Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 350

Episode 350 Gold Mine and Hot Springs [4]

The hot springs came really easily.

To the point where I wondered if this was even possible.

But the gold mine… … .

“We’re not interested in such stones… but you guys aren’t. We know very well how much you like them.”

“That’s right. In a way, it doesn’t matter if we dig up things that you’re not interested in, right?”

“No…… We knew that too. But look at the past.”

“Hmm.”

“You may not know. But…… these people are so greedy, no matter how much they have, they are never satisfied. They kill us to advance just for cigarettes, cotton, and the like. Gold? Needless to say.”

Should I call myself the chief?

Or should I say chief?

I don't know the exact name… … .

But I looked back at the person who was definitely an old man.

To be honest, I thought these people were a bit lacking.

That doesn't mean I thought I had an intelligence gap, because I wasn't stupid enough to follow garbage like eugenics.

'I used to think that they were people who wouldn't understand even if I cut off their noses because of cultural differences… '

But it seems a bit presumptuous to think that they would not have learned anything during the 200 years of exploitation.

Rather, I think you know more accurately than I thought.

The habits of so-called civilized people.

okay…….

Is it for nothing that they call it a gold rush?

How many massacres of Indians were obscured by the romantic talk of the Wild West?

The United States itself still has a system that is so poor compared to the UK that it makes you wonder if it is even comparable, and the western part of the country is simply wild compared to the eastern part.

“I understand.”

“Really?”

If rumors spread that there was a crack in that situation, there would be chaos.

First of all, it is obvious that all those who were living on this land would be killed or driven out.

I can guarantee you 100%.

21st century America is quite civilized… … .

And although it is a country with a sophisticated culture, the United States today is just a gangster country.

“If rumors spread that there’s gold, there’d be chaos. Hmm… but you know.”

"but……?"

That doesn't mean I'm giving up on gold.

If I didn't know history, then I wouldn't know…

The Wild West is going to happen anyway, right?

The era of the typical cowboy, who delivers mail while holding a gun, will soon begin.

Plus, once the United States learns of the climate of the West, the size of the landmass, and the resources such as gold, it will come here with all its might.

Even so, compared to the real imperialist powers of the Old Continent, it is an exaggeration to say that they are a second-rate power, but when it comes to dealing with the Indians, they are like a first-rate power.

“Hasn’t the rumor already spread to some extent? Everyone in this village knows about the gold.”

“I guess they’re just wondering. We haven’t really looked into it. And it’s not even right here.”

“Rather, rumors are scarier when they are uncertain.”

“Umm…….”

That's true.

There is no need to look into history books to see what happens as words become fleshed out and distorted.

You can see this just by watching the reality program created by the legendary PD where soloists appear to find partners.

Among them, I highly recommend watching the 16th season, which is especially evaluated as a field for social experiments.

“All those scumbags will come and look around. The townspeople, no matter where they come from, have come here to settle down and live… But the rest… Who knows what they’ll do?”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

“Why don’t you just leave it to us? We’ll fill it with trustworthy people and make sure no word gets out.”

Anyway, I tried to persuade him by giving such reasons.

I tried to make my face look as trustworthy as possible.

“Hmm.”

But the reaction was lukewarm.

Should I say that it feels like my body is telling me that I am not pretty?

'Ah, if only I could have shown you the 16th episode in person… … I would have been convinced right away.'

It is definitely not a glorification of the past.

I was sick at the time.

It wasn't just a minor illness, it was a brain tumor.

It's called fighting an illness. I was dying in real time, but I also thought that I wished the time would pass quickly because next week's content was lacking.

But then I realized with a start that that thought was soon followed by a desire to die quickly.

“How can I trust you?”

There were a lot of different things said, but to summarize, it was like this.

It seemed like he couldn't believe it.

Not only the chief, but the other guys were all looking at me with sharp faces.

Brother Liston, not liking that, quickly stepped forward.

“I don’t think it’s important whether you believe it or not.”

“Ah, brother. Just a moment.”

“Why. Just….”

“No, just a moment. This way.”

If it had been a different situation, I would have used the Liston knife.

This actually sounds really good.

If not His Majesty the King, then what… … .

But not now.

“We don’t even know where the gold mine is.”

So, first, I brought Brother Liston to the corner tank.

There was no particular need for understanding.

As soon as Liston revealed his intention to kill, all three of them shut their mouths and trembled.

Looking at it, I thought that threatening might be faster… … .

'No. I've heard that Native Americans… … have incredible pride.'

It might be scary right now.

So, there might be some cooperation.

But can that last forever?

No, it won't be.

Above all, if their relationship with the tribe they belong to goes wrong, they will not be able to sell gold, silk, or hot spring water.

I don't know what ingredients are in that water, but if it can be a starting point for treating cavities… … .

Maybe gold isn't the problem?

“Just ask.”

To my words, Liston answered as if he were someone who had built his life with just his fists.

surely…….

Looking at the fist he just stuck out, I think everyone would have an answer if they asked him about it.

But what if I tell you and then you sabotage it later?

Can't you tell from the conversation we just had that these aren't the Indians of old?

I dug for a long time, but if I throw dynamite at it… … .

It's terrifying to even imagine.

“Full cooperation will be important.”

"why."

“First of all, how much manpower would it take to mine gold? It might be possible to pan for gold, but… Anyway, it won’t be easy. If we ask for the cooperation of those gentlemen, there’s a chance that the rumor will spread to the east.”

“You want to make me work as a miner? Are you sure you want to do that?”

“Just pay a high price. And the gold… look over there.”

I climbed to the relatively high ground and pointed west.

There was a mountain range that could literally be described as magnificent.

That's probably the Rocky Mountains.

It's amazing, really.

“What is that? It must be a bear.”

“No… how much more gold could there be over there?”

"ah……."

“If you tease these people and they start working…… Huh? They’re called Nodaji.”

“Nodaji?”

“I said no.”

“No, I……?”

“No, that means you’re winning a lot of money!”

“Ah, ahh.”

I ended up spreading the word backwards, which originated from No Touch, but anyway, I think I got my point across, even if it wasn't exactly true.

“Good… I’ll bend over here… and eat all your marrow, is that it?”

“No… that’s not what I meant.”

“Isn’t that right? I like you because of this.”

“That… I like it, you said. But it’s not that evil.”

“Hahaha. Here we go again.”

What do you mean, what do you see with your eyes?

Liston chuckled and clapped me on the shoulder, then lowered his voice again.

And then he made a face as if he was planning something evil.

what…….

Faces are usually like that, but once you get close enough to me, you start to be able to tell them apart to some extent.

Perhaps other people, my disciples, wouldn't understand what I'm saying even if they were right next to me.

“By the way, your guard is too high…….”

“I told you there would be people who got sick.”

“Ah…… Aha. I see. You’re really thorough…… It’s scary.”

“It’s scary. If there are people around, there are bound to be people who get sick.”

“Hey. They barely do any work and just play around, so how could they get sick?”

"no……."

What would be the expression on our indigenous people's faces if they heard such words?

What the world, you're just playing around?

“Think about it. We white people have shed blood, sweat, and tears for the development of civilization… Oh, right. And you Asians? While you have contributed to the development of civilization… What worries and pains would those who have been doing nothing for thousands of years have?”

"that……."

“You see, even now, they are enjoying the civilization we have spread, even though they have done nothing. Do you know that? The people here have not even been able to tame their horses.”

"that……."

Should I talk about guns, germs, and steel?

I paused for a moment to consider Liston's blustering, his staunchly colonialist views.

This isn't exactly the same argument, but…

Isn't it somewhat similar to the fuss Japan made about invading our country?

'No, that's enough… … .'

The current treatment of sorcerers is just right.

A shaman who is medically useful is good, that's what I'm saying.

Here, appealing to a larger vision only serves to foment conflict.

Even that is beyond my ability, isn't it?

I literally just read a few books.

“But it will still be there.”

“Yes, because you made it that way.”

“No… I mean the chief right now.”

“Chief? That guy looks pretty healthy.”

“You won’t be able to see very well, right?”

“Huh… Is that possible with sorcery?”

“No, I said this is old.”

“How about that… I don’t really know.”

I probably wouldn't have known if I just looked.

Cataracts don't cause blindness until they become really severe.

Even though it's blurry, you can still see people's silhouettes.

Unless you're someone who needs to check your texts often…

It means that you can live to some extent.

Especially if the person I just met is someone with a high level of retardation.

“Let’s go back first. We’ll build trust by treating sick people, and based on that…….”

“Are we going to eat up all the gold mines in that mountain range?”

“Well… well, in a way, yes.”

“Okay, it’s you.”

Anyway, after kissing Liston, I went back to my seat.

It had been quite some time, but since I had barely come to my senses in the meantime, it didn't seem like I had been waiting for a long time.

Should I say thanks?

I was able to continue the conversation right away.

“There are sick people, right? In the tribe.”

“Huh?”

“I will treat those people. Please look at them and decide whether you can trust them or not.”

“No…… Treatment? How can I trust you for that…….”

“I am the King’s personal physician.”

"king?"

“Yes. I mean, the person who treats the highest person in England.”

“Umm…….”

As I was talking, I felt that people really need to be greedy for seats.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the faces of the Indians, who have no concept of king or anything, are shaking, so it is true.
