Zhao Ling searched one by one along the corridors of the wooden house until she found the end, but she still found no kitchen or anything like that. Could this old man be an immortal and not eat human foods?

Zhao Ling was helpless and had to come to the nearby creek. The sound of the water in the creek was murmur, and the bottom was clearly visible, and many fish, big and small, were playing happily in the water.

Zhao Ling broke off a branch, sharpened one end with the scalpel that he brought with him, took off his shoes, rolled up his skirt, stood in the stream, held the branch very accurately, and quickly forked five pieces. Six.

After thinking about it, she temporarily piled up firewood by the stream. The pile firewood was found in one of the wooden houses just now, and it was just so useful. She used her knowledge of the ancient times to drill wood in order to make fire.

Zhao Ling swiftly removed the scales of the fish and cut its belly open with a branch, and roasted it on the fire. Soon, there was a burst of sweet aroma. Smelling the aroma of the food, Zhao Ling felt even more hungry, and couldn't help eating the fish in a rush. But what Zhao Ling didn't know was that she wasn't the only one who was salivating at the moment.

Old Man Duan stood in front of the window, looking at Zhao Ling who was busy grilling fish with interest. No, to be precise, he was staring at the grilled fish in her hands, his eyes shining, and he couldn't stop swallowing.

For Duan old man, if it was for food, everything else could be thrown away. He had no hobbies in his life, the only thing he loved was all kinds of food. It was a pity that on this lonely island, there was really nothing good to eat. He was extremely lazy and didn't know how to cook. In addition, he was eccentric. He usually played pranks and teases people for fun, and as time went by, there was no one around to serve him.

Thinking about it, he hadn't smelled such a mouthwatering food scent for a long time. The old man Duan licked his dry lips, and with a flick of his body, he came to Zhao Ling's side, staring closely at the fish that was being grilled on the fire. It was golden in color and fragrant. He wiped the drool that dripped from his mouth, blinked at Zhao Ling a few times. "Girl, your grilled fish is really good, can you let me try it too?"

Zhao Ling looked up at him and couldn't help laughing. This old man was an old urchin, he did things casually, had a simple mind, and was quite cute. She deliberately raised her face and said coldly, "Didn't Hall Master Duan don't want to see me? Why did he come out now?"

Old Man Duan never took his eyes off the grilled fish, and waved his hands indifferently, "It was just now. Now is now, girl, you won't be so careful."

Zhao Ling snorted, pointed to the small stream next to her, and said, "If you want to eat it, just grab it yourself." If you wanted to eat for nothing, how could it be so cheap?

"Okay, I'll go catch the fish, and you'll grill the fish. We're done." The old man nodded, immediately stood up and rushed into the stream, catching the fish with his bare hands, and even catching the fish accurately, making Zhao Ling look at him with a stunned expression.

After a while, the old man came back with a bunch of fish, put it in front of Zhao Ling as if offering a treasure, and asked flatteringly, "How is it, girl, are these enough?"

Zhao Ling glanced at the pile of live fish on the ground, and the old man Duan looked eager to please. She suppressed her smile and gave him half of the grilled fish. He sat down and ate it. Sure enough, the pure natural and pollution-free taste was delicious. She grilled more and gave to Old Man Duan.

Old Man Duan took it with a wide-eyed smile, and sat on the ground like Zhao Ling, praising Zhao Ling's skill in grilling fish while eating.

"By the way, why did that boy Yin Zhan send you to me?"

In the wooden house, while eating grilled fish, Duan old man took a sip of wine from a wine gourd. While he was comfortable, he remembered the business at hand.

Wouldn't it be you who asked me to grill fish for you? Zhao Ling glanced at the way he was eating, took a slow sip from the tea cup, and said, "It's probably the same reason that you had. I'm shameful?"

It turned out that the name of the enchanting leader was Yin Zhan.

The old man slapped his thigh, "I remembered, Wuhen just said that you should be able to see people within half a month. However, you look like this..." He carefully looked at Zhao Ling's face and shook his head, "Half a month is indeed a bit difficult, but for the sake of grilling the fish you just gave me, old man will try his best."

Zhao Ling had been tormented by the poisonous comments of Wuxia and this group of people, and her mentality was now extremely strong. Hearing this, she just raised her eyebrows and continued to drink her tea.

In fact, what she initially thought was that since the demon leader had such a serious cleanliness, she should simply destroy her own face more, and make his plan completely over. Then, she changed her mind and decided to see what this old man could do.

However, this old man did had some skills. Under his external application and internal therapy, after ten days, the scars on her face were almost invisible, and the skin on her face became whiter, tenderer and smoother. Looking at her own reflection in the stream, sometimes even she herself would be dumbfounded. Is this person with a beautiful face, like a flower-like jade, really herself?

Old Man Duan looked at Zhao Ling's increasingly perfect face, and said proudly. "Tthis is the most conservative treatment. If the disfigurement is more serious, I could also use skin replacement to replace part of your face or the whole of your face. But as you can see, it wasnt too serious."

This old man could really change her face! Zhao Ling felt a chill all over her body, and instantly dispelled the idea of ​​deliberately disfiguring herself. Even if it was to be destroyed, it must not be in the Hundred Herbs Hall.. She didn't want her face to be covered with the human skin that Duan Duan got from somewhere.
