Chapter 178: Boarding the Ship (Part 1)

Li Changhe recognized the abnormality causing all of this.

In fairy tales, he was a rat catcher who led the children away.

Others believe that he symbolizes the human nature in a time filled with the danger of the Black Death.

In a small town plagued by rats, the mayor not only offered high rewards for those who could eliminate the rat plague but even promised to marry his daughter to him.

So, the young man blew his flute, and soon the town's rats came out in succession.

They followed behind the young man, forming a long line.

With the young man's piping, the rats jumped into the river one by one and drowned.

The young man successfully solved the town's rat problem, but the mayor went back on his word and did not fulfill the reward.

This angered the piper, who blew his flute once more. This time it wasn't rats that appeared but the children of the entire town.

They came out of their homes with a blank look in their eyes, following the young man.
