To their surprise, they spotted two men sitting by the mountain stream as they made their way over following the sound of flowing water. The men were bent over as they scooped water from the stream to drink.
The girls were taken aback—they never thought there would be outsiders there.

Her gaze swept across the two bundles of wood placed next to their feet and she paused. Were these men just commoners who stayed nearby and had come for a drink because they were thirsty from chopping wood?
Yaoyao sized those two men up as well.
She knew this mountain belonged to Hexin's family. Here were two commoners trespassing on the property. It looked a little suspicious no matter what.
