He was ill, not physically, but mentally.
Su Qingzhu put himself in Su Xiaodi's shoes and went over Su Xiaodi's mental journey in his mind. Maybe it was not completely correct, but it was enough for analysis.
Su Xiaodi's current condition is nervousness, anxiety, panic, and insecurity.
He was nervous and scared, afraid that his sister would become depressed again and leave him again.
He doesn't trust others. He would rather not play with the things he likes, but watch over and protect his sister.
He thought that in this way, his sister would always be there and would not disappear again.
Su Qingzhu sighed heavily.
In fact, if someone had told him when she was rescued, "Your sister is fine, but she needs to stay in the hospital to recuperate. She will come back when she recovers," perhaps he would not have fallen ill.

At that time, they were by the river. My sister was motionless, and everyone else in the family was crying. My younger brother Su, who was also crying, saw it all.
Because he looked so small and was being held in someone's arms, the surrounding villagers subconsciously ignored the fact that he was already 4 years old and could understand, see and remember most words and things.
He heard them saying things like "Si Ya is in trouble", "Si Ya must be dead", "Si Ya can't be saved" beside him.
Although he didn't quite understand what "death" meant, the word "bad" reminded him of Mr. Li next door.
Because Master Li was not well, he was carried away and was never seen again.
They said my sister was not well.
Will the sister become like Mr. Li next door, never waking up again, never looking at him again, never playing with him again, never talking to him again, never smiling at him again, never gently touching his head again, never hugging him again?
From now on, will he never see his sister again? Will he no longer have a sister?
He was scared and he cried loudly, crying hard, trying to cry his sister back to comfort him.
But his sister did not come back, and his father, mother and elder brother had forgotten him.
He watched his sister being carried onto the tractor, and watched his father, mother, elder brother, and team leader ride away on the tractor together.
Afterwards, he was taken back to Aunt Huang's home.
In the evening, grandma took him away from Aunt Huang's house.
The next day, his grandmother sent him home, but only his father and elder brother were at home; his mother and sister were gone.
*First person below*
I asked my eldest brother, "Sister?"
The eldest brother didn't answer and started crying.
The eldest brother is crying. Is it because his sister will never come back?
I don’t want it!
I want my sister back!
I burst into tears, and then my eldest brother hugged me and we cried together.
On the third day, my mother and sister were still not there.
I didn't ask my eldest brother, but I saw my father and eldest brother crying again.
I heard my father and my eldest brother arguing with my grandparents. I heard my father say that it was my grandma who caused my sister to jump into the river and never come back.
I rushed over to hit her, and she was about to kick me, but my eldest brother protected me in time.
Then the team leader, the accountant, and many grandfathers came.
I can't understand what they are saying.
They were arguing, and my father and eldest brother were crying as they argued.
I saw my father and elder brother packing up their things.
After packing, my eldest brother carried me to our new home. It was very shabby, but it had many rooms.
Sister, come back soon, you have a room.
On the fourth day, my mother and sister still didn't come back.
I didn't cry. I thought, my sister didn't come back because I cried.
I wanted to tell my father and elder brother to stop crying, because if they cried, my sister would never come back.
But I can't speak, and my voice isn't as loud as my elder brother's crying.
Day 5.
Sister, I'm a good boy and I'm obedient. Can you please come back?
Early in the morning of the sixth day.
Brothers, where are you going? Can you bring my sister back?
I miss her.
Afternoon of the sixth day.
Sister is back?
Is it your sister?
Touch it, it’s hot, it’s my sister.
Will my sister leave again?
I have to watch over my sister and prevent her from jumping into the river because of depression. That way, she won't leave.
They are lying. My sister is not ugly at all. She is the most beautiful.
Day 7.
How did I get here?
Where is your sister?
Is my sister really back?
Brother, I want to go see my sister!
I've seen my sister. Big brother, please take me to wash up and eat. After eating, I want to continue looking after my sister.
Day 8.
Where is my sister going?
I want to go too. I want to keep an eye on my sister and make sure she doesn’t get upset.
Day 9.
Where is your sister?
Where is my sister?
I can't find my sister anywhere.
Am I dreaming? My sister hasn’t come back yet?
I'm going to find my sister!
The eldest brother said that his sister went to fetch water.
Oh no, I’m going to jump into the water and I won’t be able to come back!
Let me go, I want to find Si Zhiqing to save my sister. Aunt Li said he can save my sister!
Huh? Is my sister back?
Hmm, it smells nice, it’s my sister.
Hold on, sister, don’t go.
The tenth day, the eleventh day, the twelfth day.
Wherever my sister goes, I will go there too. I will watch over her and keep watching her, and then she will never leave.
