BEM’S 2ND LOVER
Many years has passed since BEM left Eden in searching of the famous scholar, Kong Qiu. However, he arrived at China much earlier than the time of Kong Qiu came into the world. It was the time of the Big emptiness, “Honghuang”(洪荒) in Chinese, BEM came to a place named HuaXia (华夏). Here, he started his 2nd romance. It was happened like this.
One day, BEM was wandering in a forest. “Ouch!” BEM yield out. His forehead was hit by a big branch of tree as he slip forward when his feet were blocked below. Rubbing his forehead, he saw a sleeping beauty lie on the ground. She wore a short skirt as many of Chinese yang ladies did at that time. Her long black hair was looked little bit dry for her age.
Her face looked very pale with blue lips. Her hands were cold. Her breath was barely there when BEM put his hand close to her mouth. It seemed like that the beautiful young lady was seriously ill. BEM tried to wake her up but was unsuccessful. BEM thought that he must find something that could save her. The first thing that came to his mind was water. However, there was none nearby. In the hurry, BEM found a black berry on one of the small trees nearby. So, he took some of them put them into her mouth without thinking. After a while, the beautiful girl regained consciousness but was so weak that she could not see clearly. While she was half sleep BEM carried her to a cave nearby. Then BEM went out looking for some food and water.
Several days passed. Under the careful nursing of BEM, the girl recovered her strength gradually. When she saw BEM for the first time, she was little bit scared by his appearance. She thought that she might have been captured by kind of monster for a housewife - this kind of thing happened often during that time, so, you might not be too surprised if you met some strange looking creatures at that time. As the time passed by, BEM became not looking so strange to the girl. She found out his name was BEM, and BEM got her name as ShenNong (神农). ShenNong (SN) told BEM that she was testing all kind of plants for her folks because there was no enough food for them. BEM asked her why. She told BEM that all her folks were either hunters or fishers. There is a shortage of food because there were more and more babies born into their tribe every year. So, she thought that more food can be available if people know how to grow them instead of only collect them when they matured in the field naturally. She told her idea to the elder in her tribe. After getting a permit from the elder, she began to grow them and tested them if they were suitable for human consumption. By testing those plants, she can know which ones are toxic. She risks her life to test them every day because she wants to save those starving children. Gradually, her body became intoxicated from those plants she ate for testing. Finally, she collapsed during a test one day in the brush.
BEM was so moved by her kindness that he volunteered to be her guinea pig. Lady 神农 was so glad that BEM would help her to fulfill her dream to become the greatest scientist in the history. Because BEM’s brave contribution with his life, God was moved too. He gave them some clues about what kinds of plants were suitable for human to grow and how to make them easy to eat. That was the 2nd revolution in human history since human found out how to use fire. From that on, Human have what is called agriculture, the more efficient way of making food.
This great finding was found out by BEM and his 2nd girlfriend 神农. They were the real first greatest scientists in history who risked their own lives for the good of others.
During this great agriculture movement, BEM and 神农 developed their relationship far beyond mere friendship. But their sexual life was poor because BEM’s lacking of self
-confidence for his physical charm. So, one day, BEM told 神农 that he knew a plant with extremely beautiful flower that can kill pain and lift one‘s spirits. Allured by its magnificent curing effect, 神农 asked BEM to collect some and test it herself again. BEM brought some to 神农. Soon, the flower in their mouth, BEM and 神农 got very high. In medical term, the status is called happy-go-lucky. So you can guess what they ate now. They laugh and sang and danced all day long, never tiring out. They saw each other as the perfect lover. They kissed each other with the lust of lovers. Then they made love all night long until falling asleep the next morning.
When they woke up, they realized several days has passed. BEM and 神农 returned to their normal states. They were so glad that they found a drug which could not only numb the pain but also help them to strengthen their relationship by improving the quality of their sexual life. From then on, they would often use it. Gradually, they became addicted to it. Whenever they did not eat it, they would feel terrible pain all their body. Their bodies became more and more weak because the flower made them lose their want for food.
Soon the situation became known to young man, Xuan Yuan(轩辕,XY). 轩辕 was the 1st leader of the 神农’s tribe. 轩辕 created the first car pulled by horses. Before this car was created, human were bothered by having to move big heavy objects. Any big strong man was admired by all others. That was why BEM was viewed as hero not only for his noble character but also for his physical strength. However, compared to 轩辕, BEM was clumsy. 轩辕 was a good looking young man with yellow skin. That was why his folk nicknamed him Huang Di (黄地). 轩辕 took the two poisoned couple to his home with his horse car (马车). He cured them with Rensheng(人参) Chicken Soup that was reserved for long time since 神农 left his tribe. This was the recipe in which there were many secret ingredients that he learned from Miss 神农 when they were close friends. Even with this miracle soup, it still took about 1000 years for 神农 and BEM to fully recover.
神农 and BEM was so grateful for 轩辕 to take care of them for such long time. BEM even felt guilty for what he did for 神农. This thought of sin bothered him all the time. He told his feeling to his new close friend 轩辕. 轩辕 , BEM and 神农 all found no solution. In vain, they asked God to help. BEM recognized his sin and asked God to gave him guidance. God told BEM to follow his heart. Then, BEN asked 轩辕 to take care of 神农 and left the tribe of his 2nd lover.
