The other guests were all shocked.
Ji Xizhi got the villagers' unanimous vote just like that? That's ridiculous!
Beside her, Zhong Yulu glanced at Ji Xizhi's calm demeanor, his expression slightly shifting.
This Ji Xizhi seems different in some way.
Seeing the villagers getting anxious, Ji Xizhi didn't keep them in suspense and directly revealed the outcome, saying, "The culprit is the Zhang Family's eldest grandson!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience gasped, and the villagers were all in disbelief.
"How could it be the eldest grandson? Impossible, impossible, how could he kill his own father? Absolutely impossible!"
"This is a sin, girl, how could it be him!"
Seeing the villagers whispering among themselves, Ji Xizhi smiled slightly, "I'll explain the details to everyone tomorrow night."
She remembered that in the original plot of the book, this reality show set many tasks to trouble the guests.
The original character was criticized harshly by netizens because she couldn't adapt to rural life, complaining about this and that.
Now, Ji Xizhi certainly didn't want to follow the original plot; to study peacefully tomorrow, she simply went ahead and built connections today.
She threw a hook to the villagers today and would continue explaining tomorrow.
By then, the program group's tasks would have villagers helping, giving her more time to review.
The moment the villagers got this assurance, they burst into smiles.
Director Wang looked at how Ji Xizhi had the villagers of Ping'an Village wrapped around her finger, still a bit surprised himself.
When selecting guests before, his biggest concern was this Ji Xizhi. Not popular and liked to cling, and most importantly, she was finicky.
If their program wasn't already doing poorly and unable to invite others, he would surely have replaced her.
But now, Ji Xizhi had given him a little surprise.
Not sure if it's because Ji Fengyuan is also here, but anyway, it's a good thing for the show.
Director Wang, keeping an eye on the stream's popularity, sneakily avoided the camera to remind Ji Xizhi's filming photographer to give her more screen time as long as she doesn't act up.
The other guests at the scene also had frozen expressions upon hearing Ji Xizhi expose the real murderer.
Fang Zhuyue was the most engrossed, goosebumps all over her slender legs, hugging her arms and trembling, "This is too terrifying! I don't dare to sleep tonight!"
Zhu Xiu'an, beside her, coolly shrugged, "No worries, you have nowhere to sleep tonight anyway!"
Hearing this, Fang Zhuyue trembled even more fiercely, glaring fiercely at Zhu Xiu'an.
[Pfft~ Zhu Xiu'an really deserves a beating!]
[I laughed so hard, Fang Zhuyue looks so much like a big sister, and yet she's such a scaredy cat?! Too cute!]
[I feel it's not that she's just timid, but that the story Ji Xizhi told is too terrifying, and with the dusk scene of Ping'an Village, it's even more eerie!]
Fang Zhuyue, startled like that, simply hid closer to Ji Xizhi, "Ji Xizhi, can I stay with you tonight? I won't freeload; I'll help you with tasks tomorrow!"
Ji Xizhi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Someone offering to help with tasks?
Just as she was about to nod in agreement, Director Wang ran up to her in a brisk trot, firmly saying no, "No, according to the program rules, guests cannot share accommodations unless invited by the villagers!"
Fang Zhuyue's face fell: "Then we really can't sleep at the entrance?!"
She debuted as an internet celebrity, with a family that had some assets, never really having suffered. Now participating in such a lousy show and having to sleep on the street, and in a rural mud ground, no less. How could she adapt to that?
[Speechless, can the pampered lady leave this show? I'm here to see a real experience, not a princess!]
[I thought Ji Xizhi would be the most finicky, but it turns out Fang Zhuyue is, speechless!]
[666 Ji Xizhi's fans are starting to criticize others now? Cannot glorify Zhong Yulu, so they start criticizing Fang Zhuyue, really savvy!]
In reality show experiences like this, authenticity is the goal.
But if the celebrities really acted unreservedly themselves, they would undoubtedly be scolded to death by the audience.
Now Fang Zhuyue, she just made a complaint and the barrage of insults just kept coming.
Director Wang was quite happy to see this, what's a scolding, being scolded means there's interest.
Director Wang was determined to torment the guests, he looked up at the sky, smiling sweetly, "Night is approaching, and a friendly reminder from the program group: some households in Ping'an Village still don't have electricity, so guests should return to their accommodations promptly. As for those without accommodations, you can find a solution yourselves."
After speaking, the program group really stopped caring, with the main staff heading into the village.
Ping'an Village is surrounded by mountains, in a remote location, with houses far apart from each other.
Ji Fengyuan was chosen by six families, and he specifically chose to stay next to Zhong Yulu.
This choice made countless CP fans in the comments go crazy again.
As they entered the village, most of the sky was already dark, as if the whole village shrank smaller and smaller under the dark, with occasional animal sounds.
Zhong Yulu and Ji Fengyuan, having confirmed their accommodation, walked the fastest.
Ji Xizhi lived at the village head's house, the closest to the village entrance, and arrived after walking a few steps.
The remaining three guests gazed at each other.
They had heard about the perverseness of the Life Experience program group before participating, prepared to shed a layer of skin, but no one expected, just upon arrival, let alone the skin, they almost lost their lives.
Fang Zhuyue stood between Qin Yutian and Zhu Xiu'an, mountain winds blowing cold, a stark contrast to the daytime temperature.
Her long legs were trembling.
Afraid and cold!
[The program group won't really just leave the three of them out here, right?! It's really cold in the mountains at night, and the guests are wearing so little, they might freeze to death!]
[New fan, I suggest you watch the previous episodes, the Life Experience program group is absolutely not softhearted toward guests, to experience is to be completely real~]
[Terrified, it's completely dark, and they don't even have a light... What kind of experience is this, it's like a survival show!]
[Doomed, they're doomed, I guess these three won't survive the night and will quit the group!]
When Ji Xizhi came out of the village head's courtyard, Fang Zhuyue's teeth were chattering like a sewing machine.
Holding a piece of A4 paper, she looked at Fang Zhuyue's frozen white cheeks and asked, "Does the earlier deal still stand?"
It took Fang Zhuyue a while to realize that Ji Xizhi was talking about her offer to help Ji Xizhi with tasks tomorrow.
Though this idea had been mercilessly blocked by Director Wang due to program rules, Ji Xizhi asked in such a serious manner that Fang Zhuyue nodded instinctively.
On the other hand, Zhu Xiu'an next to her gave her a sidelong glance, emphasizing once again, "The program said guests couldn't share accommodation."
Ji Xizhi raised her eyebrows, "It only said they couldn't share accommodation, didn't say I couldn't help you find one."
Zhu Xiu'an was choked by these words from Ji Xizhi, then rolled his eyes, "Find a place to stay? The villagers have been briefed in advance by the program group, you won't convince them..."
"I'll build you a shelter, and tomorrow you'll handle my task."
Before Zhu Xiu'an could finish speaking, Ji Xizhi bypassed him and approached Fang Zhuyue directly.
Zhu Xiu'an: ?!
The viewers in the four guests' live stream simultaneously: ???
Build a shelter?! Hahaha Ji Xizhi must be crazy about becoming famous!!!
