Chapter 754: Free Medicine
When Zhang Bin came out from behind the screen, servants had already brought in a charcoal basin.
The study was getting warmer. Zhang Bing wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said to Song Jinxiu, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Sit down."
Song Jinxiu took a seat after hearing this.
Zhang Bing threw the handkerchief away and closed the window. "This damn weather is freezing cold, and I don't know when this heavy snow will stop. When I came back from Dawei, it was snowing there too. It's never been like this in previous years. It would only last ten days or half a month, and then it would stop. And this year, we've actually had a disaster."
"The Emperor of Wei's coronation ceremony is in the next two days. If the snow doesn't stop and a disaster occurs, someone might take advantage of the situation and say he has incurred the wrath of heaven. The people of Wei always like to do these weird things. But speaking of this, it reminds me that if you didn't come, I would have come to see you tomorrow."
Song Jinxiu listened to him rambling on, still trying to figure out how to ask Zhang Bing for help. He subconsciously replied, "Looking for me?"
Zhang Bing nodded. "I was so busy catching up with you that I forgot to give you something nice."
He walked to the side, bent down and pretended to rummage in a box, and after a while he took out a porcelain bottle.
"Something happened when I went to Wei this time. I was injured when I escaped. Fortunately, I met a miracle doctor who treated me. His medical skills were very powerful. My injuries healed in just ten days. I asked him about your leg."
Song Jinxiu subconsciously reached out to touch his knees covered by his robe. Even when he was sitting, it still hurt.
Zhang Bing whispered, "You injured your leg earlier and it took too long to heal it completely. But every time I see you in so much pain, I get worried. I asked that miracle doctor if he could make you feel better, and he gave me some pills, saying that while it can't cure you, it can definitely make you feel better."
He handed the porcelain bottle to Song Jinxiu:
"I've had people try this medicine and tested the ingredients inside. They're all beneficial to the body. While it won't completely heal you, it's a very effective pain reliever. Whether it's a bone injury or an internal injury, it will quickly stop the pain after taking it."
"I saw you were in a lot of pain before. Take this medicine back and try it. If it works, I'll ask someone to get more. It will definitely make you feel better."
As Song Jinxiu tightened his hands on his knees, he felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at the porcelain vase on the table.
After the incident at the Duke's Mansion, he was injured in the leg and shackled and imprisoned. The injury continued in prison and his bones became crooked. After he was released from prison, he became lame. A series of events later left him no time to recover from his injury. In addition, he was injured and nearly died several times while on the run, so he suffered from leg disease.
Normally he would try his best to straighten his back and walk slowly so that it was not noticeable, but once he walked fast, his limp would be visible.
Beiling was bitterly cold, and his legs had been aching since winter began. It was better during the day, but he had trouble falling asleep at night even with hot compresses and medicine. He hadn't expected that Zhang Bin had only seen his legs hurt twice before and remembered it, and had even gone out of his way to get medicine for him.
Seeing that he didn't move, Zhang Bing quickly said, "Although I've tried this medicine, you can find someone else to take a look. After asking..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Jinxiu took the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, poured a pill into his mouth.
"Jin Xiu, you..." Zhang Bin was stunned.
Song Jinxiu took the tea and swallowed the medicine: "Since Brother Zhang has already tried it, why should I find someone else to try it?"
"But..." Zhang Bing said, "After all, it's something you can eat, so it's better to be careful."
Song Jinxiu laughed. "Of course you have to be careful with what others give you, but it's different, Brother Zhang. If you hadn't saved me back then, I would have been a pile of bones long ago. How could I be alive today?"
Zhang Bing immediately said, "What's the point of saving him? I've told you countless times. I was just doing it casually..."
"Yes, yes, Brother Zhang was so kind and picked me up by chance. I am so lucky to have met you."
"you…"
Zhang Bin wanted to say something when he met Song Jinxiu's smiling face. He could only glare at him helplessly, and then he couldn't help but laugh too.
Song Jinxiu originally regretted that he should not have doubted his benefactor, and was unwilling to reject Zhang Bin's kindness. However, he did not expect that just a moment after swallowing the pill, his body suddenly warmed up, and not long after, the pain in his knee that had been constant before also eased.
If it was like a needle piercing the bone before, now there was only the pain of an ant pinching it, and the pain was gradually decreasing. Even the body that had been seriously ill seemed to have recovered.
Song Jinxiu was surprised: "This medicine..."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhang Bing asked hurriedly.
"No, it's just that the effect of this medicine is amazing."
Song Jinxiu stood up, walked a few steps, and then sat down again and pinched his knee with his hand: "It really doesn't hurt that much anymore."
"real?"
Zhang Bing was filled with surprise. "Great! That genius doctor said this medicine is excellent for relieving pain and is also good for nourishing the body. Since it works for you, I'll ask those escorts to take a letter to Wei tomorrow when they leave the city. I'll ask them to buy more pills from that genius doctor."
Song Jinxiu heard this and said, "Such a good medicine must be expensive..."
"No matter how cheap it is, it's just some silver. Do you know when I was short of silver? Besides, you've consulted so many doctors before, but none of them could cure your leg. Now that this medicine can make you feel better, you're lucky. Don't mention whether it's expensive or not."
Zhang Bing said directly, "I'll go find those escorts later and have them deliver a message for me. Luckily, I've already asked where the miracle doctor is, so I'm not worried about finding him. I'll bring back some more pills so you don't have to suffer from the pain every day."
Song Jinxiu was deeply moved by Zhang Bin's sincere concern for him. Just as he was about to say that Zhang Bin was the only one who cared about his leg pain, he suddenly froze.
Leg pain?
He reached out and touched his knee, which was almost pain-free, and suddenly thought of another person.
When it comes to suffering from pain every day, who can compare to Ji Rongqing who suffers from a headache?
Song Jinxiu suddenly asked, "Brother Zhang, can this medicine only cure leg pain, or can it cure other things as well?"
Zhang Bing was stunned for a moment. "Others are possible too. The miracle doctor said this medicine is only used to suppress pain, not to cure the root cause. The tonic effect is also very slow. I was in severe pain when I was injured before, so he gave me this pill. I drank it and the pain went away."
Song Jinxiu was delighted when he heard this: "Great! Brother Zhang, you are my lucky star!"
"ah?"
Zhang Bin's face was filled with confusion.
Song Jinxiu said, "I came to see you tonight because you mentioned the Wei Dynasty's mobilization of merchant ships to transport military supplies. I was worried that if this matter came to the Khan's attention, you would have to show up, which would cause trouble for you."
"But now that we have this medicine, you don't have to take risks."
