After hearing the strange voice, Guan Xing's palms instantly broke out in cold sweat. He looked around and didn't see anyone.

He bit his cigarette butt, thinking that he must have heard it wrong.

Before he could calm down, he suddenly saw a strange shadow on the wall! He didn't know how to describe this shadow, it was dark and deep, and its shape was somewhat like a human, but it was also wriggling like a mollusk.

As if it had sensed his gaze, the shadow on the wall moved closer to him, and the hoarse voice sounded again, this time in an urging tone: "Young man, can I borrow a cigarette?"

He heard it right!!

The string in Guan Xing's head snapped, and extreme fear made him scream with his mouth wide open, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.

His survival instinct made him flee towards the B&B. The moment he started running, his body hit a wave of cold air. He felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen and his heart was tightly gripped by something. His fear and anxiety disappeared, leaving only pure frustration and despair.

It was not until he passed through the cold current that his heart began to beat again. He continued to run, panting and crying.

Behind him, the cigarette that fell on the ground slowly floated into the air and hovered.

If anyone noticed the shadow on the wall, they would find that it was holding a cigarette, but the shape of the hand was very strange.

"There is no lighter, I need a lighter..." A deep voice sounded on the deserted road.

The cigarette hanging in the air disappeared silently, and the strange shadow moved towards the direction of the B&B and instantly merged into the dark night.

"Zizi——" The flickering street light broke down completely.

…

A self-entertainment concert is being held in the public area on the first floor of the B&B.

Jiang Xingmian sat beside a low coffee table holding a guitar, playing and singing skillfully. The amateur and celebrity guests who had become familiar with him sat around on the carpet and sofa, gently beating the beat for him.

Several cats in the B&B curled up next to Shi Xi to rest. Bai Man took a picture of this scene with her SLR camera. She smiled and came close to her to show her the photo: "Teacher Xiao Shi, my photography skills are pretty good, right?"

Shi Xi lowered his head to look at the photo, the corners of his lips slowly rising. Bai Man had taken really good photos. The composition was very beautiful, and she was also good at capturing the characteristics of the characters.

In her lens, Shi Xi and the kittens around her seem to be of the same kind. They look lazy and comfortable, but their eyes are cold, as if they will show their claws and fangs at any time if someone comes to disturb them.

Shi Xi liked this photo very much: "It's really well taken."

"The photos that my teacher took for me before were also beautiful," Bai Man said with a smile, "I was the president of the school photography club when I was in college. If I can't make it in the entertainment industry in the future, I will either go home and inherit the restaurant or become a photographer."

Shi Xi looked at her and said, "I think you are quite suitable to be a star. Your cuteness is very contagious."

Bai Man's smile became even brighter, and she said frankly, "My teacher actually praised me for being cute. I'm so happy. People often say online that I'm a variety show star, and I can't do anything except act cute in variety shows. For a while, I was really depressed by being scolded, and I was reluctant to continue participating in variety shows, but now I feel very lucky. This is the happiest variety show I've ever recorded."

"I have so many wonderful experiences and feelings, but I am embarrassed to say them in front of you. If you are curious, remember to check out my Weibo."

Shi Xi chuckled: "I'll definitely watch it."

After the song ended, Jiang Xingmian gave the guitar to an amateur guest and came to Shi Xi and Bai Man and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about variety shows. Teacher Jiang is great and sings beautifully." Bai Man applauded Jiang Xingmian.

Jiang Xingmian smiled shyly: "Teacher Bai, don't tease me. I'm just an amateur. Teacher Bai, did you take pictures for me? My KPI for posting selfies this month depends on you."

Bai Man raised her chin proudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I guarantee that I will capture your most handsome moment."

"Thank you, Mr. Bai," Jiang Xingmian said jokingly, "I'll sing 'Thank You' later."

Bai Man heard a voice in her head: "No, I beg you not to sing."

The atmosphere in the lobby of the B&B was harmonious, when Guan Xing, looking distraught, rushed in.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him at the same time.

Guan Xing had cold sweat on his forehead, a terrified expression, and tears in the corners of his eyes. He looked more than just embarrassed, it was obvious that he had encountered something.

Shi Xi stood up, his eyes slightly raised: "What's wrong with you?"

Seeing the crowd, Guan Xing finally felt better. He slumped to the ground, his voice trembling, "I saw a ghost."

He was so frightened that he dared not even utter the word "ghost" out loud, for fear of attracting the ghost.

When everyone heard this answer, they didn't know what to say for a moment and the hall was very quiet.

Shi Xi thought of the tomato with only pinch marks, and his eyes darkened: "Tell me in detail."

Guan Xing swallowed his saliva and said, "I just left the B&B and found a deserted place to smoke. Then I heard a very strange voice saying 'borrow a cigarette'. I thought I heard it wrong, but when I turned around, I saw a ghost on the wall!"

"Are you sure that's not your own shadow?"

"I was standing under the street light, and my shadow was right under my feet!" Guan Xing grabbed his hair in annoyance. "That's right, that light... When I heard that sound, the street light flashed abnormally. I was very scared, so I ran back, but the road suddenly became very long, as if someone was chasing me from behind. I ran for a very long time... before I got back here."

When he returned, there was no one in the yard of the B&B. He was so scared that he ran towards the lights without caring about anything.

Bai Man was interested in supernatural stories. After listening to them, she was not afraid but a little excited: "Teacher Guan, is this a ghost story? I didn't expect that a supernatural story would happen on this farm."

The amateur guest holding a guitar plucked the strings and played a short soothing piece of music: "Maybe not. After all, Mr. Guan didn't see the ghost himself. I think these are just psychological cues he had in the dark environment. For example, he felt that the road became longer. It is very likely that he took the wrong road in a panic."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if you were haunted," Jiang Xingmian helped Guan Xing up. "There are so many people here, you are safe now. I suggest you take a good shower and have a good sleep. Nothing will happen when you wake up tomorrow."

At this time, Guan Xing's assistant ran downstairs and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Guan Xing: "Brother Xing, you are finally back. Why didn't you answer my call?"

Guan Xing took out his cell phone and saw several missed calls: "My phone is on silent."

"Glad you're back. We have some work matters to discuss." Guan Xing's assistant glanced at the others and said to Guan Xing, "Shall we go back to the room and talk?"

Guan Xing has calmed down by now and is not so scared anymore. He even realizes that his behavior just now was a bit embarrassing.

He straightened his messy clothes, put on a calm attitude, and went upstairs with his assistant.

"Teacher Xiao Shi, you are a professional, what do you think?" Bai Man looked at Shi Xi and asked in a low voice: "Are there really ghosts on the farm?"

Shi Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't rule out this possibility. If what Guan Xing said is true, and the ghost just wants to borrow a cigarette, it's not a big problem."

If he met a vicious ghost, Guan Xing would never be able to come back.

But she was a little surprised that these guests were so brave and were not afraid at all when hearing about Guan Xing's experience.

Bai Man nodded, her eyes sparkling: "I didn't expect that I would get a bedtime story as a gift when I came to record a show. This show is worthwhile to record."

Jiang Xingmian: "You treat this kind of ghost encounter as a bedtime story?"

Bai Man: "Yes, I usually fall asleep listening to horror stories. I have a few late-night radio stations I treasure. Do you want me to recommend them to you?"

Jiang Xingmian waved his hand: "No need, no need."

It was already late at night, and in order not to disturb others' rest, their concert ended here.

Bai Man said to Shi Xi and Jiang Xingmian: "Your photos don't need to be retouched. I'll send them to you in a while. Good night."

After washing up, Shi Xi curled up in bed and checked Weibo. This episode of the variety show received a very good response, and many netizens were discussing her sunset makeup and several classic dishes for tonight, but the hottest topic was her magical physique that attracted animals.

[Does Shi Xi know animal summoning? He attracted so many fish just by standing on the shore. ]

[The name of this summoning technique is: Farm Owner Bankruptcy Technique. ]

[Knowing that Shi Xi has magical powers, he still dares to give him a free travel card. How many farms does Brother Shu have? 】

[The farm is going to be popular, and Brother Shu will only make money and not lose money. ]

[I also have magical powers. I am insulated from animals, but I am a fan of Furui. I am so envious that I am crying.]

[Is this really not a supernatural phenomenon? ]

[I'll be frank, I want to go fishing with Xiaoxi. ]

Many netizens are also complaining about Guan Xing.

[After watching the drama, I had a good impression of Guan Xing, so I followed his farm variety show, but I was disillusioned. He was so disappointing. ]

[Some people are really not suitable for participating in variety shows because it is too easy to expose their shortcomings. ]

【Thanks to Guan Xing, he let me see the little girl, I have been trapped. 】

As she was looking at it, Weibo reminded Shi Xi that Bai Man and Jiang Xing had unfollowed her.

Shi Xi followed them back and saw their new Weibo posts.

【Bai Bai Bai Man: I had a lot of fun at the farm today. Not only was the food great, but I also made some great friends! Thank you to Teacher Xiao Shi for giving me a beautiful sunset makeup look, and thank you to Chef Chen for his patient guidance, which gave me a new understanding of cooking. The most profound feeling after recording the show is: I can eat meat with Teacher Xiao Shi! @时晞. 】

Bai Man posted nine photos taken on the farm, and deliberately placed the photo of Shi Xi in the center.

Jiang Xingmian forwarded Bai Man’s Weibo and also @时晞: Follow Teacher Xiao to have meat to eat~

Then he posted a few photos taken of him by Bai Man. @白蔓: You can have a lot of handsome photos by following Teacher Bai.

Shi Xi reposted their Weibo and also posted the photos that Bai Man took of her.

Shi Xi is very popular now. As soon as the Weibo post was published, it attracted a lot of fans, and the number of reposts, likes and comments is increasing rapidly.

Shi Xi was so sleepy that she left a comment saying "good night" and soon fell asleep.

Happiness belongs to them. After dealing with a bunch of troubles at work, Guan Xing fell on the bed exhausted. He was obviously very sleepy, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

The surroundings were so quiet that he could not help but think of that strange shadow and that terrible voice, so clear that they seemed to be right next to his ears.

Fear crept into his heart again.

…

In the middle of the night, Shi Xi was awakened by the little Taoist priest.

Shi Xi opened his eyes and looked at the little Taoist priest sleepily: "What's the matter?"

"I just wanted to go out for a walk, and I saw Bai Man coming downstairs..." Zhang Qingyu said seriously, "She doesn't look right. I smell the smell of Yin energy. Maybe there's a ghost causing trouble. Junior sister, go and take a look."

Shi Xi was completely awake: "Turn on the light."

Zhang Qingyu snapped his fingers and the bedside lamp lit up.

Shi Xi lifted the quilt and sat up, saying calmly: "I have not received any tasks from the system. The demons that are causing trouble are not here to take my life."

Zhang Qingyu nodded: "This ghost is very good at hiding its aura. We have been hanging around the farm. It must have noticed it a long time ago. It doesn't dare to challenge us directly, so it hides in the dark and does things secretly. In your words..."

"It's testing the edge of danger." Shi Xi picked up a notebook and a marker and left the room.

After going downstairs, Shi Xi saw that the door of the B&B was open. After walking into the yard, he saw a small light on in the semi-open-air kitchen.

Zhang Qingyu looked worried: "Why is Bai Man going to the kitchen? Is she going to do something to my food?"

“…”

Shi Xi walked into the kitchen and saw Bai Man standing in front of the counter cutting vegetables. Her movements were very stiff, like a puppet with strings pulled by someone.

"Big abuse! She really attacked my food!" Zhang Qingyu looked at his food distressedly: "Junior sister, I think she is controlled by a ghost. If you put a calming talisman on her, she will wake up. Take her back quickly."

Shi Xi smiled and shook his head: "This is also the cultivation of a foodie."

Shi Xi drew a calming talisman on the notebook and tore it off neatly.

"Turn on another light."

Zhang Qingyu said "hmm" and turned on the headlight above Bai Man's head, and the kitchen immediately became much brighter.

Shi Xi clearly saw that Bai Man's face was pale, her eyelashes drooped and her eyes were dull.

In addition to the Yin energy on Zhang Qingyu, Shi Xi only sensed a very weak Yin energy attached to Bai Man.

Shi Xi glanced at the kitchen and found nothing else unusual, but she found that the rice cooker was working and there was an open jar of butter sauce next to Bai Man's chopping board.

Could it be that this ghost is coming for this jar of secret sauce?

Shi Xi took the talisman paper and walked towards Bai Man quietly.

Bai Man suddenly stopped what she was doing, turned her head and looked at her, her eyes were dull and extremely cold.

Bai Man turned around mechanically with the knife in hand and uttered a low voice: "I just want to make a bowl of butter fried rice, don't interfere with me, leave here immediately!"

I really came here for this bald butter sauce.

Shi Xi folded the paper in his hand slowly and calmly, his voice was cold: "You are hurting my friends, I'm afraid you are not qualified to let me leave."

Bai Man pressed her eyelashes and said, "I'll let her go after I finish cooking."

"Okay." Shi Xi curled his lips and threw the folded paper airplane in his hand casually, watching it fly towards "Bai Man" with the breeze.

Bai Man didn't know that the paper airplane was a talisman, so she reached out and pinched it: "Go play somewhere else."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Bai Man"'s eyes widened and he was blasted out of his body by the golden light emitted by the paper airplane!

Several twisted wisps of black negative energy formed a ghost face in the air and drilled into the ground screaming.

Shi Xi supported the unconscious Bai Man and asked Zhang Qingyu to chase after her.

Zhang Qingyu chased after him as fast as he could, but still lost him.

Zhang Qingyu returned to Shi Xi and complained, "This ghost is really good at escaping, professionally. This ghost is slippery and hard to catch, but it has no intention of killing anyone. After being taught a lesson by you, it should not dare to do it again."

Shi Xi woke up Bai Man.

"Teacher Xiaoshi, why are you here?" Bai Man saw that Shi Xi was confused. She covered her head and said, "I feel dizzy."

Shi Xi helped Bai Man sit down next to him and poured her a glass of water: "Drink some water, slowly."

After drinking half a glass of water in one breath, Bai Man was completely awake. She looked around and asked, "Why are we in the kitchen?"

Before Shi Xi could answer, Bai Man noticed the dishes and the opened butter sauce on the counter and had a guess: "Could it be that I was sleepwalking while cooking and you heard the noise and came out to save me?"

It seemed that she had no memory of what happened before. Shi Xi asked, "Have you ever sleepwalked before?"

Bai Man shook her head. She was a senior fan of supernatural culture. She immediately thought of Guan Xing's experience of encountering ghosts and Shi Xi's identity as a ghost-hunting anchor.

Her heartbeat quickened, and Bai Man took a deep breath: "Teacher Xiaoshi, tell me the truth, am I sleepwalking or... possessed by evil spirits?"

"Is it a ghost?" She asked, and Shi Xi did not hide it.

Shi Xi drew a peace charm and handed it to her: "Carry it with you to ward off evil and avoid misfortune."

"A supernatural story actually happened to me, but I don't remember anything," Bai Man sighed, carefully folded the talisman paper, and held it in her palm: "So, now I can be sure that what Guan Xing said is true. Is the ghost who asked him to borrow a cigarette the same one that haunts me?"

"Not necessarily," Shi Xi said, "The ghost that's haunting you is after your bald butter sauce. You'd better not let the talisman leave your body during this period. When you have time, go to Wuyou Temple and ask for a better quality one to wear on your body."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaoshi. I will do as you say."

The two cleaned up the kitchen and tiptoed back to the B&B.

Shi Xi said: "The surveillance camera of the B&B may have captured some footage."

Bai Man: "I'll take care of this. I'll ask Brother Shu to help delete it tomorrow."

Bai Man didn't remember anything, and she didn't feel much psychological pressure, but she still decided to sleep with the bedside lamp on. After lying back in bed, she soon felt sleepy.

She put the talisman paper into her pajama pocket and suddenly found something in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a deflated cigarette box and a lighter.

"Oh my God, now I'm sure it's the same ghost." Bai Man didn't dare to think too much and threw them into the trash can.

…

The next morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the farm, Guan Xing opened his eyes.

He felt very tired, especially his hands, which were so sore that he couldn't even lift them.

He rubbed his arms, sat up, and found himself sleeping in the field!

What's outrageous is that there are two large baskets filled with weeds next to him.

He knew why his hands were so tired, he must have been possessed by evil spirits again, having spent the entire night manually weeding the crops!!

Does this ghost have any quirks? Guan Xing covered his face and cried: "Why is it me again? I will never record a farming variety show again..."
