When Shi Xi got up and went downstairs, Bai Man, who had woken up early, had already asked Brother Shu to delete the surveillance footage of her "sleepwalking" last night, and of course also deleted the footage of Shi Xi going to rescue her.

Bai Man handed Shi Xi a cup of hand-ground coffee and said in a low voice, "Teacher Xiao Shi, when I returned to my room last night, I found a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in my pocket. I can be sure that the ghost that haunted me is the same ghost that asked Guan Xing to borrow a cigarette."

Shi Xi took a sip of coffee and asked calmly, "Where's the cigarette?"

"I threw it into the trash can, and now it should have been cleaned up by Auntie."

Bai Man moved closer and mentioned another thing: "When I went to see Brother Shu, he looked a little unhappy. Before I could say anything, he asked me, 'Are you here to delete the surveillance footage too?' I asked him who else had requested the surveillance footage be deleted, but he kept silent. However, he assured me that he had not asked that person to back up the surveillance video, so there was no need to worry about privacy being leaked."

"It must be Guan Xing," Shi Xi speculated, "Guan Xing might have been possessed by evil spirits earlier than you last night. After the ghost got cigarettes and lighters from Guan Xing, it manipulated Guan Xing to leave the B&B to do something, and then manipulated you to cook. When I woke up, I only found you and ignored Guan Xing. After the ghost escaped from me, it went to find Guan Xing again."

Bai Man nodded and continued to sort out the situation: "After Guan Xing woke up this morning, he realized that he had been possessed by evil spirits last night, so he immediately went to find Brother Shu to delete the surveillance footage. When Brother Shu was checking the surveillance footage, he saw me sleepwalking, so he immediately told him my purpose."

Shi Xi narrowed his eyes. "Guan Xing actually asked Brother Shu to back up the surveillance video. I don't know what crooked idea he has. He really just learned his lesson but never learned it."

"Fortunately, he didn't succeed, and he must be too busy to take care of himself now. His performance in the variety show was not pleasing." Bai Man smiled and handed the phone to Shi Xi: "My little teacher, surf the Internet, you are super popular now!"

Shi Xi looked at the screen. Bai Man opened the Weibo hot search interface. "Evening Canteen" was on three hot searches, ranking second, sixth and twelfth respectively.

#Shixi has a small animal trap on him#

#This food variety show is super healing#

#Beautiful sunset atmosphere makeup#

Shi Xi had already come across these topics last night. After one night, they all became hot searches.

[I can testify that I had a small animal trap on me when I was young, and I have been caught.]

[Before I clicked on the live broadcast, I thought this kind of small variety show must be shoddy. After clicking on the live broadcast, I really liked it. It doesn’t have luxurious scenes or top-tier guests, but its style is healing and the guests are interesting. It’s really good and will never be late. ]

[My mother followed me to the evening cafeteria last night. Today, our family’s menu is scallion chicken, steamed prawns with garlic vermicelli, steamed fish, blanched lettuce and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. I am very happy.]

[I think a good food variety show should be like the Evening Canteen, which makes people want to make the same dish after watching it, and they should be able to make the same dish. ]

"I found that Shi Xi has a special quality. No matter what she does, she always enjoys it the most. She has a strong infectiousness that makes you want to play with her."

"It's such a blessing to be her friend. All the beauty makeup masters please quickly post makeup imitation videos, don't force me."

Bai Man read two popular comments on Weibo, nodded in agreement, and gave a thumbs up: "The netizens have expressed my feelings, but Teacher Xiao is better than they imagined. He can really save his friend's life at the critical moment. Oh, this is definitely the best result since the launch of "Evening Canteen". The production team must be very happy."

As it turned out, the program crew was really happy and specially prepared a super sumptuous breakfast for the guests.

Guan Xing didn't show up, so Shi Xi asked the director and found out that he had left the farm early in the morning.

The director probably heard from Brother Shu about the "sleepwalking" incident last night. Before leaving the table, he said, "Xiao Shi, Man Man, I want to discuss something with you. Meet me in the conference room after breakfast."

When they arrived at the conference room, the director asked them to sit down.

"Brother Shu has already told me about the supernatural incident that happened last night. Don't blame him. He has an obligation to inform me when something like this happens, and he had already deleted the surveillance video when he told me. I haven't seen the video, but I trust him, and I trust you too."

The director got straight to the point and said, "I've asked someone to contact professionals. They will solve the hidden dangers on the farm before the next recording and minimize the impact. I hope you can keep this matter confidential. I've already informed Guanhang. If you need help, you can also contact me."

Shi Xi and Bai Man nodded, indicating that it was no problem.

"You can leave now," the director shook hands with them one by one, "We'll work together again if there's a chance."

The director came up with a solution. Shi Xi no longer needed to interfere in the affairs of the program team and the farm. After leaving the meeting room, she took the fruits and vegetables that Shu Ge had packed for her, got into the car arranged by the program team, and left the farm.

As soon as he returned to the city, Shi Xi's phone vibrated. He took out his phone and saw that it was a friend request from Wuyouguan's account.

[Excuse me, are you Taoist Master Zhang Qingshi? My last name is Cen, and I am a variety show director. I have run into some problems with my recording location, and I need your help.]

“…”

So the professional the director was talking about was her???

After all the twists and turns, this job still falls to her.

After Shi Xi accepted the director's friend request, he asked him: "Master Cen, through whom did you find me?"

Director Cen: [Feng Qian is my junior. When he learned that I was in trouble, he asked me to contact the Taoist priest. The situation is urgent. If the Taoist priest can help me solve the problem as soon as possible, I will offer a reward of 500,000.]

Shi Xi calculated with his fingers and decided that it was time to replace "Zhang Qingshi" with a new identity.

Just pick a name.

Shi Xi replied: [Master Wuyou will help you solve the problem. If you are satisfied with the result, you can transfer the reward to the account I gave you and I will pass it on to her.]

Director Cen was a little worried: [Master Qingshi, I trust you more, I hope you can come in person. ]

Shi Xi: [Don't worry, Donor Cen, Taoist Wuliu is better than me. ]

After hearing this, Director Cen hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: [Okay, "Master Wuyou" sounds like a hermit master, so please.]

Shi Xi nodded with satisfaction. From now on, I, Taoist Wuliu, will be a hermit master.

Director Cen told Shi Xi what had happened. Most of the information he told Shi Xi was already known to him, but there was one piece of information that Shi Xi only knew now.

Director Cen: [It was about six in the morning, when it was still light, and I woke up from the cold. I didn’t take it seriously, and turned over and continued to sleep. Then I suddenly heard someone ask me, “Do you have a cigarette?” I was too confused to think it was a dream, and answered casually, “The cigarette is in my shirt pocket.”]

[After a while, I smelled cigarette smoke, and the voice said to me again, 'I've been pulling weeds all night, I'm exhausted, how long are you going to record here?' I immediately lost my sleepiness, but I didn't dare to open my eyes. ]

[I was very scared at the time, I dared not move, I waited anxiously, but the voice did not appear again. After the smell of smoke dissipated, I lost consciousness, maybe I fell asleep or fainted from shock. When I woke up in the morning, I felt that it was a nightmare again. I searched my shirt pockets for some reason and found that the cigarettes and lighter were gone. ]

[Later, I heard about two guests who were sleepwalking last night, and I was sure that I was also affected. I can no longer remember the timbre of that voice, but I always felt that it was familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.]

After listening to Director Cen's story, Shi Xi suddenly realized that after the ghost manipulated Guan Xing, he took advantage of the sun before coming out to steal a pack of cigarettes from Director Cen.

No wonder Director Cen believed Brother Shu’s words even though he didn’t see the surveillance video. No wonder he was so proactive and anxious to resolve the matter. No wonder he offered the price so readily.

He must be afraid that the ghost will come to him to borrow a cigarette again tonight.

It's really not easy for him to pretend to be so calm in front of everyone.

Shi Xi discovered two key points from Director Cen's narration, and she replied: [You felt that the voice of the chain-smoker was familiar, and he asked you "how long will you record here?" Combining these two points, I think he might be someone you know. Has anyone you know passed away recently? ]

Director Cen quickly replied: [No. Taoist Priest, this ghost might have followed me to the farm?]

Shi Xi: [Maybe.]

Director Cen became even more frightened: [Master, can you ask Master Wuyou to come over as soon as possible? ]

Shi Xi has to go back to the crew to film tomorrow morning, so he simply tells him that Taoist Wuliu will come to see him tonight.

Shi Xi returned home, put the fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, made a big meal for the evil spirits, and relaxed.

In the evening, Shi Xi picked up a canvas bag containing tools, put on a mask and a hat, and entered the subway station.

After coming out of the Farm subway station, she took off her hat, changed her clothes into a pink T-shirt and light-colored shorts, and wore a pair of rimless glasses on her nose.

Under the lenses were a pair of clear and innocent drooping eyes, with long and curled light-colored eyelashes. The iconic red teardrop mole had been erased, and the eyebrows had been trimmed to be delicate and long.

Seeing these eyes and eyebrows, no one would have thought that she was Shi Xi.

Shi Xi arrived at the farm gate and saw Director Cen's assistant.

Shi Xi walked up to him, and Assistant Director Cen mistook her for a tourist and smiled at her: "Little girl, what's the matter?"

Shi Xi said in a weak and slow voice: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm the one you're waiting for."

Assistant Director Cen was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly: "Master Wuyou?"

Shi Xi nodded.

Assistant Director Cen opened his eyes wide in surprise, a little at a loss: "Master, you are too young, aren't you?"

Shi Xi just said: "Please lead the way."

Assistant Director Cen didn't dare to treat her as an ordinary girl anymore, and quickly opened the car door, and said respectfully: "Master, please get in the car. It's still some distance from here to the B&B."

The car arrived at the door of the B&B. Director Cen and Brother Shu came out to pick people up. When they saw Shi Xi get off the car, they were both stunned and looked into the car at the same time.

Director Cen asked, "Where is Taoist Priest Wuyou?"

Shi Xi pointed at himself: "That's me."

Director Cen said in his heart: A Taoist priest who is more powerful than Taoist Priest Zhang Qingshi, so young and looks so cute? Can she really exorcise ghosts? Is Wuyouguan playing a trick on me?

Director Cen's face froze. "Little Taoist priest, I'm quite direct, please don't mind. We will soon record the next episode, and there is no time to waste. Are you sure you can solve this problem? Why not ask Taoist priest Qingshi to come down the mountain? I can increase the reward."

Shi Xi pushed the frame of his glasses and said, "I don't want to waste my time. If I can't solve it, I won't charge you a penny."

Director Cen asked in a deep voice: "Can you take responsibility for this decision?"

"Of course." Shi Xi tied her hair up with a hair tie and said slowly, "The ghost is very alert. Once you enter this door, don't call me Taoist Priest. Just call me Wuyou."

"Okay." Since she said so, Director Cen could only agree to let her try.

Shi Xi said, "Just treat me as an ordinary guest of the B&B. Do what you need to do and don't leave the yard after dark."

The production crew was on holiday today, and Shu Ge did not receive any new guests. There were only a few people in the entire B&B, so Director Cen quickly gave the orders.

"Are the things I want ready?" Shi Xi asked again.

Director Cen: "It's in the kitchen."

Shi Xi entered the B&B and wandered around the yard like an ordinary guest. From time to time, he picked up a stone, drew on it with a marker, and then threw it into the flowerpot.

Director Cen and his assistant were sitting on the second-floor balcony drinking tea. Seeing this, the assistant was very worried: "This little girl looks like she's just playing with rocks. She doesn't look like an expert at all. It's going to be dark soon. I'm not worried about whether she can solve our problem, but I'm worried about her getting hurt."

"The more powerful a person is, the more bizarre his behavior is. I heard that Zhang Qingshi said..."

Director Cen swallowed the word "long" that was on the tip of his tongue, and he didn't know whether he was comforting his assistant or convincing himself: "I heard that Zhang Qingshi's dress is very fashionable. When she went to the hotel to help the crew solve problems, she was wearing a half-face mask. Because of her superior appearance and temperament, the director invited her to play a role on the spot."

"Wow..." The assistant made an inexperienced sound and added, "Wuyou's outfit is quite ordinary, but her eyes are very beautiful."

Director Cen hummed, his brows darkening, "She must not let me down, otherwise, if the news gets out, her and Zhang Qingshi's reputations will be ruined."

"Uh," the assistant pointed carefully at Shi Xi who was moving, "but she walked around the garden and then went to the kitchen."

The assistant frowned worriedly, keeping an eye on the semi-open kitchen while reporting Shi Xi's actions to Director Cen.

"She turned on the light."

"She is washing rice."

"The meal is ready. Is she hungry?"

"Why are they becoming more and more unreliable? I think their reputation is really going to be ruined. Director, you better think of another solution as soon as possible."

"For Feng Qian's sake, I'll give her another three hours." Director Cen glanced at the sky, finished his last cup of tea, stood up and walked into the hall: "Come with me into the house and close the balcony door."

…

Brother Shu locked the cat in the house. No one was walking around in the yard. Only the lights were on in the semi-open kitchen.

Shi Xi stood in front of the kitchen counter, picked up a can of butter sauce, unscrewed it and smelled it, and said to himself: "What can this sauce be used for? Add cream cheese to make soup, butter cream cheese soup? Or make a dish of pineapple butter fried lettuce, or a dish of aloe vera butter stewed watermelon?"

Shi Xi curled his eyes, thinking that the names of the dishes he had mentioned were dark enough: "Let's do this, go peel a pineapple first. Does pineapple need to be soaked in sugar water to be eaten as a fruit?"

"Please let go of this bottle of butter sauce..." A hoarse and bitter voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the kitchen: "Don't make me beg you."

"Also, the pineapple needs to be soaked in salt water first."
