[ Chapter 21 : C'est La Vie ]

*play song*

Y/n's pov.

" You've got to be kidding me "

I watch as Laurence walk down the muddy path to this land.

" See?, I told you you'd hate it " he said as I stand on this dry dirt while he walks on the disgusting wet muddy dirt.

He turns around to me with crossed arms.

" What is this place? " I asked and pick up a small pebble.

" We're extending the area, since we have more people coming in from the Vipers and if we're going to extend we have to flatten the land to build houses, along with food and double the patrol if there's any volunteers " he said.

" Basically we're turning this place into our own town " he said.

" What's with the mud? " I toss the pebble and it lands beside him as it splashes on his pants but he doesn't seem to be bothered by it.

" Some of these people are farmers, we have to find good soil for them to plant crops, these are poor soil " he lightly kicks the mud and I flinch when some landed near me.

" Hey! " I glare at him, he laughs.

" How do you know they're poor soil? " I cross my arms.

" Healthy soil absorb water very nicely and don't end up muddy, it's like when your in the water too long and your fingers prune up " he said.

He crouches down and take a handful of mud, I scoff in disgust.

" See this?, Muddy, not good for planting crops " he said.

" Could've just told me earlier or I wouldn't come " I said.

" You said you wanted to help, so I didn't mention to make sure you do " he stands and approach me with the mud in his hand.

" W-what are-what are you doing? " I have my arms down and he smirks.

" If your going to help your going have to get used to the mud around " I gasp when he just splatter them all over my dress.

" What the fuck?! " I shout and wipe it off as I flick them off my hands.

I try to hold in my gag to the dirt all over my hand with some roots and leaves are sticking onto my palm.

" Relax, it'll wash off easily " he said and throws the rest of the mud on the ground and they splatter over my boots.

" You dick! " I shove him and he chortles.

" I am not helping! " I said.

" Suit yourself, even a little girl likes to play in the mud " he said.

" Well I'm not a little girl anymore " I said.

I then hear giggles around and laughs when I see two kids running towards us.

" Laurence come on!, Poppa's waiting for you down the river bank with momma! " The little girl pulls his hand.

Laurence chuckles with the little boy takes his other hand.

" Come on!, Come on!, Come on!, You promised to jump off the waterfall after work! " He tugs.

" I'll be down there in a minute!, I have to talk to my friend " he let go of them and they run off.

" Loser gets mud pie! " The boy shouts as they run off.

He turns to me with a shrug.

" Define friend " I flick mud off me.
