The people watched the yellow paper in Yu Ruyue's hand burn in the sky, and they were so scared that they kowtowed repeatedly.
Even the Yu family and Shen Zhiheng, who knew the inside story, looked at her with great concern when they saw the paper suddenly burning.
Shen Zhiheng took two steps forward reflexively, trying to protect Yu Ruyue.
No matter how many times he saw it, no matter how earnestly Yu Ruyue explained the principle behind it, every time he saw the fire burning, he couldn't help but rush forward to protect Yu Ruyue.
However, just as Shen Zhiheng took a few steps forward worriedly, he was pulled back by someone.
"Brother Shen! Don't let Ruyue's efforts go to waste."
"Yes! Sister Ruyue specifically told us not to cause any trouble."
Shen Zhiheng came to his senses and quickly retreated, but he was still very worried.
But the next second, something happened that made him even more worried.
After the fire burned, Yu Ruyue shouted loudly: "Master Taiyuan Hao, the essence of thunder and fire condenses the yin and gathers the yang to guard the city of Lei, the wind blows in the court of Fenghuo, and the wind blows to all the Taiming officials. God is here to save you, act quickly, and collect the yang and bring rain." As the voice fell, the sky did not change at all, only a small cloud slowly floated over.
The people below kept kowtowed and prayed, but still no rain fell. Everyone's heart sank to the bottom, and they began to wonder if the person who claimed to be able to pray for rain was a liar. If she was really a liar, then what should they do? The hope they had finally waited for was gone!
Yu Ruyue didn't expect the rain to come immediately, so she tried several times. Although a few clouds came one after another, it still didn't rain.
Everyone looked at those clouds and their hearts sank to the bottom. Sure enough, they were all liars.
Suddenly a man stood out from the crowd.
He shouted angrily, "Liar! You liar! You are deceiving us ordinary people. You have no way of communicating with God!"
Several more people stood up one after another, their eyes filled with despair, staring at Yu Ruyue with bloodshot eyes, "You are a complete liar, all of you officials are liars."
"God doesn't see our suffering at all, otherwise why doesn't it rain? If God really opened his eyes, my family wouldn't have died of thirst. My youngest son had just learned to speak, and when he died, he was still mumbling, 'Daddy...'"
As the man was speaking, he suddenly squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying bitterly.
The people around them burst into tears as they thought of their deceased relatives.
"I watched helplessly as my parents died of thirst. They only needed to hold on for two more days to get some water."
"My husband bled himself alive for three days to keep me and our child alive. Why would God do this to us? Does God really want to turn us into monsters that eat human flesh and drink human blood?"
In an instant, everyone below began to cry and hold their heads in their hands.
There were also those who could not bear such a huge psychological gap, struggled to stand up, and were about to rush to the city wall, "I want to kill you, you liar. Is it fun to deceive us poor people? Why do you give us hope, but let us down?"
"Why!?"
Everyone's attention was drawn to the riot below.
Even the people behind Shen Zhiheng started taking this opportunity to talk about the same old things again.
"General Shen, these people are pitiful. They are being toyed with like this. As a general, you can't just watch Miss Yu deceive the people and do nothing!"
"Yes! Now that things have gotten so chaotic, someone must be held accountable. The Protector of the Country had already guessed this outcome, so he sent us here to warn you in advance. Why can't you appreciate his painstaking efforts?"
"Even if there really is someone who can communicate with heaven, it can't be a pregnant woman!"
"Women should stay in the backyard. Showing up in public will only bring disaster."
They spoke so loudly that Shen Zhiheng could even hear a hint of gloating in their voices.
The common people who rushed up from below heard these words and began to criticize. "A general was actually tricked by a woman. Women should stay in the backyard, taking care of their husbands and children. A few days ago, this Miss Yu insisted on forcing women out of the backyard and making them learn martial arts and medicine. What's the point? It's just to make people laugh."
"Who said it wasn't true? My wife actually dared to talk back to me after she came home. She even dared to resist me when I hit her. If I wasn't so strong, I would have been bullied by her!"
"Humph! Women should be taught a lesson and made aware of their place."
"If you ask me, it should have rained today, but it was because of that pregnant woman that God was displeased."
These people started talking at once and cursing non-stop.
From the beginning, it was God's fault, but it evolved into all the original sins being because Yu Ruyue was a woman.
Just as these people were talking happily and trying to attribute the cause of the natural disaster to a pregnant woman, suddenly many women stood up from the crowd. They looked at the ferocious men but showed no intention of backing down.
There were even a dozen women holding several umbrellas in their hands, as if they were sure it would rain.
"You say women are dirty, but weren't you born from women?"
"You're always calling this dirty, that dirty. Weren't you born from your mother's conception? Did you pop out of a crack in a rock? You always blame us women for everything that happens. I think you're the dirtiest. Not only dirty, but also cowardly."
"Since you are so powerful, then go and pray for rain! Then go and find a source of water!"
"Right! How dare you hit your own wife? Go out and fight the enemy! You're just a bully!"
The men were stunned by the scolding. They had never thought that a woman would dare to stand up and refute their words. Didn’t they know that in this world, men are the sky!?
And now the sun is so strong, are these bitches really crazy? One of them actually has two umbrellas in his hands!?
This year, several umbrella shops have closed down. How did they manage to get such beautiful oil-paper umbrellas?! Are they seriously crazy?
The men's first reaction was to take action, but at the same time, someone shouted, "Look everyone!"
So everyone's attention was focused on Yu Ruyue again!
