The three guys present were all human spirits.

They knew each other, but they all wore hypocritical smiles, and no one broke them, introduced each other, touched the wine glass, and chatted like old friends.

Of course, it is impossible to talk about anything serious on this kind of crowded occasion, but it is full of ups and downs and praise and appreciation for the celebrities in the venue, which provokes Avril to pinch little Morgan's arm.

The night is getting deeper.

Gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, full of wine and food, dragged some celebrities into the bathroom or stairwell.

The banquet hall became less crowded.

And the few people who got together with Shen Jiannan glanced at each other, and also walked out of the banquet hall with the big flow, and got into their respective cars.

The shining headlights illuminate the entire road as if it were daytime, and as the taillights turn on and off, cars merge into the traffic and go in all directions.

In a smoothly driving Rolls-Royce, Shen Jiannan stopped Avril's petite and thin body, prompting her muscles to grow as soon as possible, while the little girl's face was flushed but she didn't struggle, she could only hug Shen Jiannan's neck tightly, holding her neck high, and was embellished with one mark after another.

For a long time, Avril's fair face was full of red glow, and her neck was full of red marks, her eyes seemed to be crying, and she looked at Shen Jiannan with resentment, as if she was blaming him for stopping halfway, and she seemed to be relieved.

Shen Jiannan hugged the person to his lap and said, "My angel, can't you wait?"

At this time, Avril's pure eyes were charming and moving, and her thin but not thin figure was wheezing rapidly, but how could this kind of answer be easy to answer, so she had to grab a handful of Shen Jiannan and express her dissatisfaction and grievances.

Shen Jiannan laughed and teased the little girl, but asked on his lips: "Are you sure you really take this road?" ”

Avril pursed her lips slightly, "Of course." I'm not a road idiot, and although I don't come here many times in France, I know the road. ”

Soon, the car drove into a broad road under Avril's direction.

After walking for another half an hour, the dense shade of the trees covered the moonlight in the sky, and the terrain was flat, but the surroundings became desolate and quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Suddenly, the terrain turned again, and the shade of the trees turned into lawns and fences.

By the moonlight in the sky, a majestic manor castle covering an extremely large area was lit up like fire in the distance.

The whole castle is surrounded by an artificial lake, the Roman architectural style of large arches, large domes, and large vaults, under the golden glow, there is a solemn and deep time quiet, and the water surface reflecting the light is like a mirror reflecting the sun, and the beauty of the colorful ripples reflects the heritage and glory of Morgan's century.

The car gradually stopped, and Avril pulled Shen Jiannan out of the car.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the vivid murals on the walls, imitation marble sculptures and walnut wainscoting, under the light, the gold is splendid, gorgeous and rich, revealing a luxurious and heavy aristocratic atmosphere.

Morgan Jr. and Michelle Condesus were chatting in the living room when they saw Shen Jiannan and Avril come in, and got up to say hello.

Shen Jiannan kissed Avril Lavigne on the cheek and gently patted her on the waist, who greeted his brother and Conder Su knowingly and walked towards his room.

There were only three men left in the room, and they looked at each other and smiled and sat together.

......

Bell –

Bell –

Bell –

Time always slips away quietly between your fingers.

Before you know it, the bell rings on New Year's Day, which means that the year has passed.

But in this glorious era of turning things around, the arrival of the new year does not mean that it will bring happiness.

Turkey, Erzurum Province.

The black and oppressive sky, the dark clouds pressed down like lead, and the white land passed at a glance, except for the lofty mountains and snowflakes, there were hardly any human footprints in sight.

No one thought that the blizzard would last for a month, and the whole world seemed to be submerged in ice and snow.

Ugir Meka rubbed his hands together and buttoned up his watermelon skin hat and walked out of the house.

He has run out of coal for heating his family, and he must go to the city to buy some coal and soju back, otherwise, he may freeze to death tomorrow in this cold winter.

However, when he walked to the hut where the donkey was tethered, Ugir Meka felt that his blood was frozen all over his body, and his heart was filled with a deep sense of regret and heartache.

The three donkeys stood in the grass hut, covered with silvery white ice crystals, motionless, already ice sculptures.

Pain!

It hurts.

As if his heart was being pinched, Ugir Meka felt like he couldn't breathe.

His family is not wealthy, living in a place like Erzurum province, and relying on donkey carts to get around, but the donkeys are all frozen into ice sculptures, so how can he and his family live?

A deep despair and unwillingness swelled from the depths of my heart.

Ugir Meka hurriedly called out his family and his friends, hoping to save the donkeys that had been frozen into ice sculptures.

However, can the ice sculpture be resurrected?

Someone persuaded him: "Ugir, I think it's better to kill these donkeys, freeze-dry them and save them, they are dead." ”

Kill the donkey!

Where can the family's hopes be found?

Ugir Meka knelt down towards the distant mountain peak with his hands folded, and stood up with a sigh of thought: "I hope you will help us, I believe that they are still alive." ”

A miracle really happened.

Everyone worked together to brush the ice on the donkey's body with a big brush, and the poor donkeys were frozen all night, and when the ice was brushed down, the donkeys came back to life.

Miracles.

It was a miracle.

Everyone knelt down on the ground, and it was unbelievable that the donkey, which had been frozen outside all night and became an ice sculpture, could still come back to life.

After praying for half an hour, the donkey was fed beans and hot water.

By noon, Ugir Meka drove his donkey cart and headed out to the town in high spirits.

It was not convenient to purchase in the northern cities, and with a million lire, Ugir rubbed his hands and let the clever donkey move forward on his own, sighing and thinking about what to buy with all this money.

Prices in the town had been rising since two months ago, but the odious thing is that only the prices of what are needed have risen, and the prices of what are sold have not increased much.

Ugir Meka was a little worried, a million lire, he really didn't know if he would have enough to buy what he needed for his family.

Sometimes, he wonders why the same money can't buy the same things in the past.

What's even more ridiculous is that there is more money, but there are fewer and fewer things to buy.

Ugir Meka couldn't figure it out.

I don't understand it at all.

He only knew that if he needed to buy at least 200 catties of coal and 300 catties of grain for a family of four this time, he could hold on until the winter passed.

The donkey cart walked slowly, but fortunately, the donkeys who lived here were not afraid of the cold and were extremely intelligent, dragging their bodies almost frozen by the cold wind and the blizzard, and finally brought Ugil Meka to the town.

Compared to the sparse and desolate roads, the town is obviously much more lively, and from time to time you can see the same donkey carts pulling people around.

Occasionally, you can even see cars that can only be found in big cities, honking their horns.

Ugir Meka glanced enviously at a past pickup truck, which he recognized as a Russian pickup truck, especially suitable for traveling in such weather.

Sitting in the car, you don't have to be blown by the blizzard and biting by the cold wind.

However, Ugir Meka only looked at it, and he knew that such an expensive thing as a car was far, far away from him.

Driving the donkey cart to a wholesale coal store in town, Ugil Meka jumped out of the car, took the bag, pressed the watermelon cap on his head, and walked into the store.

"Boss. What is the price of coal now?"

"One hundred thousand kilograms. ”

One hundred thousand kilograms?

Ugir Meka wonders if the boss is crazy.

One hundred thousand kilograms, to rob a bank, it is not so expensive.

The boss helplessly explained: "Man, this is the current market price, not my family selling at this price." ”

Ugir Meka said angrily: "My cousin is a worker in the coal factory, he was fired because of the overproduction in the factory, and you actually told me that this is the price. The last time I came to buy it, it was only 11,000 kilograms. ”

The boss shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, you can go somewhere else and ask about the price again." ”

“......”

Ugir did not buy coal.

Because his family needs food more than coal.

But he didn't expect that the price of soybeans was also rising, and the soybeans he bought in a million lira were many, much less than expected.

dragged his almost frozen body home, boiled a large pot of soybeans, and the family finished eating the salt, huddled in the quilt and shivered.

The lovely daughter Mena curled up on her dad and sucked his body temperature and asked, "Daddy." It's so cold today, why don't we burn some coal to keep warm?"

Ugir Meka's heart felt like he had been injected with sulfuric acid, and the pain was terrible, but he still squeezed out a smile and explained: "There is not much coal at home, and now the price of coal is very expensive, and my father is unemployed again, so we have to save a little." ”

The six-year-old child, when he was at his most innocent, blinked his thin eyes and asked, "Why is Dad unemployed?"

In an instant, tears welled up in Ugil Meka's eyes, and he turned his neck and said, "Because there is too much coal." ”

“......”

The night gradually passed.

When the sun rose, the neighbor knocked on the door of Ugir's house, and it was too cold at night, and he wanted to borrow Ugir's donkey cart to go to town to buy some coal.

But for a long time, I didn't hear the door open.

Could it be because of coal poisoning?

The neighbors called out more neighbors, and after several shouts and no response, they worked together to pry open the door of Ugir's house.

On the rickety table, there is a small half pot of uneaten soybeans, and the beans look particularly beautiful because of a layer of ice cubes.

But everybody, all of them were silent.

On the kang not far away, a family of four huddled together as if drowning, but Tie Qing's face and closed eyes were obviously lifeless.

I don't know who led the way, everyone knelt down towards the dead family with their hands folded, chattering, hoping that the family could be redeemed.

The wind suddenly blew in from outside.

The biting cold wind, with a chill that penetrated the bone marrow, shook the faith in the hearts of the people who prayed.

But in the end, everyone told themselves that it was just a test of God.

Everything will pass.

Ankara.

William stood in an underground market, his eyes full of compassion and forbearance.

Everywhere I looked, there were thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls and women, desperate and hopeful watching the crowd coming and going, while their fathers or husbands, like beggars, kept asking about something to the richly dressed.

William really never imagined that he would have a day when his hands were covered in sin.

In just one month, what he heard and saw made him feel very uncomfortable and guilty.

The lira plummeted from 20,000 to 200,000 at the exchange rate, and I don't know how many people froze to death in this cold winter because of the rapid inflation of the currency.

And this market is the almost open human trafficking market that has been derived from the economic collapse.

Sell your daughter, sell your wife.

Or pack and sell his wife and daughter.

No one would have thought that in a modern civilized society, such an absurd and tragic thing would happen.

Suddenly, a man stopped William's steps, and said with a flattering and expectant smile on his face, "Sir." Can you buy my wife and daughter? Asya is only thirty years old and has never done menial work, and Sadai and Farah are twins and are only fourteen years old this year. A billion, no, I only need 500 million lira, and they are all yours. ”

William is very ashamed of this kind of man who sells his sons and daughters, and even his wife.

But when he saw the woman who was sold and a pair of twins, a trace of deep pity and regret flashed in his eyes.

Mother, who looks about thirty years old, is thin and weak, and obviously has very poor nutrition, but the general outline can still be seen that she should have been a beautiful woman.

The two twin daughters, because of their emaciation, look very big, and their dull skin is a little dull, but they still have the foundation of a Turkish beauty embryo.

But it was clear that they were going to be sold, but the mother and daughter were not angry or hateful because they were about to be sold, looking at William, the three pairs of eyes were full of fear of the unknown, but there was a hope that could not be concealed.

"Please, sir, buy us, and we'll take care of you. ”

William looked at him, and the mother who was holding the child in her arms begged and said.

For a moment, William's heart was touched.

He took out 100 million lira, handed it to the man who was also full of hope, and said, "God is taking care of you." ”

The man said with a look of ecstasy on his face, "Thank you, thank you." ”

William didn't say anything, showed a compassionate look, and took the mother and daughter to the car.

When he returned and arranged for the hotel waiter to take a bath and change clothes for the three of them, he walked into the market trading department alone.

The head of trading came over and said, "Boss. The boss just called and said that we need to continue to push Turkey, 200,000 is not good, then 1 million. ”

William sighed and said, "Then I'll be exhausted." ”

The director was puzzled: "The boss has been working hard lately, it's time to take a break." ”

William rolled his eyes angrily, he really didn't know whether the guy in front of him understood or didn't understand.

Walking to the central quotation area and looking at the price of the lira in the market, William rubbed what seemed to be a small overlord gamepad and pressed a button.

"We need work!"

"We must strictly investigate corruption and stabilize the financial order. ”

"The Financial Secretary's transfer of foreign exchange reserves has caused inflation, and the people must be given an explanation. ”

"You damn bastards, can't you see that hundreds of thousands of people have been starved and frozen to death, and the central bank must immediately stabilize the financial order......"
