Close to the ground, Manbao listened for a while and heard a clip-clop sound coming from the ground, seemingly from a far distance, but upon closer listening, it seemed to be right nearby.
Her eyes lit up as she looked towards Bai Shan opposite her.
Bai Shan also heard it, equally surprised and delighted. He lay down on the ground, pressing his head against it, closed his eyes, and listened carefully. These clip-clop sounds were not all the same; some were heavier, some lighter, with many sounds mingling together, but quite a few were overlapping.
Bai Shan's fingers couldn't help but tap along rhythmically with these sounds...
After listening for a while, Manbao sat up and asked Daji, "How can you distinguish these sounds as horses, cows, or sheep?"
Daji paused for a moment before saying, "You can tell as soon as you hear it."
