以前两日所剩的余米熬粥，滋味不见得属上乘，荒郊野岭，亦是难得。
显然云仲今日心境甚好，熬罢粥后捧碗，慢条斯理吹凉，笑盈盈朝吃瘪的李福顺看去，后者呲牙欲要发作，但掂量掂量方才那震人心魄的剑气，只得悻悻扭过头赌气，不看自家这位藏着掖着不实诚的师兄。三境对上二境，倘若仅有一两回马失前蹄，倒还尚可容忍，接二连三未能取胜，对从来颇为争强好胜，很有些自负的李福顺而言，仍觉灰心丧气。

云仲和李福顺在荒郊野岭，两人慢条斯理地吃完了熬出来的粥。cloudswerestillhanginglowinthesky,castingagentleshadowoverthetwomen.cloud‘seyessparkledwithamusementashewatchedLeewatchinghimeat.
