@水巷孑蠻 「於」and「扵」are variants which have the same definition. I chose「扵」because it's closer to the shape seen on the calligraphy sample. Note how the author writes the「方」in「旅」right underneath - he did not write「方」in「扵」.– dROOOzeAug 10, 2018 at 3:54

这句话想表达的意思是:不读书就不会说话或说不出精彩的话。 类似于宋朝的名言“三日不读书,面目可憎” 。几天不读书,就感觉自己很很粗鄙。
