Chapter 1234: Chapter 705 Setting Off to Country M Chapter 1234: Chapter 705 Setting Off to Country M “What smuggling? This is one of our secret transfer points.”

Yezi corrected.

“Heh.”

Qin Yuan chuckled, non-committal.

“Coo, coo coo.”

Yezi didn’t say anything more; instead, she simply made a few birdcalls.

“Coo coo, coo.”

Two seconds later, identical birdcalls responded.

This scene made Qin Yuan somewhat appreciative, “Such a primitive way of passing signals~”
“What, you look down on it?”

Yezi thought Qin Yuan was mocking her, her words tinged with a hint of anger.

“This way of passing information is both simple and not easily noticed.”

“Especially in the face of an enemy. Once there is a systematic method of communication in place, even if the enemy hears it, they won’t understand the meaning.”

“Our ancestors have many examples of successful kills using this method of communication~”
Watching Yezi lecture on, Qin Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

“I’m sorry, my mistake~”
Qin Yuan said helplessly.

“Here it comes, quick, get on the boat.”

Just then, a hoarse voice came through the night, accompanied by the sound of water being stirred.

“Such a small boat?”

“And handmade?!”

Qin Yuan looked at the small wooden boat in front of him, his face a mix of disbelief and disappointment.

“How about that, not bad, huh?”

The boatman said with some pride, “This is made of the finest wood I could find. It’s not just any boat. Both its buoyancy and sturdiness are not to be underestimated!”

It was clear that the boatman took great pride in his work.

“Who is this comrade?”

Qin Yuan ignored the boatman and turned to ask Yezi.

“Boatman.”

Yezi replied.

“I know he’s a boatman. I’m asking for his name.”

Qin Yuan asked, somewhat resigned.

“His codename is Boatman.”

The corners of Yezi’s mouth turned up slightly, clearly enjoying having played a little joke on Qin Yuan.

Hearing this, Qin Yuan was momentarily stunned before saying with a mix of laughter and helplessness, “You guys really know how to have fun!”

“Alright, my role here is done.”

“From here on out, I leave it to you, Comrade Boatman.”

Yezi said and turned to leave without pausing for a moment.

“She sure left in a hurry!”

Qin Yuan said as he watched Yezi’s departing figure, feeling slightly aggrieved.

Of course, he hadn’t grown fond of this girl whom he had met for less than an hour, even though she wasn’t bad-looking.

Qin Yuan was just a bit upset that Yezi had brought him to this godforsaken place and then took off just like that.

“What, you’ve taken a fancy to her?”

The boatman asked with a smile, but his tone was dead serious.

“Heh, you really are a joker.”

Qin Yuan turned around, a smile on his face as he looked at the boatman, then his face went blank again.

“Let’s go, shall we? Didn’t you say we’re pressed for time?”

“Right, right, get on the boat!”

The boatman immediately beckoned.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yuan leaped aboard, landing steadily on the boat.

“Boy, you’ve got some good moves.”

Admiration shone in the boatman’s eyes.

Qin Yuan paid no mind to the boatman’s praise, “Set off then, where are you planning to take me?”

Qin Yuan knew that such a small boat wouldn’t get him to M country, let alone out to sea; there must be a larger ship waiting for him.

And from the current situation, the larger ship was probably hard to spot.

Although it was a small wooden boat, and manually powered, the speed was not slow at all.

“No wonder they call you Boatman, this speed almost catches up with an engine!”

Qin Yuan’s exaggeration served to highlight the boatman’s skillful rowing.

“Heh heh, I’ve been doing this nearly ten years now.”

“There’s nothing to it but to master it through practice!”

The boatman said proudly.

Hearing this, Qin Yuan felt a mix of emotions inside, a combination of sympathy for the boatman and understanding.

Everyone pursued different things; perhaps this was the boatman’s pursuit. If he felt happy with it, that’s all that mattered.

As the saying goes, what’s most important in life is happiness.

Throughout the journey, the boatman chatted on about one thing or another, and most of the time, Qin Yuan just listened, occasionally replying with a few words.

Almost an hour later, a small island appeared distantly in Qin Yuan’s sight.

Without asking, it was clear this was the destination of their small boat.

“You guys really are cautious, to go so far. Why not just send a motorboat to bring me over? You wouldn’t have to row for an hour.”

Qin Yuan felt like they were making a mountain out of a molehill.

“Better safe than sorry!”

“In our line of work, if you’re not extra careful and cautious, trouble can strike any time.”

The boatman spoke earnestly and seemed to have quite a story.

Qin Yuan clicked his tongue, appearing unconvinced.

Seeing this, the boatman couldn’t help but get a bit anxious, “You really shouldn’t disregard it!”

“A few years back, in FJ city, something like that happened. One of our comrades was not careful enough, got discovered by the enemy, and was killed on the way to his mission~”
Listening to the boatman’s story, Qin Yuan felt suddenly uneasy.

Was his journey going to end in heroism?

“Fine, I’ll be more cautious.”

Qin Yuan didn’t want to hear any more and interrupted.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of the island, where a larger ship was waiting.

“Lame Lu, what took you so long? If you were any later, the ship would have left.”

As they approached, someone came up and spoke to the boatman, quite displeased.

“Heh, my apologies, Brother Chen, we got held up along the way.”
