Chapter 3 Ming Dynasty Cloisonne Blue and White Ladies Jar with Salted Fish

After finishing the communication, Banxia immediately took out the old and yellowed map from the drawer. This is a 2020 version of the Nanjing traffic and tourism map. It was left by the teacher. It is a twenty-year-old map. I don’t know how many people have passed it.

It was turned into tatters.

She spread the map out on the bed, then holding a small desk lamp, she came closer and pointed at the words on the map, looking for them bit by bit.

She wants to find a place where there is enough evidence to prove that she is living in 2040.

On the map, the area filled with light pink is Qinhuai District. Qinhuai District is an irregular quadrilateral. The large green oval in the north of Qinhuai District is Zijin Mountain. The blue rhombus to the west of Zijin Mountain is Xuanwu Lake. Pinellia ternata is the first

I found my place to live - No. 66, Alfalfa Garden Street, Plum Blossom Villa.

On the map with a scale of 1:100,000, the Meihuashanzhuang community is only a little bit bigger than a fingernail. Meihuashanzhuang is next to a one millimeter wide and five centimeters long north-south straight road, which is Alfalfa Garden Street, and further north is Alfalfa Street.

Yuan Street intersects Zhongshanmen Street. Zhongshanmen Street is a thick main street, two millimeters wide, filled with light yellow, winding across half of the Nanjing map.

Banxia's fingers moved slowly on the map, starting from Meihua Villa and heading north along the road, recognizing the place names one by one:

Jiangsu Chinese Culture College.

What is this place? Doesn't look like I can help, next one.

Sea Moon Garden.

No, this is a community that has been almost burned down, leaving only broken walls and ruins, and is now occupied by a large group of monkeys.

Southeast Eye Hospital.

wrong.

Alfalfa Park subway station?

wrong.

Weiqiao New Village.

wrong.

Xiamafang Heritage Park.

wrong.

Provincial Seismological Bureau? Will there be evidence in the Seismological Bureau?

Still not right.

The girl knelt down on the bed. She was tired from lying down, so she straightened up and took a rest, then blinked her eyes hard.

The room was dimly lit. The only light sources were the small energy-saving lamp hanging above the desk and the small desk lamp in her hand. The small desk lamp had a blue plastic shell and a small solar panel on the base.

It can be fully charged after being exposed to the sun on the balcony for a day. It is a gadget that the teacher dug out from the trash. When he saw that it was still usable, he kept it and used it. It has a circle of LED bulbs, six in total, but only one of them can light up.

In the second half, it is very difficult to read characters in such light conditions, especially the small characters on the map are only as big as a mosquito's legs, so it is not easy to see them clearly.

Banxia decided to change his route.

Start from Meihua Villa and go south to Crescent Lake.

Then go to Jun'an Dongyuan.

Next is Minghu Restaurant.

Finally arrive at Guanghua Road.

Nothing was found.

Ban Xia breathed a sigh of relief. In the huge city of Nanjing, there must be somewhere that has enough evidence to prove that she lived in 2040. But unfortunately, Nanjing is so big that many places are beyond reach.

With only two legs and a broken bicycle, Banxia could travel no more than twenty kilometers away from her place of residence. No matter how far it was, there was no guarantee that she could get back and forth within a day. She did not dare to stay out overnight, as it was very dangerous.

It would be great if there were cars. Maybe there are one or two moving cars in a corner of Qinhuai District? There will always be cars that escape the search by me and the teacher, and the batteries are not taken away.

Banxia thought silently.

But she doesn't know how to drive a car.

This world has gone through a period of chaos. She was still very young at that time, so she didn't have a deep impression. Looking back now, Banxia only vaguely remembers the scarlet night sky, and the huge black image under the moonlight wandering on the earth like a spider.

During the patrol, the teacher took her to hide here and there, and the humans she saw became less and less, less and less, and finally there was no one left.

"Where can I find the evidence..."

Banxia then lay down and opened her eyes wide.

The main road on the map is the girl's main movement trajectory. For safety reasons, Banxia can only move along the main road and cannot go deep into small alleys or residential areas.

Depart from Meihua Villa!

Alfalfa Avenue!

Zhongshanmen Street!

Nanjing Museum!

Will there be evidence in the Nanjing Museum? After all, it is full of antiques. When there was no tableware, the teacher once went to the Nanjing Museum to find pots and pans. If the pottery and porcelain placed in the glass cabinet could be used, the teacher would move them all.

Back in the day, for example, there is a "Jingtai Blue and White Ladies' Outing Jar of the Ming Dynasty", which is now placed in the kitchen for pickling salted fish, and a "Hongwu Glaze Red Plum Vase with the Three Friends Pattern of Suihan", which is now used to store smoked food.

Meat.

There was also a jade dress with silver threads. The teacher wanted to move it away at first, saying that it would be a pity to leave this treasure there for mice to chew on, but she didn’t know what to do with it when she took it back, so she had to find a glass cabinet to put it in.

Then he stood at the gate of Nanjing Museum as a door god, hoping to scare away the animals that broke in.

Do these things prove that she is in 2040?

I'm afraid not, because they also exist in 2019.

Next.

"Ming Forbidden City."

no.

Next one.

“Zhongshan Hotel.”

Zhongshan Hotel? Banxia recalled it carefully.

Oh, it turns out that the charred foundation is the Zhongshan Hotel.

Nanjing General Hospital.

Xi'an Gate.

Pilu Temple.

Banxia's eyes were blurred, and she couldn't find anything that would work.

What kind of place would hold a lot of evidence?

First of all, there must be a clear time mark, and secondly, there must be a clear record of events, and then the time and events must correspond one-to-one. This is convincing evidence that can prove that she lives in 2040 - there are only a sufficient number of magazines,

Only yearbooks and newspapers can prove that what Banxia said is true.

Where can I find a large number of magazines and newspapers? A bookstore? No, bookstores don’t store a lot of old newspapers from many years ago. There are only junk novels in bookstores.

Banxia's eyes moved slowly along the khaki main road on the map. It was Zhongshan East Road. She was very familiar with it. Banxia often sat on the steps in front of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, watching the mighty buffaloes and deer.

Pass by Zhongshan East Road.

"Do you want to read a book? Reading more books will be good for you." The teacher's words echoed in my mind, "There are magazines, newspapers and periodicals. If you want to read, we can bring some back..."

Banxia suddenly saw it, a small line of black imitating Song characters. It was quietly hiding in the complicated map and was inconspicuous, but Banxia knew that she had found it.

presidential palace.

No, underneath it.
Chapter completed!
