"А ты, - Семён направил тяжёлый взгляд на Митягина, -крой (= иди) в Пожнёвку. Сообщи бригадиру Михаиле о сыне (о том, что его сына убили)...» . ..Митягин сжался. «Ты сам, Семён, сходи... Не могу... - попросил он угасшим голосом. - Не неволь, как же к человеку с эдаким...» Семён взял Митягина за плечо, сурово вгляделся в него. «Иль чует кошка, чье мясо съела?» - «Да ведь я не один стрелял...» - «Двое стреляли. Один медведя свалил 1= убил), другой человека. И сдается ( substand = кажется) мне: ты с ружьем-то похуже справляешься» (Тендряков 1). "And you," Simon looked somberly at Mityagin, "go to Pozhnevka. Tell Mikhailo Lyskov what's happened to his son (that he has been killed).".. .Mityagin seemed to cringe. "You go, Simon, I can't," he said in a faint voice. "I can't do it, how can I go to a man and tell him..." Simon put a hand on Mityagin's shoulder and looked sternly into his face. "A guilty conscience, eh?" "But I wasn't the only one to shoot." "There were two shots. One hit the bear and the other this boy. And the way I reckon

you are not so handy with a gun..." (1a).
