Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 333

Episode 333 Colorado? [4]

“It will take about two weeks.”

“Oh, I see. Two weeks…….”

“You might find it a bit boring.”

“Well… I guess I can hold out for about two weeks.”

Yeah, two weeks is fine.

No, it's not just okay, it's a lot shorter than I thought.

Was it like this in the Age of Exploration game too?

I don't think so.

I think it took quite a while.

‘Well… … The game is set in the 16th century… … .’

It's the 19th century now, so 300 years have passed.

At first glance, it looks like just a sailing ship, but it seems that there has been some development within the sailing ship.

Well, that's the natural flow.

The 21st century we live in is strangely fast-paced, but development has never completely stopped before.

“Okay, I’ll go. If anything comes up that’s inconvenient, please call me right away.”

"is it so."

Actually, I think it would be okay if the voyage was a bit longer than this.

First of all, we are now real VVIPs.

In the first place, doctors are people who are easily welcomed wherever they go.

This is especially true if you have good skills.

The first time I was on a boat was when I went to France, wasn't it like that then too?

But now, not only is his skill recognized as being almost the best, but his status has also risen so much that he is being taken care of by everyone, from the captain to the crew and passengers.

what…….

I paid a lot of money too.

I just hate having to struggle while moving.

“Ugh.”

Even with all that consideration, there are still some people who get motion sickness.

“Joseph. Is it that hard?”

“Ugh… I’m going to get sick… Ugh.”

He's not the only one who does this.

“Ah, I… I think I should go in… Ugh.”

“Come on, let’s go together.”

Alfred and Colin too.

Joseph and those two too, if you think about it, aren't they all the children of merchants?

In this day and age, if you want to do business on a large scale, you usually do it by boat.

“Your Majesty, are you okay?”

"right……."

"oh my……."

Even this ship is definitely Alfred's ship.

If it were normal, the old man would have ridden with me, but in the tea trade with China… … .

Thanks to Liston and me, we were able to get a spoonful, so we focused on that, and another employee rode here.

That's the person who just brought Alfred in.

There are worried faces, but there is also an unconcealed disregard.

It could be so, since they are people who take riding a boat as natural as breathing.

“Are you okay, Doctor Piyoung?”

“I’m okay too.”

“Lord Liston… Honestly, I think you could throw him anywhere.”

“That’s true. Haha.”

That employee.

A man of such high rank that he could rival the captain as an employee brought Alfred inside and then came out again and approached him.

Then he said to us two, the only ones in the group who looked sane, as if he was a little surprised.

The horse was surprised, but there was also a certain amount of admiration in it.

That's understandable, because it's not just our group that's starting to get seasick, most of the passengers are.

It's not a storm, but the sea is a bit rough.

“Ah…… Us…… Ah…… No, we went there when the Qing Dynasty invaded.”

“Oh, right. I heard that. Now that I think about it, it seems obvious that you’re familiar with the sea.”

“What… Cape Town? It was a bit difficult to get there.”

“It would be difficult there even for people like us.”

“Other than that… everything was fine?”

“Wow…… You were born with it. You’re no ordinary person, are you?”

At my words, Liston turned his head for a moment.

Then he shook his shoulders.

It was worth it.

I almost got killed when I went to Qing.

Well then what are we going to do?

Those who saw that sight back then… … .

Later, when they saw me draw blood from my heart, they were all shocked and asked me about myself, but that was all I could talk about.

“Anyway, the wind is a bit strong. I don’t think it will affect the ship though…….”

“There won’t be any problem, right?”

“Huh? Ah…… haha. It’s been a long time since I sank while going to America. It’s okay now. The route has been set and…… and above all, shipbuilding technology is much better now than it was back then.”

"okay."

“It’s a secret, but this ship was actually built in the United States.”

"yes?"

no…….

If it's American made in the 21st century, it's good.

Well, that's not necessarily the case.

But when it comes to weapons, American products are the best.

But during this time… … .

Especially for the British, doesn't anything American feel like something made in China, except for a few things like cigarettes?

Is that why you said it was a secret?

But why do you insist on saying that?

“Ah, ah. You misunderstood. I was like that too, so it’s not unreasonable.”

"yes?"

“These days, American ships are faster. These guys… I heard there are ships that only take a month to get to China. Well, that’s probably just a rumor.”

“A month…? Even though we were a warship, I think we were slower than that?”

“That’s what I mean. It takes three months or more for a regular merchant ship. But… American ships can get there in two months at the slowest.”

"her……."

As expected from America… … .

They say that a tree that will grow well is different from its cotyledon.

I guess it's not for nothing that it became the world's most powerful country.

Well, Britain has already won.

Yeah, I think it's a really good thing to be friendly with the US.

Will I be able to leave my name as a great ancestor later?

“Anyway, if it’s hard, go inside. The sea here is rougher than you think, and it starts to shake a lot.”

“Yes, yes. Well, it’s the sea, I’m used to it.”

"yes."

As I was muttering like that, the sun began to slowly disappear from my sight.

The sun wasn't going to set.

It's cloudy.

-Phew, I guess I can live a little.

Even with a hat on, it's not easy to withstand the sunlight on a sailboat.

There's a reason why so many sailors are bald.

Really… … .

My head feels like it's burning.

Even on the ship, there is no real drinking water, only alcohol, so there are many times when you don't realize that your head is hot, so it seems like you are getting more drunk and sinking more…

Anyway, I didn't know it at the time, but I remember Liston, who was already worried about the state of my hair, looking at the cloudy sky and saying this to me.

“I think it’s X, sir.”

When I think back on the long series of events that followed, I can't help but think that it's not such a big deal for a proud British noble to make such a vulgar remark.

I just think, 'That makes sense.'

“Shall we go inside first?”

“Yeah. At least this ship is better than that one.”

“On what basis?”

“It’s bigger.”

“Yeah. But…….”

Yeah, it's big.

But when I look at the vast ocean spread out before me, it doesn't seem that big at all.

To be honest, wouldn't a ferry boat or a sailing ship be the same in the face of that cruel nature?

what…….

What if it's a really big cargo ship?

“Ugh…….”

“Ughhhhhhh……”

When I entered the room, it was already a mess inside.

Fortunately, since it was first class, the space was quite spacious and all the furniture was attached and the door had a lock, otherwise all my stuff would have fallen over.

It's not like I'm just going back and forth with clothes and shoes that I've taken off like I am now.

“Hold this.”

“Yes, yes. I’m holding on. Uh…….”

Liston and I were much better off.

It's because I've been through hardships beforehand, and also because this storm is better than the last one.

At that time, I really thought I was going to die.

“If this goes on like this…….”

“Do you think some of the other people will get hurt?”

“That’s right. There were people who got hurt on the ship to France before.”

“What should I do?”

“What should I do? If it’s hurt, I should cut it.”

Even in this situation, Liston pointed to the knife he was wearing at his waist.

Only then could I recall the condition that had been on the back of my mind for some time, but which also needed to be addressed urgently.

'fracture…….'

In 21st century Korea, fractures are not a very common disease.

That's how modern society came to be in the first place.

It's bright even at night, the roads are straight, and even the steps are the same.

Of course, this is not the case for houses that are poorly built, such as military buildings… … .

In any case, young adults, especially those without nutritional deficiencies, have a lower risk of fractures.

Compared to that, how is it here?

'It really breaks if you hit it hard.'

Anyone would be broken if Liston hit them, but there were probably quite a few who would have just ended up bruised.

However, the fractures occurred due to chronic malnutrition.

Here are the sailors… … .

Malnutrition is a problem, but it's a job that only strong people do, and they have some tact, so they won't get into any serious trouble.

The problem is the passengers.

‘Why are you immigrating like that… … .’

Those of us who travel for business or pleasure are very few and far between, and are usually in first class.

It appears that other passengers boarded the ship intending to immigrate to the United States.

Not all of them, but… … .

I heard earlier that dozens of ships carry immigrants every year.

Judging from the fact that quite a few people go there, not only from the UK but also from Germany and France, the US is definitely… … .

'No, this is not it.'

Anyway, in 21st century South Korea, isn't immigration something that only people with some means do?

Even if that's not the case, it's not usually the choice for extremely poor people.

But not here.

Even in the squalid back streets of London, more desperate people sell everything they have and board this ship.

Do those people have strong bones?

'I hope everyone is holding on well.'

The only good thing is that, since it is a long-distance ship, there is always a place to grab onto, no matter where.

Even so, the third-class compartment is not a room that is completely empty, but rather a warehouse where you can lie down… … .

People in the 19th century were strong, so shouldn't it be okay?

If it's not okay, then it can't be done.

No matter how much I search for knowledge… … it is impossible to treat fractures with only the tools we have now.

Is it an open fracture?

Then, there is no other way than to give a truly amputated ending.

Choaaaah.

Suddenly it started to rain.

I get a feeling when I look outside through the window.

Of course, I was in a situation where I had to hold on to something and endure, so I didn't have the luxury of even opening my mouth to say anything, so I just stayed still.

Instead, it was Liston who opened his mouth.

“At least two days. Everyone just sleep.”

"eww."

“Ugh.”

It was a disappointing statement, but it wasn't wrong.

It was really two days later that the storm stopped.

Fortunately, there was no significant deviation from the course and no one was seriously injured.

They say it ended well… … .

Still, I couldn't give up on the idea of fracture treatment.

The only time I am personally at risk of fractures is when I am at sea, but other workers are at risk all year round.

And during this period, fractures have a very high probability of directly leading to physical dysfunction.

'From cavities to kimchi to fractures. There's a lot to do.'

I headed to America, organizing the knowledge I remembered here and there in my head.

I could see New York in the distance.

There was no Statue of Liberty yet.

However, many high-rise buildings were already built.

That's how my American journey began.
