Qin listened quietly. She already knew about this matter; she had heard about it when Li Hu turned himself in.

After listening to Jiang Xun's words, Qin Jin'an looked at Jiang Xun and then at Xiao Yuebai, and then said, "Can you let him go? He didn't kidnap me. I went with him on my own. I'm fine now."

Li Hu and his men did not kidnap her; she went with them voluntarily.

Because she wanted to save them.

She was glad she could save them.

They did nothing wrong. If one has to say they did something wrong, it's only because the world is too harsh.

Amidst the chaos of war, the closer a region is to the fighting, the more suffering the people endure.

He said he did it all by himself.

Jiang Xun's only point of doubt about this matter was this.

Qin Jin'an lowered his eyes.

It wasn't Li Hu who did it alone, but that's not important; they didn't kidnap her.

"Okay, we understand the situation. We will release Li Hu when we get back."

Xiao Yuebai spoke up.

Qin Jin'an looked up at him, his eyes smiling, and Xiao Yuebai's mood immediately improved.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Qin Jin'an, "This matter may be related to Su Chang'an, and it may not be over so easily. You should be careful."

Xiao Yuebai felt it was impossible to say that this matter had nothing to do with Su Chang'an.

All he could do was offer a reminder.

"Ah Xun, let's go."

"I've learned everything I need to know," Xiao Yuebai said, glancing at Jiang Xun.

Goodbye, Fish Baby.

Jiang Xun smiled at Qin Jin'an.

Qin Jin'an waved to Jiang Xun: "Goodbye, brother."

Jiang Xun smiled and left with Xiao Yuebai.

After returning, Jiang Xun released Li Hu.

Li Hu had been detained for several days without being subjected to torture, and he was still a little dazed when he was suddenly released. How did he get released?

Li Hu looked at Jiang Xun in confusion, and stood there dumbfounded for a moment, not moving.

Jiang Xun looked at him and said, "Go home. This matter is over. You were fortunate to have met a little immortal. Go back and be a down-to-earth person. Don't do anything harmful to others again."

Not everyone is like Qin Jin'an, able to return safely from a kidnapping.

Kidnapping is a serious crime, but because Qin Jin'an did not admit that he was kidnapped, the matter was able to pass so easily.

"Is the little fairy alright?"

A sense of guilt welled up in Li Hu's heart.

“She was sick, it was cold, and she spent the night in the mountains.”

Seeing Li Hu's guilty expression, Jiang Xun didn't hide anything and simply told the truth.

Li Hu was a refugee; he had his own hardships.

Li Hu lowered his head and turned to leave.

But then Jiang Xun spoke again.

"Everyone in this world has their own unavoidable difficulties, but difficulties are not a reason to harm others."

Li Hu's figure froze, and he felt extremely suffocated.

"I know it will never happen again."

Li Hu dragged his heavy steps away slowly.

Jiang Xun also turned around and entered the government office.

There is no absolute right or wrong in this world; it's just a matter of perspective.

But you've hurt me, and this grudge will never end.

Jiang Xun shook his head, and as he thought of Xiao Caidie, a smile finally appeared on his lips.

...

When Li Hu returned to the refugee resettlement area after leaving the city, Sun Wu and Zhao Long, disregarding their injuries, came out of the shed to his side upon seeing him return.

“I have not been subjected to any criminal penalties, the little deity did not blame any of us, and we have no criminal record for kidnapping.”

Li Hu looked at them, and tears streamed down his face as he spoke.

Sun Wu and Zhao Long both lowered their heads.

Their family members around them remained silent.

"Let's carve an image of the little fairy, and we'll worship her from now on."

Li Hu's wife clasped her hands together and said with tears in her eyes.

No five-year-old child could do that, unless she were a god.

We worship the true God, have faith in her, and believe in her with the most sincere heart, and are grateful to her.

"good."

Everyone agreed.

Sun Wu and Zhao Long were still recovering from their injuries when Li Hu returned safely, and they were both alright.

This sum of two thousand taels was enough for them to get through the crisis and could also help many others in need.

If someone in the family is sick, they can use this money to see a doctor and get medicine. After they recover, they can simply offer incense in front of the statue of the deity they worship.

The reason people do this is because Li Hu's wife has seen her family worship gods since she was a child, and people say that gods need incense offerings.

From the beginning, people were grateful to the little deity for giving them medicine and saving their lives, to later, people prayed for blessings.

May the gods bless the chaos in the southern borderlands to end soon, so that they can return to their hometowns as soon as possible.

May the gods bless us with a peaceful and prosperous world.

What was originally a statue worshipped by the three families of Li Hu, Sun Wu, and Zhao Long has evolved into a statue worshipped by all the refugees.

February arrived in the blink of an eye, everything came back to life, and the weather wasn't so cold anymore.

In his sleep, Qin Jin'an received a response from his faith and heard many whispered voices.

She was very distressed.

So in her dream, she sighed repeatedly.

If she were to grant such a grand wish, her health would be in terrible shape.

So many people believe in her and pray to her.

"Yu Bao, what's on your mind?"

Qi Yuanyou knew nothing, but seeing Qin Jin'an like this, he couldn't help but ask her with concern.

Qin Jin'an lay on Qi Yuanyou's back and sighed again.

"Yuanyuan, when will the war end?"

Qin Jin'an also hoped the war would end soon, and she missed her uncle.

My aunt is about to give birth, but my uncle isn't by her side.

"Don't worry, Yu Bao, they won't be able to break in. They'll retreat after spring. The second wave won't happen until at least this winter."

Qi Yuanyou guessed that news of battles often came from Qin Jin'an's home, so she began to worry.

"Everything will get better and better."

Qi Yuanyou reassured him again.

Qin Jin'an nodded. Her abilities were still limited, and she needed to prioritize her health.

Perhaps one day when she grows up and becomes stronger, she will be able to respond to these wishes.

She's still a child; children shouldn't think so much.

She just needs to eat well, sleep well, and grow up well.

Qin Jin'an closed his eyes and went to sleep peacefully.

Qi Yuanyou smiled and closed his eyes with a smile.

Zhao's water broke on the sixteenth day of the second month.

Knowing that she would give birth in February, Zhang did not go to the city to help during that month, but stayed at home all day to look after the workshop and take care of Zhao.

Zhang was a kind mother-in-law, and many women in the village praised Zhao for her good fortune.

Qin Jin'an hasn't gone into the city these past few days because she senses that her aunt's baby is about to be born, so she's waiting.

Early in the morning, Zhao combed her hair as usual. After she finished, she got up and suddenly stopped moving. She was afraid of frightening Qin Jin'an, so even though she was flustered inside, she spoke calmly and said gently, "Yu Bao, go and call your grandma."

Zhang was at the workshop, so she went there briefly and returned in less than fifteen minutes.

Qin Jin'an was unaware that Zhao's water had broken; she nodded and ran out.

The white dot that used to follow her didn't follow her this time.

Bai Diandian circled around Zhao Shi, looking at her with obvious concern, making worried whimpering sounds through her nose.
