I had this problem as well. The first time I couldn't get past them no matter what I did. I tried pushing and they wouldn't move. I tried talking to them, going away and coming back, everything except killing them. Eventually I re-loaded the game (I had saved it at the entrance to the village) and this time when I tried to push past I eventually got past them. It's bloody annoying though. I didn't want to kill them because I got stuck behind some toads elsewhere and eventually killed them, it turned the whole village against me. (I re-loaded that as well).
All I can suggest is save frequently.
