Flagstaff, also known as Flagpole City, is a small town in the western United States. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Geographically, it is located in the northern part of Arizona, on the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau, west of Las Vegas, and east of the famous Grand Canyon.

In the United States, Arizona, the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, many Chinese have heard of these four names, but Flagpole City, which is wrapped in the middle of these four regions, is estimated to not many people to know.

Half a year ago, Li Du was also one of those 'few', until he came to Flagpole City to study.

Flagpole City is not well-known in the country, nor is it well-known in the United States, but it does have several good universities, such as the University of Arizona, Flagstaff American College, etc.

The school where Li Du studied abroad is called Flagstaff National College, which is only one word different from Flagstaff American College, but there is a world of difference between these two words!

Flagstaff American College is a branch of American College, which is a very good private university, offering undergraduate, junior college, preparatory and other educational jobs.

What about Flagstaff State College? It's a pheasant university, and Li Du was completely fooled into going to graduate school.

As a result, his tuition and research funds were only half a year old, the school was closed, and the school board and admissions department got the news in advance and ran away, leaving a group of international students to be driven out of the school by the police with bewildered faces.

Li Du was lucky, because the school accommodation was too chaotic, he didn't have a dormitory in order to study quietly, but found an apartment to rent, and now he has a place to stay. His classmates who paid for the accommodation and lived in the school would be wandering the streets.

But his situation is not much better than that of his classmates, it is now the end of January, his rent is due, and if he does not pay it in time, he may have to live on the streets.

Sadly, he will have no money on him!

Of course, he can borrow money from his parents and classmates and friends in China, but there is a premise that he is studying abroad.

Now that the school has been banned, he will definitely not be able to complete his graduate studies, where can he still have the face to ask his elderly parents for money? As for looking for classmates and friends? If he wants to be strong, he doesn't want to do this.

was sitting at the door of the small building with a sad face, the pine door behind Li Du was pushed open, and a blonde girl poked her head out: "Hey, Li, are you here?"

The girl was his landlord, named Hannah Fox, and the house belonged to her and her brother Hans Fox, the inheritance of her parents who died in a car accident.

However, Hans claimed that he had a 'big business to do' and would not come to stay for a few days throughout the year, so the vacant bedroom was rented out by Hannah to generate income.

Hearing the greeting, Li Du got up and said, "Oh, yes, Hannah, what's the matter?"

The girl shrugged and smiled, and a pear vortex appeared on her beautiful face: "I saw a few cans of beer when I was cleaning the refrigerator just now, and they must have been left by Hans." I remember you liked wort beer, why don't you drink it?"

She was carrying half a dozen bottles of beer in her hand, a very common wooden box with the Budweiser logo on it.

Seeing these beers, Li Du also smiled, there is only a small Xiaoice box in the apartment, he opens and closes every day, where is there any beer in it?

Besides, with Hans's temper, if there was really beer, he would definitely not stay, this guy is a heavy drinker.

According to his guess, Hannah bought the beer to comfort him, and after learning that their school was closed, Hannah had comforted him many times, which touched him very much.

However, Hannah doesn't have many ways to comfort him, either giving him a motivational book or giving him beer.

This American girl once approached him to learn about Chinese culture and learned the saying 'one drunk relieves a thousand sorrows'.

She thought that according to the character of the Chinese, getting drunk and sleeping could alleviate her sorrows, so she gave him beer several times.

Li Du accepted Hannah's kindness and owed the girl a favor.

In American social, there are some gifts that cannot be refused, otherwise they will be misunderstood and rejected friendship, and he cherishes his friendship with Hannah.

He took the wooden box, and Hannah left with a smile, and before leaving, he said, "There are many problems in life, but they are still beautiful." ”

After reciting this American slang a few times, Li Du opened the package and wanted to take out a can of beer.

But as soon as he opened the wooden box, a crystal like amber suddenly fell out and fell to the ground with a 'click'.

The crystal, which was about the size of his thumb, had fallen the concrete floor, and several cracks had appeared on it.

The reason why he guessed it was amber was because it was pale yellow in color and had a small worm wrapped in it, similar to the one he had seen in the sixth grade of elementary school.

At that time, there was a text in their textbook called "Amber", and when the Chinese teacher gave them a lesson, he brought an amber.

The crystal reminded him of some of the good times of his childhood, when his teacher said that amber with worms was precious.

It's a pity that this one has cracked, which makes him very regretful, otherwise he may not be able to exchange it for two months' living expenses if he sells it.

The crystal fell badly, and when he picked it up, it shattered, revealing the purple worms wrapped in it.

The insect resembles a locust, it is about two centimeters long, and has a strange appearance, with locust-like compound eyes, but it has only two legs under its belly, and there are strange lines on the legs, and there are no wings on its back, which looks clumsy.

Li Du had never seen this kind of bug, so he held it up strangely to see it clearly.

At that moment, something strange happened: the worm's claws suddenly moved, and then quickly regained its vitality, writhing its body and breaking free from between his fingers.

Before he could react, the worm jumped behind his palm, and its head drooped down, so slowly, little by little, it burrowed into his palm!

Li Du was scared to pee, he really wanted to pee!

The resurrection of the worm in the amber was terrifying, but it turned out to be like an alien, burrowing into the palm of his hand and turning into a tattoo-like thing......

With a scream, he stumbled into the house, shouting, "Hannah, call 911! Help, there's a bug in my hands!"

Presumably his screams were too terrible, and Hannah came out with a panicked expression: "What? What bug?"

Li Du spread his hand out to her: "That's it, this worm in the palm of my hand!"

Hannah's face was blank: "Worms in the palm of your hand?

Not only is there a bug, this bug is still moving, after it burrowed into the palm of Li Du's hand, it seemed unwilling to be lonely, and it would drill out again, and half of its body drilled out.

Li Du pointed to the insects that were drilling out, and said in horror: "This, that's it, purple locusts, can't you see it?"

Immediately, Hannah's expression was more frightened than his, and then the girl slowly stepped back and said, "Lee, I know that the school has been closed and you find it difficult for you to accept, but I think you are a warrior and a tough guy......"

Li Du interrupted her and shouted, "I see what you mean, you think I'm crazy, but I'm not crazy, Hannah! I just can't go to school, I'm not going to go crazy......"

"Shet, this bug is coming out again!"

Just as he was screaming hoarsely, the worm slowly emerged from his skin and jumped to the ground, leaned up and supported his legs, and walked on the ground on his legs like a human.

It just so happened that there was a drainage outlet next to it that landed, and the little insect didn't pay attention to walk over and fell headlong.

Seeing this, Li Du was overjoyed and said, "Great, the worm fell into the drain." ”

Subconsciously, a thought appeared in his mind, that is, what is in the drain, will there be sewage and drown this bug?

However, an unbelievable scene happened!
