    After finishing the communication, Banxia immediately took out the old yellow map from the drawer. This is a 2020 version of the Nanjing city traffic and tourism map. It was left by the teacher. The 20-year-old map has passed through the hands of many people.  Folded to pieces.

    She spread out the map on the bed, then held a small desk lamp, moved closer and pointed to the words on the map, searching bit by bit.

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

    On the map, the area filled in pale pink is Qinhuai District, which is an irregular quadrilateral. The large green oval in the north of Qinhuai District is Zijin Mountain, and the blue rhombus to the west of Zijin Mountain is Xuanwu Lake.  I found my place to live - No. 66, Clover Garden Street, Plum Blossom Villa.

    On the map with a scale of 1:100000, the Meihuashanzhuang community is only a small area the size of a fingernail. Meihuashanzhuang is next to a north-south straight road with a width of one millimeter and a length of five centimeters.  Yuan Street intersects with Zhongshanmen Street. Zhongshanmen Street is a stout main road, two millimeters wide, filled with pale yellow, winding across half of the map of Nanjing.

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

    ? Jiangsu Institute of Chinese Culture.

    What is this place?  Doesn't look like it's going to help, next.

    Sea Moon Garden.

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

    Southeast Eye Hospital.

    No.

    Clover Garden Subway Station?

    No.

    Weiqiao New Village.

    No.

    Xiamafang Ruins Park.

    No.

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

    Still not right.

    The girl knelt on the bed, tired from lying down, straightened up to rest for a while, and blinked hard.

    The light in the room is dim, and the only light source is a small energy-saving lamp hanging above the desk, as well as the small desk lamp in her hand. The small desk lamp has a blue plastic shell and a small solar panel on the base.  It can be fully charged after a day in the sun on the balcony. It is a gadget that the teacher dug out from the trash. Seeing that it can still be used, I have kept it for use. This thing has a circle of LED bulbs, a total of six, but only the one that can light up  In the second half, it is very difficult to read characters under such lighting conditions, especially the small characters on the map are only as big as mosquito legs, so it is not easy to read clearly.

    Ban Xia decided to change the route.

    ?From Plum Blossom Villa, go south to Crescent Moon Lake.

    Then go to Jun'an Dongyuan.

    Next is Minghu Restaurant.

    Finally arrive at Guanghua Road.

    Nothing.

    Ban Xia breathed a sigh of relief, in the huge city of Nanjing, there must be enough evidence somewhere to prove that she lives in 2040, but unfortunately Nanjing is too big, so big that many places are beyond reach, relying on a pair of  Legs and a broken bicycle, Banxia is at most 20 kilometers away from her place of residence. No matter how far away, she cannot guarantee that she can go back and forth within a day. She dare not spend the night outside, it is very dangerous.

    It would be nice to have a car, maybe there are one or two moving cars in a corner of Qinhuai District?  There will always be a car that has escaped the search by myself and the teacher, and the battery has not been taken away.

    Ban Xia thought silently.

    But she can't drive even if she has a car.

    This world has experienced a period of chaotic days. At that time, she was still very young, so she didn't have a deep impression. Looking back now, Ban Xia only vaguely remembers the scarlet night sky, and under the moonlight, the huge black image is like a spider walking on the ground.  Walking around, the teacher took her to hide, and she saw less and less human beings, and the last one was gone.

    "Where can there be evidence"

    Ban Xia then lay down and opened her eyes wide.

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

    Depart from Plum Blossom Villa!

    Clover Park Avenue!

    Zhongshanmen Street!

    Nanjing Museum!

    Will there be evidence in the Nanjing Museum?  After all, there are old antiques inside. When there was no tableware, the teacher once went to the Nanjing Museum to find pots and pans. If the pottery and porcelain in the glass cabinet were usable, the teacher brought them all back. For example, there is a "  Ming Dynasty Jingtai Blue and White Ladies Outing Green Picture Jar", now?It is placed in the kitchen to pickle salted fish, and there is also a "Hongwu Glaze Red Suihan Sanyou Plum Bottle", which is now used to put bacon.

    There was also a silver-threaded jade dress. The teacher wanted to take it away at the beginning, saying that it was a pity to leave it there for mice to chew on, but she didn't know what to do with it, 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.

    But as far as the current situation is concerned, the motionless silver-threaded jade garment cannot frighten the animals, and the animals only regard it as a sculpture, unless it can walk.

    But it scares Banxia when it walks.

    Do these things prove that she is in 2040?

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

    Next.

    "Ming Palace."

    no.

    Another one.

    "Zhongshan Hotel."

    Zhongshan Hotel?  Ban Xia recalled it carefully.

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

    ? Nanjing General Hospital.

    Xi'an Gate.

    Pilu Temple.

    Ban Xia's eyes were blurred, and he couldn't find a place where it could work.

    What kind of place will keep 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 there must be a one-to-one correspondence between time and events. This is convincing evidence that she lives in 2040-only a sufficient number of magazines,  Yearbooks and newspapers can prove that what Ban Xia said is true.

    Where are the magazines and newspapers in abundance?  bookstore?  No, bookstores don't stock tons of old newspapers from years ago, they only stock junk novels.

    Ban Xia's gaze moved slowly along the khaki-colored main road on the map. It was Zhongshan East Road, which she was familiar with. Ban Xia often sat on the steps in front of the Ming Palace, watching the buffaloes and deer.  Pass through Zhongshan East Road.

    "Do you want to read books? Reading more books is good for you." The teacher's words echoed in my mind again, "There are magazines, newspapers, and so on. If you want to read them, we can move some back"

    Ban Xia suddenly saw it, a line of small black imitation Song characters, it quietly hid in the complicated map, inconspicuous, but Ban Xia knew that he had found it.

    Presidential Palace.

    No, under it.

    "Nanjing Library."

    (Author¡¯s gossip: Some classmates asked me about filling out volunteers in the book: I like literature, but my family asks me to fill in my science and engineering volunteers, how should I choose?

    The author can only share a little personal experience here, for this student's reference only:

    If you love writing, then filling in any major will not affect writing. On the contrary, literature majors in universities do not train writers. They train literary researchers, connoisseurs, and critics. The author himself is a science student, and there are many online writers  Science students.

    If you simply love literature, such as literature and art, comparative literature, etc., you have to study systematically in the literature major, and you have to communicate with your parents and family, but one thing is certain: study a major that you don¡¯t like  , will not be happy.  ?
