Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Changsheng felt that Jiang Xinxin had a miserable life in the previous world. She watched people close to her being sent away one by one, and was worried that her Taoism would be damaged. So he simply used the convenience given by Xiao Tiandao to send Jiang Xinxin to the neighboring world for vacation. So when the little girl Luo Shan was born, when she recovered her memory at the age of three, she happened to see Luo's father beating Luo's mother for who knows how many times while drunk.

Jiang Xinxin, no, it was Luo Shan who without thinking went forward to pull away Luo's mother who was lying on the ground and had no time to dodge. However, she overestimated her current ability as well as the strength of Luo's father who was drunk. Not only did she fail to save Luo's mother, but she was sent to the hospital by Luo's father with a punch.

What a shame!

Although Taiwan's economy was prosperous in the 1990s, it was, after all, a place that had been completely colonized by imperialism. Even though it claimed to have entered modern society, it was actually quite conservative.

Luo's father and mother were in a free love relationship and got together based on love. However, after three years of hard work, Luo's mother only gave birth to a daughter, Luo Shan. Moreover, because her body was damaged by this childbirth and could not give birth again, the devil in Luo's father's heart was awakened, and Luo's mother began to live a miserable life.

Seeing her daughter being beaten by her own father and admitted to the hospital at such a young age in order to protect her, and her small body looking increasingly frail on the narrow bed, she shed tears and made up her mind to take Luo Shan away from that place which had become a devil's den and could no longer be called home!

Luo's mother has the execution ability, but she is about to become a single mother and has to live with a child. She cannot do without a job, so finding a way to make money becomes the top priority in the reality.

So when Luo's father sobered up, came over with an apologetic look on his face to buy breakfast and take the mother and daughter home, she silently hugged her baby daughter in her arms without saying a word, and seemingly obediently carried the child all the way back to that place.

Luo's father is a driver, and his employers are the youngest son of the Su family, a prominent family in Taipei. Mr. Su and Mrs. Su are both musicians, one plays the piano and the other plays the violin. The couple has only one child, and even though the little princess named Sophie is only two years old, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su can't wait to return to the concert hall.

In the big villa of Mr. and Mrs. Su, there lives a gardener called Lao He. He has a son named He Shiyu who is a year older than Luo Shan. Lao He's wife died of a sudden infection due to improper care during childbirth. So Lao He's appearance changed from being smiling and kind at the beginning to being silent and even lifeless now. Naturally, he neglected to take care of the child He Shiyu.

Luo's mother was like all kind-hearted people. Seeing He Shiyu, a child about the same age as her own child, running around all day in ill-fitting clothes, she couldn't help but worry about it. So He Shiyu became Luo Shan's little brother, and he knew how to make his mother happy by saying that he would always protect Luo Shan.

Mr. and Mrs. Su needed a trustworthy nanny to take care of their little princess Sophie. After Luo's mother learned the news, she thought about it again and again and finally plucked up the courage to recommend herself.

She really needs a decent job and a salary to plan for her life after leaving this place.

However, when Luo's mother took the job of a nanny, it was like opening a Pandora's box. First, He Shiyu, contrary to his usual behavior, came to Luo Shan from time to time and said things like a gardener's son could only be a gardener, a driver's daughter might not be a driver, but a nanny's daughter could still be a nanny. Later, when Luo's father saw that his wife had made money, he became even more addicted to alcohol!

As for He Shiyu, Luo Shan could only sigh that these were the people who had never been liberated. No matter how many times she said it, she could not change his inexplicably stubborn cognition. It was obvious that Lao He took very good care of the large garden of six or seven acres in Mr. Su's family. Every year, all the guests who came to visit praised it. Mr. Su raised Lao He's salary several times for this, and it was said that Lao He had saved enough for his pension.

In comparison, Luo's father, who was supposed to be a confidant, seemed very embarrassed because Mr. Su and Mrs. Su knew about his alcoholism and had warned them several times in a row, but Luo's father only felt more depressed and resentful, especially when he saw that his wife's salary as a nanny was almost higher than his as a driver. While Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were abroad, he would intensify the beatings on Luo's mother.

Finally one day, Luo's mother couldn't stand it anymore, because Luo's father went to Mr. and Mrs. Su without her consent and refused to continue to be Sophie's nanny. He also took her salary and bonus for the past month and discovered her previous behavior of hiding money.

That day, Luo's mother was beaten half to death. When Luo Shan came home from school, she found out that Luo's father had hit her again. Luo Shan wanted to go to Luo's father to settle the score without thinking. Luo's mother jumped up and saved Luo Shan, crying and begging: "My daughter, my baby, don't go to him, you will only get hurt!"

Luo Shan is not a real child. Even though she has secretly started to practice martial arts in the past three years, she is still in this world where spiritual energy is thin and almost non-existent. She can only barely strengthen her body and gain a little strength, and she cannot even develop internal energy.

So Luo Shan took a deep breath, turned to Luo's mother and said, "Mom, I know you have saved some money. Let's go today before that person comes back!"

After saying that, without waiting for Luo's mother's reaction, Luo Shan began to look for Luo's mother's ID in the drawer. If she went out without the ID, she would be treated as an illegal resident, which would make it inconvenient for her to do anything. Even if she went to apply for a new one, she would have to come to Luo's father to verify the situation first. Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap!

All you need is your ID and a few sets of clothes. Anything else will just be a burden. We are running for our lives now, not playing house.

Luo's mother looked at Luo Shan, who had grown a little taller but was still a small figure, busying around the house, and felt that the pain in her body disappeared a lot. She quickly got up to pack Luo Shan's things. She must take her books, as many clothes as possible, and also all her favorite headwear and prizes from the school. They didn't take up much space anyway.

But things are unpredictable. Just when victory was in sight, Luo's father's footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and he was even shouting from a distance: "Lixiang, Shanshan, look what I bought——"

In a flash, Luo's mother looked dejected as if struck by lightning, but Luo Shan threw her schoolbag back and pushed Luo's mother to continue walking out, "Mom, hurry up, we can't hide it today. You are not well yet, and you can't go far with me. Come back to see me when you are safe!"

This is a pure villa community near the suburbs. The Su family's large villa covers at least ten acres of land. It takes nearly an hour to drive to the city, and about an hour to walk to just out of the community. To get to a place with public transportation, it will take more than 20 minutes to walk. So if Luo's mother wants to escape with her child, it would be a real burden.

Luo's mother burst into tears but did not move. Luo Shan urged her again: "Mom, if you don't leave, I'm afraid he will beat you to death!"
