TRANSMIGRATION : Raising a Huge Family is Too Hard

Chapter One

Pitiful cries of children can be indistinctly heard amidst the cold crashing of heavy snow accompanied by the harsh wheezing of the forceful winds. They were huddled together in a group while shivering and sobbing sorrowfully. Their tattered and thin clothing couldn't keep them warm in this cold weather.

"Big Sis, please wake up. Don't leave is hanging here. We need you... "

The 12 year old boy cried helplessly as he continued to hug carefully the baby basket bundled with worn out clothing making sure to keep it warm somehow. Three different weak coos can be heard from the bundled baby basket.

"Big Sis, what are we gonna do without you? Our parents gone and our remaining relatives wouldn't even extend their help to our family. Instead, they throw us out of our parents home and leave us here to die and survive on our own..."

Another boy, who was younger by two years from the first kid, exclaimed hopelessly. As he wail out his grievances, he did not forget to make sure to keep the 3 toddlers warmed feebly within his short and thin arms and to shield them from the cold despite of his own trembling form.

"Auntie. ..Uncle... . bad... "

Another voice, more childish than the previous one, cried pitifully. The little girl was six year old but she looked smaller and thinner than her actual age. Her eyes were dripping big tears as she bawled out within the arms of another girl who was older than the little girl by two years.

The 8 year old girl who looked weak and sickly, was silent as she kept her little sister within her embrace. She was staring expectantly at the motionless body of a 16 year old girl on the snowy ground. She looked as if she was hoping and waiting for a miracle to happen at that moment.

Their cries of hopelessness and sorrow continued but was heard by no one. It grew louder and louder amidst the heavy snow storm. They felt that they were the only people in this cold, white covered world.

At that moment, the eyelashes of the 16 year old girl lying cold was trembling until it slowly opened. What greeted her sight was the falling snow and the cold winter that sent chills down to her bones. The girl looked confused and bewildered when suddenly different voices exclaimed joyously beside her.

As she moved her inquiring gaze to the noise, 4 pairs of expectant and hopeful eyes stared at her in a way as if seeking comfort and resolution. When their eyes met, a sudden flash of memories flooded through her mind. Shortly after that moment, Su Xiu, who had the same name as the host body, knew that she transmigrated. As for the details, she did not continue to ponder due to pressing matters that she needed to addressed at this urgent moment.

She and her siblings were in a dire situation. She needed to find a place for them to take cover from this heavy snow storm. If not, they will all die freezing in this cold winter. Knowing that she also had 3 toddlers and triplet babies to tend to was both alarming in this type of predicament. She must act fast or it will be too late for them.

Su Xiu make used of the host memories and found out that there was a nearby cave in this area. She stood up and instructed her siblings to follow her.

"Su Kai, make sure the babies are well covered and kept warmed. Su Ai, assist your sister Su Bao. Su Bowen, give me Su Jin and Su Jun while you hold Su Jia. Come on, quickly, follow me!... "

Su Xiu wandered her eyes around her surroundings as she walked urgently against the heavily snow-covered ground. As far as her eyes can see in this snowy weather, Su Xiu did not stop looking around for the cave in the host memories. Luckily, she found it quick and lead the kids to it.

"Quickly, this way!..."

Su Xiu's steps got wider, urging her trembling siblings to move quickly. The snow storm was getting stronger and heavier, it will not be good for the young ones to stay out for long in this kind of weather.

As they reached the entrance of the cave, Su Xiu gave the two toddlers to Su Ai and Su Bowen, instructing them to go inside first and wait for her to return.

"Big Sis..."

Su Kai was reluctant and called out to her.

"I'll be back shortly. Take them inside and keep warmed up. I'll them to your care for awhile, okay? "

Su Xiu patted her brothers shoulder in an attempt to give him courage and comfort.

"Okay... "

Su Kai nodded obediently.

Su Xiu smiled wordlessly and then, left abruptly. She went back to get the food stored privately by the host. This kind of weather looked like would last longer than necessary. She must get them enough food to survive this whole predicament. She also badly needed to resolve finding milk for the babies. Some thick blankets to ward off the cold as well will be beneficial for survival since not even their tattered and thin clothing could keep them warmed.

When she reached the place, Su Xui moved the medium to sized boulder and went inside while walking on all fours. The cave was small and the length was just enough for a toddler's height. As she went deeper, the small cave got even darker but Su Xiu did not hesitate to move forward. When she reached the end of the tunnel, Su Xiu felt the ground and touched a small basket covered with a thin clothing. After getting what she needed, Su Xui went out of the cave by walking on four backwards due to the narrow tunnel that prevented her from turning around.

Thinking back to the host siblings, they were truly pitiful. Their father died from the mouth of a wild beast while hunting. Their mother, on the other hand, died due to pregnancy complications. The big family without any head was left on to this host shoulders to carry the burden of raising her siblings alone. It came to the point where their own relatives chased them out from their own parents house without any care for their survival in this cold winter. No one would help them and even those people who were helped by her parents before turned a blind eye to their situation and did not bother to get involved.

Bottling all the grievances and hatred in her heart, the host went out of the village and lead her siblings to the forest to find a place of their own. She was just about to lead them into the cave but due to weak body and malnourishment, the host died in the cold weather.

Su Xiu stopped her thoughts from wandering when she suddenly got pricked by a sharp object on her palm. The cave was covered by darkness so Su Xiu was having a hard time seeing. She didn’t even knew what object pricked her on the ground. Her blood dripped and fell on the unkown object thrice. It was that moment she got transported  into another place.

Looking around at her surroundings, Su Xiu assumed that this place was a spatial dimension. Knowing that she had her own cheats in this life, Su Xiu was just happy to make used of it. Hoping that it could help her in some ways to resolve some of her concerns for the siblings' current predicament.

Su Xiu noticed that she was standing on a huge marble-square-shaped floor with contemporary street lights on its 4 corners. The huge area was placed at the center of this spatial dimension. Flower hedges were designed on the edges of the marble-square-shaped floor, contemporary benches were placed beside the flower hedges and there were cobble stone pathways leading to the north, south, west and east of it. The huge marble-square-shaped floor was named town square since it’s a place held out for outside gathering events.

North of the town square was the location for the small sized museum, general store, town hall and bank building. South of the town square was the location for the botanical garden. Both the east and west were a wide area of green bermuda grasses. With all these observations, Su Xiu found out that this spatial dimension was like a village town space.
