金蝉脱壳　

☆石磊

　　 今年五一节，玉娟到首都玩了几天，今天她满脸笑容回来了。她打开门，看见一个二十五六岁的姑娘在她家中，她长得十分迷人。那人见到玉娟，便微笑问她：“你找谁 ? ”

　　“我找谁 ? 这是我的家。”玉娟看着她，有点迷惑地反问。
　　 “你会不会搞错，这是你的家 ? ”站在面前的她，一脸惊讶。
　　玉娟以为自己真的走错了门，环顾了大厅一眼，证实自己没有入错门，便问：“你是谁 ? 怎么到我家来 ? ”
　　 “啊，我的天 ! 我给他骗了，这个雷打的家伙，我要找他算账。”霎时，她变得满脸怒气，愤愤地说。
　　 “你给谁骗了 ? ”玉娟见她这么生气，便问她说。
　　 “他……他骗我说离了婚，就把我带到这里来……”她再也说不下去，转过身呜呜哭了起来。
　　 玉娟一听到这话，怒从心起。想不到那么老实的丈夫，趁她五一旅游，就把女人带到家里。这么说，老公早有此意。原本她是不出去旅游的，老公老是劝她到外面走走，说别老待在家里。这样看来，老公的这番好意是假的。玉娟看到面前哭泣的姑娘，便大喝一声：“给我滚 ! ”
　　 那位姑娘连看都不敢看玉娟一眼，夺门而出。
　　 玉娟立即打老公的手机，叫他马上回家。她越想越气，把啤酒瓶、茶杯、花瓶摔得满地都是碎片，然后倒在床上，伤心地哭了。
　　 玉娟的老公一踏进家，看到满地都是碎玻璃，内心颇为紧张，不知发生了什么事，便叫了起来：“玉娟……玉娟……”
　　 玉娟满脸泪水从卧室走了出来，她看到老公就咬牙切齿。玉娟的丈夫见她这个样子，纳闷地问：“玉娟，发生什么事了 ? ”
　　 “罗剑平，你问你自己，你这个没良心的东西。”玉娟两眼圆睁，发射出愤怒的目光，一步步向他逼近，剑平从来没见过温柔的妻子这样生气过。
　　 剑平见妻子这副样子，倒害怕起来，竟一步一步后退，又问：“玉娟，究意发生了什么事 ? ”
　　“你老实交代，你们有多长时间了 ? ”
　　 “什……什么你……你们 ? ”剑平给弄糊涂了，一时连说话也结结巴巴。
　　玉娟再也忍不住了，狠狠地打了丈夫一个耳光，说：“你还想装糊涂 ! ”
　　“你发什么神经 ? ”剑平大声质问玉娟说。
　　“好，好，你是不会说的，那我走，我成全你们。”玉娟说完走进卧室收拾衣服什么的，准备离开这个家。

　　“要走可以，可把话得说清楚。”剑平的声音也大了。

　　“还有什么可说 ? ”玉娟边收衣服边说。

　　“你把我的首饰都拿给那个狐狸精了 ? 我跟你没完。”玉娟向他奔来，想跟丈夫拼命。
　　 “今天，你是中了哪门邪 ! 我知道你的首饰放在哪里 ? ”剑平大喝一声，把玉娟给慑服了，她呆呆地站着。
　　 “她……她……难道是……是一个贼 ? 我中了她的计了。”玉娟如梦初醒，自言自语地说。
　　 玉娟夫妻又拉开抽屉。锁早已撬开，一万三千多元现金也被盗走了。

　　Yujuan enjoyed herself in the capital during May Day this year. Today she came back in glee. As soon as she opened her door, she found a twenty-five or twenty-six aged girl that was charming in the house. The girl saw Yujuan, then said smilingly: “ Who are you looking for?”

　　“Who am I looking for? This is my house, ” said Yujuan, looking at her in a confused state.

　　“There is a mistake, isn't there? Is this your house.?” She was surprised in front of Yujuan.

　　Yujuan thought herself must make a mistake, looked around the dining room. She verified that she's right and said: “Who are you? Why do you come to my home?”

　　“Ah! My God! He deceived me, this blackguard! I'll square accounts with him,” she was burning with anger in a twinkling.

　　“Who deceived you?” Yujuan saw her being anger and asked.

　　“He … he deceived that he had divorced and took me here … ” She couldn't continue her words, and turned round to cry.

　　Yujuan heard what she said, becoming angry in mind. She couldn't imagine her honest husband who took a woman back as her traveling on May 1. It looked like that he had been conspire for a long time. Originally, she had no plan to travel. But he persuaded her to tour instead of staying home. It seemed that her husband's good will was false. Seeing the weeping girl, she shouted at her, “Get out!”

　　The girl didn't dare to look at Yujuan and ran away.

　　Yujuan called her husband to come back quickly. She got angrier because of thinking it. Then she broke up all beer bottles, vases and tea glasses on the floor. She lied down on her bed and cried sadly.

　　When her husband got home, he saw all the broken glass on the floor. Becoming nervous, he couldn't understand what had happened. And he called out, “Yujuan … Yujuan … ”

　　With tears on her face, she walked out from the bed room. While she saw her husband, she gnashed her teeth. Seeing her terrific face, he asked in puzzlement: “What has happened to you, Yujuan?”

　　“Luo Jianping, you ask yourself. You are a dirty swine without conscience.” Yujuan's eyes fully opened. She glared with anger and came to him step by step. Jianping never saw her gentle and soft wife by now.

　　Seeing her wife's anger, he was afraid and moved back step by step, and asked again. “Yujuan, what has happened now?”

　　“You must make a confession. How long have you been together?”

　　“What … what have you … you?” Jianping was in a muddle, stammering at that moment.

　　Yujuan got angry. She slapped her husband's face, said: “Do you pretend not to know now?”

　　“You aren't quite right in your mind now!” He questioned her with a shout.

　　“OK! OK! You couldn't say any words. Let me go away. I help you two!” Finishing her saying, Yujuan got into the bed room, packed her clothes. She prepared to leave.

　　“If you leave, you must tell me why.” Jianping spoke loudly.

　　“What can I say?” Yujuan answered him packing her clothes.

　　“You sent my jewelry to your fox spirit? I won't let off you!” Yujuan ran to him, wanted to wrestle with her husband.

　　“Today, you must be bewitched. I never know where your jewelry are.” Jianping shouted at Yujuan. She was submitted because of fear. She was dumb as a wooden chicken.

　　“She … she … Is she … a thief? I fell into her ruse.” Yujuan said to herself as if awakening from a dream.

　　Two husband and wife, saw the drawer. The lock was opened. Over thirteen thousand yuan was stolen, too.
