Soon, Wang Ke collected a large bundle below and wanted to throw it up, but it was too high and there was no way.

Wang Mingsheng untied his leggings, but it was less than five meters, and he still couldn't reach the bottom. Wang Ke picked up all the branches, tied a knot in the air, and hoisted these things up, which could be regarded as helping Uncle Geng.

I was busy, so I thanked him for letting the whole team come in to visit.

Uncle Geng was very happy. This solved his troubles. For many years, he had been unable to do it. Even if he wanted to move a ladder down, no one would be able to do it.

As soon as they started working here, several more soldiers came from the command platoon, especially those from the reconnaissance squad. Hemp stalk Zhao Mingming and sweet potato Liang Xiaolong were both hung up by gaiters.

With this tidying up, the river channel was soon cleared of dead branches of all sizes.

"Lao Kezi, what did you find below?" In addition to what he was holding in his hands, health worker Yu Deben also had two trousers pockets filled with peaches.

Xiao Gao, the telephone monitor, said: "Hygienist, this kind of food cannot be eaten. Even if it can be eaten, you can see that it is covered with hair and it will definitely make your stomach ache."

Hygienist Yu Deben rolled his eyes at him, ignored him at all, and continued to shout to Wang Ke: "Did you find any treasure?"

His words made almost all the soldiers in the command platoon laugh. Although the river was a little curved, you could basically see from one end to the other, and there was nothing hidden except dead branches and leaves.

But the health worker Yu Deben has seen Wang Ke's ability. He has long suspected Wang Ke, but he has never found evidence. Otherwise, he would not trade his Hongmei watch for Wang Ke's from the county.

That broken pocket watch.

He believed that Wang Ke must have superhuman abilities or special powers, but he couldn't tell what they were.

And Wang Ke is really famous. As soon as he finished cleaning up the river here, he immediately called: "Where is Gu Maolin, is he here?"

"Here!" Gu Maolin stuck his head out from behind the crowd and said to Wang Ke: "Platoon leader, I'm here."

"Bring a telescope down and put the two recruits on first." Wang Ke said.

"Platoon leader, what else do you have to do?" Digua Liang Xiaolong and Ma Zhu Zhao Mingming were stunned. The bottom of the river has been cleaned, so how can there be any work to do?

"Old monitor, are you here?"

"Yes." Huang Zhonghe, the wireless squad leader, also stuck his head out from the bridge.

"Except for Gu Maolin and Wang Mingsheng, please organize the entire platoon. First help Uncle Geng get the dead branches and leaves outside the cemetery, and then wait for us in the side hall."

"yes!"

Everyone scrambled to drag the two recruits up and put Gu Maolin down.

"Old Kezi, what are you doing?" Health worker Yu Deben was unwilling to leave. He squatted next to Wang Mingsheng and looked down at Wang Ke in the river.

"Lao Yu, let me help you pick some more peach trees. It's better to pick them down below." Wang Ke looked at the health worker Yu Deben slyly. Although the peach tree grew beside the rocks on the shore, the whole branches were hanging down.

In the river, it's less than two meters below. If it wasn't too dangerous, Uncle Geng would have chopped it down long ago.

"real?"

"Of course it's true. I'll ask Gu Maolin to pick up some of the things that fell on the ground for you."

"Very good."

"Gu Maolin, give me the telescope and ask Wang Mingsheng to pick up a benchmark bag. You first use your hat to help the health worker pick it up."

"I'll go, I'll go." Hygienist Yu Deben happily ran to get the canvas bag containing the benchmark without saying anything. He knew that Wang Ke had noticed.

"Platoon leader, what do you mean? Do you and the health worker still treat this rough peach as a treasure?" When Gu Maolin asked him to pick it up with his hat, he was a little worried. After all, it was a rough peach.

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly. I'll tell you later what's the use of this peach." Wang Ke said as he picked up the telescope, pointed it under the bridge and began to adjust the focus of the telescope's eyepiece.

After jumping off the dry river, he took a quick look and glanced under the three stone bridges. They were all paved with huge stone slabs. He noticed that under the northernmost bridge, there was a

The bridge not far from the peach tree has three "scratches" of different lengths on the side. If you don't pay attention, many people will think that they are scratches caused by friction during transportation.

But Wang Ke noticed that this was not an ordinary scratch, but a shallow mark made with a chisel.

Why are there three "imprints" left? It's easy to explain, it's a mark. So he wanted to see what was so weird about this bluestone slab with three carved imprints?

However, this is just a stone slab without any other cutouts. Moreover, these three scratches are not parallel, but scattered horizontally and vertically.

Wang Ke walked under the bridge, raised his head, and examined these "scratches" carefully. He really couldn't see anything.

"Lao Kezi, catch it." Hygienist Yu Deben threw down a standard bag.

Wang Ke picked it up, walked over, and started squatting under the tree to help Gu Maolin start picking it up.

Soon the benchmark bag bulged. "Platoon leader, I can just pick it up myself. This peach is quite irritating."

"It's okay." Wang Ke said, and he and Gu Maolin picked up the peach tree under the peach tree. Health workers Yu Deben and Wang Mingsheng were squatting on the bridge, looking at them.

Wang Ke said in a low voice like a mosquito: "Maolin, please help me take a look at the bridge stones under the bridge deck to see if there are any empty ones? Is there anything strange? Especially if there are any others.

thing?"

Gu Maolin raised his head and looked at Wang Ke suspiciously. Suddenly he realized. "Platoon leader, is this the bridge where they are squatting?"

"Yes, keep your voice down, and don't let anyone find out."

"yes."

The benchmark bag was quickly filled. Gu Maolin carried it under the bridge. Wang Ke took it and began to tie the gaiters to help the health worker Yu Deben to hang up. Gu Maolin took the opportunity to lift the stone slabs under the bridge, back and forth, and even

He even looked at the piers on both sides of the bridge and shook his head at Wang Ke.

"Then let's go up."

"Lao Kezi, are you sure you want to come up?" Hygienist Yu Deben was a little unwilling to give up. He was very suspicious and wanted to confirm. How could Wang Ke go down and come up so easily?

"Nonsense, what are you doing if you don't come up? I'm here to help you. Don't you know what's going on?" Wang Ke has already made up his mind to go home and sort out his thoughts and find another opportunity.

"Oh well."

Hygienist Yu Deben was carrying the benchmark bag and was about to leave. Wang Mingsheng's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Hygienist, wait a moment. I'll use the benchmark bag first."

Wang Mingsheng poured all the peaches in the benchmark bag onto the bridge, then folded the gaiters into two strands, tied them with the benchmark bag with a "pig's trotter buckle", and then put it down.

The two people above quickly dragged Gu Maolin up, and then Wang Ke.

Wang Ke looked at Wang Mingsheng with satisfaction and nodded. He stood aside and watched as Gu Maolin and health worker Yu Deben packed up the peaches again.

"Platoon leader, isn't this Maotao?" Wang Mingsheng asked Wang Ke while pretending.

"Why isn't it a hairy peach? Look at the core and the hair." Gu Maolin picked up one and wanted to bite it.

"Wait a minute, you can't eat it." Wang Mingsheng shouted. He reached out and picked up a leaf from the side and said, "Soldier, do you think this leaf looks like a peach tree?"

"How come it doesn't look like it? It's long and thin. Oh, it really doesn't look like it!" Gu Maolin took the leaves. The two in the middle looked like peach leaves, but there were three pointed and long ones connected to the side.

Xiaoye, it’s really hard to tell for those who don’t pay attention.

"How come the leaves of the peach tree are still so long?" Gu Maolin exclaimed in surprise.

"This is not a peach tree at all. Look, peaches can't be knotted like this." Wang Mingsheng no longer cares about whether Gu Maolin is a veteran. He walked over and picked a peach from the peach tree.

Milky white juice oozed from the wound.

"Hey, the peach is also dripping with juice?" Gu Maolin squeezed the sweaty pulp with his hands, which was still a little sticky. He rubbed it under his nose and smelled it, and there was still a faint fragrance.

"You are so stubborn. This is not Mao Tao." Wang Mingsheng turned away, disdainful to argue with Gu Maolin.

But Gu Maolin didn't understand. "Wang Mingsheng, you said it's not Maotao, what is it?"

At this time, Wang Mingsheng was also questioned. He was from the Mongolian ethnic group and naturally did not know this fruit. He looked at Wang Ke as if asking for help.

Wang Ke smiled and was about to speak when Gu Maolin wiped his hair and took a bite. He insisted that this was a plum peach. Since it was a plum peach, he could eat it. It might not taste good, but it would not be poisonous.

This time he was right. He took a bite and found that the skin was very firm. But there was no peach flavor. Instead, there was an aroma of coconut and a hint of spiciness. "Bah, bah, why is it the same as orange peel?"

Wang Ke smiled and looked at the health worker Yu Deben and then at Wang Mingsheng. He became more and more interested in this newly transferred recruit and observed every detail.

"Is the platoon leader right?" Wang Mingsheng asked again.

Wang Ke then said: "Don't argue, you two. In fact, Gu Maolin is right. It is indeed a peach."

"Is this a peach?" Wang Mingsheng's face was full of surprise.

"Yes, this is a peach, but it is not a peach in the true sense. Its name should be Wuzhi peach. It is a traditional Chinese medicine. Am I right? Lao Yu."

Health worker Yu Deben also opened his eyes in surprise. Coming from the south, he couldn't believe his ears. Because this kind of fruit is rare even in the south and is only concentrated in a few provinces. Wang Ke actually knew it.

"Five-fingered peach?" Gu Maolin and Wang Mingsheng shouted at the same time. Is there such a strange thing in this cemetery?

"Lao Yu, I'll tell you for you." Wang Ke raised his head, and after speaking to Deben, he turned back and said: "Wuzhi Maotao is a precious medicinal material. It tastes like orange peel, but it is pure.

The five-fingered peach has a faint coconut fragrance. It is born in mountain forests or valley bushes, as well as beside ditches in villages. It is only found in the south, such as Guangdong, Gui, and Gan provinces, but this

How come things appear in Xishan?"

Wang Ke said to himself, like the golden cobra on the eagle's mouth, it's so strange.

Hygienist Yu Deben was not only surprised now, he stretched out his thumb and said, "Old Kezi, this is incredible, do you even know this person?"

Hygienist Yu Deben came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine and worked as a barefoot doctor before joining the army. Naturally, he was familiar with this traditional Chinese medicine. He accidentally discovered the five-fingered peach in the cemetery. He was ecstatic.

Five-fingered peach is a peach plant belonging to the Moraceae family, but it is not a peach. It is named because its leaves look like five-fingered fingers and the fruit looks like a hairy peach when ripe. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and lungs, promoting qi and dampness, relaxing muscles and activating collaterals. Indications

Symptoms include spleen deficiency and edema, lack of food and weakness, tuberculosis, cough, night sweats, rheumatic arthralgia, edema, bruises and other symptoms.

The troops were stationed in Xishan for training. The humidity was heavy and the muscles were relaxed. At the same time, they were not eating well. Some soldiers had no appetite. These five-fingered peaches were naturally a good thing. Boiled with pig trotters and pig bones in soup, it was a great tonic. So.

, he picked it immediately.

Longquanzhuang, no, it should be said that Uncle Geng did not know the five-fingered peach. This tree was not easy to cut down, so it was spared. Yu Deben, like Wang Ke, was also curious, how could there be such a southern talent in the north?

What about some rare tree species?

"You have to keep it a secret for me!" Hygienist Yu Deben was afraid that Uncle Geng would find out and he would never be able to pick again.
