I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 327, Glasses

Translator: Silavin

After returning to the wooden house, Su Bai thought about the glass and asked, “Xiao Yu, who in the Tribe has trouble seeing things clearly?”

He suddenly thought about nearsighted glasses. Whether in this era or back on Earth, nearsightedness was common.

However, things were different here. In this world, most nearsightedness in Large Tribes was congenital, rarely acquired.

Only people from Earth developed acquired nearsightedness from playing on phones, gaming, or staying up late reading, etc.

In primitive times, no one had phones and everyone went to bed early, so acquired nearsightedness was almost non-existent. In most cases, it was completely congenital.

“Who in the Tribe can’t see things clearly?” Yu Ying’s heart skipped a beat, feeling like he was talking about her.

“What’s wrong? You don’t look well,” Su Bai gently asked.

Yu Ying shook her head repeatedly, saying: “Nothing’s wrong, nothing. Shaman, I can see things very clearly.”

The fox eared girl was so nervous she could barely speak coherently, wondering if the Shaman had discovered something.

Not being able to see clearly was so embarrassing – she definitely could not let him know. Otherwise, he would not let her continue being a Shaman Priestess. No, Shaman would want a Shaman Priestess who could not see clearly.

The fox eared girl believed the Shaman must have discovered something, otherwise, he would not suddenly ask this question. She thought he must be planning to dismiss her.

Su Bai waved his hand in front of the fox eared girl’s face, noticing her expression was like a dramatic scene, looking very complicated.

He withdrew his hand and asked: “What are you thinking about? Have you encountered some difficult problem? You can tell me, I’ll help you find a solution.”

He had no idea that the fox eared girl was currently experiencing an internal conflict about being dismissed from the wooden house.

“I’m fine. Shaman, why are you suddenly asking this question?” Yu Ying tried to calmly ask.

The fox eared girl stood very stiffly, her expression looking unnatural, very much like a forced smile.

“No reason, I just want to help them. It’s not pleasant when you can’t see things clearly.” Su Bai softly said.

He had noticed the fox eared girl’s strange behavior and raised his eyebrows while watching her, hoping she would speak up herself.

“Isn’t the Shaman going to dismiss me?” Yu Ying asked with wide pink eyes in surprise.

“Dismiss you? Why would I dismiss you?” Su Bai was completely confused by the question.

“Because I can’t see things clearly, so the Shaman wants to dismiss me and find a new Shaman Priestess…” Yu Ying lowered her head, depressed.

“Hahaha…” Su Bai was amused by her innocence, finding it too adorable.

Yu Ying tilted her head and asked, puzzled. “Shaman, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly laughing?”

“Why would I dismiss you? You just can’t see things clearly, that’s not very important.” Su Bai’s smile widened slightly.

“But because I can’t see clearly, I’m slow at sewing linen clothes, and that affects you, Shaman.” Yu Ying said in a soft voice.

Su Bai smiled warmly and said. “You’re already doing very well, and we have enough linen clothes now. So you can just take your time. There is no real need to rush.”

He suddenly felt warmth inside, not for any other reason, but because even when she could not see clearly, she was still thinking of him.

Back on Earth, he never received this kind of treatment. It was not that there were no beautiful girls who cared about him. With his refined appearance, he could have had plenty if he wanted, but he never wanted to go out, so he never got to know others.

“Really?” Yu Ying raised her head joyfully, a smile appearing on her face.

The fox eared girl could finally set aside her worries. Otherwise, she really would not have been able to eat or sleep properly.

“Of course it’s true, and I have a way to help you see things clearly.” Su Bai confidently said.

“Shaman, you have a way to help me see clearly? Is it using a Shaman Technique?” Yu Ying asked in shock.

To the fox eared girl, Shaman Techniques were the most effective solution, and since she could not see that clearly from birth, it should work.

“No, we’ll use a scientific method to help you see clearly.” Su Bai shook his head.

“Shaman, what method is it?” Yu Ying’s pink eyes widened, her pink fox tail swaying along.

“We’ll use the glass we made today to create a pair of glasses for you.” Su Bai calmly said.

“Glasses? Shaman, what are glasses?” Yu Ying heard another new term, and this one sounded similar to eyes.

Su Bai stood up to leave the wooden house, saying. “Come on, I’ll make a pair of glasses for you.”

Making glasses from glass was not difficult, they just needed to add one more ingredient to the materials, lead. Adding this material would complete the ultra-clear crystal glass needed for making lenses.

“Shaman, wait for me!” Yu Ying followed closely behind with anticipation, though still feeling confused.

They returned to the kiln, where Su Bai added lead to the original mixture.

Soon, he had people continue pumping air into the kiln to ensure the temperature reached 1500-1600 degrees.

Time passed minute by minute, and the materials in the kiln began to merge, turning into liquid glass.

Su Bai had them take it out and pour it into a prepared mold – a small circular concave groove that looked about the same size as a lens. One which he had personally estimated.

“Shaman, why did you suddenly make it so small?” Yu Ying did not understand.

“Shaman, what do glasses look like?” Yan Hua asked curiously, as she and the cat eared girl had not left.

They had stayed by the kiln, watching curiously as the others made glass. Each new piece of glass made them feel a sense of accomplishment.

“You’ll know in a moment.” Su Bai said in a mysterious tone.

There was no point explaining too much now. It was better to show them the finished product directly.

After about ten minutes, the glass poured into the concave mold had cooled and become bright and transparent.

“Ah! It’s so beautiful, so bright and pretty!” Yan Hua’s red eyes widened.

She felt this piece of glass looked different, though the difference was subtle. Nevertheless, she really liked the piece in the Shaman’s hand.

“Shaman, are these glasses?” Sha Lan asked curiously.

Su Bai smiled without saying much and had someone bring out the tools he’d prepared in advance.

It looked like a small frame, with the main body made from a Hollow Tree branch, its ends placed on X-shaped small stands.

The Hollow Tree branch was wrapped with a long vine, appearing to be some kind of polishing tool.

“Shaman, what’s this strange thing?” Yu Ying asked curiously as she moved closer to look.

“This is a magical tool.” Su Bai said.
