1. Purple bug

Flagstaff, also known as Flagstaff City, is a small town in the western United States.

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

Many Chinese people have heard of these four names, including Arizona, Colorado Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, but not many people know about the flagpole city wrapped in the middle of these four areas.

Half a year ago, Li Du was also one of the "not many" until he came to Flagstaff City to study.

Flagstaff City is not well-known in China and in the United States, but there are indeed 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 than Flagstaff American College, but there is a huge difference between this word!

Flagstaff American College is a branch of American College. It is a very good private university, providing undergraduate, junior college, preparatory and other education.

Where is Flagstaff State College? This is a pheasant university, and Li Du was completely fooled to study for graduate school.

As a result, his tuition and research funds were paid in the first half of the year, and the school was sealed off. People from the school board and admissions department got the news in advance and ran away, leaving a group of international students who were confused and driven away from the school by the police.

Li Du was lucky because the school accommodation was too messy. He did not live in a dormitory to study quietly, but instead found an apartment to rent it. Now there is a place to stay. His classmates who paid the accommodation fee to live in the school are now wandering on the streets.

But his situation is not much better than his classmates. It is the end of January and his rent has expired. If he does not pay the rent in time, he may have to stay on the streets.

What's so miserable is that he has no money on him now!

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

Now that the school has been banned, he will definitely not be able to graduate school, so he has no face to ask for money from his elderly parents? As for finding classmates and friends, he doesn't want to do this if he is strong.

Sitting at the door of the small building with a frown, the pine wood door behind Li Du was pushed open, and a blond girl poked her head out: "Hi, Li, are you here?"

This girl is his landlord named Hannah Fox. The house is the legacy left by her parents who died in a car accident. It belongs to her and her brother Hans Fox.

However, Hans claimed that he had a big business and would not come to live for a few days a year, and the empty bedroom was rented out by Hannah to generate income.

Hearing the hello, Li Du stood up and said, "Oh, yes, Hannah, is there anything wrong?"

The girl shrugged and smiled, and a dimples appeared on her beautiful face: "I just saw a few cans of beer when I cleaned the refrigerator, which must have been left by that guy Hans. I remember you like wort beer, why not drink it?"

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

Seeing these beers, Li Du also smiled. There was only a small refrigerator in the apartment. He would open and close every day. Where was the beer inside?

Besides, with Hans' temper, if there was really beer, he would definitely not stay. This guy is addicted to alcohol.

According to his speculation, Hannah bought this beer to comfort him. After learning that their school was seized, Hannah had comforted him many times, which moved him very much.

However, Hannah didn't have many tricks to comfort him, either giving him an inspirational book or giving him a beer.

This American girl once asked him to learn about Chinese culture and learned the saying "A drunkenness relieves a thousand worries".

She thought that according to the Chinese character, sleeping drunkenly could relieve her worries, so she gave him beer several times.

Li Du accepted Hannah's kindness and pretended to owe the girl a favor.

In American social networking, some gifts cannot be rejected, otherwise friendship will be rejected by misunderstandings. He cherishes his friendship with Hannah very much.

He took the wooden box, and Hannah left with a smile, before leaving, saying, "There are many problems in life, but it is still beautiful."

After saying this American slang several times, Li Du opened the packaging and wanted to take out a can of beer.

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

The crystal is about the size of his thumb, and it fell heavily on the cement floor, with several cracks appearing on it.

The reason I guess this is amber is because it is light yellow in color and is wrapped in a small insect, which is very similar to the amber he saw in the sixth grade of elementary school.

At that time, their textbook had a text called "Amber". When the Chinese teacher taught them a piece of amber.

This crystal reminded him of some wonderful times in his childhood. He remembered that the teacher said at that time that amber with small insects was very precious.

Unfortunately, this one had already fallen and cracked, which made him very sorry. Otherwise, if he had sold it, he might have exchanged for two months of living expenses.

The crystal fell seriously. After he picked it up, he had broken apart, and the purple insect wrapped in it was exposed.

The small insect looks like a locust. It is about two centimeters long and has a strange appearance. It has locust-like compound eyes, but it only has two legs under its belly, strange patterns on its legs, and no wings on its back, which looks clumsy.

Li Du had never seen such a bug before, so he raised it strangely to see it clearly.

At this moment, something strange happened: the little insect's claws suddenly moved, then quickly regained their vitality, twisting their bodies to break free from his fingers.

Before he could react, the little bug jumped into his palm, his head drooped down, and slowly, drilled into his palm bit by bit!

Li Du was scared and really wanted to pee!

The worm in the amber was already terrifying to resurrect. As a result, this thing was like an alien, and it penetrated into his palm, and then turned into a tattoo-like thing...

With a scream, he stumbled into the room and shouted, "Hannah, call 911! Help, a bug is in my hand!"

It was probably his screams were too shrill, and Hannah looked panicked when she came out: "What? What bug?"

Li Du spread his hands to her: "It's this, this bug in the palm of my hand!"

Hannah looked confused: "The bugs in your palm? Where are there bugs in your palm?"

Not only were there insects, but the insect was still moving. After it penetrated into Li Du's palm, it seemed unwilling to be lonely. Then it got out again, and half of its body came out.

Li Du pointed to the bug that was drilling out and said in horror: "This, just this, purple locust, can't you see it?"

Then, Hannah's expression was even more terrified than him, and then the girl slowly retreated and said, "Li, I know that the school was sealed down is hard for you to accept, but I think you are a warrior and a tough guy..."

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

"Shete, this bug is coming out again!"

Just as he was screaming at the top of his lungs, the little insect slowly drilled out of his skin and jumped to the ground, poked up his upper body and supported it with his legs, and walked on the ground like a human.

Just so happened that there was a drainage outlet next to it when it landed. The little bug walked over without paying attention and fell head-on.

Seeing this, Li Du was overjoyed and said, "It's great, the insect fell into the drain."

Subconsciously, a thought appeared in his mind, that is, what is in the drain? Will there be sewage and drown the insect?
