Miao.
Bai Miao thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the water flow. It will take five to eight days."
"It only takes five to eight days?" Bai Xi was a little surprised. "When we first came here, it took us many days. I thought it would take at least ten days to go back."
"We've been traveling on the sea, even if it's only five days, it's still a long distance, and it's easy to lose direction at sea. Miaomiao's estimated time is based on the assumption that everything goes well." Bai Yu was not too optimistic about this, but soon breathed a sigh of relief. "But it's only five to eight days, we still have a chance to go back."
"Are you going back to live on the water?" Bai Xi looked at her silently.
Bai Yu sensed the meaning behind Bai Xi's words and pulled her to sit down: "Xiao Xi, don't you want to go back?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just... our life on the water wasn't that good before, was it?" Bai Xi whispered. "Now we live here. Although we don't see people here very often, we can go to new planes, the White Mist Plane, and even the Magic Plane, where we can talk to a lot of people. If we go back, will we still be as safe as we are now?"
"Are you afraid of meeting those people who brought us out again?" Bai Yu asked her.
"Not entirely. Maybe I've gotten used to this kind of life now," Bai Xi blinked. "Although life is just as hard now, it's much better than before. Besides, we don't have to worry about food or clothing now. Do we really have to go back?"
Bai Yu looked at Bai Miao: "Where's Miao Miao? Do you want to go back?"
Bai Miao had no objection: "Wherever my elder and second sisters are, I'll be there."
Bai Yu thought for a moment, then looked at Bai Xi and said, "Xiaoxi, I don't mean to go back to the inland water life. According to Miaomiao's calculation, it will only take us five to eight days to go back. Even if it's a little difficult, it will only take more than half a month to go back and forth. We don't want to go back, but we have to find a way to find our uncles."
"Aren't you going back?" Bai Xi stood up suddenly.
"Actually, I've gotten used to life here," Bai Yu said with some emotion. "We've been living here for a year now, and even though we've only just seen passing locals, our lives haven't been too inconvenient. Besides, living here is much more stable than living on the water. We don't have to worry about being driven away, and we don't have to move around so often. In fact, I already feel like this is our home."
Bai Xi nodded repeatedly: "Sister, I think so too. I think this is our home, a home that doesn't require us to drift on the water."
Once they regarded the boat as their home, but that home was destined to drift on the water.
Now, they have settled on the island and no longer have to look for a place to dock their ship every day, no longer have to worry about not being able to exchange enough copper coins for a good harvest, and no longer have to worry about sudden storms. They can sleep until they wake up naturally every day, and use big pots to cook their meals instead of the small pots that they used to cook in frugality.
"That's settled. Once the ship is upgraded and in better condition, we'll find a way to find Uncle and Uncle. No matter what their current situation is, we have to make sure they're safe."
"How are we going to find them in this vast ocean?" Bai Xi frowned. "What if they drifted to another country?"
"Even if you can't find it, try anyway."
"Um."
They have [Shells], so they don't have to worry about food and clothing in their daily lives. They can also go to several different planes, get things beyond this world, and even practice magic and spiritual energy.
But even so, they are just ordinary people who are slightly stronger.
Finding family members without any clues is as difficult as heaven.
Even going to heaven is easier for them.
After all, there is a magic carpet in the magic plane. As long as you can use magic, you can control the magic carpet to fly into the sky.
After deciding that they would continue living on the island even if they found their families, the three sisters truly regarded this place as their home and began to decorate their home with all kinds of novel items they could find.
They even took out "room fees" and "meat fees", which were the rent for several dimensions and the items traded with Nancy. Although they still didn't know much about these things, it didn't prevent them from being hung out as decorations.
At the same time, the group who had lived on the island for two days finally determined the location of the island with the help of the guide. After talking with the manager, Bai Yu found that the location they determined was almost the same as the location Bai Miao determined through the new plane map, which increased the possibility that the two worlds were parallel worlds.
Some minor problems with their ship were also repaired during these two days.
For them, life on the island is stable, but it cannot change their desire to go home. After determining the location of the island, they can't wait to go back.
"The return trip is estimated to take at least ten days, and we may encounter other problems during this time, so we want to prepare more food and fresh water," the steward said to Bai Yu, "I wonder how much food we can exchange for on the island?"
"How much do you want?" Bai Yu asked him. "Calculating the time, our family will be back soon and will bring back some food. If you need, you can exchange some more."
"Thank you very much. We'll be happy to help you then."
Bai Yu had mentioned that the manager had asked people to take food hanging in various places on the island. They took a lot of it, whether it was bacon, pickled vegetables, or ordinary dried wild vegetables.
But the most important thing is fresh water.
It is not a big problem to have no food on the boat, but if there is no fresh water and you still want to survive, you have to resort to unconventional methods. If you have the conditions, no one would be willing to do that.
After taking food and fresh water, the steward gave them more than ten taels of silver.
Although silver is of little use on the island, the spices on the ship are worth less on the island. In comparison, it is better to give silver.
The weather was good, and it was better to do it today than to wait. The group quickly set off again with food and fresh water, heading towards the location indicated by the guide.
As we gradually left the island, several crew members were talking on the deck.
"For such a remote island to have a dock and so many houses, the families of those three girls must be really impressive."
"It's a pity I didn't meet her family."
"Don't you think it's strange? Even if they wanted to settle on an island, they should have found one close to the mainland. That way, it would be convenient for buying and selling things. This island is so far away from the mainland, why would they settle here?"
"There are many reasons, like escaping after offending someone, or getting lost accidentally at sea. If it weren't for the inconvenience of living on the island, I'd want to live here."
"It's not just that life is inconvenient. The island is so remote that even if we cry out to heaven and earth, nothing will help us. If we encounter passing pirates and find any signs of human habitation, we'll probably lose our lives."
"Isn't that possible? Even if there are people living on an island like this, what kind of things could there be?"
"There's food and fresh water."
"It's just food and fresh water, why would pirates do such evil?"
"We're all pirates, there's no point in reasoning. If we want to kill someone, we kill them. Who's to stop us? The sea is so vast. If we kill someone and just throw them into the sea, the body will disappear in a day. The pirates can find this place and use it as their base."
"Don't say it, it's scary, but why didn't you remind them?"
"If they're smart, they'll wait for their families to come back and bring it up. If they're willing to leave then, they can. If they're not willing, no matter how remote this island is, they're still here. If we can come, then the pirates can certainly come too. When they come and what the situation will be like when they do, it all depends on their luck."
"How could it be such a coincidence? It's just a coincidence that we can see this island. If we were a little off track, we wouldn't have found it. Even if there really were pirates, the chances of them discovering the existence of this island would be extremely small."
"I hope so."
As they were talking, someone asked them to do something, and the crew members went into the cabin and started working.
This time, they will definitely return home safely.
