Chapter 251 Encounter

Chapter 251: Encounter (Part )
At this moment, Su Ming suddenly saw a very familiar figure in the crowded crowd in front of him, and that figure was none other than Ming Ke.

He was browsing the stalls here alone.

It can be said to be meeting an old friend in a foreign land thousands of miles away.

Su Ming couldn't help but smile and prepared to step forward to greet him.

Suddenly Su Ming noticed a petite figure wearing a gray windbreaker and a hood, approaching Mingke and pulling out a corner of the wallet from Mingke's pocket.

"Ankaja, hold it for me."

Su Ming directly handed the associated mineral in his hand to Ankajia, and then walked over quickly.

The reason why he didn't call Mingke directly was to avoid alerting the thief.

As a result, after the thief succeeded, whether out of caution or coincidence, he subconsciously turned his head and looked back. He happened to see Su Ming rushing towards him, and immediately ran forward in panic.

Su Ming then rushed forward without concealing his true colors, as he ran past Mingke.

Mingke suddenly reached out, grabbed Su Ming's arm, and shouted in surprise.

"Su Ming!"

Su Ming was speechless for a moment. This guy didn't react when he was robbed, but now his eyesight is so good, so he quickly spoke to Mingke.

"Don't catch me, your wallet was stolen."

Mingke was also stunned when he heard this, and quickly felt his pocket, and found that his wallet was really gone.

"Chase!"

Su Ming immediately chased after the thief.

Mingke came to his senses and quickly followed Su Ming to chase the thief.

The thief also ran forward desperately, relying on his small body to sneak around in the dense crowd.

"Give way!"

Su Ming and Ming Ke kept shouting to the people in front of them while rushing through the gap at the same time.

Of course, when they did this, they naturally ran into a lot of people who were looking for things.

"What the hell!"

"You have no eyes!"

Those passers-by who were shopping suddenly started cursing.

"Sorry!"

Mingke chased forward and did not forget to turn around and shout.

"Don't worry about it, just chase him first!"

Su Ming shouted to Ming Ke and quickened his pace to catch up.

At this moment, the thief looked back and saw Su Ming and Ming Ke approaching quickly. He became even more panicked and quickly turned into a more crowded street, trying hard to squeeze into the crowd.

"Huh~"

The thief kept panting and moving around in the crowd.

Not knowing how far he had run, the thief looked back again and found that he had gotten rid of Su Ming and Ming Ke, so he quickly ran towards the street on the right.

A moment later, the thief came to a remote alley.

There were trash cans placed outside the alley, and inside the alley, a middle-aged woman wearing a gray windbreaker on the outside and a blue knitted coat on the inside leaned against the wall. The woman's face was very pale, and her messy red hair was scattered beside her cheeks.

"Mom, mom, I have money now. I can take you to see a doctor."

The thief excitedly raised the wallet in his hand and shouted at the middle-aged woman.

At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed the thief's arm as he held up the wallet.

The thief turned his head in panic and saw that the person who grabbed his arm was none other than Su Ming.

Su Ming took the wallet back with one hand and at the same time lifted the thief's hood, revealing a childish face.

Su Ming was slightly startled and a little surprised. He didn't expect that the thief was a girl with bluish skin, about thirteen years old.

"Sir, it's all our fault. We offended you. Please show some mercy. We are refugees from the Crimson Country and we are really desperate. That's why Kartini did this. Please forgive her."

At this time, the sick middle-aged woman pleaded weakly.

Su Ming took a look at the middle-aged woman. Although the corners of her clothes were covered with stains, the exquisite workmanship was still evident. And from the pleading words of the middle-aged woman, it could be seen that she was not an ordinary refugee. She had a high level of cultural literacy and should be a noblewoman who had fallen on hard times.

Also, from the condition of this middle-aged woman, it can be seen that she must be seriously ill.

Su Ming then let go of Kartini's hand.

Kartini crawled to her mother's side in fear and huddled in her arms. Su Ming put Mingke's wallet into his pocket, then took out his own wallet, pulled out three bills, and handed them to Kartini.

Kartini looked at Su Ming in astonishment, but she finally took it timidly.

"Thank you, sir."

The middle-aged woman in front of him said with great gratitude.

Su Ming didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

Just as Su Ming was walking back along the street, Mingke rushed over and said breathlessly.

"People should be running forward."

"Don't chase me. I got my wallet back. Check to see if anything is missing."

Su Ming took out Ming Ke's wallet and handed it to him.

"it is good!"

Mingke took it happily and quickly opened it to take a look.

After confirming that everything was there, he let out a long sigh of relief and said.

"Great, I have my ID and everything, otherwise I would be in trouble."

"It's fine as long as you are all here. I didn't expect to run into you here. It's been a long time since we last met."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I couldn't believe it when I saw you. By the way, why are you here?"

Mink asked very happily.

"The school is organizing a large-scale practical mission to escort supplies to a neutral country. We are stopping here for a rest. What about you?"

"Same, I also came here with the school."

"I see. Where do you live now?"

Su Ming chatted with Ming Ke.

Mingke said with a gloomy face when he heard Su Ming's words.

"Don't mention it. I'm currently staying with my classmates in a small hotel in a civilian area. It's the kind that's located in a pigeon house, and there are ten of us squeezed into one room, and even the water supply is limited."

"We're all pretty much the same, how are you doing?"

Su Ming smiled and comforted.

"It's pretty good. I went to a pretty good high school in Rain City. But of course I can't compare to you. I have been following you. I didn't expect you to win second place in the three-school league. That's really awesome!"

"good!"

"What do you mean ok? When I told my classmates that I knew you, they all said I was bragging."

Mink became more and more excited as he spoke.

Su Ming smiled and said to Mingke.

"Mink, have you had lunch yet?"

"No."

"Let's find a place to eat and chat. I'll call your classmates over. I was so busy helping you catch the thief that I don't even know where he went."

"Okay, I'm treating you."

Mink said enthusiastically.

"no problem."

Su Ming and Ming Ke walked towards the street ahead.

A moment later, Su Ming, Mingke and Ankajia were sitting at a small stall on the street.
