She frowned.
Looking at the woman's wound, it reminded her of the plants in the world of plants. Because they grew too close to each other, they were deprived of nutrients and eventually died because of weakness.
Therefore, although this kind of vine could use its sharp thorns to stab living things, and even its parasitic child ramets directly into the bodies of living things.
But no matter how many child ramets there were, only the strongest one would survive in the end.
This was a cruel competition rule.
It was the same for both the vines and the people they parasitized.
Soon, the man and the little girl brought what she needed.
"Step back first, and no matter what you see later, don't make a sound, understand?" She ordered.
The father and daughter nodded in horror, and then the two of them retreated to a corner of the room.
They couldn't help curling up together, becoming each other's support, and looked worriedly at the woman on the bed.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya had prepared before coming in.
She brought some powder of various colors, and the scalpels and silver needles that she usually used were also with her.
She first checked carefully with her hands, and found that the wound of the only surviving vine child ramets was hard, about ten centimeters in diameter, and it was radially decreasing.
This meant that the child ramets might also have developed.
Although she couldn't see it from the outside, there might be roots inside.
She couldn't be careless.
Otherwise, this woman would be dead.
After disinfecting the scalpel, she didn't know how to do it.
"Miss?"
The middle-aged man swallowed and called her in a weak voice.
She asked him with her eyes, and the man rubbed his hands and said dryly, "Just do it. In fact, my wife has been in so much pain these days. If, if she really dies, she can enjoy a happy life as soon as possible. "
Although that was what he said, she still saw the man's eyes turn red.
This man was not a coward.
In the face of the attack of the strange vines in the city, he chose to protect his wife, daughter, and those strangers.
However, he couldn't relieve his wife's pain, and because of his poor judgment, his daughter was almost killed.
Therefore, his current mood should be unimaginably complicated and anxious.
However, in the face of his wife's only hope, he still stood up and wanted to seek an outcome for his wife.
How courageous and calm did he have to be to do that?
At this moment, she seemed to be infected by the man, and her mind couldn't help but calm down.
She nodded slightly.
"I understand."
With a spurt of energy, she slowly and powerfully made the first cut according to the part she had chosen earlier.
When the skin was cut open, there was no blood inside. Instead, after the skin was cut open, they found that there was a faint dark green color inside.
That was why the vines had taken root inside.
As she carefully opened up the woman's wound, she recalled Elder Cheng's expression when he went berserk.
At that time, the vines on Elder Cheng's body had directly broken out of his body.
He was still bleeding profusely from his wounds.
However, there was no blood in the wound that she had opened. In other words, if the vines were parasitic to a certain extent, they might not suck the human's flesh and blood dry, but in another way to achieve symbiosis?
She continued to dig inside.
Soon, she discovered that the small seedling had already grown into a fist-sized lump.
However, because it was hidden in the woman's flesh, it didn't look that scary from the outside.
"Ah!"
Behind her, the girl couldn't help but let out a soft cry. However, she immediately thought of Lin Mengya's instructions and covered her mouth tightly.
However, her pair of clear eyes couldn't help but be tainted with some fear.
That was a living person!
That strange, snake-like vine was firmly rooted under her mother's flesh.
From that moment on, the girl was not only afraid, but also a little more obsessed.
That vine was a disaster, a ghost, and an omen!
She must think of a way to get rid of this thing completely in the future!
Lin Mengya didn't look at the girl and changed her hands to silver needles.
Although she wasn't very clear about the trajectory of the vine's usual activities, she was sure that the so-called nutrition that the vine absorbed was the blood of a living person.
She placed the needles in her hands and sealed a few meridians on the woman's back, completely cutting off the vine's source of nutrition.
She couldn't seal it for too long, or the parts that were sealed would die.
So, she was taking a gamble.
Time passed slowly.
Seeing that the woman's sealed parts were gradually turning pale, Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The vine still didn't move.
In the system, Xiaoyao was also constantly analyzing.
"Could it be that we guessed wrong? Doesn't the vine rely on the blood vessels to absorb blood? "
But how could the blood on the back be enough to nourish the vine?
Lin Mengya had already raised her hands.
If there was still no reaction in ten seconds, she would immediately pull out the silver needles and let the blood pass through that part.
All of a sudden, the vine moved.
She thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her, but she didn't expect that the next moment, the vine, which was still tightly clinging to the woman's body, would be pulled out from the woman's wound like an octopus.
At this moment, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Lin Mengya had been staring at it intently.
It seemed that the vine was really going to move.
But how could Lin Mengya give it such a chance?
She quickly used the needles.
In just a few seconds, she sealed all the places where the vine could move.
Then, when the last root of the vine was pulled out of the woman's body, Lin Mengya quickly pulled out the vine with her bare hands, and almost at the same time, the other hand pulled out the silver needles on the woman's back.
"Fire!"
She shouted coldly, and the guard immediately came to her with a brazier.
Lin Mengya tied a knot, covered the vine with a piece of cloth, and threw it into the red-hot brazier.
The cloth had been soaked in kerosene, and almost as soon as it came into contact with the sparks, it burst into flames.
Then, Lin Mengya smelt a strong smell of burning.
She only saw that the burnt vine struggled violently for a few times, and then turned into ashes.
The whole process actually took only a few minutes.
But for the people around, it was enough to be remembered for a lifetime.
Especially the father and daughter.
Their understanding was almost directly overturned.
Was that thing really just a vine?
"Now that the patient has lost a lot of blood, the best way is to rest. As for whether there will be any sequelae, it's hard to say now. "
Lin Mengya quickly cleaned the other wounds, and then finished suturing. She took off the sheep intestine gloves and instructed the father and daughter.
It seemed that her guess just now was right.
This vine's child plant depended on sucking the blood of the host.
For survival and development.
If the host died, then the child plant would leave and find a new host.
This was a very terrible characteristic.
If the host really left, then once the conditions were met, the vine would start to parasite, and then cause a catastrophe.
But there was one thing that she could not figure out.
Why did the vines shrink when she tore open the woman's skin?
She found a few small holes on the woman's back.
Obviously, these were the traces left by the child plant when it wanted to expand.
Perhaps, the disappearance of the entire Sheng family was like the woman, and all the vines shrank back to where they were?
She suddenly had an extremely bad feeling in her heart.
"Eldest Brother, before the vine suddenly disappeared, did anything strange happen here?"
She asked.
The middle-aged man who was busy taking care of his wife was also stunned.
Of course, he would tell her everything he knew about the savior of his wife.
After thinking hard for a while, he patted his head and said, "If there is anything strange, my daughter seemed to smell a flower last night."
He nudged the little girl.
The little girl was still timid, but at least she was brave enough to talk to her.
"I, I smelled it last night when I was boiling medicine for my mother in the yard."
The medicine was bitter, so the little girl noticed the unique flower fragrance in the air.
Moreover, those people were very timid and only hid in the house, refusing to come out or open the windows, so she did not smell it.
"Master, I think we might have to run for our lives."
Xiao Yao could not help but warn her in the system.
If the child plant was in its infancy, then those huge vines that could almost cover the entire Sheng family's city were likely to be in their adulthood.
The wounds caused by the vines when they broke out of Elder Sheng's body had all disappeared.
Obviously, some of the energy absorbed by the vines could be fed back to the host.
So, how far could the vines grow after so many lives in Sheng family's city?
Lin Mengya's expression became even more serious.
"Inform the people outside to help and send the survivors out of the city! The rest of you, follow me to the Sheng family's residence to check out the situation. "
Before that, she had to thoroughly check the condition of those people's bodies to prevent them from taking the child sprouts out.
Most of the people looked like they were crying tears of joy when they heard that they could leave the city.
Very few of them were against the inspection that Lin Mengya and the others mentioned.
However, sh * t-stirrers were unavoidable no matter where they were.
"Get your filthy hands off me! I'll chop off your hands if you dare to touch me again! "
The foppish Zhao was the one who made the most noise.
Lin Mengya frowned as she walked over, only to see that he was about to hit her people in exasperation.
"What are you doing?"
Time was of the essence. Every second that passed would put them and the people here in danger.
However, the foppish Zhao glared at her fiercely.
"I'll leave if I want to. I don't need your fake kindness!"
This was really a case of a dog biting the hand that feeds it.
"I'm just asking you to take off your clothes for inspection. It's a special situation, so I hope you can understand and cooperate."
"Heh, I can take off my clothes if you want."
The foppish Zhao pointed at her, a wretched smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Let her and that little girl come and help me undress, and I'll agree!"
