Seeing she went in, Cole felt that if he didn't go in, he would look like a coward.
Taking a deep breath, he shivered and followed into this old house.
Since nobody was living here for a long time, it was covered with cobwebs and dust everywhere. And it indeed looked like a haunted house in a movie.
Amber wiped the dust off the table and thought no wonder Cole just said so.
"Honey?" Cole's voice sounded.
Amber patted the dust off her hands, "What's wrong?"
"Where are your grandfather's notes?" Cole asked while waving a long broom he just got from somewhere.
Amber pointed to the direction of the study, "It's over there, but it's too dirty here. Let's clean it up first and then we can look for notes later."
"Okay, otherwise I won't be able to live here tonight." Cole nodded in agreement.
Amber opened the suitcase and took out a few towels from it, "Let's start then."
"You can wipe the tables and chairs and I'll deal with the cobwebs and sweep the floor." Cole stopped waving his broom.
Amber agreed, "Okay, so be it, I'll fetch some water from the well."
Saying that, she went to the backyard with a towel.
There was an ancient well, which had running water all year round.
Soon, the two began to get busy.
This busywork lasted for several hours, and it was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that the two of them finished cleaning the huge yard.
At this moment, they were exhausted and both slumped onto the deckchairs.
Cole was out of breath and said, "It... It's the first time I've done so much cleaning. I'm exhausted."
"Sorry. I'll make something delicious for you later." Amber said breathlessly.
Cole nodded with bright eyes, "Okay, I want to eat fish, but is there any fish here?"
"Yes." Amber sat up straight and rubbed her aching back, "There is a village on the hillside below, and the village head has fish in his house. I went there a few years ago. I will go there to buy some in a while."
"That's great." Cole clapped his hands happily.
Amber stood up, "Cole, you can go to make the bed first and I'll go to grandpa's study to look for notes."
"Okay." Cole looked at the room she pointed to.
It seemed that he would be staying in that room.
"Then where do you live?" Cole turned to look at her, "I can make your bed by the way."
Amber pointed to the room opposite him, "That's the room I used to live."
"Okay." Cole walked over with his suitcase.
Amber went straight to the old man's study.
The study had just been cleaned and it was spotless.
Amber came to the desk and opened the drawer to look for notes.
The notes were not difficult to find and she found them in the second drawer.
She flipped through it and confirmed that it was the one that her grandfather was looking for.
Just as she was closing the drawer, she suddenly saw something.
"This is... an album?" Amber saw the pink album in the drawer, which was lying down the notes, and took it out.
This album was small, only the size of a palm, but it was very thick.
