The footsteps stopped at their courtyard entrance, suggesting that there were two grown men outside.
Soon, Xiang Kun identified them by the scent alone - they were the Liu brothers, Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang, who had intercepted them midway when they came to Chongyun village to find Liu Caifu a year ago.
Originally, the brothers intended to please Liu Feibao by "intercepting" Xiang Kun and his friends, but their plan did not materialize. Instead, they were taught a fierce lesson by Liu Feibao and later had to humbly apologize to Xiang Kun.
At l that instance, Liu Caifu mediated and gave assurance, thus Xiang Kun did not make things difficult for them.
This time, when he returned to Tongshi town, Xiang Kun learned from Liu Caifu that both brothers had been staying in Chongyun Village, working separately at two farms. They were reportedly well-behaved and hardworking, and had not stirred up any trouble.
